Jatai let out a mournful cry as she rummaged around a series of freshly dug holes, her front paws dirty was the overturned earth. As she darted to another hole, digging even deeper, the Carousel let out another yowl-like noise...What could have caused her such dismay? The lost of a precious, invaluable treasure perhaps?
"My toy is gone!"
...Well, I was close.
Jatai's blue-eyed gaze darted here and there, wracking her mind trying to remember what she had done with her trinket which she had buried just a few days ago. "I know it's around here somewhere....!"

 Pecan let out a loud roar into the air. He swiped his paws at imaginary foes and tackled their similar imaginary henchmen. "Stop fiends! Thou evil plans shall fail by the brave, courageous, and heroic acts of Pecan!"
He beat his strong legs beat against the ground as he played throughout the field. He looked towards the sunny sky as he ran from overhead dragons. Peacan quickly turned and let out a rawr as he slid backwards on the soil.
"Roooa- ahhh!" Caught by surprise Pecan had fallen into a freshly dug hole. As he jumped out of the pitfall he had tripped in he was amazed at the sight of even more holes decorating the field. "Don't... think, argh! This hole will stop me!" He struggled to climb out, covering himself in dirt as he jumped out only to slip back in. Sliding against the dirt made his mane become a soft brown that contrasted greatly against his grey face. Finally out, Pecan hacked as he choked on pieces of dirt. "Which villain dug these holes?"
Looking around he saw a fox a small distance away. "Stop fiend! Your trickery shall not harm the civilians!" He let out a loud roar once more for dramatic effect. He ran and hopped towards the fox at full speed intending to tackle her but stopped only a few inches away.
"Hello! I am called Pecan! What is it they call you sir?"

OOC// I luffles you--hardly anyone actually uses the part of how boyish some of my characters and pets are ; w;
Jatai took no notice of the nearby roars and calls while she dug here and there. Far less concern with what must have been other Carousels playing, she went closer to the creek side to dig when suddenly the noise sounded...closer.
Too close.
She jumped a bit as a cry rang out, looking up quickly enough to see a mass of grays and silver fur tumble into one of her holes. One would be concern, right? They would hurry over and inquire if the fallen was alright...
...Not her.
Jatai gave a scowl, turning her back on Peacan and proceeded to digging another hole. She ignored him when he let out another call, sounding more and more delusional by the second. Her ears flattened in annoyance against her head, not in the mood to deal with anyone while her precious knickknack was missing...She would have continued regarding him like the air unti...
"What is is they call you sir?"
...
She had come to a frozen halt, the last sound from her being the jingling of her collar tag...Gritting her teeth she dug her hind legs deep into the soft dirt and gave a great kick in his direction, flinging a mess into his face!
"Leave me alone 'Peanut'! I'm busy trying to find something!"

Pecan sputtered as the dirt hit his face and stung his eyes. He tightly shut his eyes and tried to rub out the grits of soil with the back of his paws. "You... ow... seem you have accidentally kicked some dirt into my eyes. But no matter I'll be able to get out the dirt in a second."
He continued to rub until he slowly opened them to reveal reddened eyes. "Oh? Did you lose something fine sir? I'm sorry to have gotten in your way! Maybe I can assist you. And I see you're confused with my name. My name is Pecan, but if you have a hard time remembering you may call me peanut if you wish."
With his blurry vision Pecan looked over the landscape to see the hole ridden earth. "Maybe your lost item is in one of these strange holes. I wonder who dug these." Pecan hopped to the nearest hole and peered inside. "Nope, not here. Maybe we could search elsewhere. What did a young gentleman like you you lose to be searching so hard?"

She turned to him, frowning and narrowing her eyes at the strange Lion Carousel. Lowering her head slightly and giving a rather menacing glare...she spoke lowly to him: "...You're nutty, y'know that?"
She was completely annoyed by how he kept referring to her as a male...but he seemed a little too child-like to attack.
For now.
Rolling her eyes, Jatai bounded over to where he went and promptly told him, "I dug all these...I buried a toy somewhere around here and....well, I've been looking for it all morning." Giving a sigh, she decided not to correct him on her gender...Actually, a little scheme was forming in her mind--She was going to see just how long she could drag this on...
Anyhow..."So, Nutty, start digging. Many paws make light work and all."

"I'm not nutty, I'm Pecan." He stated as he looked at her with a confused face. Pecan blinked a few more times before the fox's face came into focus. A toy? "Oh wow? All morning? Ok then, I'll get right on it!" He smiled as he hopped to an untouched patch of dirt and began to dig. As he dug he flung dirt in Jatai's direction. "I'm so glad to make a new friend! All of the carousels that I've met have been girls so far, so it's exciting to meet another boy. So... what's your name sir? You never answered."
Looking into the freshly dug pit he peered inside only to see torn roots and insects. He called out to the fox, "No toy here," and promptly moved to the next patch. "So what do you like to do? I love playing pretend. There's nothing better than saving a village from villains!"

"'Nutty' is the nickname I'm calling you by--Like it or not, you a'int stopping me from calling you that."
She gave a charming little smirk then, but Pecan had already begun digging away at unturned earth, flinging both dirt and grass at her. She raised her paws, blocking most of the debris before she moved out of the way. Jatai laid herself on a rock, which was warm from the sun's rays. She closed her blue eyes to rest them, her tail giving a small flick as it would when she was finally content. She didn't often like just sitting around...but watching this guy was using up all her 'amusement'.
"Uhh, yeah...Name's Jatai," she called, "and I really do prefer doing more down-to-earth stuff....Y'know, exercise and races and little fights here and there. Get the blood pumping and keep it burning~
You understand what I mean?"

Pecan blinked in response. "Oh. Well that's ok then!" He gave her a toothy smile and went back to digging. "It's nice to meetcha Jatai." His pit now over a foot down his eyes reached just barely over floor level. "I love fighting! Especially when I'm helping other people."
Truthfully he has never fought another creature before besides the occasional unfortunate butterfly or moth. But to Pecan of course, it was a fierce battle for the fate of the world when it came to playing pretend. Seeing as the desired toy was not likely deeper than the pit he dug, Pecan made to jump out of the pit only to slip back in as he had done earlier. However as his hind feet scratched against the dirt walls in his attempt to get out, an unknown object dislodged itself and fell from the compact walls. As he fell backwards and crushed the object with his body, a loud 'squeak' echoed against the field.

Jatai gave a hearty chuckle at his last comment, unable to help it since two factors such as 'fighting' and 'helping' didn't often blend well together. This guy...was sort of amusing. 'I think I like this nut,' she thought to herself.
She didn't have many friends. In fact, she hadn't met many Carousels and she usually bumped them off. This happy-go-lucky, imagination ball of tiger fuzz was the first Jatai felt comfortable talking with. Sounded like the two could get into a few good rounds too~
She was about to speak again when suddenly...
"'Squeak'...?" Her heart practically just stopped right then as she jumped up to a stand. Eyes wide she hurried over to the hole and jumped down. "STAND UP STAND UP STAND UP!!" she cried out, pushing him out of the way. "My tooooooy!!!" she yowled, pawing gently at the broken squeaky bone on a string.
Now she had two.
She reared her head at Pecan, teeth gritted and fangs bared and she tackled him into the dirt. "YOU BROKE MY TOY!"

He panicked as he heard Jatai yell; his mind couldn't grasp what was going on after he had fallen. "What?" He looked around his vision blurry unaware of what was going on. "Broke? I didn't mean to!"
Pecan got up and backed away slowly from Jatai. "Please don't be angry..." He looked over at the broken toy and frowned at what happened. "We can look for a new toy for you if you want!" He backed away more until he hit the walls of the pit. Pecan's ears pressed against his head as his shoulders tensed. He looked towards the floor to avoid looking into Jatai's eyes. "I'm sorry..."
Summoning his courage he looked towards her hesitantly. "I can give you one of my toys if you want. They're back home near my bed."

Jatai crouched down low, as if prepared to pounce as she glared at Pecan. But she didn't down anything...not yet...not until he turned his gaze up to her...and she attacked. She leapt at him, tussling around with him but it actually didn't seem like she was trying to be purposely violent. She kept her claws in and didn't use her fangs...In fact, it was more like she was muzzle-punching him! Maybe she was angry...but she wasn't trying to hurt him!
...All too much.
After a few moments of one-sided roughhousing, she stood over a pinned down Pecan, huffing heavily and smiling with triumphant. "I...I win..." she said through heavy gasps, flopping over him. "T-that...was for...breaking my toy...We're even now..." she sighed tiredly, "Wanna...get a drink...from the river...?"

"Ah!" he yelled out as he was tackled by Jatai. His eyes opened in fright as he was pushed back into the ground and ruffled. Pecan closed his eyes shut and brought his paws up to his eyes to protect his face. He cracked open an eye as Jatai stopped her fighting. His body felt soar at the unfamiliar activity. He cracked a smile seeing Jatai smiling back at him.
"What just happened?" Pecan asked to himself. He wasn't quite sure why she had tackled him like that, though it seemed to have made her calmer about her broken toy. He didn't question it any farther. He continued to rest on his back, pinned to the ground. He swished his tail as his grin grew wider. "Ok! Let's go!"

She propped herself off of him and leapt out of the hole, giving herself a good shake to rid herself of the loose dirt and stones sticking to her fur. "It's called 'Play fighting', Nutty," she told him while she headed over to the nearby creek, "I thought you fought 'villains' before? Should know how to fight a little bit~" Jatai lapped up a good long drink, letting out a sigh of content as she pulled away after a few moments. "You gotta get your head out of the clouds sometimes...You just might have to face a real villain one day."

Pecan sputtered defensively. "I- I know! I was just testing you!" He shouted from the hole as he leaped to come out only to fall back in once again. A jumping lion he is not.
After struggling for a few seconds he managed to climb to higher ground. "And I have fought villains! Great evil villains that you wouldn't even imagine!" He ran to catch up with Jatai as she left towards the the creek.
After he took a drink for himself Pecan looked towards the fox with defiant eyes. He was ready to take on any villain, now or later! And that's exactly what he told her, if with a slightly arrogant tone.

She raised an inquiring brow, smirking quite slyly as he said this. "Oh really...?" she drawled out with snarkiness, "I bet you couldn't even beat me! I bet you couldn't even make me break a sweat in five minutes--Want to take me up on that bet...?" She backed away from him slightly, pulling herself into a crouching stance with eyes narrowed and grin stretching from ear to ear. She flicked her tail tauntingly, daring him to strike...
