Arrowroot had been running all day. Okay, well most of it. It was because he was always in a hurry, and fast too, that he became a runner for the warren. It also helped he was smart, cautious and obedient. A smart mouth rabbit felt the bite of an owsla officer pretty quick.
Now, it's been a cause of celebration among the warren rabbits of late because the runners had new members. The races had been successful enough as to bring in the fast of those who entered. Of course him and the others will truly see if they deserved the "runner" title. He celebrated with the other rabbits, but always kept alert to commands.
He sat upon his hind legs under a tree as the other rabbits celebrated. Out of the corner of his eye he caught the sight of doe who was eating. Getting ready for the winter, he supposed, and it was a good choice too.
"Hello," he called out to the spotted doe. Hoping to make some light conversation as she was pretty and hopefully pleasant too.
