Subject: OBIX ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A-hem. First story-thing I've ever done with him in it. My baby...!

Teal fur rippling, an adolescent Asaque trotted lightly through the woods of his clan's home. This Asaque was well-known, valued for his healing and his mediating skills, and also well-endowed, being the son of the clan chief. Obix raised his raptorine head and grinned as the cool wind brushed across his silky fur, sending tiny ripples down his well-muscled stomach and across his lower chest, streaking across his flanks and shivering down his long tail. Today he would teach his younger sister, Arix, how to hunt. Whiskers waving in the breeze, Obix contemplates such an act, his silver claws and points glistening in the warm sunlight. Arix was a highly intelligent and strong-willed female, though she was hardly half-grown. She ought to have no problem learning how to hunt.

Obix paused, six-toed paws still on the moist, cool soil. Leaning his upper torso forward and tucking his arms to his sides, he oh-so-carefully sniffed at the wind. His tail coiled around his waist from beneath and his four-fingered hands flattened and pressed against his stomach. Right there. He could smell his sister's distinctive and rather flowery scent, and he caught a flash of pastel yellow fur as well. With a startlingly loud bellow, he charged, four long legs propelling his 'taur-form across the long grass, claws digging into the dark soil with each spring and upper torso leaning forward to streamline his grinning self.

Arix spun and flinched at the sight of her older brother shooting down the slope towards her. But with a challenging expression, she lanced her tail up in a striking fashion, tucked her arms close, and flung herself into a headlong run. The wind was at her arched tail as she hurtled forward, much faster than Obix could ever be -him being male and therefore rather slow- and whipped past her brother, starting up the slope. Obix let out another deep-throated yell, spun as best he could, and grabbed at his sister's pale form with one out-flung arm. He missed, she continued to ran, and he chased, dogging her through the forest from which he'd so recently come, around trees and over (or through) streams and at one point leaping across a canyon as Arix led him towards the plains.

Both were breathing hard by the time Arix stopped and allowed her brother to tag her, a solid whap on her haunch. She grinned rebelliously at him, and Obix unstrapped two spears from his back, short curved affairs of wood with sharp bone tipping on both ends. "Hunting?" Arix asked excitedly, grinning and rearing up on her hind legs -another thing males couldn't do- and thudding back down again, six toes splayed and claws gripping the earth. "Hunting," Obix confirmed, tossing her the slimmer and shorter spear. She caught it easily and grinned, then turned and scanned the area for the large herd animals Asao hunt. "Not yet, little sister. Today we hunt 'bits." The little femme turned an aghast gaze on her brother. "I don't want to start learning on those!" she protested, but was met with an Asaque back as Obix re-entered the forest. With a highly annoyed shrrr, Arix followed.

Two hours later, the siblings high-stepped it home, a brace of 'bits slung across each's back and a glint of absolute triumph in Arix's pale eyes. "Told you I'd get more than you," she said smugly, for she'd gotten five and her brother only four. Obix laughed. "Only because I was busy helping you." One bewhiskered eyebrow arched and Arix gave her big brother a slight push with a lean arm, then sidestepped daintily to avoid his retaliating shove. Both Asao then stopped, carefully checked the ropes that tied their catch to their backs, and without further restraint, rocketed through the forest in another wild chase.
