Wiggle-waggle wiggle-waggle went the monkey-cat’s tail, and Rune’s little scruffy baby tail did the same almost all by itself-like. The static had faded from his hair some once the big crackling zap had happened, but it started to build up again as his tail wiggled with happy excitedness. His new friend wasn’t mad, and was still wanted to play with—oh! Another new friend! Rune beamed at the nice lady with the sparklies who knew his monkey-cat friend.
“Gumby! Cool! I like him too. He makes my belly smile. I’m Rune! Or also I guess Perun, but everybody mostly calls me Rune now. Maybe Perun is a big-me name? I dunno, the sky man gave it to me and I like it fine, but so far I think I feel more like Rune. And my new momma and sister like it too! I wonder if my maybe new dad will like it too? Guess I’ll find out when I find out if he wants to be my new dad like he’s Ellie’s, and like Miss Elsie-mom is my new momma. It’s nice to meet you, Miss Camrynn, ma’am! You are the first person I’ve met who lives here who isn’t Ellie or Momma Else, or my friend Rowyn and her momma Miss Darking. ‘cept they weren’t from here when I met them! Whoa, where’d that come from?” he broke off, distracted by the stick that appeared at his feet out of nowhere at all.
Rune tried to snatch up the stick, but it was pokey at his gums, which were really only used to nursing and playing with the grass he still had to reeeach for because on account of his legs were really long. And he only had those weird chompy teeth things in the very front-most of his mouth. So he used them to pick up the stick, mouthing it a bit before holding it gingerly between four baby teeth, flailing his head about, and releasing the stick as he flicked his nose forward. The stick went sailing a few feet, and Gumby-friend barked all excited-like and pounced on it, grabbing it way better than Rune had managed and hopping back over to drop it at Rune’s feet.
Rune threw the stick again, and this time it went waaaay farther! While Gumby-friend was off chasing it, he grinned at his new Miss Camrynn friend and bounced over to bump his nose against her shoulder affectionately. “Ow, shoot!” he said as a little static shock jumped between his nose and her shoulder. “Sorry, I forgot. Thank you for the stick! I like this game!”
