They were both having a great time with it, that was for sure. Kadin pulled her around, not stopped or resting for a long while, until he could almost feel her started to give up, and then he dropped the toy again to let her have it. She scrambled to get her feet back under her, holding the toy as a prize while she snatched it away from him and ran around in victory, toy held high except for when she stopped to shake it and try and kill it some more. She was having a GREAT time with this game, she didn't want it to end! She would keep playing for the rest of the day if she was allowed to! And Kadin sure wasn't going to discourage her from that, more than happy to keep her entertained and playing with him like this until she finally got bored of it.

He let her prance around with the toy in her mouth while he went to pick yup the one that she had dropped before. He lifted it up and showed it to her while she was still celebrating. He could practically see the cogs turning in her head as she tried to make a decision about what she wanted to do next. she eventually seemed to come to one as she ran over to him, toy still in her mouth, try invite him to play and try to get that toy he had again! She dropped the one she had in order to go after it, determined to get it from him and not to be out done by another toy when she wanted ALL of the toys for herself. but she could only hold one at a time so she had to get that one from kadin by dropping the one she had!

Kadin humored her happily enough, letting her grab the toy and pull on it, growling fiercely once again as he tried to pull it away and keep it away from him. But he held on tight this time, grabbing the toy that she had dropped iin his other hand while he played tug with her, trying to get her to really try to take it away from him. She growled fiercely, trying to play and get it away, but it was difficult! he was very strong! But she had won before and she was determined to win again so she didn't let go, tugging and growling and doing her best to try and get the dang toy! there was no way she was going to give up without a fight, not when such a ncie toy was at stake! she wanted it and she was going to do her very best to get it.

Kadin continued the game, tugging away form her and not letting her get it without a fight. But her determination couldn't be beaten, he could see that she wasn't going to give up until she got the toy! So he did eventually drop it and let her have it, pleased with her determination to play and how willing she was to engage with him wiht the ganme. But once she had the toy and was able to celebrate a little bit, he showed her the other toy! She wanted ti back! She dropped the toy she had and ran over to get it, but this time Kadin didn't even play tug with her, instead he THREW the toy away from her. Without even thinking,s he scrambled, grass and paws flying, as ehs tried to spin around to hcase after the touy rigth awya. She wanted to get it first! she could do it!

and while she was chasing after the toy, he casually picked up the one that she'd dropped, holding onto it while he watched her run ovcer to where he'd thrown the toy and pick it up, shaking it fiercely in her mouth in triumph at getting it. Kadin held up the toy that he had just picked up when she turned back and glanced at him. Without even thikning, not a single thought in her head, he watched her turn back to him and charge him, toy still in her mouth. She couldn' tgrab the one he had until she dropped it, though, so that's what she did right before she jumped up to try and grab it out of his hands! He quickly threw the toy away to encourage her to chase after it again while he bent down and picked up the toy that she had dropped so he could wait for her.

She quickly chased after the toy, grabbing it and shaking it fiercely before turning around to charge back to Kadin, having caught on to how this game works. She wanted to chase something else! and there he had something else in his hands right now! she knew that he wouldn't disappoint her! And once she got close to him he threw it again so she could chase it again adn have a LOT of fun! she was really enjoying herself. Kadin continued to play this game with her for a long time. It took quite a while to finally tire her out, but he did eventually manage to accomplish it. It was only after he was sure that he'd have a calm houluh when he got home did he stop playing with her, ready to try something a bit different for a while so that she could rest up before they did anyting else.

After spending so much time with his houluh, Kadin felt that it was time to give his runner some attention again. He had mostly left the little guy to spend time with the houluh for a bit, but he had a lot of work to do with him so he didn't want to spend his time not working on various things it would need to know eventually. He wanted to bond closely with it, too, since they woul dhave a lot of stuff to do together in the future and he wanted it to be prepared for that. So Kadin took his runner with him the next tim ehe went to the gardens, ready to work with it to make sure that it was ready for when it eventually did get bigger and scarier and he had to work on keeping it safe with everyting that he did in the future.

The first thing that he wanted the runner to know how to do was to fight with opponents. This would be important, but he wasn't sure what he wanted to teach it. He figured that bodning games like he did with the houluh would be a good place to start. So he actually took the same toys that he'd been using before with the houluh and tried to tempt the runner with him. He waved the toy in front of the runner, noting as it eyed them warily, but didn't seem very interested at the end of the day about whatever the toys were about. It wasn't too sure about all of this and didn't want to really want to do anyting with it. Kadin kept puting it in front of its mouth, but it didn't smell like food so it didn't want to eat it. It tilted it head, confused.

Kadin kept trying to tempt it with the toy, trying to get it to do SOMETHING with it. Eventually the runner seemed to cave and gave an exploratory bite of it, not knowing what else to do. Once it bit it, Kadin just held it gently for a bit. The runner tugged a little, as if trying to rip off a piece of the toy, and Kadin tugged back. the runner's eyes locked on him and it tried to pull back again, as if it was trying to rip the toy apart. It was very similar to how the houluh had been playing tug before, but Kadin wasn't sure if the runner releazed that this was just a game. He released the toy to let the runner have it just to see what it would do with it. It simply stood there, toy in its mouth, for a moment, before shaking its head.

It seemed to be trying to rip apart the toy again. When no pieces came flying off, it dropped the toy on the ground and pinned it with one clawed foot, leaning down with its head to try and tear it apart by force. Yeah. Kadin was starting to get worried that the runner would straight up eat part of the toy, even if it didn't smell like food, if it was able to finally rip some of it apart. He needed to get it away from the toy so the he could hide it without risking any of his own fingers. Kadin pulled out some treats he always kept handy. This got the runner's attention, its eyes quickly fixing on Kadin instead of the 'dead' toy on the ground. It sniffed the air, knowing that he had food with him, and that was all it took for it to walk away.

It abandoned the toy there on the ground, much to Kadin's relief. He was able to grab it and store it away somewhere the runner wouldn't be able to get it with an important note to self. Only use toys that were indistructable with the runner or stick to food only for anytihng that might end up in its mouth. He didn't wan tto risk it swallowing some stuffing or string and then needed surgery in order to fix it. So instead of risking anyting dangerous like that, Kadin tempted the runner over wiht some treats and then scattered them all over on the ground so that it would have to sniff out the food isntead of just relying on him for it. He wanted it to search it all out and really get its brain working so that it could be nice and tired when they finally went home later.

The runner had quickly come back to him after having that first treat. When he scattered more treats all over it practically lost its mind. So many smells! so many things that smelled good! So much that it wanted to eat! It ran around in circles for a bit before it ifnally started to seem to get and idea of what it was trying to do right now. It scratched at the grass, trying to clear it away so that it could find the treats that were hidden underneath. Once it had calmed down enough to actually search it wasn't long before it found its first treat and quickly gobbled it up. It shook its head, chomping the treat down with a satisfied rumble. But it could still smell more that was hidden in the grass all over! It wouldn't be able to escape. It searched out more treats meticiously, looking everywhere.

It wanted to get all of the treats, no matter what. It carefually walked around, nose practically to the ground as it scanned the area, occasionally stopping to scratch at a part of the ground where it felt that it might have found something. Kadin was able to watch all of this from off to the side, carefually encouraging the runner and pointing out some prime areas when it seemed as if it was going to pass over a particually good spot to search. He kept an eye out for the treats that he could see, too, so that he could successfully guide it in the right directions. Together, the searched out the treats, the runner quickly picking up that Kadin was trying to help him while they did this and started to even take his directions on where to search, carefually picking out every treat as they moved along the area.

Eventually they had to run out of treats. Kadin couldn't find anymore, although he was sure that there were more out there somewhere. Eventually the runner gave up, too, and was content to look at Kadin again to see if he was going to throw more treats around for it to find. It was certainly food motivated enough! Kadin offered ti another treat out of his hand instead fo throwing more and that seemed to be acceptable, too. Kadin started to walk around a bit, occasionally offering the runner a treat whenever it was looking at him, staying near him, or otherwise paying attention with him. He wanted ti to knwo that good things came from him so he needed to be sure to keep offering good things now while it was small so that maybe this would stay in its memory into adulthood later on. Kadin continued offering treats to keep attention.

It seemed to get the message very quickly and it was soon follwing him around all over the place just for the chance of being given a treat. Kadin hoped that he wasn't going to create a monster this way, but he figured that as long as it was a loyal monster it should be ok. He wandered around, continuing to offer treats to it as they walked around, and pleased when he was able to keep its attention as long as he kept the food coming. They continued on like that for a while, not wanting to lose this chance to really get it associating him with good things as much as possible. Since the playing hadn't really worked, Kadin had no worried about focusing on food instead, since that was another universal thing that more crteatures like and he would be able to always go back an fduse food.
