"Aha, if you can catch me!" She lunged toward him and tackled him, going for the sides while doing her best to shield herself. "You are going down!" She giggled.

He yelped, falling backwards onto the ground with her ontop of him. His sides were definitely ticklish. "aaaAHHH- NO-" He crawled back on his hands but ended up flat again to try to push her off, relentlessly giggling.

"IVE DONE IT!" She cackled and attacked his sides again, following him the few shuffles back and grinning down at him. "I knew it!" She giggled, continuing to tickle him. She was not being merciful.

He shrieked, "NooOOOO- stop itTTT-" He cackled. He also had had enough and decided to fight back. "FINE THEN!" He leaned up a little and went for her sides as well. "NO MERCY FOR YOU!"

"AAAAeEeaeaeEEEAAAK!" She yelped, rolling off him and to the side in an attempt to get away, giggling. She snuck in a few more side attacks and scrambled up, slipping on the grass, before she ran to the other side of their little yard. "Bet you can't catch me now! Haha!" She put her hands on her hips and smiled at him.

He cackled at the attempts to escape while still having ahold of her kinda- til she actually did escape. He rolled onto his back while she ran off. He let out an exaggerated exhale. "Right now you'd win that bet." He rasped, leaning up slightly. "God you have ravenous friggin claws were you trying to rake the skin off of me?" He giggled a bit.

"I was very devoted to my mission." She huffed, panting and jogging back over to him. "You better not burn that soup." She teased, stretching out on her back next to him and looking up at the sky.

He rolled his eyes, but also flinched, bracing himself for more tickles. He glared at her, unfortunately with a grin on his face. "If you're so concerned about it, you go tend to the fire." He said sarcastically, laying flat out again. He stared up at the sky and the trees. Then he chuckled quietly.

She rolled on her side and looked at him. "What's so funny?" She tilted her head with a curious look on her face.

He didn't look at her, still staring at the sky, which was a bit cloudy now. "Well, that cloud looks like Dutch." He pointed. "And, y'know. It's been a while."
