"Let's go now!" Zaki sprang into the air with childish excitement.

Eligh chuckled, and stood promptly. "Alright alright, calm down... you might give 'er a heart attack with your instant bouncing." He joked playfully.

"NAW!" Zaki laughed. "She likes my excitement!" he paused. "Now come on!" He bounded off, looking back to ensure Eligh was keeping up.

"okay okay, whatever ya say!!" Eligh called his exccited brother. He chuckled along the path, and followed Zaki the whole way, feeling proud of his brother who had gotten a girl.

Zaki had to slow down a few times, making sure he didn't go too fast for Eligh, as Zaki was really good at running.
"Maaabeel!" Zaki barked as he got into a deep area of the woods. "Maaaabeeel!"
Before they knew it, a slender copper orange female leapt through the brush, flicking her tail to the side.
"Zaki! shhh! You'll wake my brothers," she said with a sweet voice. She turned and saw Eligh. "Oh...hello..?"

Eligh caught up with his brother, standing straight while he slowed down. Eligh was noticably taller than his brother, so when he saw the female, she looked abnormally small too.
"Hello. Im Eligh, Zaki's older brother." He said, walking over.

"Ah, Eligh," Mabel smiled politely. "I've heard a lot about you. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. I'm Mabel."
Zaki sat, wagging his tail, near bursting point with his simple-minded excitement.

"Oh..really? So Zakster, what've ya said 'bout your dear old brother?" Eligh teased, smiling. "Nice ta meet ya Mabel." He said.

"He's said nothing but positive things," Mabel laughed.
"Yep!" Zaki exclaimed, his tail wagging furiously. "Oh! Mabel! Are the birds in the feild?"
Mabel nodded and Zaki went running off.
"a flock of birds land in this feild not too far off," Mabel explained to Eligh. "And Zaki just loves to chase them. I find no harm in it so i let him."

Eligh chuckled as his brother made a mad dash north to the feild, and looked down at Mabel.
"YOu like him? 'S long as you dont hurt him, im glad he got you Mabel. You see, nice." Eligh warned.

"Zaki's very sweet," Mabel said, looking up at Eligh. "It's a shame he doesn't have more friends. I suppose it's because he's a bit slow in some things. I'm sure one day he'll find a girl and settle down to have his own family," Mabel nodded.

Eligh sighed. "Yeah, just cause your slow dont mean nothing." Eigh huffed. "But im sure too he'll find the right girl, and something tells me that it's you...but thats just me." Eligh winked as Zaki came strolling up.

Mabel shook her head at Eligh's last comment and chuckled as Zaki came prancing over.
"I got em all! All of them flew away!" He announced proudly. "I can't wait til they come back!"

Eligh laughed, and winked at his brother.
"Good job ol boy, those birds better watch out next time your around!!"

"YEA!" Zaki barked so loud it echoed.
"Shhh! Zaki shhh!" Mabel warned. "You know how my brothers feel about you..if they wake up and find you-"
"I'll run. Like always." Zaki said. "I like runnin anyway."
