He did like being competitive sometimes it was fun since it lead to a challenge that may sound interesting , but sometimes he didn't feel the energy to be so or that it was necessary . Although his spirits were lifted up once more when he heard trixies story making him thrash his tail in excitement as he took another bite he imagined her directing the beast into the mud pit making him giggle after he swallowed . "ain't no wretched old dog gonna mess with the best of the best ! " he cheered with a perk of his head then gotten an idea which made his eyes shine yet again as he quickly stood up with his tail in the air "where is that thing? I wanna give it a what for ! Besides if you can beat it then that means I can too." he added in with hope in his tone , the toms paws were itching to head where the dog was , besides he was getting cabin fever already . And it was a lovely day out in his opinion and a great opportunity to have an adventure . The calico crouched then jumped up with a twirl " please trix? It's getting boring staying in that tree ." he begged with a whine.

Trixie didn't comment on the calico's complaint, whiskers twitching as she silently answered, Yes, yes I do. Everything was a competition to her, and she was fairly sure that Russus liked a competition himself, despite himself. She couldn't help herself, though, despite her initial intent to stay quiet, so she finally said "I'm sure you'd like to win... but I'm not making a wimp out of you. Do you really want me to go easy on you?" She gave a huff herself, fixing him with a challenging look. She doubted that the tomcat would be satisfied with a win when he knew that the only reason he did succeed was because she went easy. When her brother commented on the dog, pride swelled in her as she puffed her chest. Being so admired by Russus really did mean a lot to Trixie. She was hesitant with his next idea, however she did just say she wasn't raising the young tom to be a wimp, so with slight regret she gave in to his request. "Alright, alright, I'll show you where he was. But I don't promise he'll be there- and hey, you listen to me, alright? If I so much as tell you to take a step to the left I expect you to listen, and if I tell you to run... you better run as fast as your legs can take you. I'm not raising you to be a wimp, but I'm also not raising you to be killed by some scroungy mutt, either." The molly stood, keeping her gaze fixated on the calico to gauge his reaction. If she didn't think he was going to listen, then there was no way she'd be taking Russus to see the dog. Sure, it had only been a little one, but any dog had the potential to be dangerous.
