Meanwhile, somewhere else in the woods ...

When my belly got tickled, my toes got jealous. They wiggled so much they made my knees wobble. My wobbling knees shook my whole body so much, that I had to fling my arms out wide to maintain my balance. I guess it was a reflex, but my eyes started to shed tears and my ears stretched out (mimicking my arms).

The whole thing seemed a bit absurd to me, so I smiled politely to Kiya and waited for her to explain her impish behaviour. I wondered, "Why would Kiya initiate the Imp mating ritual? And how did I know to call it 'that'?"
