<blockquote>First, he wailed from her attack, but she, too, cried in protest when her brother lashed his tongue against her face. <b>"Eeeeeeeewwwwwwww, Ryv'!"</b> He fell back and she naturally leaned down with a glare as if to keep him pinned there. His belly was exposed to her and she made sure she planted both of her stocky forepaws on either side of his head, maintaining a stance that clearly marked her as the dominant victor. Her tail held loftily above her back, she sneered happily at him.
<b>"I. WIN,"</b> she declared, her tone heavy with the pride that came with the need to <span class='word'>pontificate</span> and announce herself as Ryvet's vanquisher. <b>"And that meaaaaaaaaaannnsssssss it's <i>pay back</i> time."</b> Sticking her tongue out then drawing it back behind her teeth, she withdrew from the space close to his muzzle and clenched her jaw. A giggle bubbled up from her throat but when she opened her mouth again, a rather thick string of dribble descended from the tip of her tongue with a rather unflattering <b>"<i>Ah-blaaaaaahhhhhhhh</i>."</b>
Taima craned her neck downward again and <i>down, down, down</i> the <i>spitball</i> went, stopping just above Ryvet's nose.</blockquote>
