... a shadow chasing a shadow, a bigger shadow stalking the two.

Luong relaxed, winked at his colleague, and consulted a stopwatch.

The little shadow slowed, appeared to ... turn? showing itself from around the corner, Scylding stopping, staring, a sudden grin.

"It's only a mouse and... " a quick glance "... what's that for?"

The big shadow slowed, the shadow in front of it jumped and clanked before the mouse, the mouse ran towards the shadow and...

A small scream. A small crunch.

"43 seconds: a new record."

Scylding, wide-eyed, wide-mouthed, quickly darted his eyes toward Luong, a silent "What?" in his eyes.

"Relax. It's just my Komodo hunting mice. He's very good at playing ring toss."
