Loki then jumps away from the tree and starts chasing his tail as fast as he could. After about ten circles he stops suddenly bucks again.

He's thrown and lands on his back in the dirt. He just lays there, trying to catch his breath. Val comes over and nudges him

Desta rushes over to Maverick, "Are you alright?"
Loki snorts and goes back to grazing.

"Told you so," he breathed. He sat up and coughed for a while before standing a little shakily

Desta looks at Maverick, "Lean on me if you need to."

Valerie snorted at Desta as Maverick put an arm on Val's back for support. "That's okay. I'd probably tip you over anyway."

"Professional boxers couldn't do that to me," Desta retorts.

His eyebrows raise in surprise. "Wow." That was all he could say to that.

"I did tell you my brother was trying to go pro," Desta reminds him.

"Well, yeah, but I never thought..." He stopped himself before he could trip up with his words and possibly offend her.
