Cassius stepped forward, his voice gentle as he approached Skadi, who had tumbled onto the grass after another enthusiastic bounce, her giggles echoing through the campsite.
"Hey, puppy, bouncing into the wall looks fun." He said, kneeling beside her, his hands brushing the dirt from her hair, his tone warm with affection. "But you're gonna hurt yourself slamming into the ground like that over and over."
He smiled, his eyes twinkling as he ruffled her hair, his hands gentle.
"And you know, instead of bouncing on walls, you could bounce on a bouncy ground, like a bed, but bigger...Ever heard of a bouncy castle?" His voice turned playful, his posture relaxed as he stood, gesturing at the tent. "It's a house that's bouncy all over, so you can jump anywhere and not get hurt. Way more fun than crashing into walls."
