Part 324: Donny A

Gyah! How is this possible?!

S-sorry, Panne!

How did I walk into ANOTHER trap? And a pitfall, no less! Is there any greater cliche?

Well, this time I was designin' the trap to catch YOU! ...On purpose, I mean. I been watchin' ya pretty close, so that determined the trap I set.

I'm well aware you were watching me. That is why I intentionally took unnatural and misleading actions.

None of that really matters, though. Instincts're what I'm after. If ya know what a critter does when they ain't thinkn', they're good as caught.

You claim to know my actions better than I do?

Er, I guess so. ...Sorry 'bout that.

I suppose I must accept it. I was bested by a human. I have failed.

Now that ain't hardly fair to say! I just know more about trappin' is all. I can think of a dozen things yer better at than me, easy!

Is that your idea of pity?

Ain't no one needs to pity you, Panne. Just speakin' the plain truth.

...I allowed pride to blind me. This was a valuable lesson, Donny. You have my thanks. I'm certain this war will provide ample opportunity to see who is more shrewd. Our rivalry will ensure we never grow bored.

Gosh, I'm honored ya see me that way.

Just don't expect things to continue to be so one-sided. I will win the next round!

Well, I ain't going' easy on ya! You'll have to earn it!

I would have it no other way.
