"Give it back!" Alex said as he ran through the woods, blindly chasing after his target. "That's mine!" And didn't he feel like a two-year-old.
Wolf stuck his head out of the cabin and shook his head as he watched Alex run after Eagle, who had taken his canteen and was running off with it. Wolf just shook his head. Why had the unit gotten stuck with the lot of them? They'd be lucky if they weren't binned.
"Will those two ever grow up?" Wolf asked Fox as he made his way back into the hut and took a swing out of his own canteen.
"Cub's just acting his age," Fox reminded Wolf, "and Eagle's just a hopeless case."
"You can say that again," Wolf muttered as he pulled on his boots.
"Eagle's just a hopleā¦" Fox started to say with a cheeky grin.
Wolf smacked him on the back of his head, cutting him off. "Okay, that's enough."

"Give it back!" Alex said, as he attempted to tackle Eagle. Eagle just grinned and waved the canteen in front of him, hooting as he moved out of the way of Alex's well-aimed foot.
Suddenly reminded of a schoolyard bully who would do anything for attention, Alex smirked. He didn't move, waiting until Eagle stopped.
"What, don't you want your canteen?" Eagle asked, waving it in front of Alex's face.
"No," Alex said, "It's yours."
The look of confusion on Eagle's face was priceless. Alex used that moment of distraction to grab the canteen and run off again.
