the high five experience:

Dahlia blinked in shock for a moment before coming to her senses. "What was that for?" She asked the mysterious kamper. "Sorry, I'm not mad or anything just stunned." Dahlia giggled nervously. "I haven't seen you around before, are you new to Kamp? I'm Dahlia by the way!" She grinned as she extended her paw towards the kal.

"I'm Astrid, it's nice to meet you!" The other kal responded cheerily, shaking Dahlia's paw. "Sorry to have startled you, it's kinda my thing to high-five others," she grinned sheepishly. "I wandered off from the group on the first day and I got lost, but you found me so its okay!" Astrid giggled.

"So you're not on a team yet?" Dahlia asked curiously, eyeing the kal's messy appearance. Astrid shook her head and grinned sheepishly. "Well, then let me welcome you to Team Sunflower! As an honorary member until you've been assigned a team of course." Dahlia giggled and took Astrid by the paw. "There's an open bunk in my cabin, I'm sure the counselors will let you bunk with us! My bunkmates are all super friendly, so you'll have lots of new friends!" Dahlia exclaimed happily.

"That sounds like a blast, thank you, Dahlia. Let's make this Kamp the best time ever!" Astrid giggled, following Dahlia back to Kamp.

the high five experience:
a brightly colored blur shot out of the bushes and hurtled towards him. his paw was still in the air from warding pesky mosquitos away. the creature slapped his paw a little too enthusiastically.
Prince was not ready for that high five. along with the force of the smack, he lost his balance and tumbled to the side, landing heavily and jarring his shoulder.
"ouch," Prince breathed. pain shot up his limb like lightning, darkening the edges of his vision and making him feel dizzy.
"oh dear, I'm terribly sorry!" the creature helped him up. Prince blinked rapidly. his vision was clearing. good. chamomile or mint should help the pain; some witch hazel bark might lessen the bruising or swelling - although an ice pack should do the trick, if applied within the hour, his brain automatically chirped.
"can you put weight on it?" the voice was sweet and soothing like honey - honey is good for sore throats - but there was this edge that suggested worry.
worry for me, or something else?
Prince hesitantly let his weight shift his right shoulder, which he'd fallen on. there was a dull ache - but he should be able to stand and walk just fine. he gave a little sigh of relief, which was mirrored by the other creature. no serious damage.
then, for the first time, Prince rested his eyes upon the creature, who was finally not moving or obscured by dizzying dark spots in his vision.
it - she - was a kalon.
she seemed to hold an air of playfulness and boldness - always on her toes, ready to jump and leap and run to the edge of the world at any moment. coiled like a spring. overflowing with optimism and joy and enthusiasm.
"sorry 'bout that," she breathed, tilting her head at him. "I don't like following the rules. kamp is fun - without the counselors always bossing us around and such." she gave a little breathless laugh. "so I run away each day after lunch and hide here for the rest of the day. sorry, I love high fives - they make me feel great. they seem to make the recipient feel great, too - as if it's transferring energy and positivity - except when I'm bored out of my mind and have too much energy. my bad, I thought you wanted high five."
she paused to take a quick breath, then barreled on: "please don't tell anyone - it's like my own little hideout. maybe I should've thought that out before I high fived you. you won't tell anyone, right? what's your name?"
"Prince," he replied, at a loss of words. "no, I won't tell anyone."
"Prince," she echoed. "cool name. by the way, I'm Ellie. ooh! it's almost time for dinner! wanna go back? heard the cooks were giving out free eel heads! let's go, let's go!" she took off without a reply.
"er, I'm not quite a fan of eel heads -" he began, but broke off with a laugh and followed her.
maybe he'd made a new friend.
