Karl and Zayn stood at the entrance, both arms folded as they stared in the direction of the egg bouncing from one place to another and the people running after it.
They were quiet as they looked at each other without any words. And then continued staring at the ongoing chase before their eyes.
"Do you think we should do something?" Zayn asked.
"Why bother? Let's just watch," Karl shrugged.

The chase lasted for over an hour and was basically fruitless. They couldn't catch the egg, and soon they all stopped running, standing there with hands on their knees while they panted.
The egg had stopped before a tree, moving around it as though it was looking for a way to climb it.
"That egg... is stubborn," Eris stated, struggling to catch his breath.
"Do you think it's going to climb that?" Luka inquired as they stared up at the tree and then at the egg moving around it.
"I think we should stop it before it even does," the male mouse suggested.
