Roleplay-24th of December

Romeo smiled in thanks to those staying near Ponda to protect him.

Ajia trailed behind her mother, silently praying that they wouldn't loose another one.

Saffron walked up too Ajia

Mischka smiles back with a nod, as if to say 'no problem' then begins scanning the area diligently. He won't hesitate to risk his life if a predator threatens to take a fellow member's life.

Conker resumes looking ahead, keeping an eye out for the burrow. He hopes they get there before the scent of Ponda's blood attracts a predator to the Jumaa's location.

Saffron follows Conker

Aliya walked, keeping her gaze up ahead.

John scanned the area for any signs of danger. He won't let any further harm be done to Ponda.

Root scans the area. So far, things have been peaceful and quiet. That was a relief.

Petal still laid near the graves, quietly mourning.

Conker walks side by side with Saffron, surveying the area for danger every few minutes. He knows there's a risk that the scent of Ponda's blood could attract predators, so he's mingling close to her. He has come to see Saffron as a sister and would give his life to ensure she makes it out a predator attack alive.

Mischka walks behind John, Romeo and Ponda, acting as a rear defense incase a predator attempts to catch them by surprise from behind.

At the burrow, Ninja has resumed his diligent watch for danger. So far, today has been tranquil and drama free. Little does he know he and the other babysitters are in for a shock when the Jumaa arrive.

Ninji tilts her head in curiosity when she sees Petal situated in front of 3 little hills on the fringes of burrow grounds, appearing to be sobbing. She trots up to her, first making eye contact with her, her eyes glazed over with curiosity. W-why is she crying? She then looks at the 3 little hills, each decorated with a flower. For some reason, the sight of the graves makes her feel disconcerted. What are these? Seeing how the adults have been acting towards them convinces her they mean something bad. But what? She looks at Petal questioningly. Why are you crying, Petal? Does it have something to do with these strange little hills? I've noticed the adults have been displaying sorrow towards them and it has me curious.

Phoebe was still playing with Fly. She didn't notice her sister Ninji asking Petal about the three graves. From how she saw the adults act around them, she knew it was something bad. She didn't dare approach the graves, afraid if she did, something bad would happen.

At the moment, Ninja is putting all of his focus on staying alert for danger so he's unaware his daughter, Ninji, has discovered the 3 graves.

Fly continues playing with Pheobe. She hadn't really had the chance to play in a long time, as she was seperated from her brothers, Flinch and Sneaky Paw, and her sister Splash, and enjoys spending time with the younger pups.

Ponda shivers a little... Wondering why his mother attacked him... Not really thinking about the others around him.

Saffron looked beside her she saw something... she walked over their but stopped and looked at conker then back to the thing

Conker glances at Saffron curiously. What did she see? His eyes follow her walk over to a juvenile yellow mongoose. He's already learned they pose no threat to meerkats so with a reassuring peep, he assures her there's nothing to worry about.

Mischka doesn't notice Saffron investigating a yellow mongoose that has stirred her suspicion and is watching Ponda shiver with sympathy. Poor thing. He must be traumatized by his mother's attack. He feels the brutal assault will leave him psychologically scarred for life.

She know what it is but walks closer somethings..behind it she was behind and she finds some sort of egg she tries to pick it up it does budge

Comet also follows, very slowly... He's not aware that Ponda was Iblis's son, so isn't sure what to think of the situation.

Saffron Chrips too Conker happily

Fly turns at the call, curious. She tilts her head. Why is... The group returning early...? She begins to worry, something bad might have happened again, she's not sure she wants to know the answer...

Saffron Looks at him

Fly tilted her head at Saffron, confused...

Saffron looked at the type of egg then at Fly

ooc: I guess we say the group is now at the burrow, then? That's where Fly is...

bic: Fly glances at the egg curiously.

Occ-No there forage saffron just was at the very end and stoped then picked it up a bit but it didt move so she came back to get fly to pick it up for her

ooc: They're heading back to the burrow... And Fly is at the burrow...

Occ- I know flys at the Burrow

ooc: I'm confused. Is Saffron at the burrow then or is she at the foraging party? Because she's walking along side Conker who's with the foraging party. She can't suddenly appear at the burrow. And I was having the expectation that Night would post when the Jumaa would arrive at the burrow.

Occ-Ok then lets pretend i never possted she chriped 2 fly

ooc: Eh... I'm still confused... She can't chirp to Fly if she's with the foraging group...
