Kamaria emerged and scanned the area, below were Aliya's four day old pups, and she wasn't taking any chances.

Dahoma looked at his siblings with joy. New playmates!

Wichita was grateful for being accepted into the group and if the group needed a babysitter she would gladly help, but only if nobody else stayed behind.

Kamaria was planning on staying behind today, rovers had been hitting the Jumma alot recently, and Kamaria thought that babysitting was a better way to protect yourself from them.

Duke wakes up and is fast to emerge. He chirps a hello and stands on a small hill, taking sentry as he suns himself. They now have a second litter in the mob, and he's glad everything turned out alright.

Kamaria glances at WIchita. New females should not be trusted to babysit.

Duke sits to groom himself, patiently waiting for the others to emerge. They will need babysitters today again.

Wichita chrips back to Duke and then goes on sentry duty as she would let Kamaria stay behind and babysit today.

Duke looks at Wichita and goes back to sentry duty. It wasn't his job to decide which females babysit. As for the males, he trusts all of them and will let any of them volunteer.

Kamaria just ignores Wichita.

Dahoma looked at kamaria, why was she being so mean tot eh new female?

Little Boy emerges and stands sentry.

Suri also emerges. She also decided to babysit today.

Aliya is below, feeding her pups.

Emzio emerges and looks up at the sky with interest.

Duke decides to head below ground to check on Aliya and their pups. He enters the chambr they're and smiles when he sees them. They, along with the other litter, are the future of the mob, maybe even the future of other mobs and not yet formed ones.

Kamaria heads below to see the pups. Seeing Duke is already there, she decides to wait for a bit.

Duke lays down inside the chamber next to Aliya. He looks at the pups, happy to see everything is alright.

Kamaria glances at them. SHe's worried that Kumi could pose a threat now that Kumi was pregnant...

Aliya smiles at Duke and nuzzles him. She certainly hoped they'd survive and help contirbute to the group.

Duke smiles back and gets up, leaving the chamber to watch the mob above ground. He comes up and stands near the entrance. They will need at least 2 babysitters, and he would like one of them to be male just to make sure no rovers come to the burrow while they're gone and get another female pregnant.

Kamaria growls. She could handle a rover, she wasn't stupid. pups really weren't her thing anyways, well, being a mother wasn't.

Mungo Jerrie exited the burrow and stood tall on his hind legs to feel the early rays on the underside of his belly. Without his sister around he could look like a responsible member of the group.

Underground, Rumple Teaser gently nuzzled the newborns but knew she'd have to tear herself away from them and join the group on the surface. Having tiny youngsters around reminded her of her only daughter and all the younger brothers and sisters she watched grow up back in her natal mob. Now they were all but gone..hanging her head, she left the burrow thinking about her mother.

Duke keeps a watchful eye on the area. Some of the mob's subordinate females might be able to resist the charm of a rover, but you could never be certain. Having been a rover hismelf, he knows some roving males like to target babysitting burrows, but since it's dry season, there might not be a threat. He'll let Aliya decide what to do.

Aliya leaves her pups and starts making lead calls.

Little Boy and Emzio follow.

Suri stays at the burrow with the pups.

Duke hears the call and follows next to Aliya. He looks back to make sure there's at least two babysitters staying behind.

Hearing the call, Mungo Jerrie turned his head and watched Aylia head out the foraging party. Concerned, he dropped down from his hind legs and made short contact calls trying to contact his sister.
Finding Rumpel Teaser coming out of the burrow, he quickly rubbed his head against her and scurried back to his sentry position near Suri.

Rumpel Teaser accepted the sign of affection from her brother and shuffled onto the warm sand. Hearing Aylia, she plodded off into the grass after the dominant pair unconcerned that her brother was trying to show some responsibility for once.

Kamaria stays behind to babysit, as she had planned.

Dahoma follows his mum happily.

Duke moves along beside Aliya, looking around as he does so. Aliya will be open to mating again soon, if she's not already, and even though there's decreased rover activity now, he's on the edge with rovers.
