"I know." Jane said.

"Sorry......................... I just can't imagine another male just attacking you just because of mating season." Shadow said. "I didn't mean to sound rude."

"Fine......... I am sorry............" Hirsch said and walked away. "I wish I had a mate." Hirsch said to himself

Amber laughed and picked you up. She took you to a corner of her den where a wide screen of hanging vines covered a room. It was like a bathroom, and she showed you how it worked. "There's a small lava pool over there, it warms the water and sends it here. If you move this rock, cold water gets in. I also have a soap bar over here" She pointed.

Without an answer or ant type of movement she leapt down and raced back to true ear camp making sure her scent didn't linger. when she got back she saw the Hisch was rather infuriated about something she padded up quietly " Whats going on?" she asked softly sitting down in front of his den.

"Nothing............" Hirsch said.

The wolf cuddled the baby close licking its face. "Sometimes I wish I had a mate so that I could have a family. Yet at others I don't want one. They seem like a very difficult thing to keep up."

"I can hold my own." Kenya sayed walking past him ridding her tail on him as she did. "Come on then...lets get you out of here before the boys find you."

"Not really if you have someone with you." Jane said smiling at him

"I don't need help to protect them from me!" Shadow said.

The rabbit looked up at her. "Thanks." He smiled. "But don't you need to be cleaned as well? I kinda got messy back there.." He admitted sadly.

Katana Flattened her ears a bit everyone had been distant today and she wasn't sure why " Okay... If you want o talk about it I'm here" Katana said before getting up

"Yes, though it's hard to find someone that will stay with you." The wolf sighed looking back at the pup and handed it back to its mother.

"I'm not protecting you, I'm showing you the way home." Kenya said with a smile. She wagged her tail at him in a tempting fashion.
