*did a light bark in enjoyment *

Watching the commotion in front of him, Torak sent Alpha into the Troll cave with a whistle. After a few minutes, she returned carrying what looked to be bedding in her maw. Tak and Darkhoof aided their trainer in setting up the sleeping bag, before the Qitari settled down next to it. On the opposite side of the bag, Tak laid defensively between the two elves, forming a formidable barrier in case of attack.

Alpha perked up her ears, listening. She could clearly hear a soft growl from the nearby underbrush. Raising her muzzle to the air, she padded forward quietly, picking up the scent of her own kind. A pup, she thought, too young to be alone. Alpha kept her distance, as pups this young were never alone, and a protective parent was the last thing she desired to face tonight.

( i just join so i ping evryone to make you know ^-^)

The ryori stare at the entrance of the cave for a while, there was alot of activity in there but despite the potentiel risk of a bad encounter he slowly make his way inside. His etheral looking fur waving softly with the breeze he pick up the scent of different animals and two fairly distinct smell that he coudn't identified. Not knowing if any of the creature inside was awake he make is way silently near the elfes.

Mocha turned, sensing another animal. He slowly padded towards where he thought they were. A soft yip coming from his mouth as if to say "Who are you?" His paws scraped the earth as he walked and he let another yip "Where are you?"

Torak was sleeping lightly, hand resting on his sword. Tak, however, slept as if he were hibernating, and it seemed as though nothing could wake him. Darkhoof slept restlessly, waking every few hours and nervously chewing some thistles to calm himself before falling asleep again. Only Alpha remained awake, her gaze focused on the young Lupora from the bushes. She could smell no sign of a parent nearby, so she let out a soft bark to identify herself.

Nearby, Darkhoof woke up again, but not due to Alpha's bark. He focused his gaze and ears toward the cave, where he saw a shadowy figure in the darkness. Standing up, he moved a few steps closer as silently as he could for a better look.

Mocha stepped through the trees, sniffing the air as he went. Still, trying to find them. He had forgotten about his mother, left behind. All instincts telling him to find this creature. From a cave he spotted it, he heard it too, suddenly and randomly his defence kicked in. His ears tucked back and head lowered, he let out a small growl just enough to say "If you want to hurt me, I can fight back." but not enough to show any real threat. Mocha didn't feel safe without his mother.

Using his hablilty Raven softly walk thrue some rock bloking the way to stay out of sight of the lupora. As he was scaning the area he saw the quilari aproaching, he take a few step back, emmitting a half growling half hissing sound at the sylesti.

In the most nonthreatening posture she could muster, Alpha padded toward the lone pup. She was not deterred by the apparent show of force, as she could easily overpower the pup in one blow if needed. However, Alpha determined that it would not come to that, stopping just out of reach of any lunge the pup may try.

Near the cave, Darkhoof stopped in his tracks. The shadowy figure was hissing at him, and caution got in the way of curiosity. Slowly he took a few steps back, whinnying quietly. A loud enough noise would wake his master, but Darkhoof was convinced it would take nothing less than a storm to wake Tak. The Qitari pawed the ground with a hoof nervously.

Mocha slowly paced infront of them, observing their movement, checking if they are good or bad. After about a minute or two, his ears gently returned to normal and he sat infront of them, head tilted playfully. He yipped happily, glad to have found someone.
