The Collapse

"Where do we look? In the water? And how will we know it's for sale?" Mhuni just wished she was back in the simple world of the Pridelands.

[KingKovu44]

Cheng smiled. "We will go and look at the docks," he said. He then began to head towards the dock.

[Nyasi]

Dusk and Dawn glanced at each other. "How'll we find one that'll comfortably fit us all?" He shot a sharp glare at Ash for a second, obviously meaning 'where he wouldn't have to be anywhere near that monster'. Dawn glanced at the water.

Cheng looked back at the deer. "There's different kinds of different sizes, so it shouldn't be an issue," he said.

[TheLionQueen]

Ash laughed and looked at Dawn and Dusk, "I won't try to hurt you guys." Ash then put a evil look on her face, "Unless I get hungry!" She teased the deer, and laughed. She kept walking looking at the boats

[KingKovu44]

Cheng's ears went back and he frowned. "Ash, please don't joke like that," he stated.

[changa]

Mhuni nodded, and said out of the side of her mouth, "Ash, I know what it's like to be surrounded by delicious creatures you can't eat. I have the same feelings. But you just have to handle it, I guess.

[Nyasi]

Dawn shot a worried glance at Dusk, seeming to fully agree with Cheng to a further extent. She knew he was a protective buck - a strong one, with good sized antlers, at that - but she'd never seen him as edgy and aggressive as he'd been recently. But then again, his home was destroyed, his sister's life was at risk, he hadn't a clue what had become of their mother, and the doe he loved had been killed by the beasts they were going to kill. She was surprised he hadn't broken by now, and that he probably had a large amount of hatred building up in him. To have to travel with a wolf who had killed one of Dawn and Dusk's own probably wasn't helpful, especially when - joking or not - this very wolf was threatening them if she got hungery. It wouldn't be a polite fight for the kremlings, though, as Dusk had sharpened his antlers to a point that Dawn hadn't seen in her whole life, not even from the older bucks, who were almost guaranteed to have whatever doe he liked. Dawn nosed her brother's hard shoulder. "Dusk, calm down. She's only joking - she is no different from us. We eat grass, she eats meat. Without preditors, there'd be too many prey animals that eat grass, and no more grass, and we'd all starve. Just calm down." Dawn said quietly.

[TheLionQueen]

"Yeah Dawn is right I was joking. I wouldn't eat you two." Ash said trying to tell the buck she wasn't gonna hurt them.

[Nyasi]

Dusk let out a low noise, but his hard-tensed muscled loosened the slightest bit. "Let's hurry up and find a boat," he said flatly. Dawn sighed and walked by her brother. She didn't know what to think - he must be scared. He must be turning that fear into an aggression he can use to keep himself and Dawn alive. 'That must be what he's doing,' Dawn told herself.
