Sage surprised herself in how quickly she could keep the pace. She expertly dodged trees and kept time with Gooseberry as though she hadn't stopped running a day in her life. Most interesting, she noted.

As she left the bushes behind, she glanced back only once to let out a short laugh at how silly and awkward the scene she was leaving behind looked: Bravlao and Naru sleeping up against the tree, Cayenne and Rowan having some sort of a spat, and Gray pretending not to be listening. "Just a bunch of turtles stuck on their backs back there, aren't they?" she called to Gooseberry with a joyous ring wafting through the freedom of the open air.

[[Welll... the river is to the east, and the farm is northwest, so there could possibly be like a village or something in that direction. Or an enemy warren--as we're gonna need enemies soon. Watchu think girl?]]

Gray smiled as he watched them run off, just barely hearing that comment about turtles through the rustle of the bushes, he pretended not to have heard it though he couldn't help but let out a short chuckle, turning his attention to what seemed to be a little dispute between Rowan and Cayenne, considering to intervene, but deciding not to, they probably would settle it themselves.

(If it is to be an enemy warren we have to be careful how we control it, should it basically have rabbits that everyone control as plot devices or one person controlling them all, also would there be a significant rabbit in control there, like maybe Woundwort? Or would we just have just another rabbit being that warren's chief? Also, how old would this warren be? New? Old?)

(That all sounds quite good in my opinion!)

Hyzen let out a breath of air. "Indi-rah, would you get Hain down here to finish this run? I'm going up for a breath of fresh air." She leaped around, then bounded back down her run and up silf. She bounded by Rowan and Cayenne, ignoring their argument and by doing so, running directly into Grey. "Ufff-! Sorry," She apologized, standing up quickly. "Wasn't paying attention." Suddenly become conscious of how dusty she was, she began to clean her fur.

Gray almost jumped in surprise as the doe ran right into him, almost loosing balance and falling off the treeroot, but he managed to regain his balance somehow, he then looks at her and smiles, though he did find her sudden cleaning behavior a bit strange he thought he shouldn't pry, probably stress-related, he'd seen similar behavior before, "No need to apologise, takes more than that to harm me, so don't wory about it." he said calmly and in a friendly tone, he was in a good mood today and this didn't even come close to making a dent in that.

She smiled sheepishly. "That's good. I was just up for a bite to eat and some air, but..." she flicked an ear toward Rowan and Cayenne. "I got a bit more than I bargained for, so I kinda panicked."

Gray kept smiling and glanced at Rown and Cayenne as Hyzen motioned towards them with her ear, "Ah, those two, not quite sure what's going on with those two, I think it's just Rowan's sleepiness that's talking, gets pretty much any rabbit a bit grumpy without proper rest." he explained shortly, "And fully understandable, happens to everyone."

She nodded. "I suppose I just don't take fighting very well." she shrugged. "Well, nice talking to you!" she bounded a short way off and began silfay.

Rowan looked up, relieved that Cayenne had apparently forgiven him for his outburst. He listened to her proposition, which was quite reasonable. Once the does were finished with digging for the time being, he and others could take over. Meanwhile, he really could use some rest, because even though he could work despite lacking sleep, he would obviously be a poor company while doing so.

“Alright, Cayenne. I’ll rest. Wake me up when it comes time to dig” he said as gently as he could. “One more thing… Thank you for your concern. I really appreciate it.” After that he followed slowly down the run to find some place to sleep...

---

Dash woke up, feeling Runt’s warm body beside him. He had a vague feeling that he had been shaken awake by some sound… a sound of someone’s arguing perhaps. However, at the moment he didn’t hear anything, but regular breathing of sleeping Runt and the sounds of digging. Wait… Digging?

He opened his eyes and took a glance around. Across the burrow, he saw two does, who were working enthusiastically on the wall. They were also quite effective, judging by their progress. So today is the day we will be expanding our warren, eh? I better go outside and eat something before the work, he thought, not looking forward to digging, but he knew there was no way around it.

He looked at Runt, wondering if he should wake him up, but decided against it. Runt wasn’t much of a morning rabbit, so it was better to let him sleep a little longer than face the full wrath of his bad mood. Dash slowly stood up and hopped towards the entrance to the run. Before he could follow it upwards, Rowan showed up in the tunnel. The other buck hopped past him without a word, took Dash’s place beside Runt and went into full sleep in a few seconds.

I guess he really needed to sleep, Dash though with a grin. He went up the run and there he met Cayenne.

“Good morning, Cayenne. How are you today?” he asked in cheerful manner. In his case, getting up early in the morning didn’t affect his mood in bad way.

Indi stifled a yawn as she continued her work, glancing at Hain. The doe had apparently found something in the ground that bothered her, as she was digging furiously at it. Probably a rock.
Zorn slowly woke up, yawning. He shook his fur and sat up, looking around. He wanted something to do, but didn't know what. And digging wasn't apart of it, he noted as he heard Indi and Hain's work.

Gray sat silently on the root, seeming to be asleep, though he opened his eyes and looked around occasionally, then seemed to fall asleep again, he was relying on senses other than sight for now, the ring of bushes didn't allow him to see very far anyway.
His ear twitched as he heard a change in the pace of the digging, the roots led the sound up pretty easily though he wasn't worried about the sound, probably just something like a rock in the ground.

(No. I'm just waiting for Speedwell to post as Cayenne. I hope she will be back.)

(ooc: I find myself without the proper Lapine words. It's been too long! Sorry about this post, just now jumping in.)

The light met the previous Hlessil with a vengeance. Her dark turquoise eyes in slits. However, she knew that she couldn't lie around her forever. Naru had remained sleeping above ground. She still secretly resented these warren rabbits. But her brother Bralvao... No, he had become... Almost accustomed to them. It a strange way. He had began sleeping inside the burrow, while Naruthyl refused to do so. Still, Frith had risen, and it was a call to today's duties. She was still a doe in the Warren, and she had to play her part. She stood up and looked around for any fellow rabbits nearby.

Strangely enough, Bralvao was still sleeping peacefully. He had not yet been awakened by the new day. His silver form rose and fell gently. Such serenity... It was all an illusion that could easily distract one from the dangers brought by elil, among other things.

Dash glanced at Naruthyl, who passed him on her way down the burrow, probably to fetch her brother. It seemed she wasn’t very keen on trying to get accustomed to living underground. Unlike Bralvao. The silverish-blue rabbit had taken quite a liking to sleeping in the burrow.

He noticed that Gray was standing on guard duty now. “Hello there, Gray. Is everything in order? No sign of fox or eagle around?” he asked the other buck, before taking a mouthful of grass. It had a nice taste, but it was nothing special.

Gray was silent, almost giving the impression he'd fallen asleep with how calm he looked, a few moments later he opened his eyes and looked at Dash with a friendly expression, "Haven't smelt or heard anything but rabbits, small birds and leaves, anything I should know about, like rabbits resenting me or such?"
