Catch-up time.) Bigwig groaned as he heard what Primrose said. Perfect - he never really wanted the Efrafans anyway. He looked around, immediately finding Dandelion and Hawkbit. "You two - I need your help. We need to gather up a group to start digging burrows." He paused as he reached them, and after he finished, briskly set off to find others. If they didn't do as they were told, or find more help along the way if they were procrastinating, they'd learn to regret it. He found a doe - one he hadn't met before - from Efrafa among a group of several. The doe that had caught his attention didn't appear to be quite the same as the rest of the rabbits - not wild by any stretch of the imagination. He couldn't help but find that odd - not that Woundwort would have cared. Any rabbit in the territory was his. She was relatively small, with a strange sheen to her fur - the same fur that was white, ticked through with a light brown, giving it the appearance of frost. Her ears, feet, tail, and nose were pointed with that same brown, and her eyes were grayish-blue. She looked up as Bigwig approached the group. "Hello there," he greeted as he approached. "Right - so you're all out of Efrafa, and from here, you'll have freedom. But I hate to say we have to ask one more thing from all of you - there's no way we can fit all the rabbits we have in our burrows. We need some rabbits on a digging team." She dipped her head. "Honored, sir. Absolutely. We'll all help." she looked around at the other does. "I'm Frostberry - these are Maple, Cedar, and Foxglove." she gestured to the other does. He nodded. "Pleased to meet all of you. See the dimwitted pair over there? The little gray one and that wiry black-eared? They'll take you somewhere to dig. If you're too tired, though-" He was cut off promptly by Frostberry. "No, sir, we're just fine. Even if I was tired, I'd compare my situation to yours. You fought in the battle, and came back, paying attention to everyone, and are still going. I just followed." Bigwig blinked. "Er... Right, then. Go on, the four of you. The burrows await." He bounded off, over to Primrose. "Good thinking," he told her. "Digging in more than one place at a time." (Tl;dr: Bigwig tells Hawkbit and Dandilion to start digging and sends a group of does - including a new character, a mini-satin with a frosted pearl coat named Frostberry - to help. Them he praised Primrose for doing the same.) Edited by Indi-Rah, Jul 14 2013, 05:16:45 PM.

Blackberry smiled. "I'll be there. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone if you don't want me to." Moss had been listening to Bigwig and Primrose, and decided that it was time he said something. "I'll help with the digging, too," he said. "Of course, there's the slight problem of the fact that I don't know how," he thought. (Camp was great, thanks, Ember. It rained a lot, but other than that, awesomeness!) |

(Well'p, if you pray, I could use it - one of my bunnies, about a month old, has developed an abscess on his shoulder. "He" is just a pronoun used for ease of identification, since it could be either... xD Anyway, he is well-marked, and though he has a baby coat, he looks pretty good. I'm guessing that he is showable, and I'd bet once that abscess is gone, it will have nice type, but none of that matters if it dies... Dx I've found a combination of penicilins on the internet that have been successful in eradication of abscesses, so he isn't a lost cause, but he IS young, so I'm worried.) Bigwig nodded. "Thank you, Moss. Why don't you go over with Hawkbit and the others?" |

Dandelion groaned at the prospect of digging, although he was careful not to do so loud enough for Bigwig to hear it. The last day and night and part of another day had tired him very much. First there had been a battle at the caverns, then night march towards Efrafa and another battle there. Then there had been another march back home in a rain. And now they were supposed to go digging without any rest? The only thing he wanted to do now was to dry his fur and then get some quality sleep. However, knowing Bigwig, it was safer to do what he had told them to do. “…See the dimwitted pair over there? The little gray one and that wiry black-eared?...” Dandelion looked at Hawkbit with a frown. “He knows we can hear him, doesn’t he?” (I hope your rabbit is going to get better.) |

(He's out of good stock. We should be able to get it under control.) Hawkbit snorted. "Knowing him, most likely. Can't he just let us rest a bit?" "Orders are orders, though, aren't they?" Frostberry looked bewildered as she bounded up. "I mean, if you show us where to dig, you can rest awhile before you join in - I don't mind - but I've never heard someone talk about orders like that. Given that buck's size, I'm rather impressed!" |

(Is Frostberry impressed that Hawkbit complains openly about Bigwig's orders, even though the latter is bigger and stronger? Or is she impressed with Bigwig's polite way of giving orders, even though he could easily force everybody into obedience?) |

Campion left the burrow and leaned against the earth walls catching his breath. In his haste to explain he had totally forgotten his paw and how it had to be broken. "Moss!" He called, seeing his grey furred friend. "By Frith, what are you attempting to do?? Dig?" We'll, he thought, if I'm leaving tonight I could afford to lend a paw. He felt a wave of guilt at how he was going to deceive his friends. If Hazel and Bigwig didn't already know that he wouldn't do such a thing, the warren might consider the option that he had kidnapped Blackberry. He shook his head and really thought about what he was doing. |

"Well, uh, I was," Moss said, "But I'm not very good at it, and it keeps..." a bunch of earth fell just ahead of him. "Falling." |

Campion laughed amist his dark thoughts. Maybe he wasn't so lost. "Sorry Moss. Ill pitch in." He kicked half usefully at the dirt and was glad no one who he cared about was around to watch him struggle. "Moss, you ll take care of the Efrafans won't you??" |

"Of course I will," Moss replied, "But, you'll be here to help me...won't you?" |

"I'm sorry Moss. I want to be on my own for a while," he said firmly. "I'm going tonight and I won't come back for a while. I'm not on my own so don't worry about me." He left with a smile. " I'll come see you in your warren sometime." Finding Blackberry and proceeding to take her away from here home were two very different things. He saw the silver for and made eye contact. It was enough. Blackberry , he thought, had seen him and he hobbled away, hoping fervently she would follow and not look back. |

„You’re impressed? With Hawkbit?” Dandelion asked with astonishment. It wasn’t like Bigwig would immediately kill somebody because of simple complain. If Bigwig was that kind of rabbit, it would have happened a long time ago and not just to Hawkbit. Then Dandelion realized he probably shouldn’t act this surprised when his best friend was given praise by a doe (a pretty one at that) for his “courage”. “I mean… Of course you’re impressed with Hawkbit. He is epitome of bravery,” he said with a grin, trying to fix his mistake. |

Hawkbit shot his friend a wry look, then went along with it. "Well, of course," he said. "It isn't the first time I've stood up to the brute. I've done it to his face before," he added, puffing up some. Frostberry rose an eyebrow with a smirk. "Oh, I see. Epitome indeed!" She looked around. "Right then, where should we start?" (The little rabbit's abscess has broken on its own. She's okay, but I think there might be a smaller one left, so treatment will continue! Hopefully, this'll be easier to manage!)

Moss stared after Campion in evident confusion and disappointment. "Well, then, be that way," he muttered, "Who needs you anyway?" He blinked in surprise at his own words. "If Campion wants to go away, that's his choice. I'll just have to cope." "Goodbye, Campion," he said softly, "Be careful, wherever you're going." Blackberry caught a glimpse of Campion looking her way, and, glancing around to see that no one was watching, she slipped away after him. |
