Katara

Katara just left the others did follow her but she hadn't expected it.Scar Sarabi you two weren't banished from the haunters you could return thereShe said laying down in the tree's by the lake.

Scar sat down by her. No, I think I am fine staying with you Sarabi too laid down

Krush

Cinnamon-edged ears swiveled like a pair of fine-tuned radars to the voice of the big cats. Of course, Krush's luck had him traveling upwind and through a particularly dense stand of young sumac trees, blocking both his view and keen sniffer of the gathered felines. He didn't know what he was about to blunder into until Scar's voice had rumbled back to Katara, followed by the soft rustling of large bodies idling down against the grasses near the lake.

Krush froze in place, moving only his head as he tried to peer through the dome-like canopy of sumac saplings he was currently concealed in. He caught a slight glimpse of tan fur, but little more. After an uneasy moment, he began to slowly turn and try to ease his way back the way he'd come. 'I'll just quietly back out of here...'

-Crunch!-

Deft as his movements were, Krush hadn't seen the brittle stick beneath a handful of fallen leaves. It cracked under his weight before he could stop and he immediately pinned his ears in fear, wincing as the sound seemed to ring in between his auds. Krush froze once more and slowly tilted one ear back up, pausing to see if any of the big cats had heard this.

Scar

Scar was about to say something when he heard the crunch and he was up and pounced aiming to pin who ever it was down. who are you?He growls.

Katara ears flicked.

Krush

'Maybe if I stay really still, they won't see me here...?' That hopeful thought felt weak even as he forced in through his panicked head. The rushed thump of paws - very heavy paws - quickly ensured him that that damned little stick had given away his position. And sure enough, a massive shadow was suddenly over-taking the thicket, darkening the pale green leaves that sprawled above and around him.

Krush managed to scramble forward just enough to avoid getting pinned as the big cat crashed down through the tightly clustered saplings, but it mattered little as fear seized him just as powerfully anyway. Ashen gray tail was tucked beneath his legs and auds were pinned flush with his skull, while his back arched in terror. The wolfdog crowded back against a single sumac trunk, leaning the entire little tree as he pressed his weight against it. "K-krush? I didn't mean to intrude... I wasn't paying attention." Sky-blue eyes traveled the lion's face, and he sputtered quickly, "Those are impressive t-teeth you have. Don't waste them on me - I'm mostly fur and bone, heh. Not much yummy meat on me, really... just all fur, and boy does it get stuck in your teeth! Super annoying."

Scar

He makes to grab the wolfdog and toss it into the open. Sure lurking is more what I call itHe growled.

Katara watches but for now doesn't stop it.

Krush

The tree at his back became his downfall, preventing the the wolf from springing back from the lion's lunge. He'd tried to bolt forward, but Scar was a little quicker, and snagged him by the side of his shoulder. The next thing Krush knew, he was flying upside-down through the air, leaves and springy branches thwacking him in the face before the ground rushed to meet him with lung-evacuating force. Dazed, Krush rolled to his side, coughing a few times as he blinked up and saw just how many other felines where out here by the lake. The pain at his shoulder and the small blossoms of red welling around the punctures became a distant concern for the blue-eyed brute.

"Not lurking, I promise!" He spat out, rising slowly to his paws, yet still keeping his body low and his tail now tucked, showing his submission to these much larger predators. "I was just out looking for food, and things." He eyed the variety of cats present, while his heart pounded in his ears. "Is there something I can d-do for you, to make up for my, erm, intrusion?"

Katara

Katara didnt know what to do. She was no leader yet all these others seemed to be looking to her. "Enough scar leave him be" she finally said. "do forgive him we are just a little tense right now. I am katara, thats scar this is Sarabi" she also named the others

Krush

Pale eyes jumped to Katara, then followed through with each of the cats being named. He didn't quite commit them all to memory, but at least remembered Katara and this Scar fellow. "That's uh, it's okay." Krush bumbled out, "Honestly, I didn't mean to intrude, I just wasn't paying attention. I was just looking for food for my pack." The ashen and cream hued wolf slowly began to raise himself off the ground, muscle tense in preparation for flight if Scar tried to pounce on him again.

Katara

She watches and listens " there were deer just south of here" she said

Krush

Krush didn't glance to the south, but kept his eyes on the myriad of big cats sprawled before him. "Oh?" Came his forcibly optimistic response to her offered information, "So uh..." He dared to take a step back, paws falling softly into the thick, spongy moss that covered so much of the ground here, "...you'll let me leave then, without chasing me?"

Katara

Katara watches him. "Yes" she said and laid down

Krush

The wolfdog took a second step back, this one a little more boldly. None of the cats rushed him. In fact, the one that was speaking even laid down. Cinnamon-edged ears crept up, "It was, erm, nice to meet you? ...uh, and thanks? For not, you know, eating me?" A third step was taken, and after seeing no flinching muscles or hungry eyes that might suggest an imminent attack, Krush turned and began to saunter away. A few glances were thrown over his shoulder as he went, and when he was far enough along, he outright began to run, putting as much space between him and these cats as possible.
