Redhawk Caldera Back at base, bugs in the software

Ferret might have been having a field day, but Gannet was completely overstimulated by the cyclone of insects that randomly overtook the rendezvous.  He'd been enjoying gnawing on a particularly wonderful stick when the first of them came, and as the rest followed, he sat up and stared.  They were EVERYWHERE.

He couldn't even follow, though he tried to watch all at one for a moment or two.  In the end he just ended up focusing on one particular one in front of him, which just happened to land and crawl a bit.  Bringing a paw forward (and ignoring the other bugs for the moment), he tapped it..... only to have it fly into his face a second later.

Letting out a small noise of surprise, he scrambled backwards, only to meet a wall of it's bretherin and feel their wings beat at his pelt.  Ok.  Nope.  This was done.  Seeking the nearest available adult (ie for these purposes Finley) he slunk beneath her as best he could, ears flattened against the offending army of crawlies.
