Dragoncrest Cliffs We've got nothing but time.

Fading here, hope you don't mind! Trying to finish up old threads to make room for new ones.  :D

There is a moment of silence as the two boys stare at one another, each willing their companion to take the first step into the open. Dacio is releaved when Tux bravely moves out, though he absolutely did not want to be left behind alone! He followed the other Goufa closely, dark hackles prickling nervously as he felt the owl's fierce gaze follow them across the small clearing.

With a rough shove, the ashen youngster is forced into the shelter of the foliage and he quickly turns to peer through the leaves at the watchful bird in the trees. "You think he's hunger?" Dacio asked, seeking to make eye contact with Tux briefly before furrowing his brow to glower up at the perched beast.

The anxious cubs lingered there quietly, watching and waiting, until the owl turned his proud head away and took flight to hunt elsewhere in the forest. Dacio seized this opportunity to stride out from the safety of their shelter, huffing a warning growl in the reatreating bird's direction in his feigned boldness - because there was no way it'd come back now that it had decided to leave, right?
