Yes, Rue felt that. Absolutely, she felt it. She had been feeling it for what must have been over a week now-- tremors quaking up from deep beneath the ground's surface, some ephimeral and others more enduring and ominous. To Rue, it felt as if some gigantic, burrowing monster had awoken from hibernation and was attempting to free itself from its underground den.

The unusual occurrences were all the more reason to locate Fennec, and quickly. Although Rue was fairly certain that gigantic, underground monsters were not real, she knew that opportunistic, child-stealing monsters were undeniably existant and often took advantage of chaotic times. "Yeah--" Rue answered Towhee. She began to say something that would direct attention back to the missing recruit, but she was interrupted by a violent lurch in from ground beneath their feet. 

As Towhee fell forward, Rue was thrown backward. She landed hard on her tailbone and emitted a sharp yelp as well. She crouched and tucked her head, riding out the tremors until they passed. Rye spoke first, and Rue lifted her gaze to the others. Rue shook her head at Rye's question, the base of her spine smarting as she pulled herself shakily to her feet. She waited to ascertain that Towhee way okay before she spoke again. 

"I think we need do a head count," she said finally, voice small. A pack meeting would help them determine who was here and safe and who was missing or injured. Maybe someone would know what these quakes were and whether they would keep getting worse. And maybe someone knew something about the missing recruit-- like his name, for starters.
