Felltree Marsh Im trying to help

feel free to skip & pp bobcat as needed. <3

bobcat watches, perhaps a bit taken aback, as masquerade shifts between him and the borderline, pressing close and nosing him. bobcat had been content to assume that she wasn't overly fond of him, simply because she refused to take him exploring ( an entirely unfair assumption ). this confuses him but he does not focus upon it for long, trying to curb the instinctual needling to hunt, the image of the pale, injured girl's back turned to them haunting him.

but he was too young, reminded of this by masquerade's words of caution: that they should wait for adults.

if only he were older!

but, this time, he does not attempt to move 'round her or argue in his nonverbal way. though the fleeing perpetrator was prey as far as bobcat cared to see it she was also dangerous. she had killed a full grown adult, after all.

it is not long, though, before his father and two other adults race by, race after her. bobcat waits beside masquerade, waiting for instruction.
