"Because he just attracts trouble like that" Mr. Threehorn said, not one to overly try to explain a situation and he certainly didn't feel like doing so now; he knew longneck was right though.
"Well if that rainbow face and...flyer are such a target let's find them quickly so that we can put and end to these sharpteeth". He turned towards where the tree was, knowing that would be the best direction to try first.
"All the same" Grandma Longneck said, finding where most of the others had already found eachother, "We mustn't try, for Longtail and Cyrix's sake, not to be rash and give any of these sharpteeth and open opportunity to catch us off guard.

"What do you keep staring at?" Cera asked, walking up to Littlefoot as the longneck did just keep staring out of the cave like entrance and exit past where Cory's mother was keeping guard.
"I just...I don't like having to just stay here and feel so useless" Littlefoot said, "Especially if Longtail's in trouble".
"Well we can't get by two adults" Cera said, circling and getting comfortable in a section of the cave, "so best just accept it, until an opening comes or something".
"Something like Longtail coming to us?" Petrie asked, pointing up. "Huh?" Cera turned to the flyer yet soon got her answer as Longtail tumbled into the tree.
"Well good grief" Tylr circled down, noticing the young one's tumble as well. "Longtail..." he gently slapped at either side of the flyer's face to try and roust him once more.
"Oh my, is he ok?" Rea asked, the kids watched nervously, wondering the same.
"Don't know, but first let's get him lower to where the other kids are where he's not so out in the open, Tylr half carried Longtail as he flapped down to the cover where the other kids were.
