"and I get to be that someone?!" Cory quickly leapt into Cyrix's lead in and asked. Kit laughed, "You're gonna do it anyway, aren't you?" she asked. Cory nodded, "Yeah, probably".
Tyrl had been listening to this and turned back with a smile, yet as he looked forward once more he noticed Ptami up ahead apparently arguing with Cree and Pterano.
He put on speed to reach where they were ahead of the group, which was apparently the point.
Pterano sighed, "I'm telling you, if we sneak past, it'll cut atleast five...".
"Do you not see that!" Ptami exclaimed, pointing, "what do you mean sneak past, we have a duty as scouts to report just this sort of thing" as she turned she noticed Tylr coming over.
"Tylr! You're closer, go, tell Cyrix, we've got sleeping fast biters just over this ridge".
Tylr quickly back peddled the other way.
"Cyrix" he flew over and landed, "Over there, to the right, we can't go that way" he pointed exactly where he meant, "there's some, thankfully sleeping for now, fast biters; w-we're gonna have to find a different way" he said.

Topsy's mate, Carla (ooc: why not, since she'll need one) smiled a bit, "I know, he just doesn't" she sighed, "look personally I'm not as hung up on all this as Topsy is, when he first stopped your son from playing with Cera" she told the boy's mother, "I worried the kids might hurt themselves, but didn't even consider the whole longneck thing...I mean it was a bit odd, but then who cares".
"Topsy, just sees this stuff in his own mind" she returned to telling Grandpa Longneck, "and I'm afraid you have a lot to put up with, since he gets even worse with suspicions around longnecks...it goes back to some neighboring bullies when he grew up, nothing he should condemn the whole lot of you for" Carla explained.
"But...I do believe he can change" she added.
