Ruby seriously thought about what Deon said, “Well…the Great Valley does sound like a safe place for everyone” she said, “but unless everyone could go, I do not think I would want to leave everyone behind to go by myself” she answered. She’d always worry about those of her friends and family left here, she knew.
Misy turned in time to hear Myra’s question and had a pretty sensible answer for a young one. “I am much more interested in staying quiet so Reclaw doesn’t find us” she answered, and sat on the floor in almost worry to do just that.
She listened as, while others brought up the point of being quiet, and as they tried to agree on toss the seed. It did look fun, but she wasn’t sure yet, so she still stayed where she was, sitting with her knees drawn up to her.
Chomper’s statement was most shocking. “But…sharp teeth don’t get along” she said, “well except for you and some of your friends, and even then, how are we gonna get lots of flatteeth to even trust lots of sharp teeth?” she asked.
“It works fine for us, but I don’t know if we can do something like that for lots of dinosaurs” Misty shook her head.
“and there could be other friends who are friends and both sharp teeth and flateeth like us and if we unite with them that would be a bigger group of us working together” Ruby backed up Chomper’s thought.
Misty sighed and leaned her head against the cave wall, apparently she was alone in her thoughts. “But who’s gonna be the brave soul to ask around about such a thing?” she wondered aloud.

OOC: I was thinking Cree and Pterano should meet a crusty old guy in the caves and…well that thought took off a bit…
“Yeah” Cree said, holding back the thought of for now. He scanned the cave once more and found a voice out of the darkness interrupted him.
“W-who goes there…” a hesitant voice said, and so Cree thought it might not be a sharp tooth. In fact a swimmer, looking very worse for the wear but surviving, stepped out of the dark and Cree thought she looked familiar from one day or something…yes
He recognized her as one of the swimmers who had been with the Valley herd when he and his other siblings, Pterano included, had found them. Then Cree looked stunned as he recognized that this swimmer was one of the one’s who had, he heard, been with the group Pterano lead out and lost to a fast biter’s attack…only…weren’t they all dead? This swimmer’s sister, he’d heard, fell off a cliff during the attack even.
The swimmer seemed to look stunned as she noticed both Cree and, more important, Pterano, as well. “Oh…” she said, “oh it’s a good thing Toot’s not in this cave too and doesn’t know you’re here”. Toot had been a one horn also with the group.
“He’s been watching out for me and Ridge (a spiketail) since you…well since the accident where…you left and so probably didn’t find out about us three survived I think”. Oddly, the swimmer’s voice wasn’t accusing at all, just hesitant.
“We’re hiding in different caves now, though, just by accident” the swimmer went on. She chuckled lightly, “I guess…that’s real good for you” she told Pterano…then wondered if maybe she shouldn’t have said that.

Screech and Thud wasted no time in rushing forward to squabble and push at each other in getting at pieces of the meat. In the end they settled it like they always did, squabbling so much one would wonder if they hated each other, but each letting the other get a share.
