Ruby wasted no time in running inside with her siblings. “Oh, I hope no one gets hurt trying to make sure Redclaw does not hurt us” Ruby said.

Misty glanced about even as Redclaw’s roars become louder, she spotted a smaller cave off a few paces from them. She nudged Pearl. “Hey…uh Pearl” she indicated the cave, “What’ya think? Stay In the bush and not given away where we are, or try to make it to the cave that might be safer?” she asked .

“Pterano…” Cree took hold of both of his brother’s shoulders, “get a grip!”, he gave his brother a light, considering this was Cree, smack only intended to snap him back to his senses. “That overgrown fast biter (this was a joke on Redclaw’s henchmen) is just a big bully, I should know” Cree calmly went about scouting where they were.
He smirked, “You’d be utterly lost without me ya know” Cree added, enjoying getting to say that. “Ok, if I recall lay out correctly, there’s a link of caves a little ways that way, we could possibly avoid detection there until he passes by” Cree flapped up, semi-pulling Pterano along in case he needed it, “Come on Squirt, just follow me, your big brohter’s got it all figured out” Cree said, taking immense joy in getting to be ontop of something again.
“I mean” he continued as they flapped over to investigate the cave, “the Mysterious Beyond is like huge, he’s got to go somewhere else soon enough and be out of our scales, or if not, we got out of his scales” Cree shrugged.

Screech and Thud all but hopped around nearby. They would have to wait and see if Redclaw left them anything at all, then they could squabble amongst themselves for it, but no one, not even and especially his henchmen, squabbled with Redclaw!
