"Well... I am sure that, if any elil finds us, then Mayberry will fight it and defeat it or at lest she will die trying." Thyme said and then he looked in the eyes of Mayberry "At this moment, I don't know if wouldn't want to see the latter happening." he added maliciously. He was trying to avoid Thistle and attack Mayberry, but Neltita and Basil joined Chieff Rabbit in effort to stop fighting.
"Knock it off, both of you!" Neltita said firmly "We are in the woods, elils may staling us right now and you start a duel. And for what?! You want to fight just to prove, if does are superior or not. This is utter nonsense!"
"I have to agree with Thistle-rah and Neltita. This is not the right time, nor a good reason to fight." Basil chimed in "Besides, even though superiority of does or bucks may be open to some debate, there is no question that hares are the most superior of all longears."
Every rabbit stared at him.
"That was a joke, you know. To relieve the tension."
"Riiiiight." Thyme said, before turing to Thisle "You are probably right, Thistle-rah, but I still want to repay Mayberry in kind for injuring me, so step..." He didn't finish, as someone else thumped the ground, but not as a warning of coming elils. It was rather a signal to get attention. Thyme, Neltita and Basil turned to see the rabbit, who thumped. A few hops from them, a single brown-furred doe was sitting and observing them.
She was not part of their group...
