(OOC: My group left Ducky & Diver's mom's sleeping area a post or 2 ago. They've been stealthly making their way to a cave Mim knows about, a completely different cave then wherever the other group is heading 2. )
"Not far now. There is some water in the mysterious beyond and some green food there near the water so we won't be short of food or water, at first anyway." Mim said as they rested in a spot with a lot of bushes, good for hiding from Grown ups. Mim motioned them to bend lower behind the bushes when she heard voices coming near.
--
"I thought I heard voices over here." One of the bullies said.
"Just babies, why bother with them?" Another one said.
"If they found some good green food or tree sweets we want them, instead of the babies having them." Another one said. Mim listened to them and peered through some branches and leaves of a bush at them. She had dealt with them before and if she wasn't in a hurry and wanting to get out of the Great Valley undetected she'd not mind dealing with them again, but doing so would only delay them and perhaps attract attention.
Petrie & Rhyn landed nearby in a tree. Petrie saw who it was and started to cover up a bit afraid of them. Rhyn laughed at them, seeing part of her friends hiding behind some bushes nearby. She knew these bullies would likely not be distracted by normal conversation but she had an idea of how to lead them away so her friends could get by.
"Why do you need any food? You look to fat to eat." She said.
"We're not fat." One of the bullies said in an angry voice shaking a fist at her.
"Then why do you have such big bellies? Only fatties do." She said, knowing they would want to get her and she could easily lead them away, evade them then catch up to her friends later.
"Oh yea, we'll show you." The bully said shaking his fist then running towards where Rhyn was.
"You have to catch me & fatties like you move to slow." Rhyn said and flew off in a direction, leaving the scared Petrie behind in a tree. The bullies chased after Rhyn.

Once Mim was sure they were far enough away she rose up, and Mim did likewise.
"I'm not afraid of those bullies. Not after they were bullying Diver and I gave them such a belly ache and the 4 footer a headache after a few punches and kicks." Mim said.
"Yea, I dealt with them once myself, but with no fighting really, but they would only slow us down and perhaps attract attention from others when we want to get out to investigate what is going on without anyone seeing us. Lets go." Mim said and they jogged off in the direction of the cave where Mim knew lead to the outside and she and a friend had sealed off when they had returned.
Petrie opened his eyes and saw the bullies were gone, and Rhyn too. Not having any idea where they were he looked around and saw Mim and the others and decided since he could not find Rhyn and maybe safer since the bullies were chasing her, he flew off following after Mim.
Rhyn led the Bullies off and with some tricky flying she lost them completely and flew off stealthy towards where she knew the others were heading.
