"well now, I see why they want it" Chica observed, "but they still have no right to take it over without permission" she growled slowly at the end. She seemed to be reeling to the humans that had taken over her territory

Mambo came down after leaving them waiting for a while. "Didn't we just talk? Oh never mind that. Look at that Sybil. We finally found ourselves our own headquarters. It even has various holes for us to sleep in." Mambo happily explained, looking up. Sybil then looked worried at Yodel, who seemed as if he was gonna explode.

"Mambo, do you know this is Yodel's tree?" she asked, with Mambo nodding. So he did take the tree without permission? That was cold. Sybil wasn't exactly fond of Yodel, but like Chica, she didn't found it fair either. "You see? He did it on purpose! You there! Move your stupid New Zealand vultures and give me back MY tree!" Yodel demanded in a very irritated voice, but Mambo only gave a grin.

"Is he serious? Look at this tree. It's way too big for someone so puny. Look around you warbler. There are tons pf tree in this forest." the kea pointed out in his usual hippie voice. Yodel was infuriated even more. looking maliciously at Sybil. He really wanted his tree back. But the civet knew that was going to be hard. She didn't know what to do. Now she really needed support...

"I think his is a little too far mambo" Chica said. She slightly stepped forward, she was on Sybil and yodel's side.

"Oh believe me, we tried to settle into different trees, but when we found this tree, well, it was the perfect option. Every one of us fits there, and we can stay near each other. We're family after all." Mambo explained, but Yodel still didn't accept it. What Mambo did was wrong, but Sybil felt like he was right in the sense that Yodel was too small for such a big tree.

"Come on Yodel. Don't be such a bitter hermit. If you really want your tree, you can still live in it. Just with company, that's all." Mambo then commented, but Yodel stubbornly refused. He wanted the big tree all by himself, as it has always been...

Voracivenom chuckled at the eagle's words, but his merriment was soon drowned out by a shriek of rage. His jovial mood swiftly turned into worry, and then into confusion when both Skaliscin and Speckles glanced at each other and said "Yodel" in union.
"What? Who?"
The two wore the same scowl.
"That obnoxious, idiotic warbler who always tries to find something to complain about," the velvet worm replied venomously.
Skaliscin nodded in agreement, her pupils narrowing at the mention of the irksome avian.

"He kind of has a point Yodel. The tree is a little big for just one." Rose said to Yodel. She turned to Mambo. "But Mambo you should of asked before you took his tree. It wasn't right at all." Rose said. "Now can we both come to an agreement that both of you can live with? Or am I going to have to climb up there and get you guys out and help you find another tree?" Rose said.

"I see now who's the head of this little group." Mambo sarcastically said, referring to Rose. "But come on, you can see at first glance that this warbler is as bitter as they get. Why waste out time asking permission?" he then explained.

"Well at leas you got that right. Listen here you hippie kea! This here tree is MY property, so you and your metal chewing pests must leave at one!" after saying this, Yodel immediately turned to Sybil. "You stupid civet, just because you helped us once, you think you can control the place! Having invited these idiots here and do whatever they please. Talk about advantage. I swear I will never understand why the orcas and the other birds always listen to you!" Yodel yelled, giving a quick glare at Rose for her previous comment and then looking at Sybil again...

The civet was having enough. The shaking in her body showed that she was trying to hold up the anger and necessity of giving Yodel the spank of his life...

"how how would you feel if your property has been taken away from you?" Chica asked mambo.

"Alright, I admit that I was a little unfair in that sense. I should have asked permission even if I already knew the answer." Mambo admitted, with his usual carefree attitude. "Let's start again, shall we?" he then sighed. "Mister Yodel, can we please use your tree as our home also?" he asked kindly.

"Wow, I can't believe how dense you are. Didn't you just heard me? I want all of you OUT!" Yodel screamed, with a much more irritated voice than before. Sybil couldn't stand it any longer.

"THAT'S IT! Yodel, you selfish brute! Look at the size of that tree! I know it was wrong of Mambo to settle in without your permission, but please learn to share. I am begging you Yodel. Please leave that egocentric attitude behind and learn to share." Sybil said, calming her voice with every word. She was almost bowing to the warbler. She was tired of the constant fighting...

"well done you two" Chica said, looking at Sybil and rose in a bit of amusement. "I agree with Rose, sharing is the best idea, but I'm happy you asked permission mambo."

Yodel was calmer, but still stubborn. He knew he was fighting a war impossible to emerge victorious. He had to agree either way, but only on one condition; "Alright, so I guess I don't have any choice. But know this kea; my tree is quiet and pleasant, so I want your band of sheer mischief to keep it DOWN. If you are going to steer up trouble, then not in MY tree. Do it somewhere else." He imposed, knowing how noisy that bunch was. After all, he did travel with them.

Mambo nodded, agreeing with the terms. "Ok, sounds fair. I will let my comrades know the condition. See? No harm done. No point in getting frustrated and tense. Well, everyone, see you later. Better make a meeting on this one. Stay cool." he said looking at everyone, and winking when looking at Rose. And as usual, he flew off and disappeared into the foliage of the tree upward...

OOC: I forgot that Skaliscin already left the group in one post. I'ma edit it right now...


When the distant argument escalated, it echoed to the small group. Skaliscin and Speckles looked at each other again, concerned.
"We probably should help s-s-settle things-s-s out," Skaliscin muttered, seeming frustrated and irritated just by hearing the debate from afar.
Speckles gave a grim nod, and the two darted off into the brush, leaving a dumb-struck, male centipede-eater behind.
"Uh, I guess we should follow them?" he asked Royal and Jaerl, uncertain.

Royal and Jaerl look at one another and shake their head.

"I think its already been dealt with. We can return to doing whatever we wish now."

Sybil sighed in relief. She was glad all that tornado of argues was over. "Well then, I think we better leave. I don't like this place... plus... I need to check on that new snake that arrived here." she commented, not showing any hints that she noticed Mambo's action towards Rose. She was too distracted worrying about other things...

"I don't recommend that. Yodel seemed pretty upset when you said those stuff, and he really hates it when others stay." Sybil recommended, knowing the passive-aggressive encounters she had with him when she stayed in his territory for too long...

"I will come with you Sybil, haven't met the snake yet" Chica said. "and rose, you still might want to be careful, but I trust you"

Sybil didn't like the idea. She knew Yodel wouldn't mess with a tiger, even though she was still a cub, but she knew that every time he was upset, he would come to her complaining, giving her as usual, a hard time. "Well alright then. Jut try not to be seen by Yodel. You know what a whiner he can be." the civet warned.

"So let's go Chica. Let's investigate that new guest. Oh, and along the way, let me know if you see Jaerl and Royal. Haven't seen them in a while. I hope Jaerl hasn't think of going back to the Outback again." she said with a shudder. She still remembered to well how near the falcon was to death because of that stupidity.

"I'm sure he learned his lesson Sybil" Chica convinced, and waved rose goodbye with a swing of her tail.

"Hey, I've been with him for like a year and he's still the same. Don't bet on that." Sybil explained, having all that time trying to change that poisoned attitude of his for quite a while.

"Well, knowing Skalisicn, things can escalate really high when she gets involved, " Voracivenom added, glancing back at where the two disappeared with ebbing concern. "As for Speckles, I can tell that he can't handle much excitement without exploding, one way or another."

"I was talking about jaerl," Chica said. Even Chica could remember the day when the falcon almost committed suicide by just lying there and getting attacked by coyotes

"Oh, right. Sorry. It's just that Yodel got me so upset that I thought you were talking about him."Sybil explained, a little embarrassed about the little misunderstanding.

"Well, I do hope he learned his lesson too. After all, there is no reason to be negative and sad, no, not in my Haven. I am sorry I can't make it any safer though. The Outback is so dangerous; we are lucky that most of the creatures living there won't get in here." she then commented, remembering the few times she entered that dreadful place when she arrived to the Island.

Just as Sybil and Chica left, Skaliscin and Speckles arrived.
"That's a big tree," Speckles commented.
"Sure. Every tree mus-s-st be big, to you," Skaliscin replied cheekily.
Speckles gave the serpent a feigned glare. In the tree, the cackling and squawking of the keas was heard. The two silently exchanged glances. There was no doubt that the hullabaloo involved those mischievous mountain-parrots.
"Hey, I think I see someone over there," the velvet worm declared, pointing a miniscule claw at an orange patch of fur. It was nestled under a smaller tree close by.
"Looks-s-s like Ros-s-se," the serpent added.
Speckles irritatedly muttered something about bad eyesight.

Sybil headed to where Jaerl and Royal use to hang, but she didn't see them anywhere. She tried not to worry though. If the truce Royal made with the mongooses was real, then there was nothing to fear anymore... right? No matter the case, she was doubtful. Sybil knew how dangerous and treacherous the mongooses were, and she thought it was only a matter of time before they break the pact...

"hey, you know... Let's just hope the mongooses don't attack the keas" Chica said, remembering the mongooses. They haven't caused trouble for some time now, and felt like they never appeared in the haven once

Now that was peculiar. Sybil thinking about the mongooses right now and Chica throws a commentary about them. "According to Royal, he formed a pact between the mongooses after he killed one. I am not sure though... I tried to make good with the mongooses myself a long time ago and it was a disaster." Sybil explained to the wolf, still believing that the peace wasn't going to last...

Skaliscin wordlessly slithered closer to where Rose laid, Speckles close behind.
"It looks like she's sleeping," the velvet worm commented.
The serpent paused, putting thought into it. She then shrugged(sort of) and nudged the slumbering tiger with her snout. Speckles groaned at her rude behavior.

"So... now what?" Voracivenom spoke, trying to break the awkward silence. His eyes darted between the brush and the two birds of prey. He was obviously nervous, for some reason.

Royal and Jaerl fly down beside Chica and Sybil.

"Hello Sybil and Chica. Is there something that you needed," Jaerl asks.

"Aah! Don't do that!" Sybil yelled, startled. She was still getting use to their sudden appearances.

Jaerl wraps a wing around Sybil.

"Sorry about that Sybil we'll warn you before we fly down next time."

That wasn't so surprising. Jaerl's display of kindness was something that the civet was already use to. "Where have you two been? Haven't seen you in a while. I hope the keas didn't make a mess of your place." Sybil said with some concern...

Royal smiles and answers.

"I've been spending so quality time alone with my son. We have been fishing together, flying through the sky and just watching the ocean waves. As for our home it remains untouched."

Voracivenom jumped when he realized that Royal and Jaerl had left. He felt... awkward. Quickly, he darted into the bushes, chasing after them(or, trying to).

"and Draco is still keeping an eye on them," Chica mumbled. She looked at the birds of prey that have suddenly appeared before Sybil and her.

Sybil almost forgot that Draco lived there. If he was keeping an eye on them, then there was nothing to worry about, at least she hoped. Mongooses were extremely stealthy, so who knew what were they planning right behind Draco's back?

"What happened over here?" Skaliscin questioned straight-forwardly.
Speckles lifted his head over the serpent's lengthy body, mouthing the word "sorry".

After a while of deep thought, Sybil decided to head for her tree and get a rest. That was one long day, and she felt like she missed sleep. "Well Chica, I hope you had fun riding the orcas. Sorry to leave you guys like this, but I am very tired. Hope Yodel and the keas don't give any more trouble." the civet said, before retiring and heading to the comfy of her dear tree...

"so long Sybil" Chica said, before heading back the same direction they came from

"Give us-s-s the details-s-s," Skaliscin demanded.
Speckles scowled at the ground, irritated and embarrassed by the serpent's rude attitude.

--

Right in front of Sybil, before she left the group, the male centipede-eater emerged from the foliage. As soon as he made eye contact, he jumped(in a way).
"Sorry! I didn't- I di- I didn't see you there!" Voracivenom stammered, shaken.

"Oh, it's you." Sybil said with a little indifference, though trying to hide it. She still didn't trust this new snake. In fact, she was planning on spying on him after her nap...
