"I don't know, but I hope they found they were looking for. I would hate for them to leave just to starve anyway..," Sayan said with concern. He hated that they had to go and hoped it wasn't all for nothing.

Soon Sozen arrived at Sholeh's tree. "Greetings Sholeh! I've got good news to tell you!"

"Oh, hello Sozen." Sholeh said, always speaking kind to him. She didn't even noticed Shi until Warren gave a greeting too.
"Hey Monsieur Sozen. And the Mademoiselle Shilise." he said respectfully with a bow, with Sholeh giving a scowl with so much politeness, especially towards Shilise, whom she didn't like that much.

Shi smiled and said "hello you must be Warren(to be frank she hasn't met Warren till just now) it's a pleasure to meet you. this is the first time i've met a vultcher.(curse my spelling)"

"Oh, congratulations." Warren said kindly, with Sholeh remaining completely silent. She scratched her head several times, and moved her eyebrows many times without noticing. She was a very hard mongoose to surprise, but that really did the trick. But not wanting that to make an awkward situation, she simply proceeded to answer his question.
"Well, I have a hollow compartment in my tree where I have stored food. And... just look." she said, showing him the fence she was building with the help of Warren.
"Just precautions." she immediately said, in case Sozen wondered.

Sholeh realized Sozen didn't understand what she meant, so she proceeded to tell him gently.
"No, it's not about the stealing. It's to prevent a certain someone to become the food, especially since some striped creature seems to be going on a rampage at night" she explained, very sure that Sozen knew what she meant.

Sayan gently caught the flower as it blew by. "Here.. I believe you forgot this earlier.," he gently said placing the rose right behind the tiger's ear.

Shi smiled nodding to Warrin in silent thanks. She listened to Sheloh and understood everything. "yea if it wasn't for Sozen I would've got turned into cat food." shuddering at the thought of it.

Shi smiled nodding to Warrin in silent thanks. She listened to Sheloh and understood everything. "yea if it wasn't for Sozen I would've got turned into cat food." shuddering at the thought of it.

Sholeh smiled in satisfaction, glad that both birds understood her point.
"Well then, then that means you know why this fence needs to exist." she said, still prompting Warren to continue working on it.
"Warren doesn't need to worry though. He just needs to eat whatever dies in the drought..." Sholeh said, humiliating the vulture. He knew what she meant, but he would be ever consume somebody he use to know, not to mention that he wasn't glad at his specie's behavior.

Rose smiled and she kissed Sayan. "You've always been there for me Sayan. I will always love you."

"And I love you-- always.," Sayan kissing Rose. He knew the feelings were there since the moment he saw the tiger, even if it took a drought for them to finally admit it.

Sozen noded in agreement. "This drought is going to be the death of us all if it continues."

"Heh, I don't know what's the problem. You guys are flyers. You can just fly away whenever you want." Sholeh pointed out, not understanding why the new couple just didn't migrated like the orcas did.
"The orcas already left to find food. And a good thing too. It's land animals like Sybil and the others that need to worry. But not us mongooses though. We are survivors... in any habitat, in any conditions." Sholeh said, looking very proud of her speech. She had already survived banishment when she was forced to live in the Outback due to Sybil's arrival, so she was sure she could take on a drought. She only needed to worry about Rose and the other meat eaters around, but that's why she was building a fence in the first place.

Sholeh just sighed in disappointment, but she was just going to mind her own business if the others did.
"Well now, don't let me get in the way of your thinking." she said, sounding unconcerned. Then she said she thing that she just needed to get off your chest.
"You know, you guys picked a very peculiar time to get together. I heard that Rose and that leopard what's-his-name are also at it too." Sholeh expressed, finding it ridiculous how so many animals were getting the spring fever when there were difficult times to come.

Sholeh just rolled her eyes, finding it pathetic, yet didn't express it.
"Well, whatever you say." she then looked at the sun.
"Now then, night is just a few minutes away. I think I'm going to sleep early today." she then said, returning to her tree. The truth was that she was still very active, but since she didn't want to see all that mushy stuff, plus she didn't want to roam at night with Rose being free now.

Warren could only see her leave to her tree, but she didn't give an order whether he should stop or not, so he continued on with what little daylight remained, hoping to impress her with his progress.

Shilise was upset "wait a minute. Now what you just said about Warrien was horrible! That is no way to treat anyone! And Sozen's right we do have family here! But i will not be associated with someone as crule as you Sheloh. I'm leaving and i wouldn't be suprized if Warren left you to rot Sheloh! Come on Sozen, lets get out of here."

Sholeh pretended she didn't hear her, so she just lay down, hoping she had a good night without any interruption or more mushy stuff talk.

"Now Mademoiselle Shilise, don't be mean. Madam Sholeh may be a little rough around the edges, but she has her heart..." Warren said, actually defending her. Sholeh was quite angry that he made her feel like she needed a defense, but she decided to just scold him in the morning.

Light was getting more scarce with the minute, but Warren took advantage of it all. Sholeh's tree wasn't very big, so the fence wasn't taking too long, without any interruptions, it could be finished by tomorrow.

Sayan enjoyed every last moment of the remaining sunlight, but the sunset soon turned into darkness. "You're right. Let's go's home.," he said with a smile.

Sayan nodded, keeping close to Rose. He had hoped their newfound love would curve the tiger's instincts and was hoping to avoid his solution.

As she flew off she was crying silently "how could anyone be so crule?"

"that doesn't give her the right to humiliate Warren like that." said Shi crying.

Even though Sholeh was still active, it didn't take her long to go to sleep after all the soft comfortable leaves she placed in her tree. She was snoozing quite peacefully, trusting that Warren had made a very sturdy fence.

Sybil also slept well that night, trusting that everything will be alright, drought and all. She and her friends had faced many dangers in their lives, yet always manage to remain strong in the end. They survived human encounters, faced dingoes and won a war against Komodo dragons and sharks. She was very confident a drought was just another test in their lives that they will survive.

Soon the cobra reached the beach he went over to Crocux "hi Crocux wake up." he woke up "hi dad. What's up?" "sybil wants to talk to you. come on and be quiet she might be sleeping." the croc nodded and fallowed the cobra being quiet.

Sybil remained snoozing peacefully on her small yet cozy tree cavity, without a care in the world. She didn't expected to be disturbed that night, especially since she believed her meeting with Crocux was going to be arranged tomorrow.

Once they got to Sybils tree the cobra wispered "get some sleep we'll talk in the morning." the croc nodded and rolled over and went to sleep. Guardian quietly slithered up next to Sybil being carful not to get to close to Sybil as to not wake her up and fell to sleep feeling safe for the second time in a row.

Guardian succeeded, since Sybil didn't feel a thing. She continued sleeping soundly and without moving an inch, with her subconscious hoping that tomorrow was going to be a normal day despite the approaching drought.

Sayan remained awake for a little while-- just in case Rose's instincts took over again. As he laid down, he wrapped his tail around the tiger hoping to feel the slightest movement.

Sayan tightened his grip around the tiger and tried to make Rose as comfortable as possible. 'There there.. I'm here.. it's only a dream..,' he gently soothed.

It was mow midnight, and Sybil was still asleep. In one movement, she rolled around, getting on top of Guardian. Not even feeling his scaly skin was enough to wake her up. It was a cold night, colder than any others to be precise. It felt like the cold of a desert. Perhaps a sign that the drought was inevitably going to hit soon...

(Dangit ... I get caught up by something depressing for one night and distract myself from it for another ... I was going to have Avius talk to Sybil before she went to sleep. Any ideas?)

Ooc: just wait till morning after she's done talking with Crocux.

Guardian didn't wake up when Sybil rolled on top of him if anything he didn't even notice. He enjoyed her company and the wormth she provided.

With Rose calming down, Sayan continued to embrace the tiger and soon went to sleep himself.

OOC: He just could have woken her up. No big deal.

It was now two hours past midnight, and Sybil opened her eyes for a brief moment. Still not noticing the snake below her, she raised one of her ears towards the cavity of her tree, listening to any abnormal noise if there was any. If Rose was on rampage, she was sure she could caught up a sound...

Ooc: naw it's cool.

All was quiet. Crocux snord quietly, which is very rare. And Jack was working hard with whirlpool to take care of the sevral at hunted island. Shi soon got back to Sozen's cave still very angry at how Sheloh treated Warren.

Sybil heard a rumbling sound, but it didn't sound like a tiger's growl in her opinion. It was a sound she never heard nonetheless, so with some effort, she got up (still not noticing her surprise houseguest), and showed her head from her tree trunk cavity. And very soon, she saw the source of the strange sound. It was Crocux, whose long body could be seen from up there. It was quite an intimidating sight. But what was he doing in front if her own tree? Sybil suspected that Guardian probably gave him her message as soon as she told him, so Sybil was going to make sure she would talk to him first thing in the morning. It did made her very uncomfortable though, having such a huge crocodile below her. She really wanted to trust him, but after his threat, not to mention that crocodiles were one of the natural predators of her species, the effort was going to be challenging.

Nothing but the peaceful rumbling snore of the sleeping Crocux was heard from the woods, and Sybil was sure that if Rose attacked again, like Stripes, that individual will come to her. But nothing happened, which meant that Sayan was doing a good job keeping her at bay. So determined to resume her peaceful night, with Crocux down and all, Sybil fell asleep right there, with her head still sticking out of the cavity.
