Roleplay- 25th of November

Ninja narrows his eyes at Kinkajou. She had already once tried to get inbetween him and Linda so he won't allow it to happen again and now isn't the time to make things worse for both of them. He barks sharply demanding her to stay out of this. Having devoted a strong loyalty to Linda he wants to still be her shoulder to lean on even if she's upset with him for still being attracted to Iblis. He heads into the burrow ignoring Kinkajou as he does.

Linda sighs. What if Bravo was right about Ninja?

Ninja slowly crawls through the burrow tunnel. He's not looking forward to the reaction he could get when Linda sees him. He swallows his expectations and continues further into the tunnel.

Linda huffs, feeling depressed and alone.

Ninja rounds a bend and spots half of Linda. He quickly pulls back too nervous to approach her at moment.

Linda whimpers again. She's unaware that Ninja is just outside the chamber.

Iblis doesn't know the trouble she's caused.

Ponda whimpers, he's too young to be above this long.

Ninja cautiously peers around the bend. He tries to speak but his throat goes dry. He's too devestated about the fact that he possibly broke his lady's heart.

Linda lifts her head up, deciding she's been alone long enough. She spots Ninja at the entrance and stares at him with a spark of hope. Does he still love her?

Ninja jumps back startled as Linda sees him. He retreats behind the bend and cringes expecting to get a beating but realizes he isn't. He peers around the bend at first staring back blankly at Linda then a charming smile spreads across his face. He still loves her dearly and nothing will change that not even Iblis. He pads over to her and nuzzles her lovingly.

Linda smiles. He does still love her! She nuzzles Ninja lovingly and peeps, asking him to promise to stay with her.

However happy things might happen to be... Iblis is still there. However, she waits for acceptance.

Ponda squealed, calling for mom. He was ignored. He might perish in the heat... He starts calling for anyone who will answer.

Ninja grooms Linda lovingly promising her that he will be with her for ever.

Conker hears Ponda's distress calls and bounds over to comfort him.

Ponda chrred and turned towards Conker.

ooc: He's only 18 days, he should be below ground... Unfortunately Iblis is a bad mom.

ooc: Ah ok. Ninja doesn't know that she's a bad mom yet but I think he may find out eventually after Iblis joins.

Conker looks Ponda over realizing he's smaller than him. He's ignorant to the fact that he should be below ground. Conker wraps his front limbs around him hoping to calm and comfort him.

Duke hears Ponda's distress calls and comes over. He makes sure Iblis is okay with it and picks up Ponda to bring him inside. He's unaware that it's Ninja's pup.

Linda smiles and gets cheered up again. She's sorry she ever doubted him.

Ninja smiles at Linda understanding. He would've felt the same if a male from her past had returned to try to tempt her back to be with him.

Conker follows Duke into the burrow. He wants to make sure Ponda is ok.

Linda smiles back. She doesn't have any old flames. There were some unrelated males that were attracted to her in her birth mob, but she didn't feel the same.

Duke sets Ponda down in one of the main chambers. He'll watch over the young pup for the moment.

Conker decides to stay with Duke to look over Ponda. He lays down, leaning against him to help comfort him.

Ninja suddenly remembers. The first day he had appeared in this research area , he had run into Karma at the Tiny Kats mob before he had encountered Iblis. She was another one of his old flames but he had never succeeded in mating with her let alone get to know her. She already had a mate, Luigi, but before that, she was a hard to get female. An attraction never formed between him and Karma they just aren't right for each other. They had both migrated here from another research area and were both apart of rival groups. They are destined to continue to stay rivals. Ninja snorts as he thinks of Karma. She's nothing to him but a rival.

Linda forgets the past and snuggles up to Ninja. She'll make sure Iblis doesn't try to get between them. She grunts as she feels another strong kick and looks at her belly with a smile.

Duke snuggles up to Ponda to comfort him.

Ninja wraps his front limbs around Linda and rests his head against her shoulder. He sighs in content. Being around Linda makes him feel happy but he feels a different emotion around Iblis. It isn't the same happily at ease he feels around Linda. He can't explain it but when he's around Iblis he scenses a kind of dark vibe. He catches a glimpse of the pup's kick and smiles.

Conker looks at Ponda hoping he's ok.

Linda churrs in content. Once again, her mood has changed quickly, which is typical for a female late in pregnancy. She promises she'll be back to her normal self once the pups are born.

Seeing Linda go through different changes in mood swings during her pregnancy has Ninja feeling unsure of what mood to expect her to be in every hour. He understands it's because her hormones are running high but he just hopes the aggressive ones won't be directed at him. He'll be more relaxed when Linda is back to her old self after giving birth.

Aliya goes below ground to make sure Ponda's okay.

Emzio looks around confused.

Suri is asleep.

Conker instinctively grooms Ponda, hoping it'll help to calm his distress.
