Roleplay- 3rd of December

Saffron smiled at Ninja

Ninja smiles back at Saffron. He's glad to see that she's doing well after recieving a potentially deadly bite from the cape cobra. It most likely was a dry bite which is great relief to know but he hasn't noticed that she's still in pain once in a while. He looks up and sees Linda. He peeps reassuring her John means no harm to their litter.

Conker rolls onto his back and giggles as the pup blindly crawls over his stomach.

Saffron watches a pup Crawl away from the rest she picked the pup up and put closer to Ninja

John took notice of Linda, peeping in greeting. He then focused back on the pup who continued to gnaw on his nose, which still didn't hurt. He chuckled as it kept tickling. Another pup had also crawled over, playfully biting on John's ear.

Ninja gently nudges the pup Saffron returned closer to its remaining 2 siblings. They appear to be the quietest of the litter. He looks over at Conker and John and chuckles. The 3 frisky pups appear to be the ones they will have to watch closely once they're old enough to emerge. They may become the most adventurous of the litter and end up getting into many perilous scrapes.

Conker giggles a bit louder and rolls on the floor back and forth. It tickled as the pup pawed and nipped at his tummy.

Linda lays down and watches the pups. They're just hours old and already getting used to outside life. They seem to be a handful too, a very active litter. It certainly felt that way when she was pregnant with them, and she can clearly see how active they are now.

Duke calls for Aliya. It's her decision if Josephine gets to stay.

The pup that was crawling all over Conker carefully slides down to the floor and begins blindly crawling towards Ninja. Ninja smiles and leans down towards the pup, touching noses with it. He chuckles as it paws and nibbles on his nose. This is perhaps the most active litter of pups he's seen. They were predicted to be so when they were still in Linda's stomach. Ninja predicts this litter will be bold when it comes to the time they'll be emerging from the burrow for the first time.

saffron yawns

As Conker rolls onto his stomach, he looks over to see Saffron yawning. Soon after she's finished, he catches it from her but doesn't feel tired. He blinks wondering that yawn was about.

Saffron yawns again

John twitched his ear which one of the pups was biting at. It paused for a second, confused for a bit, before resuming the biting. John chuckles a little at the reaction the pup had to his ear moving. The one who had been biting his nose was now attempting to climb onto his muzzle.

Ninja chuckles at the 2 pups climbing all over John. They seem so happy around him. Ninja can see that John will make the perfect role model for them.

Conker looks over at John and squeals with laughter as he sees the 2 pups crawling all over him. It looked so adorable and funny.

Linda bites her lips when she sees how much of a hassle they are already. She didn't expect to have these many pups, and taking care of all of them will be exhausting work. She looks at Ninja. What will they do when they start to leave the burrow?

Ninja looks over at Linda equeally concerned. Seeing that they're already a hassel, he worries they'll be prone to wondering off and getting lost if watch over them is shirked for even a minute when they're above ground. But he assures her with a nuzzle that nothing bad will happen to them after they emerge. After all, there are many members of the group who will take their gaurdian watch duty over them very seriously so hopefully they shouldn't have much to worry about with them getting lost of predated.

Linda cheers up and watches the newborn crawl around. One of the pups tries to feed from it's mother, but squeaks when Linda remembers Josephine is still above ground and gets up. She leaves the chamber and heads above ground again.

Ninja watches Linda leave for the burrow entrance. He assumes she's either feeling hungry again and is going to supply milk for the pups or wants to enjoy the vast beauty of the outside Kalahari world. He suddenly feels a slight tug on his paw and looks down to see the pup that had crawled over to Linda for a feed has crawled over to him for some play. He nuzzles the pup caringly and chuckes as it nibbles at one of his claws. He's unaware that Linda has become reunited with an old friend.

John had rolled onto his side, the two pups now climbing onto his hip and shoulder. He chuckles a bit, watching the two pups.

Aliya scent-marks Josephine, accepting her.

Emzio looks at Josephine, curiously.

Suri is unaware and is asleep.

Ninja lowers his head and touches noses with the pup. He chuckles as it paws and gently began to nibble on the tip of his nose.

Conker watches the 2 pups that are climbing on John with a big happy grin.

Linda watches as Josephine is accepted and smiles. She's curious as to why Josephine is here, and she bets Josephine is curious about what's happened to herself, but she'll save that for later. In the mean time she offers some bond grooming.

Duke watches them. They must know eachother too.

Aliya is also surprised to see Linda and Josephine are so close. They must be from the same mob. Or perhaps were related.

Emzio stays by the burrow, not bothered by Linda and Josephine grooming eachother. They both joimed the mob from another mob, so they were likely from the same one.

Suri awakens, but stays in the burrow.

Unaware of Linda socializing with her old friend Josephine, Ninja is enjoying his time with John and his newborn children. Ninja gently picks the pup up and rolls onto his back then places the pup on his belly. He chuckles as it crawls up on to his chest.

Conker pads over to Ninja and sits down at his side. He watches the pup crawling on Ninja's chest with an antertained grin.

Saffron yawned then walked out of the burrow and sat down

John smiled as the two pups on him continued to climb on his side, making noises. He felt a funny feeling suddenly near his stomach and saw one of the pups was attempting to suckle from him. He titled his head, seems it was almost time for them to feed again.

Saffron fell asleep
