Roleplay- 3rd of December

Ninja takes a step forward, tempted to head above ground to see what's going on. He fears Linda could be in danger or worse... Desperate to find out, he marches for the burrow entrance, looking serious. If he sees that someone or something is attacking his beloved female, he'll kill them.

Conker looks over at the fight which is still concealed in the cloud of dust. He watches frightened and confused. He can't see clearly who's got the upper paw but hopes John, Linda and Duke are ok.

Linda coughs and paws at her eyes, blinded by the dust.

Ninja emerges to a shocking sight. He sees a huge dust cloud and several meerkat shaped silhouettes in amongst the dust appearing to be fighting. wanting to know what's going on immediately, he runs over.

John continued to thrash and buck. While this was something that could help, it was also risky. If Ghost were to let go too fast, John could take serious damage. But at this point, John was willing to take the risk. If Ghost would let go, he'd have an advantage since Duke was still hanging onto Ghost's other shoulder.

Ghost couldn't keep his grip on John anymore and had to let go, tasting blood from John's injuries. Growling, he threw Duke off, wincing from his shoulder becoming injured. Growling again, he shoved John aside and began to flee, knowing he had to get out of there before anything else could happen.

Ninja sees a male burst out from the dust cloud. He blinks confused. What the heck did he just miss? Suddenly, he gets a whiff of the dust and begins coughing and as it started getting into his eyes, he's forced to step back. He looks around realizing Duke, Linda and John are not in clear site. They must be in the large cloud of dust. He grits his teeth fraught with worry and fears one or all 3 of them are injured.

Aliya pursues Ghost for a few secounds before stopping. She was angered by the fact he would dare try to hurt her son. She snarls at him. If you ever come back, we won't give you mercy! With that, she grumbles and returns back to the group. It was one of those rare moments when Aliya would not hesitate to harm another meerkat. She loved her pups and wasn't going to let some male harm them, without putting up a fight. She looks over at Velamire once again. She didn't seem like a threat, despite her confidence. She scent marks her and accepts her into the group.

The dust cloud soon died away. John was panting softly, blood dripping from his face from Ghost's bite.

Ghost growled. He just didn't have any luck today. Sighing, he decided he'd take a break from roving for a bit to recover from his fights today. Sneaking off, he went toward the boarder of the Jumaa territory and was soon gone.

As the dust cloud cleared, Ninja blinks several times trying to focus his blurred vision caused by the dust. Once his eye sight returns to normal, he sees John bleeding from wounds on his face, Linda laying on the ground looking dazed and Duke also on the ground. Panic stricken, he sounds worried chirps and pads to each member inspecting them and wondering what just happened.

Conker rubs his eyes and coughs many times from being exposed to the dust.

Aliya looks over at John with concern.

Emzio looks around. She is relieved to see Conker is okay, but is worried to see John is wounded.

Suri stays above ground, having not heared the fighting.

John was attempting to get the blood out of his eyes. Besides the sand and dust from before, the blood also caused some stinging. The bite marks looked pretty deep, Ghost had a firm grip on him before. Being strong, he didn't show any signs of pain. But don't get him wrong, it did hurt a lot.

Duke coughs again and blinks several times, trying to get the remaining sand out. He gets up and immediately makes sure none of the pups were hurt, before assessing John's injuries.

Linda coughs again and sits up with a grunt. She's regretting deciding to get involved in the state she's in. The collision and hard hit to the ground only added to how sore she already feels, but other than that, she's fine. She paws at her eyes, also still blinded.

*Velmarie's eyes rested on John. She smiled at him, walking up to him slowly. Her eyes sparkled.*

Linda manages to clear enough sand from her eyes to see. She spots Velmarie and tilts her head. She's never seen her before.

Duke tends to John's wounds.

Saffon looks around and then smiles at Conker

*Velmarie smiled at Linda, then it occured to her that John was hurt. She went up to see what was wrong, and began wimpering.*

Kinkajou smiled at Velamarie , she looked at John and walked over she chirped welcoming him

saffron smiled and walked over to Kinkajou

Linda watches Velmarie curiously and chirps, not yet knowing that she was accepted.

Saffron lays down beside Kinkajou

*Velmarie herself didn't know if she was accepted or not...it seemed like no one said she should leave.*

Saffron got up and walked over to Velmarie

ooc- Aliya accepted Velmarie.

Ninja is relieved to see that Linda is uninjured and sits next to her. He nuzzles her lovingly then glares at her. What was she thinking charging into the fight? She isn't strong enough yet to to take part in fights and could've gotten killed. He's unaware she had tried to save Conker and Saffron from getting caught up in the fight and possibly killed by Ghost.

Conker has calmed down. He follows Saffron over to Velmarie.

Linda peeps an apology. She tells him that she was keeping Conker safe, but he ran into the dust cloud, and she went after him.

Ninja churrs and nods understanding. He accepts Linda's apology with a proud nuzzle. He's proud that she had made sure Saffron and Conker stayed safe. But was shocked to find out he had run into the dust. He's glad to see that they're safe.
