"Right." Flax nodded. "If it gets to the warren it will try to kill our rabbits and use our burrows for its nest. We have to-" she was stopped short as the stoat threw itself out of the tall grass and onto Flax's back, teeth grasping at the base of her neck. She squealed and tried to rotate in its grasp, clawing at the stoat's eyes.

Ginger laughed as well, feeling a little proud of herself for that one. It was good to try to bring more amusement in the rabbits' lives; especially since Nettle's death. The passing of the late successor had taken its toll on some of the inhabitants here, especially on her brother Spice. Since Nettle stopped running, Spice had been working harder to ensure the safety of the warren.
Spice had been out in the field on a single patrol when he heard a squeal. He stood up quickly, angling his ears in the direction of the sound. Could someone be in trouble? Is Flax-rah okay? A bit frantic, he galloped over to the source of the sound. "Flax-rah!" he shouted upon entering the scene, seeing his leader under attack from the stoat. Without thinking, he threw himself on the creature, biting onto its ear while using his front claws to scratch its face.

Buck rushed forward and pounces on the Stoat. "Get off of her"! He snarled.

With three rabbits attacking it, the stoat stopped its attack and tore itself away from the fight. It fled into the tall grass, trailing blood. Flax stood back up and shook herself. "Is everyone alright?" she asked, surveying her rescuers.
"How long do you think he'll be gone?" Nutmeg giggled. "We won't see him for a while I'm sure.

Spice relaxed back on his hind legs, panting to catch his breath. Blood dribbled from his mouth onto the ground. "Fine, I'm fine," he huffed. "Are you alright, Flax-rah? I heard a squeal and I came running." He turned to Buck. "Thanks for your help. Our chief's safety is most important above all."
Ginger flicked her ears, leaning down to nibble on some grass. She was quite proud of herself for fooling the young buck. "Who knows. That's what makes it amusing."

"I seem to be alright, just a sting on my neck is all. It will be a while yet before I join the black rabbit." She chuckled a little to break the tension. She turned to Spice and Buck in turn. "I thank both of you for your bravery. Let's go back and lick those wounds. If we follow that trail of blood there's sure to be more elil we'll run into."
"What if he actually does it though?" Nutmeg mused. Then she giggled. "Not that he will."

Spice nodded, ready to follow his chief. "All seemed quiet toward the west of here, where I was patrolling. With any luck, that stoat won't have any allies."
Ginger giggled as well. "I suppose we'll have to send him on his next trial. Perhaps something a bit more elaborate."

"I believe you're right. They tend to live alone." Flax said to Spice. "Well let's get a move on shall we?" she added and began to lead the way home, wincing a bit with each hop.
Nutmeg chuckled a bit at the thought of sending her brother on a wild goose chase again and again, until he finally caught on. If he ever would!

Buck followed though he kept a close eye on Flax. "We can take a small break if you need to rest." He said not wanting the chief to hurt herself even more.

"Very well," Spice said, following his chief back home. At Buck's comment, he also replied, "I agree. Are you sure you're alright, Flax-rah?"
Ginger nodded. "If anything, it'll at least give us a bit of a laugh." she said, chuckling as well.

(Sorry for the poof, was feeling kinda garbage-y.)
Flax nodded determinedly as she kept going. "Yes, thank you both, I'm quite alright. I shall be able to make it back at least."
(I have no more muse on Nutmeg and Ginger for the time being lol, I was thinking maybe after some time Basil takes too long to return or something.)

Sure, no problem)
Spice sighed in relief, though he knew of the small possibility that his chief could be lying about her injuries. The buck was quite riddled with worry over Flax's safety, especially since the situation with Nettle.

(Been a bit under the weather the past few days)
Having arrived back in the safety of the warren, Flax turned around to face the two Owsla. "Spice dear, tell me is that your blood? And do you have any wounds, Buck?" If either had any bleeding wounds it would be best to care of them soon.

"I should hope so. Perhaps we shouldn't see that one again. I should think he'll find somewhere else to live, if he doesn't die off." Flax's nose twitched at the jest. Next to the entrance to the Honeycomb she settled herself on her haunches. "I think I'll rest here for now. You both may do as you wish."

Spice nodded, but did not move. He had done his patrolling, and after that stoat attack, he didn't feel it right to leave his chief by herself. He knew she would probably be fine though. Flicking his head around, he spotted Ginger and Nutmeg not too far away. He flicked his ear at his sister in greeting, sighing happily at the realization that she was safe. Ginger flicked her ear back at him, obviously amused by something. She's probably up to something again, he thought.

Flax settled into the soft grass and began to silflay, pleased at the very least that no one was seriously injured by the stoat. The base of her neck stung a bit, though she was sure it wasn't too serious. There wasn't blood; it would heal in a matter of days.
Nutmeg turned and saw Spice, not too far away. "Hello Spice." she greeted him. "How have you been today?"

Spice noticed Nutmeg, and hopped over to greet the two does. "Hello Nutmeg," he replied. "To tell you the truth, things haven't been going well." Ginger had been silflaying, and stopped to look up at Spice. "What's wrong, brother?" she asked. "The chief was attacked by a stoat this morning. Nasty creature it was, I was patrolling the west of the hill when I heard the noise. Flax-rah seems to be alright though; just hope there aren't any more of them about." At this news, worry began to set in Ginger's dark eyes.

"Oh my!" Nutmeg exclaimed, brown eyes widening. She seemed to almost shrink in her nervousness. "There's just too many elil about; makes it dangerous to stray too far from the burrows..." Her squeaky voice trailed away. Then she stood upright again and distractedly groomed a ginger-splotched ear. At least Flax-rah is okay."

(Taiyou if you can tweak your characters a little bit I'll add you. I encourage you to be creative but your 2 bucks' physical descriptions are a little over the top for rabbits. I can live with the names even if they don't quite fit in.)
(Another thing has kinda been brought to my attention, and that is the fact that not everyone can be a member of the Owsla. In fact, there should be fewer members of the Owsla compared to the rest of the rabbits. I will allow the current Owsla members for now, but I will be sure to add a rule that limits the number of Owsla rabbits.
While I'm at it, I should also state that if things pick up in the rp and we get more members which I doubt it tbh I will expect everyone to check the news often. Anyway that's all)

"Yes," Spice murmured. "The chief's safety is most important." This was the code that he lived by, being a part of the Owsla. Ginger looked visibly worried, scratching her ear as well. There may have even been a little bit of guilt in her eyes. "Well if there are elil about, surely we can listen out for them and run away right quick, yea? If we're not stupid that is."

Nutmeg noticed Ginger's expression and her head drooped, staring at her paws. Basil was out there now, what if something would happen to him? All distracted, looking for coltsfoot. It would be their fault, wouldn't it? "Yeah of course, just run away! It's what we do. Simple!" she tried to hide her discomfort.
