it's not a question about trust -- open, meeting/discussion
#1
  [font=trebuchet ms]The moonlight slipped silently through the cracks in the wall, flooding the ruins' innards with a soft glow.

  As her horns knocked against the doorway to the entry room for what had to be the fifth time that day, Seija once again found herself cursing her canine form. While her night vision was still far and away better than a human's would be, so she wasn't completely in the dark (a pun that made her roleplayer slowly get up and walk out of the room in shame), it still couldn't compare to that of a cat's. At the very least, both of her traveling companions were felines, so she wasn't in a blind-leading-the-blind scenario. With a sigh, the creature slowly walked through the entrance, careful not to knock into the sides again.

  Stopping in front of the stores of food and herbs that they'd begun to stockpile, she glanced towards the doorway, waiting for the others to catch up. Now that they had some idea of the general layout of the land, it was about time they started talking about what they were going to do for the foreseeable future. The three of them could make do for now, with the relative quietness of the region, but once fur and feathers started flying- as they always did- they would need to be prepared to defend themselves, and others as well. The thought of Pinklemonade and Hydrus (especially Hydrus) being in battle was terrifying, but it was probably a reality she'd have to face sooner or later.

  After waiting for the two to arrive, she said softly, "I admit I didn't really plan this out very well, but I think we can make it work. First thing, we all need to stick together for as long as it's just the three of us. I won't have one of us wandering off and getting lost. Understood?" What was next... oh, right. Clearing her throat, she continued, "Second thing, we all need to be trained in basic combat skills, in case we get ambushed or something. In the meantime, we need to look out for anyone who might want to help us. Anyone's welcome, but we have to stay on our guard." Maybe her initial vision of "learning from the past" had been slightly more in-depth and complex, but she might as well start by not making the same mistakes that she had while leading LithiumClan.

  "Maybe we should set up a plan for the week or something," she added, twitching an ear. "For example, tomorrow morning could be for hunting, the afternoon could be for combat training, or something like that. Thoughts?"

pinklemonade slunk to the meeting, low-energy and generally a subdued version of themself. "evenin', seija." they sat and listened then stood again. "good plan but who's gonna teach?"

[align=center][div style="borderwidth=0px; width: 450px; text-align: justify; font-size: 8.8pt;"]I'M NOT SAYING IT'S YOUR FAULT —
Hydrus hadn't slept. And if he had, it'd been only a few hours, and it'd been tossing and turning. He'd woken up crying so many times. It seemed that now that he was safe and alive, nightmares of what'd happened in LithiumClan had come back to haunt him. He'd always had anxiety and sometimes panic attacks, but this felt different. Maybe because in the past he'd had no reason to be afraid, but this time he knew. He knew it was real, he'd seen it with his own eyes.

The large tom followed after Pinklemonade, a nervous expression on his face as he looked around the room cautiously. He felt like he could see demons everywhere, like they were hiding in the shadows waiting or crawling in through the walls. He didn't dare sit down, and instead anxiously stood, and as his mother's words finally registered in his head, after Pink spoke, he frowned. "I think that it's a good idea." He said quietly, although anyone who paid attention could tell his mind was somewhere else, as his words were hollow and devoid of emotion.

oh, you're so naive, yet so —✧ appearance
domestic feline / reference / health: 60%
— hydrus is large for a domestic cat, with a wide, heavy frame and long, muscular legs. he's about 15 inches tall, whereas the average feline would be closer to 10 inches. he's currently emaciated due to starvation and almost dying, but he's slowly putting weight back on, and in a few months he should be back to a healthy weight. at a healthy weight, he'd be between 20 and 27 lbs, but because of his bone density, he tends to be a bit higher weight rather than lower. his fur is quite long, which makes him appear even larger. it's splashed with a blue ticked tabby pattern, but his paws, belly, and chest are dipped in milky white. his face is average looking, although he's almost always looking scared or nervous. his eyes are a bright, sunny yellow, similar to the colour of a daffodil.
— injuries: n/a

how could this be done —✧ personality
— anxious, cowardly, affectionate, clingy, gentle
— the term "gentle giant" fits hydrus quite well. he's always been pretty anxious(possibly due to trauma as a newborn), but due to events in his childhood leading to his adulthood, he's become even more of a nervous wreck than when he was a kitten. he's very cowardly and doesn't speak much unless he's spoken to, and quite often the thought rarely crosses his mind. if possible, he will flee from any kind of conflict, and he can barely hold his own in a fight, so it's no surprise that he's terrified of war and battles. he's pretty creative and had a lot of ideas, but anxiety often prevents him from voicing them. if he knows someone and trusts them, he can be incredibly clingy and needy, but he's also quite affectionate and kind.

  /sorry about the late and museless response, school's been beating me to within an inch of my life

  From just a glance, Seija could tell Pinklemonade was exhausted. She didn't really find that surprising, but it was still somewhat concerning- going without rest for too long was one of the easiest ways to catch an illness. "Eat something," she said, nudging a mouse in their direction. "And get some sleep tonight. You've more than earned it."

  Then Hydrus came over, anxiety and weariness written all over his face. She should've known that the trip would be especially rough on him, after all that he'd already gone through over the past few months of calamity, and after she had suffered several sleepless nights herself. With a heavy sigh, the canine pushed a squirrel towards him, adding, "That goes for both of you. I'll keep watch for the night."

  After a moment, she continued, "I'll lead the training, most likely." She'd never actually led a combat training session before, had she? Nevertheless, it couldn't be that hard, provided she made sure it didn't die off without anything being done. Besides, her larger form did bring one benefit; she could take more punishment, so she'd make the perfect training dummy. "As for the schedule, hunting should be daily. The other stuff can be every other day, or every three days. We should probably cycle between combat training, gathering herbs, and figuring out our way around this place- so that we can more easily use it for defense."

they glanced down at the mouse. "thanks," they mumbled, beginning to eat. pink listened to the plan and blinked back the sleepiness. "sounds good, we just gotta stick to it. i don't know everything but i am familiar with the important herbs so i think i'll do well on those days especially."
