Looks at Sofie and shake my head walking away into the forest

The calm atmosphere seemed to relax both the pets in this exercise. With all the sounds of the river flowing, the trees rustling and a clearing showing the bright, blue stars in the indigo ocean-like space of the night sky, it felt rather safe to sleep right there and then. Duchess thought they were going to fish for longer, but Moxie soon left the bank and started grabbing twigs and branches. Duchess soon realized the plan and placed all the caught fish into a pile, then made towards Moxie to help out.
Their plan consisted of weaving a rough, but rather strong basket so that all the fish could be delivered. The basket would hopefully be used for more foraging or even a shelter, thought Moxie, so she did her best to reinforce it with strong, wide leaves. Soon, both the basket and fishing was complete, with the pair coming back to the clearing earlier, hoping there was someone else who found something too.

Sofie walked closely to Riverpaw, examining every little hole that seemed suitable enough for a den.

“Riverpaw, I’m not sure what will work or what won’t. I don’t usually sleep in a den unless I need to hide, and even then I’m only looking for ones that will barely allow me into it. Nothing here looks like it would work.” Sofie frowned and continued to walk forward.

The deeper Sofie had gone into the forest, the darker it had become. Vines crawled up the trees and the sun could barely be seen between the leaves above. Suddenly, Sofie got an idea.

“What if we make a den?” She said, whirling around, “I know that has already been mentioned, but there was really nothing around. We could take these vines back and make a shelter, or maybe even make hammocks up in the trees!”

Riverpaw listening closely, examining the trees. She didn't like the idea of sleeping off of the ground but vines and some big leaves would work well for a hidden den. "That sounds good." She said to Sofie. "I-I, um, I'm good at making dens in hills and hollow trees back in my home. If we can't find an empty spot, w-we could always dig one out, too?"

“Sounds good…” Sofie said, suddenly remembering her parents. She shook the thought away and began to collect vines. They would need quite a few for reinforcement and for the larger animals such as DK (his dragon form), Haze, and herself.

Riverpaw did what she could to help; vines were rather difficult for her to pull from the trees and the bigger leaves they needed were too high up. Instead, she found a big, bowl-shaped leaf and use that to collect smaller things in. She took some soft shrubbery and ferns, pulled free any loose vines and leaves that she could reach, and she took a bunch of colorful flowers, making sure to pat dirt over the holes of every plant she uprooted.

Sofie looked at Riverpaw’s work and smiled, “You really do care for the earth don’t you? I’ll get all the things up high and you can work down low?”

Sofie didn’t wait for a response and flew into the trees. She found much bigger and broader vines up where the sunlight was stronger.

Riverpaw smiled shyly, not realizing that Sofie had been watching her, then tossed another small mouthful of ferns into the pile. She paused in her task when she saw a familiar plant she often used for healing. She didn't want to think that any of her new…buddies…would get hurt that badly, but it was very possible considering none of them really knew this place or its dangers. Glancing at Sofie and making a mental note to keep an eye out for more healing herbs, she took a few of the pale red flowers and leaves from the stem and put them with the rest of her collection.

Sofie tugged viciously at the thicker vines, but they held. She kept pulling and even attempted to rip them with her teeth and claws. It took her a while to saw through one end of the vine and realizing that it wasn’t worth the time, she began to descend. One of her wings, however, got tangled in the thick vines.

“Ack!” Sofie hissed, trying to cut the vines. She sighed and began to claw her way through the plant material.

"Oh, gosh!" Riverpaw yipped as she trotted over. That looked like it hurt. "Are you okay?"

“Yep!” Sofie called down to Riverpaw, a vine between her teeth.

Sofie finally managed to untangle herself and she leapt from branch to branch down to Riverpaw. She still the held the thick vine between her teeth.

“Here’s one vine and one vine is all I’m going to get from up there. The vines are too thick and strong, I think they might be parasitic.” Sofie dropped the vine and stared at it angrily for a moment.

Riverpaw had had her fair share of parasitic plants back home. She leaned down to sniff at the vine, then stuck her tongue out a tiny bit and pushed it away. "Bleh." Luckily for them, it didn't seem like these particular plants were sentient like the ones her sister dealt with… Great, she thought, now she was worried about there being sentient plants in this forest.

Sofie smiled and looked over at the pile of vines and scattered plants, “Do you think that’s enough to hold us all up? I wouldn’t mind sleeping on a branch if there aren’t enough vines to make a hammock.”

Sofie carefully pulled all the vines together with her paws while she talked and stepped back to look at the tower of plants. “That’s a lot to carry back.”

"Yeah…" Riverpaw muttered. She tilted her head side to side a few times, tucking one more small flower into the pile. "But, a-at least we have a lot to work with?"

Some of the vines were cut down and a trail of paw prints were leading the opposite way. Some of the bushes were missing to and other healing plants are gone.

“Yeah, you’re right.” Sofie replied thoughtfully. She began to lay vines over her back and tucked a couple under each wing. The pile was only halfway gone when she had finished. Putting a final vine in her mouth Sofie nodded in the direction of the clearing.

“Mphs gmph.” She said, hoping Riverpaw would understand.

Riverpaw giggled and nodded, turning to grab the edge of the big leaf-bowl and give it a few tugs. Glad to find that her teeth didn't seem to rip it, she turned her back toward where they had come from and started pulling. The pile was somehow lighter than she thought it'd be but it's not like she was complaining.

Moxie and Duchess were in the clearing when Riverpaw and Sofie arrived. Sofie dropped all of the vines she had been dragging with her and triumphantly wagged her tail.

Riverpaw struggled for a moment to get the leaf over an exposed tree root, but she huffed quietly once she was in the clearing and let go of the load. She licked her lips a little, cringing at the leafy taste in her mouth.

I walk into the clearing as I see Riverpaw set down a load of leaves and I walk over to her hey river

Riverpaw squeaked and turned to him, taking a step back. "O-oh, uh…hi." She wasn't too keen on new people calling her that nickname but…well, this guy scared her, so she left it alone.

Where is sofie at? looks at Riverpaws a little curious and I see the pile on the ground Are you making a base?

Sofie walked over at that moment and tried to stifle a laugh, “No we’re not making a base. I thought we could make hammocks and sleep in the trees… So we got all of these vines.”

looks at sofie I see glitches a little and I shake my head as I smirk you should know those vines would not last a hour since walks away to a bush also I made my own base Moves the bush and a tree house is shown

Sofie watched a little angrily as DK swept the bush and revealed the tree house. Stubbornly, she replied, “Well I’m going to sleep high up in the trees.”

It’d be better for all of us, She added inwardly, I could keep all of us safe by sleeping up higher. Then if they come… they‘ll only take me.

Sofie shook her head and turned back to Moxie and Duchess, “You guys found food, right?”

Lia stretched lazily from her place in the tree tops, "It's amazing the human tendencies of these creatures isn't it." She yawned, she would be content sleeping in the tree's.
