Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hurrying to the opposite side of the farm from the farmhouse itself, Althea stopped not too far away from the large grain silo. At this point the large doe was getting out of breath. Running wasn't her gift, and she did her best to keep her chest heaving a hidden thing. After catching her breath, Althea sought out Crocus and nodded to her in greeting.

"This is where I leave you. No need to tell you what to do, I should think."

She smirked conspiringly to the other owsla before taking on a more sober tone.

"If I don't make it back, lead everyone to the Down. Take charge. Get as many out as you can."

Not a pleasant thought, but a necessary one. Making her rounds through the remaining rabbits again, she prodded those she'd be leaving with Crocus, wishing them luck as she touched noses.

Once they'd been figured out she looked over those that remained. Hers, now. Back to the barn, the same place she'd faced a cat so long ago. Not that she was about to share horror stories in this eleventh hour.

"Ready you lot? Let's get going then."

Urging them onward, she headed across the farm field proper, towards the large structure in the middle of everything; the barn.

Camellia nosed Althea back and watched her run off.
She has never felt this nervous before. Keeping watch of Crocus and listening to everything that was being said, she quietly hopped after her. Heart pounding, she shakes her tail trying to keep herself focused. "I-I could go on my own but would like to go with someone else in case of running into a pfeffa" she said staying near the doe. Staying close to the team, she patiently waited to see who her partner will be. "Dogsbane..." she whispered as she makes a mental image of him in her mind.

Dogsbane took a few deep breaths. As eager as he was to run he kept himself quiet and close to Crocus, as to not make the other's nervous or even tharn! He didn't know what he would do, should someone stop moving from fear. He'd probably never get over the guilt.

He nodded as Althea saw them off and listened closely to Crocus. He kept his legs coiled as she told him what she wanted him to do. "I won't let you down, Crocus. You can count on me." He hopped off a tiny bit, watching both the entrance and the way they had come, nose twitching constantly.

Linnet felt the energy of the rabbits surge around her as they raced from one side of the farm to the other. It felt so sudden that they were already where they needed to be, and already Althea and her group were gearing up to leave. She perked her ears as Althea came around to her, wishing her luck and then brushed her nose “I wish you luck as well.” Linnet’s voice was quiet and pretty, but an undertone of nervousness ran below it. The rabbits started splitting up then, leaving the group by themselves.

Linnet’s eyes soared upwards to the top of the silo, she had never been close to the farm and hadn’t realized how large it really is. She pulled her eyes back down when she heard Crocus begin to talk, more words to keep locked in her mind. Linnet took a deep breath, trying to get a bit more settled, but she couldn’t tell if it had worked.

The doe quietly hopped after Crocus after she asked the rabbits who wanted partners to gather, in this situation it would be ideal to have a partner.

Dogsbane felt his stomach flutter at the mention of Ginkgo. He really did care about the grumpy old sod...he knew he would be proud of him for this. He felt a smile tugging at his lips as he went back to observing.

The doe smiled widely at the two does who had gathered near her. "Well, now see, this looks about perfect. Camellia, this I believe is Linnet. You're both looking for partners; why not go together?" The two does looked nervous and she hoped that her friendly demeanor would calm them a little bit. "And remember, if something does happen, just look for me or Dogsbane. We'll come running in a hearbeat."

Camellia hopped over to Linnet and sniffed around her face to remember her scent. This will be useful to know where she is once the sun sets. "Hi partner. Please watch over me as I will watch over you" she said with a small nervous smile. Looking over to Darkbrier, she was not sure if that rabbit wanted to go alone or not.

Linnet saw the other doe hopping around Crocus before she had come closer. She recognised her from the warren of course, but she didn’t think they had ever talked.

Camellia approached and sniffed Linnet, she did the same.
“Hello” Linnet’s voice was soft and polite. She nodded after the doe was done talking “Of course.” She smiled, she felt her heart slow down a bit, Crocus’ plan was working

“So, which way should we go then-” She held up when she heard Dogsbane A pfeffa already?
