Eve jumped back in shock, and her eyes widened in fear. Oh no, the owner had returned! This was exactly what she had been afraid of! The best thing to do now was probably to just... say sorry and put the big stone back on top of the smaller stones, and be on their way. Hopefully, the black ulaya wouldn't take any of this personally, and they could all escape from this mess unharmed.
She cringed a little when the orange female started yelling at the horned female. Eve was by no means a coward, but she was wise enough to know what battles to pick. It wasn't like the moto'undil didn't look angry enough already, how would egging her on do any good? Eve nudged Mordana hard in the ribs and hissed "be quiet! I don't think you want to make her any angrier than she already is!".

T'ali's fur bristeled "out in the open?!" she snarled "How on EARTH can you claim that I had left them out in the open" she glanced around briefly, and sure enough, the boulder she had placed on top of her pretties were showing signs of having been moved recently. "I had place that" she gestured to the rock "well on top of them to protect them from prying, thieving eyes like yours she spat.
How dare this little moronic ulaya try and undermine her claim to the stones. They were HERS, and no-one else had ANY claim to them. Her green eyes sparkled in anger. She saw the otherwise quiet brown ulaya nudge the orange one and whisper something. Probably discussing how they could steal her stones! Well, she wouldn't have it! "I'll give you one chance to explain why I shouldn't... shouldn't attack you" she threatened.
