Changed once... some that would be considered scary. It clicked. Had Dee mentioned Newt? "Dee?" Richard felt her body tense at the implication, she fought against a snarl. Dee and Richard were friends, thats what Richard told herself but was conflicted.

"Ah... ah... y-you DO know her!" Newt brightened but then drooped again, "Sh-she... she hasn't said anything.. about... about... b-being angry, has she?" He added with a guilty slurr and a croak.

"Angry? No..." Dee was the object of Newt's affection? Oh of course! The bird eggs, He had brought her them. Still, Richard still felt a flash of possessiveness. "Newt..." He voice dipped low. "What did you do to Dee?"

"N-n-n-nothing! N-nothing! j-just... j-just..." He sagged, looking utterly miserable as he fidgeted with the bottle. "I... I... I w-was all pan-panicked and... and r-ran away when... Wh-when I saw her... and... and I... I sh-shouldn't have... I sh-should have... sh-she... she... she n-needed me and..."

"You ran away when she changed?" It was an accussation. That's why Dee had been in such a bad way while she changed! Newt had run away from her. Anger flaired in her eyes at the frog man. "Newt you don't do that during a change!" You retreat to a safe distance if nessicary. But you don't run away.

The frog flinched backward with a terrified noise, hiding his eyes under his webbed hands. His croaks soon turned into a miserable sort of sob, "I... I... I... I co-coo... I cooo... It wa-wa-wa... I j-jj-juh... Sh-sh-sh-she...! Muh-mmm-mmuh...!"

"Couldn't deal with her changes? She's a predator now. Are you afraid she's going to eat you?" Richard growled at the frog's cowardice. She squatted down to look at Newt at eye level glowering at him. She didn't want him to run off and hurt Dee. "You'd best get over that fear, or all the bird feathers in the world won't make you good enough for her."

The frog quivered and croaked and fought the urge to leap away from the danger. Instinct bubbled up, his throat filling and inflating as he lifted his head with a mighty croak. In a daze, he leaped straight for the cat, aiming to get his mouth around Richard's head the same way he had attempted to swallow Tommy back at the river not so long ago.

Although Newt had caught Richard entirely off guard that only meant instinct leaped to the fore. Claws sprang from their sheaths as Richard's handpaws came up to protect her face. One handpaw' caught Newt's lower jaw, its claws dug into Newt's lower jaw.

The claws ripped through his thin amphibious skin like a hot knife through butter and he gave a pained scream as he flinched back. The motion tugged the natural weapons up from under his snout around to the side of his mouth with a spray of red over his green.

Richard did give a damn that she had just hurt Newt, he had just attacked her! She let loose a full roar of outrage at the frightened figure. She fell forward to all fours. "You dare attack me!" The tentacles lashed out at Newt as soon as both handpaws touched forest floor.

The proper instinct kicked in, and the wounded frog gave a terrified croak, leaping away as soon as his muscles had had enough time to bunch up for his flying leap. Blood streaming from his nose and mouth, he didn't look back and left the bundle of feathers and the empty bottle behind him and headed straight for the safety of his swamp. PREDATOR there was a clue he couldn't ignore.

Richard watched him hop away through a red haze of outrage. She nearly gave chase, the smell of blood thick in her nose. It wasn't until Newt was well out of sight did she manage to form a thought that didn't involve ripping Newt into small pieces. She stood and slashed at the trunk of a nearby tree, feeling both frustrated and conflicted. That had not been the outcome she had wanted. So many of her encounters ended in violence lately. And what would Dee think when she heard of this?
Richard headed off in the direction of her tree to brood.
Later on she returns to Newt's swamp and leaves a package of medical supplies at the base of a Tree.
