Rabi: -sitting waiting for Rustle-
Rustle: *bounds up to Rabi, panting* Ya ready?
Rabi: Been ready, waiting for you.
Rustle: Well, let's get goin!
Rabi: -stands- You lead the way then.
Rustle: *trots towards Bloo's territory* So.. Is decent conversation out of the question?
Rabi: Yep.
Rustle: Oh... Well, thanks for tagging a long, anyway. He'd better leave Loopy alone after tonight.
Rabi: We can just kill him.
Rustle: *pauses* That's a tad overdoing it, don't you think?
Rabi: -shrugs- I don't give a s**t. He touched my Loopy.
Rustle: True... but... I don't think Loopy would be happy about it if he found out.
Rabi: Again, I don't care. He'll get over it.
Rustle: Errhh.. Well, let's agree to not kill him? Bash a limb or two, but not murder.
Rabi: If you really are such a wimp, then I'll kill him and you can stay here.
Rustle: You're right, I'm probably much too weak for this fight. *hangs his head*
Rabi: Besides, why do you even care? Thought you didn't like Loopy.
Rustle: ... I don't not like Loopy. But I feel responsible for him gettin' hurt.
Rabi: Well you should, since it was your fault.
Rustle: Yeah, it was...
Rabi: Hmpf. -heads for Bloo's territory again-
Rustle: *dashes away to find Loopy once Rabi is gone*
Rabi: -continues forward-


Loopy: -nestled around, licking at his paw-
Rustle: Loopy! Loopy?! *running around*
Loopy: -blinks- Russ? I'm right here.
Rustle: *runs up to Loopy* Rabi's gunna kill Bloo!
Loopy: D8 What?
Rustle: *pants* Rabi's ... really scary, Loopy. He said he was gunna kill Bloo because he touched you! I..
Loopy: You what? D8 -panicked look- I don't want either of you to bother Bloo
Rustle: It's too late now, Rabi's gone!
Rustle: What? ._.
Loopy: We can't let him kill Bloo. It's not right.
Rustle: ... If we get in there, we'll only get hurt. Rabi's crazy.
Loopy: That's not really nice, Russ... 'Sides, I don't think he'd hurt either of us
Rustle: D< It's the truth! Oh, he's given me looks like he wants to murder me. And now I know he wouldn't mind doin' it.
Loopy: D8 No... You've.... Rabi wouldn't... D8
Rustle: I have no doubt that he would. Especially if I happened to brush against you the wrong way. o__o You should see the looks he gives me.
Loopy: But.... I mean sure, he's a little protective, but that doesn't mean...
Rustle: A LITTLE protective? He's probably murdering Bloo RIGHT NOW!
Loopy: -horrified look- But... he... -starts limping/running toward Bloo's territory-
Rustle: Loopy!
Loopy: He can't murder Bloo.
Rustle: Neither of them are worth getting hurt over any more.
Loopy: -spins- What am I supposed to do then, Russ? Just sit here while I know someone might die because of /me/?

Rustle: ... It's not your fault Loopy. It's mine.
Loopy: Rabi wouldn't kill over you.... Just me.
Rustle: But I had you hurt in the first place.
Loopy: -whimpers-
Rustle: =/ Hows your paw feelin, anyway?
Loopy: It hurts..... But I've had worse. -curls his tails around himself- -sighs sadly and rests his head against Rustle's shoulder-
Rustle: *shifts uncomfortably but lets him get away with it*
Rabi: -comes around the corner, streaked with blood- -notices the two and lets out a low snarl, moving to shove himself between Rustle and Loopy, glaring at Rustle-
Loopy: Rabi, what-
Rabi: -snarls again, glaring at Loopy then back to Rustle-
Rustle: *cringes as he sees Rabi* ... Perfect. Urh...
Rabi: -growls- Get out of here, Slick Silver or I'll give you something to tell about. D<
Rustle: *flicks his ears back* You're not my mama.
Rabi: -deathglare- You don't get out of here, and I'm going to mess up that face you love so much.
Loopy: Rabi, stop it. -begging-
Rabi: -turns at Loopy, snapping his teeth-
Loopy: -yelps in surprise and jumps back, falling over-
Rustle: Y'all right Loops? *stands defensively* D<
Loopy: -wordless nod-
Rabi: -bristles and snarls at Rustle- Get going.
Rustle: No! D<
Rabi: -readys himself to leap at Rustle's throat- DDD<
Rustle: You're already weak and tired from fighting Bloo, don't think you have a chance against me!
Loopy: D8 -gets to his feet and moves between the two- Russ, please, just go... -doesn't want them to fight-
Rustle: *snorts* ]< Fine Loopy, but don't expect to see me again any time soon.
Rabi: -snorts- Well you heard him. Get going, /Russ/.
Rustle: *lashes at Rabi with his tail as he turns and walks off*
Loopy: -hangs his head, blinking away tears-
Rabi: -snorts- Good riddence. Come on Loopy. -shoves him in the general direction of their den-


Thimble: -sees Rustle coming- -bounces over before noticing his mood- Hey.... You okay?

Rustle: No. *tilts his head* I'm taking off.
Thimble: What do you mean? What happened? -concerned-
Rustle: Your dads boyfriend is a murderer.
Thimble: Is my dad okay? -suddenly very worried-
Rustle: Yeah. *keeps his head low as he walks* He's fine.
Thimble: Then who did the guy murder? Does Dad know?

Rustle: Some guy called Bloo. I dunno if he's actually dead. But Rabi came back awfully bloody.
Thimble: Why are you in such a bad mood? Were you friends with this guy, Bloo?
Rustle: No
Thimble: Then what happened to piss you off? The fact that this guy's with my dad?
Rustle: Cause I'm certain Rabi wants to kill me too... I'm leaving.
Thimble: Dad wouldn't let him even try to kill you. And you keep saying that. Where are you going?
Rustle: I dunno, somewhere else.
Thimble: But why? Why would this guy want to kill you anyway?
Rustle: You ask way too many questions!! *snaps*
Thimble: -flinches- I care about my friends, that's all. I don't want you to get hurt. Dad wouldn't either. He- Nevermind.
Rustle: Doesn't matter.. -___- *gone into gloomy not-listening mode*
Thimble: -prods Rustle hard- And why not?! -snaps- Just because some bully moves in you're going to abandon everyone?
Rustle: *snarls* I've caused too much drama here anyway.
Thimble: It's part of /life/. You can't just leave. I mean... I can understand it. I get how you are. Dad doesn't though. You know that.
Rustle: Doesn't matter
Thimble: Yes it does. You know it does. Dad's always talked about you. Always. You're his best friend. You can't abandon him.
Rustle: I don't care. He still has you.
Thimble: It's not the same. Please, Rustle. Don't leave.
Rustle: Hmph
Thimble: What did he do to piss you off?
Rustle: Go away Thimble.
Thimble: Why? So you can just run away like a pup?
Rustle: Shoo!
Thimble: Suck it up and deal with it. You're being a coward. -turns in a huff and leaves-
Rustle: *growls and tries so hard to resist spewing insults*
Loopy: -wants to go find Rustle, but can't get out of the den- -curls up in the back corner and tries not to cry-
Rabi: Hmpf. -guarding the entrance-
