Jani suddenly changed from crying, to snarling in aggression. "That-that stupid raptor! I will kill her one day, I will not forget." He grabbed a stick and threw it at a tree. "Rahhh!" He watched it hit the tree and break in half. "Grrrr..." He grabbed another stick and snapped it in half and stormed away in the direction the raptor came from, his face still wet.

I heard a micro screech and turned around to see that Alsaela wasn't in the den anymore. I panicked but kept it down

"Khazhak, Alsaela is gone again, please help me try and find her. I don't know how long she has gone but you know how far she can go in such a short time," I begged. I then ran off towards the screech, only to come face to face with a lone micro

"Well, hello there," I said "Did you lose your pack?" I asked with a sympathetic and motherly tone. They must have traveled quite a distance if they lost their pack, but I'm sure Blue would be fine with it. It would allow a possible alliance with another pack if we were lucky.

she followed the trail she was on, her senses telling her she was following something delicious. She didn't know what it was yet though. She followed the trail down a large hole, remaining silent. Her light sensitive eyes were perfect for the dark, as she could see almost as well as if she were in the cave camp. She followed the trail down, down, and down again. After some time, she found what she was following and quickly killed two rabbits. There was something glimmering dimly nearby, so she glance over and was captivated by this funny looking rock. So... Shiny... She dug at the base, using rocks around her to chip away, before finally, this stone of some sort was hers. She looked back up the hole she came down, wondering how she would carry her prizes. Thinking quickly, she slashed open one of the rabbits and stuffed her special rock inside. She then dragged both rabbits up through the tunnel. This all takes a minute to write but for her it was nearly an hour, because the rabbits were heavy, and she was backtracking her steps. Once outside, she quickly dragged both rabbits back to camp, which took even more time. It was a wonder how she wasn't followed, but it wasn't luck. It was the fact that all the bigger dinosaurs were in the valley chasing a triceratops stampede. So maybe it was a bit of luck. Eventually she made it back to camp. So she took her three mice and two rabbits and dragged them through the entrance, and continued to drag them towards the prey pile.

Jani heard a voice and whipped around to stare at a grey and black raptor. He turned around and hissed. "I have no business talking to a raptor, I'm a troodon, why aren't you trying to kill me right now? That's what the white one did." He snarled.

"Well, I'm also not aggressive as most of my kind," I said sitting on my haunches so I was closer to his height. I hoped he felt he could relax more since It would take me a bit to get up even if I tried to attack him. The male micro thought he was a troodon "Well, why don't you come with me while you possibly wait for your troodon pack to come back? There have been some more dangerous predators out here and I don't want anything happening to you," I said, I didn't exactly know what to do so I was improvising. Never tell a micro they aren't something, let them figure it out on their own. But still, urge them to make the realization on their own by leaving hints that arent obvious.

Jani looked at the raptor. Does she really mean that? He whipped around when he heard another voice and snarled. "What am I then? Huh?" He hissed. "How can I not be a troodon if I hatched with them?" He snarled.

I quickly glared at Blu, I was afraid she was going to ruin what I was attempting. "Blu we don't want to alarm the poor thing," I said "It must be difficult waking up to find the ones you know as your family is gone," I said trying to help her catch on and play along.

Jani looked back and forth at both raptors, very confused why they were friendly. "Why aren't you trying to kill me right now? This is weird. Most raptors I've run into always try to kill my pack, but not me, it's so confusing.." He put his paw on his head in confusion. "I don't understand..." He said his thoughts out loud.

"Not all raptors are the same, in personally. Just like how velociraptors are distantly related to troodons, they look similar but aren't exactly tey same!" I explained, dropping my first hint. I stayed on my haunches, not exactly moving other than my head.
