Meeting the green eyes and refusing to back down despite the warning growl but you stayed and asked the leopardess to join you. There was a flicker but not of fear or respect but still something before it was gone.

The proud feline silently walked up to you with her eyes locked on you and confidance in her step before giving you a head butt in the stomach. Looks like she has accepted to join you but apparently doesn't respect you much. Only a little bit but that is ok.

A bark reminded you of the siblings and from what you saw your horses had put a hoof on the two squirrels tails to stop them from hiding.

You could wait a bit longer and keep exploring if you are unsure? Just walk with no destination in mind for a break?

Plan?

A) Wait a bit longer before choosing (chance of acceptance will rise)

B) Explore with no destination in mind (may find items)

C) Choose a canine to ask (one friendly but one skittish. 40% chance on friendly male but 30% chance on skittish female)

A. I'm going to wait a bit longer and gather the squirrels before they try to run off again.

B) Walk

B) Continue in the cave and look around

You decide to wait a bit longer and besides you have to get your squirrels who tried to escape again. Gathering your squirrels from beneath the hooves of your horses and putting them back in the box.

Now that you had not only two horses but a fluffy leopardess, you look around. There was some food from a apple tree to berries.

Red berries, blue berries and black berries while some apple trees had red apples and others have green apples.

It would be good to have something to eat while also packing extra in case you wanted a break again or something they could be used for.

Eat or pack?

A) Eat some apples or berries while pack extra

B) Pack all the food in the bag. All the food is yours now

You walk while trying not to make a sound to not alert any creatures in the forest. The horses may get further away but you are sure that you will get to them.

You hope nothing is stalking you though you had to freeze for a bit as a random blue chicken walked across your path and passed you while ignoring you. It was followed by a exsperated looking black wolf who muttered a apology to you as it followed the random chicken before they both vanished.

You continue walking as you heard the sounds of horses getting both close yet far away. Was there more than one herd?

One herd was deeper in the trees on your left, on your right was the sound of a herd in a clearing you could see a little bit and in front of you also deeper in the forest sounded a herd but no stallion? Apparently the other two have stallions while one doesn't.

Which direction?

A) To the herd on the right

B) To the herd on the left

C) The the herd deeper in front of you

A. My stomach grumbles a little and I decide to enjoy an apple while I pack some extra apples and berries into the bag for later.

A the herd on the right
