Blaze/Fennec/Female/Desert Skulk/Second in command M: Noah, Sable

Clouds gather overhead, and the heavens crash open. Rain, an uncommon sight in this arid place. Blaze huffed. Of ALL the times it could rain, it decided to rain right after the hunt. Blaze tossed her catch over her back: a couple of jerboas and a small lizard, and she began to briskly trot back to camp. On the way, she saw Noah, sticking his nose in something, and Sable, looking down at him. Blaze padded toward Noah.

“What are you doing?” She began, “Shouldn’t you be at camp in this kind of weather?”

Candy sighed as he let his mate walk away to hunt, he understood that it would be faster for her to hunt, not only because of his injury but also because it was now raining and he wasn't a good hunter at the best of times let alone in the rain. He called after her "I'll be waiting in a tree here! Come back quickly and be careful, I don't know what it is but something doesn't smell right out here!" He sighed yet again, feeling useless as he climbed up the nearby tree and laid in the branches, watching Nori for as long as he could until she disappeared into the brush. He couldn't shake the feeling of danger, he thought he recognized the scent in the air but he couldn't place where he knew it from and that thought was gnawing at his brain. But there was nothing he could do now, she was off and all that was left to do was sit and wait until she got back.

I bound in the forest, only slipping twice. As a grey fox, Nori took to the trees and caught 2 squirrels down and a sparrow. This should be enough. "Nori.... I will take you. You can not escape. Your pelt will look nice, as a rug." Nori bolts from the tree. Triping. Nori notices how dark it is. Eyes wide, hyperventilating, she ran.

She stood on a wet log staring at the male grey fox as he stayed in the rain. Her yellow eyes flickered from the fox to the bush. Something was wrong with it's tail so she stayed quiet before speaking.

"Who do we have here?", said Nightshade staring at Candy though she didn't address the tail, "Are you alone?'

Candy nearly jumped out of his fur when a lone fox called to him, he hadn't even noticed her approaching. He sighed blaming his lack of warning on the rain and his worry for Nori. He didn't recognize the fox but they were still in forest territory so that would mean they were either trespassing or they were a farmer/trader, either way Candy didn't mind to much, he'd always liked meeting new foxes and it gave him something to focus on that wasn't his worry for his mate or the itch of his messed up fur. He smiled, flashing his long pearly white teeth as he tried to look friendly and said "oh! Hello! I'm Candy, from the forest skulk. Seeing as how I don't recognize you I'd guess you aren't from the forest skulk. It's nice to meet a new face!.... I'm not exactly alone, I'm waiting for my mate, Nori, to get back from hunting! We were on our way to find a farmer called nightshade but we figured we should catch something to pay them with before we went and found her. Traders and farmers don't like to do stuff for free after all, at least not in my experience.... You wouldn't happen to know where I could find this nightshade, would you?" Candy was doing his very best to focus on this new stranger and possible friend since he was honestly extremely anxious and annoyed at the rain and the dark. Be missed Nori already and he still couldn't shake the itch that something dangerous was prowling around, he just couldn't put his paw on what it was. At the very least this new stranger didn't seem like a threat and maybe they could help him and Nori find nightshade faster?

Nightshade was surprised that two foxes were looking for her though she found amusement that he didn't know that he was talking to the one that they were after. She wasn't impressed that forest skulk foxes were looking for her though but Nightshade took pity on the confused and worried fox.

"I am called Nightshade though I'm surprised that two foxes are looking for a farmer and trader. I'm guessing there is a reason you are looking for me?", said the brown and white vixen making sure to keep her voice calm so she didn't scare the other fox.

She ignored the rain as it fell onto her brown fur because it didn't bother her.

Saraid had not managed to catch any fish but at least she caught some other prey. Her eyes flickered to the sunset before shaking her head to get the idea out of her mind. She was curious but not foolish.
