The tripod jumped as the bat came screeching out, hissing at it like that'd scare the stupid thing before it flew off and they felt kinda silly. It wasnt even a big bat or an angry one, just kinda startled from its sleeping spot with the rest of the bats on the roof. Huh.
"Stupid fake-bird thing...."


God that one bit of fright was tiring and the tripod gave a cough of their own, even as they worriedly sniffed at Wolfhive and murmured a "Sit down and rest, Ill check to make sure its safe here. Dont think we got the energy to go straight back and theres water here." worried.



It was partially true but also... Well Mudhound just couldnt cope with going back yet. They couldnt go back to that awful camp Redhawk had died in, where everyone was rotting and getting worse and hope was just draining. Nonono. There was a distraction here that allowed the tripod to ignore their horrible grief and they were going to take it just to not think about how the love of their life was gone.


So again, nope on going back, Wolfhive could supervise and rest.


Plodding around the area and sniffing the area the tripod noted that oddly enough for so sheltered and perfect an area there was no predator scent or really any indication any mammal bar the bats had been here in a long time. It was safe, flush with water and prey and really just perfect.
Then there was the hole at the back with the different rock that went further and sticking their head in the hornet noted it seemed pretty twoleg like from their experiences. It also downright stunk of the thunderpath, with the faint tinge of fresh air on the other end. And considering the thunderpath was abooooout right overhead at this point? They were pretty sure? It might just cut right under.


This was a fun thing to find and padding back over more awake and free from the weight then they'd been in awhile with something to focus on their eye caught on a large stone wall, paws digging into the thick mud below it.





"We found a treasure Woofie! Like a secret hideout~ We should mark the occasion before we go, theres a big wall back there and its screaming for some mud art! What do you think, I seriously think we're the first cats here ever."
The words and exploration had obviously wiped the tripod as they flocked hacking and kind of desperately drunk down some water from the pool. It was cool and soothing at least for their sore throat.
