I can be too! although he tilted his head at the answer he actually needed although it kinda confused him just a bit but he got the main message making him nod with a smile "ok! Wait...what if you do listen carefully to a stranger but you still can't pick out anything fishy?..." he asked with a confused tone to his voice, but it soon vanished after she mentioned the dog again making his eyes shine and tail swish back and forth in excitement and with a nod he answered "of course I do! " the calicos hind legs were shaking with excitement as he waited for his sister to lead the way.

"If you can't seem to pick up on anything fishy, then follow along, but keep your guard up until you know for sure you can trust them. Not everyone is suspicious when you first meet them... sometimes you have to get to know them before you can tell if they're no good." Trixie stood up, stretching her front paws out and curling her back, before straightening and starting to pad off. She flicked her tail as a signal for Russus to follow her, as the two headed off in search of the little mutt she'd chased off. The molly had to keep herself from giving him another warning; she knew he'd listen now that she'd told him to, but worry made her want to remind him again. With a great show of willpower, however, she kept her maw clamped shut as she walked along.

The tom hummed as a reply before nodding indicating that he understood, he hopped once he watched trixie walk off and emedietly he followed her with his head high and tail high . He began to wonder what type of dog it was or if there were any types of dogs,how was a cat to know? His paws seemed to have worked on their own will as his mind began to wonder on how things would go once they've gotten there. Will there be a fight? Will they even see the beast? It just made him more excited . He soon started to daydream about the dog being as huge as an upwalker with razor sharp fangs and red eyes,claws as sharp as stone! This made his fur stand on end,in the middle of his daydream he was fighting the beast without any problems and being the victor while his sister watched in awe. This also made him determined to prove that she doesn't always have to be the ' hero ' of things which allowed his competitive side to kick in. I'll show her! although as he was in his daydream he padded away from trixie while somehow he still thought that he was behind her, soon enough though he felt the ground grow squishier and not as dry as it used to be, then sure he enough he slipped and fell down a slope making him snap out of his daydream and yowl out of shock and panic,he looked behind himself as he spotted a lake below it making him eep and try to scramble back up. He shivered and gagged as he felt his stomach fur being drug against the ground "TRIXIE!" he yowled ,his fur all spikey. He probably looked idiotic being afraid by this but A he didn't want his pelt to get soaking wet by the lake and B he just didn't like this and that he couldn't get a good enough grip on the ground.

Trixie hadn't been watching the younger cat, instead moving with a look of concentration on her face as she focused on their surroundings, retracing her earlier steps. She faintly heard the pawsteps of Russus as he moved farther away, but she kept it to the back of her mind as she trusted her younger sibling to not lose track of her. This wasn't their first time exploring together, after all. When she heard him yowl for her, however, all focus on the forest vanished as she spun to face him, taking in the situation before dashing over to him. She knew he wouldn't drown- she'd made him suffer through some basic swimming lessons in the past- but she still didn't want to chance it. Moving down the slippery slope, she gripped Russus by the back of his neck and scrambled backwards. At first, she lost her footing and slipped down the slope with him, but by some miracle she managed to get enough traction to pull them back and away from the downhill descent toward the lake. She took a moment to calm herself before placing her gaze on the tom. "You okay?" She asked, regaining her breath; her brother wasn't as small as he used to be, and pulling him took more energy from her than she'd expected.

The calico grunted since her grip was starting to get uncomfortable and cringed as he felt his stomach dragging across the damp dirt, he tried using his hind paws to help push himself up but they slipped a few times. He panicked when his sister lost her footing making him wide eyed and release a yell, though he calmed down quite a bit once they were finally back on dryer land and away from the slop making him pant out of exhaustion that the fear caused and to sit down . The tom bent down to wash his stomach since it was streaked with mud making him gag a bit as he cleaned himself,he liked being rebellious and all but he didn't like his fur being completely dirty, his right ear flicked when trix spoke making him pause only to give his attention to her "other than being scared out of my pelt .....yeah....thanks sis... " he answered sounding a bit out of breath from the fright . His ears folded back a bit as he looked down for a minute before looking back at her "were still going to see the dog riiight?...I swear I thought I was in the right track! But I guess my mind was too much in the clouds ..." he meowed sounding embarrassed near the end making him return to cleaning his fur.

Trixie gave a small, reassuring smile. "Don't mention it. And of course; we're not gonna let a little mud get in the way of our fun, now, are we?" She stood, looking determined as she decided to get rid of Russus's embarrassment as soon as she could. "Besides, it'd make no sense to turn back now- not when we're so close! I think I can already smell the mangy thing- can you?" She sent the tom a questioning glance before turning and trotting off to follow the scent trail, counting on her sibling following.

Russus stood up as quickly as he could and followed her with his tail in the air yet again but he spat out some mud to the side "but I hate getting my fur all dirty ! I mean...sometimes i don't mind but mud?! Gross! Anything but mud!" he complained as he shook his fur with a flick of his tail, the tom shrugged "and yeah I guess your right. It would also ruin the fun." though he raised his eyebrow when she mentioned it's smell, the tom twitched his nose as he took a few whifs of the air and instantly scrunched up his nose catching something that he deemed disgusting "I think I do. It reeks!" he answered making a gagging sound after it .

Trixie laughed, shaking her head as they moved. "You sound like a kit, complaining about mud like that," the molly teased, despite agreeing with him. Mud didn't feel nice in her fur... its sticky way of clinging more than warranted Russus's reaction. "We must be close, now," She spoke again, though in a much more hushed tone. She slowed her pace, looking behind her to give the tom a warning look- be careful.
