Red-
Red slowly opened his eyes a few minutes later. The pain he was feeling was unbearable. He struggle to get up, but seering pain in his chest and shoulder force him back to the ground. He started sobbing in pain. He didn't like showing his sad emotions, but right now he couldn't help it. "Somebody...help me..." He said softly, before collapsing again.

Kamali
After agreeing to Ken'ichi's suggestion about him going off after Red, Kamali went off like a lion. He managed to catch a wiff of the alimon's scent, so tracking him wouldn't be a problem. The thing was actually getting him to stop and talk about it, and though Red was probably long gone by now, Kamali is determined to find the alimon. 'But will he listen and come back?'
Kamali came to a stop after a while of running, the bear just reached a cliff. Looking around, Kamali wondered where Red had gone to, he couldn't let the beautiful scenery in front of him slow him down. He was about to go on until his ears caught the sound of something...The sound of someone crying? "Hm?"
Kamali looked down and the scent of blood quickly drained into his nostrils, and surely enough he could make out the figure of something red at the bottom. No doubt about it, the scent, the skin, it has to be Red. "Red?!" Kamali shouts as he slowly makes it down the cliff with the help of some rocks and boulders, careful of not to slip and fall. "Is that you?! Are you OK?!"

Red-
Red nearly went out cold again when he heard someone call out his name. He strained to look behind him, but could only manage a sideways glance. "Kamali...?" He said softly. He struggled again to his feet, but once again he fell back down, weakened by pain. "I was...attacked...by a rogue alimon named Brasil..." He coughed. "He knocked me off the cliff."

Kamali
Kamali winced as Red told him how he ended up at the bottom of the cliff, about the alimon named Brasil who assaulted him. It wasn't until Kamali got on the ground did he noticed at how the wounds are. "Yeouch...Those look pretty bad..." Kamali looks around, suddenly recognizing this place. "Hang in there for a bit, I know some plants around here that can help you with those wounds, just don't worsen them by moving."

Red-
Red nodded and settled back down. His thoughts went back to what Truttle said earlier. About how the group would never be safe as long as he was around. He let a single silvery tear roll down his cheeks as he thought about that.
I don't know who to trust No surprise Everyone feels so far away from me Heavy thoughts sift through dust And the lies
Red looks the best he could at the wound he got from Brasil, and imagined it was Truttle who gave him them. "I deserve this..." he whispered to himself.
Trying not to break But I'm so tired of this deceit Every time I try to make myself Get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this All the tiring time between And how trying to put my trust in you Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside And throw it all away Cause I swear For the last time I won't trust myself with you
If only he listened...if only he had stopped it from the beginning.. Red's mind was overwhelmed with these thoughts.
Tension is building inside Steadily Everyone feels so far away from me Heavy thoughts forcing their way Out of me
"Why does he hate me...?" He asked, but already knew the answer to that. "It's because I didn't listen..." He said to no one in particular. He nearly forgot Kamali was close by.
Trying not to break But I'm so tired of this deceit Every time I try to make myself Get back up on my feet All I ever think about is this All the tiring time between And how trying to put my trust in you Just takes so much out of me
Take everything from the inside And throw it all away Cause I swear For the last time I won't trust myself with you
"Perhaps this is fate.." He said with a soft inward smile. "I don't know why I got mad...Truttle is right..."
I won't waste myself On you! Waste myself On you!
He continued whispering to himself, unsure if Kamali was hearing him or not. "Maybe, when I get better, I should leave... He's right."
I'll take everything from the inside And throw it all away Cause I swear For the last time I won't trust myself with you
I'll take everything from the inside And just throw it all away Cause I swear For the last time I won't trust myself with you!
Red closed his eyes and let his mind rest, knowing very well that he should stay awake. But the sleepiness was too strong for him to resist.
OOC: The song is From The Inside, a Linkin Park song. I felt it fit what Red is going through. I think it could also fit Truttle.

Nadine
Nadine looked both shocked and almost nearly afraid when she saw that Truttle was yelling at her. Especially now that he was pointing his claw right in front of her.
"You! For having abandoned your sister out in the woods and making us search for you! Which happened to be right in the middle of a human village?! What were you even doing there?! We should have nothing to do with these flithy humans! They only bring destruction!"
Nadine was about to reply back to him when he suddenly then turned to Kimba.
"AND YOU!!! For making me look like a fool for even bringing you here! Running off into a battle was the main reason we did NOT bring cubs along! You put us all in danger! I was the one responsible for you! You shouldn't run off!"
Kimba look quite guilty with a sad disappointed look on her face as if she was about to cry. Nadine couldn't help but glared at Truttle. There was no way she let some bear yell at her sister like that. She and Kimba still stood there as Truttle continue yelling with rage, feeling so upset that either Nadine or Kimba didn't know what to do.
After Red left, Nadine looked at Ken'ichi talking to his brother Kamali until Kamali left to go find Red. That's when Nadine couldn't take it much longer and couldn't hold back her anger much longer.
Nadine let out a mighty bear roar and quickly pushed Truttle down to the ground, but she had almost collpased on the ground with him, but quickly pull herself away from him.
"Listen you," Nadine started to say very angerily at Truttle. "Why should you be blaming on me for leaving in the first place anyway?! You hardly even know me!!!!" She shouted. "And no, I didn't ditch my sister on purpose if that's what you're thinking. And speaking of my sister, you have no right whatsoever to yell at her. EVER!!!!!" She screamed at him. "So don't even think about yelling at her again or else!!!" She warned him.

Savik flinches as Loki's panicked squawking pierces her ears; she can hardly understand his words for the pain, but she stops shaking as promptly as if following orders, and stands stiffly at attention.
Finally, she gives up sleeping for a lost cause.
"What seems to be the trouble, Loki?" Her tone is brisk and businesslike -- and it's costing her a great deal of effort to keep it that way, with her frustration ever growing and her ears still ringing.

It doesn't take long for Nikiski to find other food source -- a pond full of small fish. While it's nothing like sockeye salmon that's not available right at the moment, it's better than nothing.
The bear dips his head in the pond... "Ooo! Refreshing!" He thought. The bear quickly catches a few fishes and carries them in his mouth and pads back to the cave.
"I bet Keni will be delighted." He thought as he approaches the cave.

Kamali
Kamali takes off to find the stuff he needed to treat Red's wounds, surprised he didn't have to go far at all to find the stuff. Flowers here, herbs here, berries over there. It was all accessible right there close to Red, didn't even need to get far...
"Why does he hate me...?"
"Hm?" Kamali hums, listening to that question that came from Red.
"It's because I didn't listen..."
"What?" Kamali mutters, turning to face Red, noticing the alimon's tears rolling down his face.
"Perhaps this is fate...I don't know why I got mad...Truttle is right..."
Kamali couldn't help but listen to the alimon's words as he went about his business to collect the stuff for Red's wounds, the words crawling into Kamali's heart, feeling sorrow for the alimon himself.
"Maybe, when I get better, I should leave... He's right."
Kamali just finished collecting the stuff by the time he heard Red say that. Slowly shaking his head, unable to believe how the situation turned out after Truttle's scolds. He should say something to Red to make him feel better, something to make Kamali feel better as well.
"Um...Red?" Kamali started as he turns back to Red, but almost dropped the stuff when he saw Red drifting off to sleep. It is lethal and dangerous for a wounded creature to fall asleep, Kamali drops the things next to a tree and shakes the alimon. "Hey!! Wake up! Don't fall asleep on me now!!"

Red-
Red woke up in a start. "What...? Oh...I guess I sort of dozed off there." He looked at Kamali. He began thinking maybe the cub overheard him. He looked at the ground, downcast. "You heard everything I said, right?"

Koda's not used to being in the background; yet that is where he has landed himself, as he hasn't spoken a word since the search party left. Now he finds himself feeling useless when Ken'ichi assigns each of the others a task. There must be some way he can help.
He's about to volunteer to help Sioul escort the girls, when the older one takes off after Truttle. That can't be good... Koda clears his throat. "I don't think it's Nadine who needs our help right now..."

Ken'ichi
Ken'ichi cringes as Nadine takes off after Truttle, gritting his teeth. This is not going very well at all...
From behind him Koda clears his throat, getting his attention. "I don't think it's Nadine who needs our help right now..."
Ken'ichi nods. "Yeah..." He glances to where Truttle left, then turned to Koda. "Can you come along with me to try to cheer Truttle up?"

Kamali
Kamali's ears lower, looking at Red in the eye as he replays Red's question in his mind. Finally, Kamali answers, "Pretty much."

Red-
"Yeah," He looked at his grey claws. "I kind of figured that you did.." He looked away and let out a sight. He wasn't sure what to do now. He was at a loss. He felt defeated...for the first time, he felt defeated... and he didn't like it. "I knew he was angry, but I didn't think he was *that* angry..."

Kamali
"Hm!" Kamali hummed, turning around and padding to the herbs and berries. "Well, you can talk with him about it and fix things between you two now won't we?" Kamali picked up the stuff and drags them over to Red. "I mean, Truttle is a reasonable bear, you'll have things patched up between you two in no time. I'm sure of it."
