Moaki got to his feet, ready to follow Truttle and the others to this 'safe place.'
"With any luck, none of these 'Korovin's army' guys will show up." The pup thought. "Just hope these guys are all as friendly as I think they are..."

Togiak:
Togiak welcomed the new bear. “Well it is nice to meet you Midnight.” He wasn’t sure what to think of Midnight. He seemed nice but would have to wait to find out more about him.
Togiak got to his feet, eager to get going. “So Truttle, which way are we headed to get to this spot you know of?” He thought for a minute. “And how far away is it? I may want to catch some more food if we are going to be traveling very far.”

Truttle was a bit consumed with the desire to snap and perhaps even give a little warning bite to these bears. His territorial instincts were flaring but he had to try to subdue that feeling and tolerate them if he desired to do something about Korovin. The other bear finally revealed himself as Midnight. Took him long enough. He thought to himself. Then nodded. "Rrr...There's a plateau with a steep climb 2 miles off. It has good view of some of the forest. It might take about when the sun reaches straight overhead. So if really hungry, you'd might wanna eat something filling before we go."

Togiak:
Knowing he would probably regret it later if he didn't, Togiak decided to grab another fish or two before they headed off. Standing on a rock that protruded out of the water, he scanned the bottom for signs of movement as he had done before. Thinking he saw a fish, he leaned closer to the water. Losing his balance, Togiak plunged face first into the cool water, scaring away what might have been his lunch.
Finding a spot that was a little more shallow, Togiak again looked around for some fish. Spotting another, he stuck his face underwater, snapped his jaws shut, and pulled it out. Togiak swam to the shore bank and ate the fish.
Walking back to the others, Togiak grinned, still dripping. "Alright, I'm ready now. Shall we go before it gets too late?"

BIC: Selena was glad that the five of them were headed to a safe place to talk about what to do next. She liked the idea of being on a high plateau and able to see all around her. She eagerly got to her feet as Togiak returned from finishing his breakfast; sopping wet. She was careful back off a feet few, certain that he was about to shake it off.

Midnight nodded agreeingly with Togiak. The group would have to go soon before any of korovin's 'men' turned up. "Alright then. Truttle, please lead the way." he said in a polite yet urged manner. There wasn't going to be any good in waiting much longer, and Midnight was now growing impatient...

Truttle nodded, "Alright then. Let's get going." He swiveled his head and looked around to check which direction it would be. Checking the direction of the wind to see which way their scent would be shifted in case they'd lead anyone to them. Then started moving along. They trudged along the outskirts of the lush forest until they had reached a broad plain with only scattered greens dotting the region. Some distance away was the plateau. It was high enough to over look most of the forest and plain. And it would be safe from predators too. Ringed in by high stone walls on every side but one, the path leading up to the plateau was a steep climb, and it was just wide enough for them to climb up one at a time. They would have to go up single file. After a hard two hour journey consisting of walking, and climbing... Truttle and the rest of the group finally arrived at the plateau. There were plenty of boulders lying around at the top that they could roll down onto any unwelcome visitors. This place was perfect! "Okay. We're here..."
Truttle plopped down onto his stomach and closed his eyes. drowsy from their expedition, he wanted to take a nap.

Moaki looked over the plateau, admiring the view they had and taking some time to sniff around all the boulders (as a curious young canine was apt to do). Finally settling down, the cub lay down in the shade of the largest rock and yawned.
"So, what now?" He asked, looking to the others. "We came an awful long way just to talk."

Togiak:
Finally reaching the top of the plateau, Togiak was tired. He could tell so were the others. The walk had only taken a couple hours but the constant climbing had worn him out. He gazed at the surrounding landscape, admiring the view. Togiak loved to be in higher places and he felt much safer here. There didn't seem to be many places that another animals could sneak up on them from, and the boulders looked to be a good defense. Finding an empty spot in the shade, he sat down and began etching random designs into the dirt using his claws.
He looked up as the wolf pup began to speak. "So what now? We came an awful long way just to talk." All Togiak wanted to do, at least for a little bit, was relax. Still not wanting to do any type of leading, Togiak glanced towards Truttle, flat on his stomach, to see if he had thought of anything to do once they had arrived. It almost looked as if Truttle had fallen asleep.
Togiak gently kicked a small stone towards Truttle to get him moving again. The stone bounced of Truttle's hind leg, but Togiak wasn't sure if he had even felt it.

After having reached the destination, Midnight noticed an overwhelming sense of tiredness coming over him. He decided to bask in the sun and look over the view surrounding the plateu. As he started doing so, he noticed the wolf pup enquiring about what to do next. After a moment's silence, Midnight replied: "Well, by the looks of everybody else.. I'd say we should rest first, and then talk. After all, we gotta catch our breath." he said, closing his eyes and curling up against a rock. He wasn't planning on sleeping, just relaxing, which wasn't going to be too difficult now that he was at a safe place.
A few minutes passed by without a word from anybody. A slight breeze ruffled Midnight's fur and stirred him from his rest. He opened his eyes to take a look around. Truttle still appeared to be asleep. The small amount of drool coming from Truttle's mouth reminded Midnight... he was thirsty. "Hey guys, I'm getting a little thirsty.." he started, getting up to walk.. "Anybody wanna join?" hey asked, looking around and making eye contact with the others (apart from the sleepy Truttle)...

OOC: Eww drool made you thirsty? XD
BIC:
Togiak:
Togiak didn't really feel like going to sleep. All he needed was to rest, at least for a little bit. The others however seemed to think differently. Truttle was still asleep on his stomach and soon Midnight laid down as well. Slowly getting bored, Togiak got up and paced around a little bit, then sat back down and examined everything around them.
It wasn't too long before Midnight woke up again. "Hey guys, I'm getting a little thirsty.. Anybody wanna join?" he said, looking around. Eager to do something other than sit there, Togiak took the opportunity to get away. "Sure I'll go with you. I think there may be some water right down there." he said, pointing his paw a little to the south of them. "It looks like water but, I'm not completely sure." he added. Togiak also beleived this would give them a chance to explore the area and become more familiar with it.
Togiak glanced at the still sleeping Truttle. He didn't know whether Selena and Moaki were going to accompany them, but he didn't want to leave Truttle here alone. Just in case, he decided to wake Truttle, to at least inform him they were leaving. Casually walking to Truttle's side, he gently nudged the big slumbering bear then jumped back, not too sure how Truttle handled being woken up.

BIC: Selena had been quiet through most of the trip to the plateau. In truth she was slightly in disbelief that she was in the company of three bears and a wolf pup.
When they reached the plateau, Selena was sore from walking so far but watched to see what the others were doing. To her relief everyone had the same idea, rest and sleep. Tiredly, Selena leapt up onto a near-by rock, curled up, and basked in the glow of the sun and closed her eyes.
A little while later she awoke, purring happily and rested. She looked down to see Togiak and Midnight talking about find water. Thirsty herself, Selena stretched sleepily and jumped down form the rock. "I'm coming too." she said as she watched Togiak nudge Truttle to tell them they were leaving.

Being a light sleeper, Truttle couldn't get a moment's rest with all the commotion going on. Groggily opening one blood stained eye he glared and growled. "Grrowff...why did we even make this trip? Now you want to go back down? Go on then. Maybe I can finally get some rest." (OOC: Sorry for being so grumpy. )

Moaki chuckled a bit at the larger bear's reaction to the other two before a yawn escaped from his open mouth. The wolf pup shook his head, now realizing the walk seemed to have worn him down more than he had thought.
"I think I'll take a little nap..." He said to the others as he stretched out on top of the largest unnocupied boulder. "Feel free to wake me up if...anythin...zzzzz..."
Moaki was fast asleep before finishing his sentence. The excitement and excersions of the day finally catching up to him. It wasn't long before he was kicking one leg as he peacefully napped away.
OOC: Sorry for not posting sooner everyone!

OOC: To Dryaen... well, it's liquid... which reminded Me I was thirsty. XD
BIC: Seeing that Togiac and Selena were going to come along, Midnight watched as Togiac told Truttle of their plans to get a drink. Midnight couldn't help but let out a small chuckle as the large Bear said: "Grrowff...why did we even make this trip? Now you want to go back down? Go on then. Maybe I can finally get some rest." -- "Well how else are we gonna get water?" Midnight asked Truttle light-heartedly. After a couple of moments of silence, he turned around ready to head back down and find a small source of water. Perhaps even a few nuts and berries... "We ready?" Midnight asked, turning his head to Togiac and Selena...
