They walked for what seemed like ages, until Russina halted abruptly and raised her paw. "Guys. I think they're around here somewhere."

Reina turned and eyed her quizzically. "How can you tell?"

"I can just... sense it, somehow," the squirrelmaid whispered, grabbing her ramsons and stuffing them up her nose. "Call it intuition or whatever. I know the Flitchaye are here." She didn't look too worried; in fact, she was rather excited.

Reina nervously looked around her, instinctively touching the dirk hilt at her hip. Now that she was really paying attention, she noticed a faint, sickly-sweet smell that definitely hadn't been there before. The Flitchaye knockout stuff, she thought, following Russina's lead and stuffing the ramsons in her nose.

Anpan plugged her nose and grinned. "Otay, one of you sneak ahead and try to find out where they are. I'll fall back and circle around, and the whichever of you doesn't go forward, keep a wary eye out. I'll whistle if I get into trouble." With that, she stepped back into the woods, fading into the darkness of Mossflower.

Bitterly jittery, and not very glittery.

"Okay, I'll go ahead and find out where they are," Russina volunteered, barely keeping her excitement under control. "You stay here, Reina." The squirrelmaid slipped off into the trees.

At first Reina was glad she was the one staying behind, because she didn't want to run into trouble without the others. But then she almost wished she'd gone ahead. The surrounding forest was giving her the creeps. She was extremely apprehensive, worried that any moment a group of primitive weasels in weeds would surround her.

Russina, meanwhile, had taken to the trees. She scanned the ground, trying to spot any of the underground-trapdoor-thingies the Flitchaye were famous for hiding in.

Anpan snuck through the woods, giving a wide berth to anything that vaguely resembled flitchaye. At last she came to the other side of their realm, and there she sat and waited, for what, she did not know.

Suddenly, Russina spotted some creatures moving just ahead. She cautiously got closer, and her suspicions were confirmed when she saw that they all wore trailing vines and weeds. Right then they were eating and squabbling over food...bird eggs and roots, by the looks of it.

Russina had seen enough. She turned and tree-hopped back to where she'd left Reina, leaping down from a branch to land next to her. Reina jumped back in shock, putting her paw to her chest. "You about gave me a heart attack!"

"Sorry.... Hey, I found the Flitchaye!" Russina said excitedly. "It's a perfect time to attack! They're totally not expecting us!"

"Okay...we'd better get Anpan, then," Reina asked, glad she had a reasonable excuse to stall for time.

Russina put her fingers to her lips and whistled. "Anpan!"

"The Flitchaye might hear you!" Reina objected.

"Nah. They're way over there," Russina said, pointing.

That didn't make the ferretmaid feel much better.

Anpan heard the whistle and crept back to her friends. "What? Find them?"

"Yup!" Russina answered. "They're over there a ways, eating. Perfect time to attack, if you ask me."

Anpan grinned. "Ok, let's do it!" She pulled out her blades and started off, in the wrong direction.

"Anpan? Wrong way." Russina gently said, staring after the ottermaid with a slightly perplexed look on her face. Who the heck taught her her directions?

Reina, who was still nervous, wasn't even paying attention to her friends. She was quite worried. Sure, they'd routed an entire vermin camp the night before, but that was in the dark, and they had fire on their side. The Flitchaye...they were primitive, but dangerous. And all Reina could think of right then was the fact that there were only three of them against the entire tribe, and the fact that she had some extremely garlicky-smelling ramsons up her nose. All in all, she wasn't feeling very keen on fighting the Flitchaye at that moment.

Anpan grinned back at her friends. "Whups. Bad me." She turned and walked in the correct direction, promptly tripping over a root. "Ow... Sheesh."

 "Anpan, are you okay?" Russina asked, rushing ovre to Anpan. . . And getting running smack-dab into a big branch.

Reina snapped out of her thoughts and hurried over. "Are you guys okay?" she asked, a bit concerned.

Anpan stood up and brushed herself off, giggling. "Heehee, sorry, my sense of direction isn't very good when my nose is plugged..." She blinked, and shook her head before blinking again. "Bloodwrath takes it's toll..." She turned to Russina. "You ok? That looks painful..."

Russina had been knocked flat on her bum. Other than a bug knot that was forming, she was fine. "Ow." She muttered, touching the spot. "Um, I think I'm okay. Maybe." Then she collapsed on her side.
