"Fellow foxes," He said, in a disguised British accent, "Who do I have the pleasure of meeting thine acquaintances"

"Whatever you're selling, we aren't buying" Tuskan turned to him, giving a snarl of concern.

"Tuskan, leave him be, he's probably lost or confused"

"Neither am I, but one does not simply need one such as yourself to speak for him." Majoto snarled back.

Tuskan's eyes dart at him, staring daggers.

"Insult her again and you'll be sorry." He barked.

"Tuskan!" Clover is surprised, that someone such as Tuskan would defend her honour

"Tuskan!" Clover is surprised, that someone such as Tuskan would defend her honour.

"Gee, one does have a knot in one's tail, doesn't one?" Majoto chuckled and was knocked over. Tuskan's paw stood on top of his scruff.

"Ah, Ah fine. I am not British. Just get off me and you won't get hurt." Majoto choked as Tuskan recedes back to Clover's side. 


"Are you hurt, Wolf?" She asks him.

"Your boyfriend here only hurt my pride. The one thing I never thought I could hurt. Throat's a bit sore too." Majoto said.

"Who are you?" Tuskan asked.

The Wolf looked puzzled. He did not know who these foxes were and did not know if they knew about him.

Making a name up on the spot he said, "Silva"

"Silva? That's unusual." Clover said.

"What's unusual is that you're surprised by my name." He said back.

Tuskan advanced, saying under his breath, "Easy, now"

"And I'm not her boyfriend, we're just two foxes trying to get home." Tuskan said.

"I see, and where is your humble abode?" Majoto, as Silva, asked.

"It's a little village near O..." Clover is stopped by Tuskan as they talk in private.

"Clover, we don't know this guy. He could be a spy for all we know." He said.

"Or he can help us get home. Perhaps he can lead us to the rapids." She said optimistically.

"You always see the stream as half full, don't you?" He said.

"And you're too busy drinking out of it to understand." She laughed and nudged his shoulder.

The two turn back to Silva.

"We live in a small village called Spruceside Acres. A bear has told us that if we cross the rapids at SunRock Falls, there's a timber truck that will take us straight there." Clover said.

"Sounds like you've got to find a way to get there. I know this place quite well and can help you along the route. It's not too far." Silva says.

"Great, let's go."

The three walked off to the rapids, followed along by Bob the chameleon who tried to warn them about Majoto.

"Hey, wait. Why are you with him? That's..."

"GO HOME! Little Lizard, before I rip out your gizzard!" Silva turned around and barked at the chameleon, who ran off.

"He probably got spooked by something" Tuskan said to Clover. They laughed.
