Housepets!

"Flyyn, if she was going to eat you, she would have done it by now. Besides, dogs like rabbit, too." Hutch commented on Flyyns anxiety.
Hutch quickly chokes back any further mentions of rabbit season, and changes subject.
"Hello, Watson. I believe you are the champion of today's game."

"Well, there's Ryze and I." Pyre replied.

"Oh! I'm also a cat, ehehe." Mercury purred to the scarf

Hlaoroo wrote:Flynn's nervousness increase as he notices Senka frequently looking at him. He's acutely aware that he's the only prey species in the group and tries to resist the urge to bolt, knowing that bolting is what triggers a lion's chase and kill instinct. He is unable, however, to resist the instinct to give a quick warning stamp as he tries to look anywhere but into the lioness's eyes.

Elliot notices Flynn's fear and decides to calm him. He grabs Flynn by the paw and drags him towards Senka.

"Alright you scaredy bunny, it's time you stopped being scared of a new friend."

"I guess everyone is here then."

"She didn't eat me," Chip stated from her warm, comfortable, Jackal-scarf.
"Why wood Miss Senka eet a skarfe?" Leslie wondered in confusion.

Patting Leslie on the shoulder, "I think his scarf has a hitchhiker, Leslie." Turning towards Elliot, "Elliot! Don't go traumatizing Flynn."

"Ooooohhhh," Leslie breathed, thinking hard. "I thort I'd herd that voice before. It's that Mister Mowse I met earlier"
"Oh, he better be joking about that 'mister' thing this time," Chip complained.

"No, I don't think there was anything else. Thank you very much ma'am! You're definitely the nicest very we've ever visited. Oh that's what I forgot, can I buy the flea treatment up front too?" Sabrina says enthusiastically.
"Thank you, see ya next year!" Blick adds. She puts her lollipop in her mouth and helps Sabrina get up out of the chair. Once her mom's up, Blick hops over to the door and holds it open.

"You're very welcome, Miss Van Gorge. You sure can get flea stuff too." Smantha leads the way out to the shopfront/reception/waiting area and after helping Sabrina choose the size of the packet of Guard-dog she wants, shows her the flea products.
"These are the spot-ons but we don't normally recommend them unless there's actually an infestation. This is our favourite brand of shampoo. It's a little more expensive than the others but it kills lice, ticks and mites as well as fleas. You just use it like any other flea shampoo. It wouldn't hurt for Blick to wear a flea collar too. They work well as a prevetative." Samantha points out the products as she speaks.

Flynn gives Leslie a quick squeeze. "I know. It's just my instincts." He barely notices Rusty, his attention all on Senka.
"Yes but you're tame and used to being a pet. She's not." he answers Hutch too quietly for Senka to hear.
As tha jackal grabs his paw, Flynn stumbles along dumbly, his nerves now almost paralysing him and his heart pounding in his ears as he gets closer to the lioness and can see the tip of a canine tooth poking from under the lip.

After choosing the Guard-dog, Sabrina picks out the shampoo and a flea collar, and brings it up to the desk. Meanwhile, Blick is laying across several chairs with her eyes closed. She, amazingly has finished her lollipop already, and is chewing on the stick.

"I think this'll be it for today. What would the total be for this and the appointment?" Sabrina asks, grasping for her purse.

As they approached the bush,

"Hey Senka, meet Flynn. He's a friend okay?"

Elliot goes behind Flynn and pushes him.

"Go on and say hi Flynn. Don't worry, she won't bite pets."

"How about prey?" Flynn mutters to Elliot as he pushes him.
As he finds himself directly facing Senka it takes him a few moments to get the next words out.
"H-h-hi. N-n-n-n-n... n-n-n-n" Flynn gulps.
"N-nice to m-meet you. He tentatively forces himself to offer a paw.

Leslie watches intently, hoping he doesn't have to try to stop anything as he was sure the injections wouldn't hurt as much as a Senka bite.
-----------------
Chip poked her head up, counted the cats and decided to stay right where she was. "Not that I'm afraid, of course," she told Elliot, "It's just nice and warm in here."

Senka grasps the rabbit's hand firmly.
"Pleasure to meet you too." She says, smiling with a theatrically toothy grin. Her claws come out ever so slightly, just enough for Flynn to feel them prickle against his hand.
She also takes this as an opportunity to step out from the shelter of the bush, displaying herself fully.

Elliot hugs Flynn and Senka.

"That wasn't so hard was it?"

"Elliot,your pushing it."

69eist wrote:Elliot hugs Flynn and Senka.

"That wasn't so hard was it?"

"Elliot,your pushing it."

"And squashing it(!)" complained the scarf with a giggle.

Flynn feels the claws enveloping his paw and digging into his flesh and he looks up into the toothy maw. He tries to stutter out a few more words and then suddenly finds himself squashed between the two predators, both much bigger than himself, and unable to move. This proves too much for him and his body involuntarily does the only other thing a rabbit's body will do under intense fear.

Flynn collapses, out cold, for the second time in three days.

Leslie pushed forward to catch his friend as he knew heads dropping from height sometimes had bad things happen when they hit things. He got his arms under Flynn's armpits but staggered back and fell over under the weight. "Kan sumwun help?" he asked from under a Rabbit.
-----------------------
"Shall we get water, Elliot?" Chip asked, peering at the scene over the scarf.

"I told you so."

Faust picks up Flynn.

"Let's bring him over to the fountain."

Elliot gets annoyed.

"........rrreejjjeefreejjeehhh........."

Senka frowns, looking at the unconscious rabbit for a moment. She then turned her head to Elliot and Faust.
"I think it was the hug." She agreed.

69eist wrote:"I told you so."

Faust picks up Flynn.

"Let's bring him over to the fountain."

Elliot gets annoyed.

"........rrreejjjeefreejjeehhh........."

"Fanks, Mister Fawst," Leslie said as Flynn was lifted off him. "Aww," he added, brushing down the back of his legs, "Got durty. Mister Leroy won't be happy." He trotted after the Jackals.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Being better able to feel heartbeats, pulses and the such due to being closer to them, Chip scurried down onto the comatose Rabbit and checked his breathing and pulse as the two brothers drew nearer to the fountain.

Koa thought for a second, and couldn't think of anything. "I'm fine for now."

"Um," Leslie said uncertainly, "I fink I shud go and get Mr Flynn's parents." So saying, he took off, tripped over a string, yelped as he skinned his knee, picked himself up again and took off at best possible speed for Flynn's house, jumping the gate as he went.

Hutch followed closely behind the jackals and the mountain lion, watching the unconscious rabbit.
I've got some smelling salts. He offers.

"Oh my gosh, I hope Flynn's okay." Rusty said, looking at the unconscious rabbit rather worried, "Maybe one of us should go ask one of the nearby shops to phone the vets?"

Moving at reckless speed, Leslie had covered the distance from the park to Flynn's house in double quick time. He sprinted up the drive in his concern, straining his endurance to the limit. He reached the porch, realized he was going far too fast and skidded to a halt face first in the door which sounded a large THUD! He shook his head to clear it after checking all his teef were still there. "Owie," he said, before putting his hand on the frame and bending over to pant heavily.

Flynn collapses, out cold, for the second time in three days.

"That's not good at all." Pyre said.

"Oh jeez!" Mercury cringed when Flynn fell, "There's a stream nearby, if that's a good enough source of water."

"Lead the way mercury."

"I guess it was the hug...."

Hlaoroo wrote:"For the products, the vaccine and the appointment, the total comes to $173.84. How would you like to pay?"

"Oh wow! That's uh lot cheaper than in the city! I'll pay wit credit, if that's ok." Sabrina replies, getting out her card.
She swipes and puts in her pin, it beeps to inform Sabrina that she was approved.
"I can't thank ya enough, Dr. Samantha. You're definitely the best we've ever visited. We'll see ya next year!".
With that, Sabrina picks up her packages and calls to Blick. Blick had started to nod off, and when Sabrina beckons for her, she shoots up, completely startled. Blick gets up, opens the door for Sabrina, and then takes the packages once the pair are outside.

Kandi comes walking into the park, going over to where the pets have gathered into a circle about one on the ground.
I was coming to see if you were ready for lunch Senka, but it seems that you have scared something up already.
She kneel's down an checks over the fallen rabbit, feeling for a pulse at his neck. Kandi breaths a sigh of relief. no bite or claw marks on the rabbit.
So what happened here, before this one collapsed?

"He got hugged." Senka explained.

"I was only trying to help!"

"Doctor, My little brother was trying to relieve Flynn's fear of Senka. Sadly, he collapsed in the middle of a "friendly" hug."

Roarin wrote:"He got hugged." Senka explained.

Kandi looks up, from the prone bunny
By you?

Ah i see.. you have to be careful with rabbit pets, You can actually scare them to death.
But what happened here is also an natural adaptation. They just shut down, when they feel there is no hope of escape, so they don't have to go through the pain and terror of being killed.

Kandi pulls the rabbit up into her lap, as she sits on the ground.
Could you all back off a bit, he is going to need a calm, predator free setting when he comes back around.
Kandi rubs his shoulders and down along his arms. feeling his bunny soft fur rubbing across her hands.
as she tries to coaxingly massage the rabbit back into consciousnesses.

Blick helps Sabrina into the car, then gets into the back. The car revs to life, scaring a couple birds in the forest. Sabrina pulls out of the parking lot and heads towards the edge of town.
"So we're picking up the cat from his house now?" Blick asks once they pass the parks.
"Yep. He's supposed ta have everythin he needs for the next few days, so the ride back might be a bit cramped. Sorry." Sabrina replies from the front seat.
"That's fine, he's going to be in the guest room right?" Blick inquires.
"Mmm-hmm, is it ready for him?" Sabrina answers.
"No but I can fix it up for him when we get home." Blick offers. Sabrina nods.
"Now he's very old, Blick, so you treat him nice and with respect. Alright?" Sabrina warns.

Blick thinks about their new guest the rest of the drive. Sabrina turns on the radio to her favorite station, KIRK:the alternative rock station, to end the long silence.

Mercury was ready to march off to find the stream, but chose to stay when the human showed up. The cat backed away as directed, consciously trying not to bump into anyone

Elliot heads into some bushes as Faust follows.

"Darn it."

"Elliot, there was no way you could've known that he would collapse like that. I understand you were trying to help but..."

"In the end I just made it worse. I just..... wanted to make him feel better..."

Elliot sits down and frowns realizing that things would've gotten worse. Faust sits besides him and pats him on the shoulder.

"Elliot.... Relax, I think we're making Chip feel uncomfortable."

Seeing the incoming human, Chip zipped back up to Elliot's shoulder and sat there.

"Some plans work and some don't, Elliot " Chip said, trying a smile, "it's the thing about life we can't evade. Your intentions were good and might even help after he comes around and finds himself fine, eh? Know this though - If I were a big? I'd be hugging you now!" the smile grew broader before she looked back at Flynn. "So that's a Doctor Stag Moose, eh?"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leslie waved a hand in front of his face to make sure he'd not gone cross-eyed as he wheezed. This was the reason he didn't run fast for long - especially when his knee hurt a bit - how come he'd only just thought of that? Hadn't - they - heard - him - 'knock'? He tried the rappy thingy.

Hearing the bang and then the knocking on the door, both humans hurry to open it and are stunned to see Leslie with a bleeding knee, bruised nose and wheezing.
"Leslie! What happened? Are you OK? Come in, we'll patch you up."

Samantha processes the payment and then after graciously accepting the compliment, farewells her new patient and her owner before leaving Sandy in reception and heading out the back to finish the neverending pile of paperwork.

"Alrighty then. I'll see you shrotly." Paul heads back down the stairs and after checking in on Moonbeam and Rocky on the way past, heads back to check on the patients in the cages again.
"Still here, Doc? That's very kind of you, keeping Nadia company. How are you feeling now, Nadia?" Paul begins checking over Nadia's vitals again.

Leslie accepted for the moment - he couldn't quite talk yet after all - and swallowed to catch his breath once inside. "Fl...Fly...Flynn..." he wheezed. "In...in <huh>...pl...play...park... f...faint...fHUH...fainted..." he finished, before coughing twice.
