1 x 1 with Stumpy

[Boomer]

"I'm not a pup." she grumbled, huffing a little, "I'm probably older than that girl." She then shook her head. "I know how to be careful." she added.

[Stumpy.]

"Sure, she's new, but the others have been around for much longer than you have. They've been doing this for years, and know what is best for your health, and your sister's. She's still recovering, ya know?" Cinder puffed out her feathers and sighed.
"You'll be able to move around more freely and the like once you're both healthier. Ya only been here for a few days, right?"

[Boomer]

"Besides being a little thin, everything checked out." she murmured. She finally looked up at Cinder. "Maria won't recover as well if I'm not there." she said, "We're twins, we've been together for twenty five years."

[Stumpy.]

"Ya don't seem to get what I'm saying, do ya? Ya can't just live every moment together, or one of ya is gonna be torn to bits if the other dies, gets caught, taken away, et cetera et cetera." Taking a moment to chose her words carefully, she continued,
"I'm not saying ya shouldn't care for each other, I'm just saying it's unhealthy to spend every moment of the day together. Ya gotta learn to be okay on ya own before you're forced to."

(Trying to work out an accent for Cinder and she just sounds like a pirate '>^>)

[Boomer]

Mary was quite tense as she kept pacing. She didn't want to think about them eventually dying; she was sure that the other would die shortly afterwards. She had always assumed she'd be the first one to go, with her being slightly older. Mary didn't know how to respond.

[Stumpy.]

"I don't mean to frighten you, but you gotta consider all the possibilities." Cinder glanced over her shoulder at Ace, who was practicing his tree climbing skills. Her gaze softened as it fell on the young 'mon, and she looked back at Mary.
"I know death isn't fun to talk about, but it's always something you need to be prepared for, at least in my view. But hey, that's just how I was raised, I guess."

(Wanna start kicking off the plot soon?)

[Boomer]

OOC: Ah, I was kinda waiting until everyone was more healthy.
BIC:
"Maria and I will worry about that when we're old." she said, "For now, we want to spend as much time together as we can." The death of their trainer was still fresh in their minds. Mary was getting more and more stressed the longer she was away from her sister.

[Stumpy.]

(Ah, alrighty. Gtg now. Probably won't be on much Friday.)

"I understand that. I'm not saying to not spend time together, I'm just saying to not be so dependent on each other. You've got pups to look after now. You gotta put them into your first thoughts. Moving them around bunch isn't very good for them." Cinder may not be an expert on relationships, but she knew a good amount about kids, and knew moving day-old pups/chicks/anything wasn't the best idea.

[Boomer]

OOC: Okay, g'night!
BIC:
"I do think and care about my pups." she said lowly, a growl in her throat. The stress was certainly making her much more aggressive than normal. The moment Juan came into the nursery to feed everyone, she charged the front of the pen, barking and snarling. Juan was a bit startled from her behavior change.

[Stumpy.]

Cinder jumped back, her feather puffing out in surprise.
"What in the distortion world is wrong with you!?" She snapped, appalled at the agressive frenzy. She backed away a bit, looking at Juan then back to the pen. She looked around for Ace. She spotted him near one of his favorite climbing spots. He'd turned around at the noise, and she waved him over. Ace ran over, wincing at the noise.
"What's going on, mama?" He asked, eyes wide.
"Nothing new. I was just calling you over so you could eat."
"Okay!"
