Cretatous Survival (Ash)

Scowler nuzzled Oceana lovingly, the male sleeping for several hours before waking, allowing his mates to both sleep the play started to play with the hatchlings.

The females both laid with their mate once they finished grazing, Oceana leaning against Scowler and dozing off.

Scowler grazed for quite some time before he laid down with a yawn.

Oceana chuckled as she watched them, continuing to graze quietly.

Scowler made a playful noise of complaint when the water splashed onto him.

Trics grazed next to the male, shaking herself off lightly.

Scowler chuckled and let Trics win, the male beginning to graze between the females.

"I was hot" Trics grunted and butted against the male softly.

Scowler nuzzled Oceana lovingly before looking at Trics with a chuckle, "decided to take up swimming?" he teased.

Oceana gave a soft sound as she rubbed against the male, grooming him softly.

Trics returned sopping wet and she grazed beside her mates.

Scowler watched Trics in slight amusement, before he moved over to Oceana, nuzzling her and rubbing against her affectionately.

Trics went to get a drink, slowly laying in the water and zhe rolled herself lightly, getting her whole body wet.

It only took the herd a few more hours to arrive at the mating grounds, although as they did, majority of the herd laid down for a final rest.

Oceana stayed at Scowler's left flank while Trics stayed at his right, both females checking on the hatchlings often.

Scowler kept an eye on his mates, hatchlings and the herd, the large male seemingly coping better.

Both females stayed close to Scowler, the hatchlings finally walking with the family.

Scowler nuzzled Oceana back, giving her a few minutes to wake up before the large trike roared and signaled for the herd to start moving again.

Oceana woke and stood groggily, nuzzling the male softly, not fully awake but waking a bit more as she shook herself out.

Scowler allowed Oceana a few hours to sleep before he gently woke her up

Trics returned his nuzzles as she ate, her eyes still dull and saddened, but that was a given, she atleast was accepting what happened.

Scowler nuzzled Trics softly, watching her eat, each time she did, scowler nuzzled her comfortingly

Trics said nothing, but this was her way of giving in, staying close to Scowler as she ate.

Scowler nuzzled his mate loving when he joined her, rubbing against her in turn

Trics then goanced back the way they came, her gaze saddening and she sighed, slowly standing and she walked to Scowler, rubbing against him before quietly grazing with the male.

Scowler looked up as he grazed, watching Trics for a moment.
