✩ — With Silver missing, things had slowed down to a rather abrupt standstill. It was as though the entire Clan was on the edge of their seat, holding their breath, waiting for what would come next. Meddy was wishing with her entire being that Silver would return home safely. She was strong, but still not quite confident in herself to rush over to the Exiles to rescue her. Besides, someone needed to stay behind and keep an eye on the kids before they, too, got ideas. Even the Gaia could feel that something was wrong, the wisps whispering erratically whenever she was inside the tree, pleading and begging and crying in pain. Something was very wrong. Meadowpaw could feel it. But there was little she could do, considering how young and inexperienced she still was. But...she wanted to do something fun. For someone. Anyone. She wanted to make people feel better. And so the feline had been struck with the lightning of a rather fun idea. The feline had snuck down to Limpid Lake when no one was looking, and used the water to fill up several balloons. With a basket in tow, the feline took a seat behind the edge of the Gaia's trunk, peering out and watching for a passing stranger. Someone was coming! From this distance, though, it was hard to pinpoint who it was exactly. Ducking back quickly, the feline readied her ammo. And then, she tossed it straight at them, hoping that her aim was well enough that it hit.
One moment he had been walking, the next he was soaking wet.
Instinctively, the boy had whipped around and barked in alarm- who had thrown that? Why? But as he realized there was no immediate threat, he relaxed a bit, tail beginning to wag ever so slightly. With Silver gone, he had been rather aimless in his adventures. Magi was around, as were his siblings, but they were all feeling the effects of her disappearance. Sometimes when he was about to fall asleep he would see the blood splattered around the scene where she had disappeared. Jotaro shivered.
However, it seemed that someone was up to some tricks. Jotaro, while not a particularly playful type, desperately wished to welcome the distraction. He stuck his nose unceremoniously in the air, trying to discern a scent, and... ah! Over there! The pup bounded over to where Meddy was hiding behind the giant tree and shook his pelt, hoping to spray her with water.
"Good grief, Meddy," Jotaro chuckled, "That was cold."
✧ — Ever since Silver's disappearance, the pup hadn't quite felt himself; unusually concise and his tail wagging a little lower than usual. However, as he heard his brother's laughing tone a minute away, his ears perked up and he trotted over to the scene - to the sight of a very wet Jotaro. Linc couldn't help a laugh bubbling up from his throat. "Did she get you?" He asked rhetorically, still giggling.
✩ — Meadowpaw could be heard laughing from behind the large trunk of the tree, a paw covering her mouth in order to keep herself from exposing her position. But it was already too late. The feline poked her head out with a flick of her ears, a playful smile on her face. "Gotcha!" And it had been Jotaro, and Lincoln wasn't too far behind. She shrieked as the pups came racing towards her, Jotaro shaking his fur to unceremoniously drench her in water. Not on her watch. The feline quickly took two balloons in hand from her basket and tossed them in the vague direction of the pups, scampering away to avoid being retaliated against further.
✧ — Were they... seriously playing around? With water balloons. Joe wasn't sure what to think of it. She wasn't sure that she wanted to become soaking wet from hanging around them, though. "Let's not..." the hybrid grumbled as Meadowpaw threw two balloons with wild accuracy towards her brothers. Oh well - they deserved it. As long as she could stay uninvolved, she was happy.
