The touch of fear @Little Doggo's aura sent to Ruby made the crimson cat lower her ears flat against her head, looking at her distressed sister with a faint and reassuring smile as she approached. "Just a little." She looked at her sister's tears being used to help her, and the Whistle slipped a sigh, looking at the small girl soothing her wounds, until she eventually fell next to her, making a quite chuckle escape Ruby's lips as she held her sister closer.
"Thank you, Bao. You did amazing... As scary as it was..." She hummed, then glancing at the two fungi folk that were still far from them. "They are safe, yes. Thanks to you." Ruby added, looking at the two that approached.

Oek said, keeping the small fungi near and protected, but at some point, the small fungi slipped away from the hold, approaching the two sisters, it looked at them for a moment in silence.

Then, it plopped its 'hands' against each of their's foreheads. Ruby blinked. "Hey?"

Retracting the 'hands', it reached for a small, shimmering cyan mushroom cap, gently placing it on top of Doggo's head and smiling before rushing back to the fungi.

It warned, lifting the small fungi off the ground as if craddling it, and crawling away from the scene, leaving the two sisters.
Ruby slipped a sigh, closing her eyes for a moment. "Yeah. No more bugs..." She laughed, looking at her sister as her eyes opened. "Let's go home then? We still need to dinner... But first, let's leave this place." She suggested.

"..!"
Retracting the 'hands', it reached for a small, shimmering cyan mushroom cap, gently placing it on top of Doggo's head and smiling before rushing back to the fungi.

"... We go... Now... Be careful."
It warned, lifting the small fungi off the ground as if craddling it, and crawling away from the scene, leaving the two sisters.
