Raysuki stretched out on her side, propping her head up with her hand. She smiled and said, "Thanks for the invitation but I've heard rumors of some kind of snake-man living in a swamp who the Humans are getting fed up with. I was going to go see if I could speak with him and perhaps convince him to come here or see if I can do anything for him. I was going to leave this evening too. There have also been some rumors of werewolves around a certain forest I was thinking of checking out depending on how things go with the snake-man. I'm still trying to decide whether to just go alone or take a small team. You know how snakes are when they think they're cornered. I doubt a snake-man would feel much differently." Dirk was one of her favorite people who had come to the valley recently. He was just a big sweet bear and he was fun loving just like she was.<br/><br/>She loved all the activity and different people who were coming in. It was a wonderful change from what life had been before in the peaceful valley. At least that was how she saw it. They were giving all these different people a new home where they could live safely and not worry so much about whether a Human hunting party was going to show up. Eventually they would have to deal with the Humans but it was going to be on their terms and a more fair fight than a large group or army against a small family or even an individual.
