A bearded dragon scampered behind a small, black piglet. The two went on in silence, until the lizard grumbled, "Got a scent yet?"
"No," Answered the piglet. "Sorry, Roozu."
"That's alright, Meru," Huffed the lizard.
Roozu and Meru continued along, until Meru squealed and leapt out of the way. Roozu opened her mouth to ask what was the matter, but just then, something big slammed down against her slimy body.
Roozu grunted in pain, staggering out of the way as another paw just missed her face. Roozu flinched back and hurried behind a stone, watching a tiger cub bound away. Roozu blinked in confusion. "Was that Jinjaa?" She asked Meru, who just shrugged.
"Chippu's coming," Meru breathed, sitting silently again and watching. Roozu tilted her head towards where she faintly heard pawsteps. Suddenly, Chippu flashed by. Meru watched him, her eyes sparkling slightly.
"You have a crush on him, don't you?" Roozu asked once Chippu was out of sight.
"W-what? N-no, I…" Meru trailed off, glaring down at the ground. "..Er… yeah."
Roozu smirked. "Come on. Let's go find him." With that, the dragon and the pig hurried after the dog and the tiger.
