"Help?"

The word rang in Treering's mind. Honestly, everything that has led up to now...it's all so new. Ever since you fell into his life, spared him, you've shown him new things. New ways to think about things. Taken him further than he's ever traveled.

Staring at the small rabbit, Treering is sure he'll continue to follow you. This whole journey, you make it seem so very important.

Fivver bends low to the ground, staring back at you, "You want to help me?"

"I..." You're tail thumps beside you. "My dream of your Warren being destroyed. I can't be false. I saw you running, being chased by other Rabbits." You also lower your head, "Tell me...why? Why were you running?"

"A...vision."

Both you and Treering freeze.

"I had a vision. Blood, the field was c-covered in blood." Fivver's eye shut, physically cringing away from the memory. He rubs at his face with his two paws, voice coming out horse, "Like you, I saw something."

When he opens his eyes, they're clear.

"We needed to flee, far away...and find a new home."

"Th-That's it then!"

Fivver's head snaps over to Treering as the squirrel stands up, tail flickering wildly.

You watch your friend and he chirps.

"Fivver? Was it?" He looks at the rabbit, smiling, eyes twinkling.

Said rabbit nods once.

Treering grins, "We're going to help you, Fivver. Me and Red—" Both of them look at you and you fight the urge to flinch. "—We're going to help you find a new Warren."

The way he speaks...Fivver wilts, it's not a request. These two, they're going to help him whether he wants them to or not.

You would feel bad...if you didn't whole heartedly agree with Treering.

"I need to get back to my brother." Fivver looks up, and your heart clenches. He looks awful, eyes troubled. "...Please."

It's quiet.

If you help him find his brother. Well, I would fit for you when you help them find a new home. But... "What would stop you from running off with him if we do find him?"

You hate the gaze Treering cast on you.

You know it's unkind. You know how you sound. But...you're just trying to be realistic. Things have changed for you. Know that you know your dream was shared. That you both saw the end of the Rabbit Warren...You felt more confident? The fear and uncertainty...yeah they haven't left, but you're ready now.

You've already done the worst, and taken a chance.

You're ready to go on this new journey, and if this Rabbit tries to run— "I'll catch you. If you run I'll catch you again and again Fivver."

Fivver, despite the knowledge to never trust a fox...believes you. It's a promise, a wicken promise.
