"Want to go wander around for a bit then," Phoenix said. "Now that you perked up."

"Sure, okay," said Ebony, "That sounds like a good idea."

Snot was still observing Amber and her father, from afar. Such a divide between them could prove disastrous if it was permitted to fester. Having taken upon himself the role of "liason", he decided that there was no other option but to grab the bull by the horns. He hauled himself up and proceeded over to where Amber had relocated herself, taking a deep breath before speaking.
"Amber," he began, "I think you and your father need to talk."
"They thought of everything." Daniel nodded. There was even a run-in shelter for the helos.

"Come on then," Phoenix said as she got to her tires.

"And what gave you the right to decide what I should do?" Amber snapped irritably, "It's none of your business, so leave me alone."

"That's what I call prepared," Delfina nodded in agreement.

"Okay," Ebony said as she got up and pulled out of the tent and into the camp, curiously looking about.

Phoenix pulled out. "Where off to first."

"I dunno..." shrugged Ebony, "Maybe wander around... See what's going on...?"

"Sure," Phoenix said as she shifted into gear.

Ebony nodded and weaved carefully between the tents, going slow so as to not bump into anybody.

Snotty remained persistent. "What goes on between you and your father could spill over into the capture operation, and it could wind up messy, with people and animals hurt or worse. Nobody wants to see that happen."
Daniel stopped as he heard an angry voice and a growling engine. "Oh, what now?"

Phoenix followed close behind Ebony, flicking her mirrors for a moment.

"Then I shouldn't have come," growled Amber, "My sister would've been a better choice. He gets along better with her than with me."
*****
"It's Strip's youngest daughter, Amber," said Delfina, "Doesn't sound like she's in a good mood."
*****
Ebony stopped suddenly, picking up angry vibrations with her empathy.

Strip decided that he couldn't let this go any longer, and leave to others what he figured he should be doing. He rose up and came over to face his angry daughter. "If you have to get angry at someone, go ahead and get mad at me."
"Girl has some issues." Daniel looked on with a frown. "Hope she doesn't let her problems become everyone else's problems, especially here and now."

"I think its Amber," Phoenix said.

Amber pulled back with a growl, seeing her father in front of her. "I am not mad at you, Dad," she said icily, "I'm mad at myself for ever coming along in the first place."
*****
"Amber's not her sister," murmured Delfina, picking up on the girl's loose thoughts, "She feels Sapphire's worth more to the family than she is."
*****
"I feel anger," said Ebony, shifting into gear, "Let's go see what's happening."
