A small desoriented ball of dark fluff, or rather fur peeked carefully around the corner of very watchful gathering. Graceful shining figures dismounting equally graceful horses gave the small "appearin"animal being hope and it meowed pleadingly making the figures look around still meowing plaintively the cat wobbled a bit more out of the bush.
One of the riders, clearly a leader closed the distance and crouched slowly when from behind the battered Tabby sounded several smaller voices mewing painfully.
