Ever since Tiptoe helped her little salamanders hatch, she'd so been looking forward to having little ones of her own. News of upcoming little ones came sooner after having an encounter with Hop, who followed her around like a small puppy. Though she much enjoyed the attention, even if she didn't show it. Hop cared for Tiptoe, looking after her even before the news. The pair had grown close.

They were now traveling, excited to tell Tiptoes parents that the line would continue down into babies of her own. She leaned against Hop gently as they traveled, making small talk, her dear salamanders riding on Hop's back to join in on the fun.

Guardian had decided to enjoy the swamp from a different angle today and was making her way through the brush and growth, at the moment cracking open an egg and devouring the gooey innards of it with her long tongue.

As she did that she watched the pair going by her a curious flick of her tongue, egg forgotten. There was something about them that called to the marine iguana, and so...she followed them more intent on the kin than the salamanders.

Hop couldn't be more oblivious to the swamp around them, focused more on getting Tiptoe to their destination. Tiptoe, however, paused for a moment and looked around, "Do you hear that...?" Hop tilted his head, an ear flicking before shaking his head, "No? What is it?" Tiptoe turned and saw a speckle of blueish white, narrowing her eyes a moment, really thinking it was nothiing more than another forest creature. She thought for a moment, "Hang on..." She muttered before wandering a short distance, gathering up what she knew her salamanders enjoyed for a snack, laying it out on the ground in a sort of platter, then leaning against Hop again, "Okay." Hop looked confused, Tiptoe seeing the look and chuckling faintly, "There's a small creature. I don't know if it's hungry, but who can turn down a snack?" Hop chuckled and shook his head before leading the way again, letting whatever was following them enjoy in peace.

Of course the marine iguana went after what had been left to eat and it took its time eating a few choice pieces before...it was scrabbling off after the pair once more, tongue flicking out now and again. Darting through the bush to get ahead of them, it came out of the brush with a loud crashing and snapping standing in the pathway staring them down as it waited, tongue flicking again.

Hop jumped from the loud crash, blinking at the iguana, "Tip..." Tiptoe shook her head, "Relax. They aren't harmful... Normally." A smirk crossed her mouth at the small panic she caused in Hop before approaching the iguana and kneeling down slowly, "Hello there."
