An even smaller portion is actually allowed to get anywhere near that gate. The gate in question is a small portcullis on the eastern exterior wall and leads directly into the castle's extensive gardens. The lands approaching the gate would be best described as a marsh, and seven snipers had the duty of watching this marsh all day to ensure that only the furs authorized were approaching. This of course, assumed they saw the individual before they reached the gate. "Hi Dave!" the small fox-bat yelled as she leaped from the hedge she had been hiding in, using her wings to propel herself towards the guardsman standing next to the gate. Dave was quick to react and dodged the flying teenager while simultaneously drawing his sword. The attacker hit the ground but turned her momentum into a roll, ending by turning around to face the now alert guard-dog. As he registered who had tried to tackle him, Dave relaxed and returned his blade to its scabbard, before addressing the petite teenage hybrid before him. "You are extremely lucky I didn't immediately retaliate Andri. You really have to stop sneaking through the wetlands." Andri grinned at Dave, before calling his bluff. "You know all too well you're the lucky one. I could've just not yelled at all. You wouldn't be so tough if I'd pinned you to the ground." "Okay, fair point. So, what brings you here today Miss Vale? I wasn't told you were visiting." "Wasn't a planned visit, just decided I wanted to come see if Seb was available to play. He isn't responding to my texts, so I just came by myself," Andri explained, pulling out her phone to check it once again as she did. "Any chance you could ask on the comms for me?" "Of course, give me just a moment." Dave turned and held his paw up to his ear before speaking into a microphone that was hidden in his uniform. "Code 12, Andrea Vale, location and availability of The Passenger." It didn't take long for a reply to come and for Dave to turn again and unlock the gate. "He's in the southern gardens with another guest but asks that you join them there." "Thanks Dave! See you later!" "Of course, and next time please do not ghost through the marsh. It would be better for everyone." Andri giggled as the gate was closed behind her. They both knew she would continue to sneak her way to the gate, and that he would continue to berate her for it. After checking her phone again, the young fox-bat began to make her way towards the south gardens, once again using her pseudo-wings to propel herself in small leaps. It wasn't long before Andri saw the familiar mop of dark red hair that the crown prince sported. Accompanying the border collie prince was another cub, both of them topless as they were throwing a frisbee around in a small clearing. Andri watched for a short while before she deposited her belongings and her own shirt in a pile near the other's possessions. She waved as she approached, causing Sebastian to miss his catch in favor of running to tackle his friend. Andri allowed the collie to tackle her, before playfully shoving him off and standing back up. During this time, the third cub had made their way over, and Andri was able to see that it was a young doe just around the same age as herself and Seb. "Hiya Andri! Wanna join us playing frisbee? We just got started," the prince enthusiastically asked, bounding a little as he did. "Well, yes. But only after I get to meet your friend," Andri replied, before turning to the doe cub and extending her paw. "Hi, I'm Andri. Nice to meet you." "I'm Yazmin," she replied nervously as she shook Andri's paw. "Yazmin's family is visiting from overseas for some diplomatic party or something. It's all a bunch of boring stuff," Seb explained, grabbing Andri's other paw and pulling her back towards the clearing. "Now come on! Let's play before it gets dark!" --- As the sun began to set, the three cubs were all winding down from their day of playing in the gardens. "That was a lot of fun. I'm so tired out," Seb wheezed out between pants. "You just need to be in better shape," Andri retorted, shoving the prince so that he fell over. "Hey! No fair, you can't shove me," he responded as he got back up. As Seb got back onto his feet, he suddenly perked up as he got an idea. "Who wants to go for a swim?" "That would be a good idea, except I don't have my swimsuit." "I don't have mine either, but we don't need them. It's a private pond after all. That okay with you Yazmin?" Seb turned to where Yazmin had been standing, but the young doe had already run down the hill towards the pond. Seb wasted no time in following her, leaving Andri standing alone at the top of the hill. "Well, guess there's no reason not to. We'll all be mostly underwater anyway," she muttered to herself before also setting off down the hill. Andri reached the pond to find her two friends already completely naked and sitting on the end of a short dock. Andri stripped the last of her clothing off and made her way out to join the other two. The hybrid youth sat down next to the nude doe, doing her best to respect her privacy by not looking. "Aww shit!" The peaceful attitude was disturbed as Sebastian yelled, having lost his grip on his phone. Andri couldn't help but turn to look at the source of the outburst, and soon afterwards realized she had also learned an unexpected fact about her new friend. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t | \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
