Joe

The little elephant had grown. But was still small compared to the larger elephants. Though his Tusks had already started t come in. He let out his own sound and then looked around for either his mother so he could nurse for he nurses until ages 3-4. He was over 30 months now. He is two years and a half. He still needs milk for about another half year. If his surrogate mother was not present he would look for his adoptive sibling

Yzunala

The young white/black rhino cross calf stumbled through the temple. She was missing her mother. She had been out for some time but knew that she would be back soon. Or at least she hoped she would be back soon. She was in search of her adoptive brother, Joe.

Her weak eyes didn't offer much help, but it wasn't long until she caught his scent and happily bouldered her way toward him. When he came into sight she smiled and threw down her horn. Waving it back and forth playfully before coming up to the elephant and pushing against him with her shoulder in play.

Joe

He trumpeted to soon find her. He let her push him and then he swung his trunk lightly. he finally had full control over unlike when he was younger it would go and hit her as hard as it wanted but now he could control it.

Yzunala

Playing, she nipped lightly at his trunk then nudged up against him in a sibling way. "Nice to see you brother. How have you been?" She said, now staring at his little tusks. She giggled at them for their small size, but her horn was not impressive yet either. Being but a nub at the end of her face and an erosion between her eyes.

"Mother is coming home soon! I hope. Daddy said so." She was almost yipping like a happy dog. Turning to her father in the distance.

Alderon was watching the others before turning his eyes onto the elephant and his daughter. Smiling slightly he gave a grunt before returning his attention onto the larger group. "See!" the calf was happy and couldn't wait for mommy to get back.

Joey

He nudged her.I Hope so Im hungry!he spoke.I know it is almosttime for me to stop drinking milk but i want to savor the tasteHe let his trunk hang over her on her shoulders

Yzunala

She smiled. "I'm hungry too." and as if on cue her stomach made a small growl. She looked up to her brother and smiled. "I probably am getting to old as well, But I don't know if I'm ready for grass and plants yet." She giggled. Watching as the groups left.

Joey

He nodded.I know ill have to stop for im sure mother wont be able to tolerate my tusks when they get longer
