Baird flicked his ears forward as the sound of hooves reached him, he looked to the skies again, panic in his green gaze. He let another sharp bark out desperately calling to Gelar. He lowered his muzzle in time for the other canine to come into view. She looked to be heavily pregnant, the horse that she rode easily bore her weight though. The equine seemed to know exactly how to react to his rider and he sank to the floor, all four legs folding underneath him, allowing the woman to disembark. Baird raised a hand-paw in greeting, managing to wipe the panic from his face in time, or so he thought, "G'day ma'am. Beaut of a day, ain't it?" He drawled, allowing his muzzle to bow a little in respect. He had stopped his forward motion and was stood a few paces from the rotund woman, his hand-paws now crossed behind his back. He was about to comment on her obvious pregnancy when, like sarcasm sensors, Pan and Gelar dropped from the trees and thudded into him. The quoll landed on his back, her sharp claws digging into his fur and skin, her two pups jumped as she landed, her sudden appearance startling them. Gelar landed on his head heavily, his clawed feet tangling in Bairds blonde headfur. Baird jumped a mile, a yelp of surprise erupting from his maw.
He clutched at his chest where he could feel his heart pounding wildly. He panted slightly as he looked back up to the woman, trying to see if the appearance of two strange creatures had startled her. She looked to be close to her time, Baird was no expert at these things, but her belly was well rounded, he had no wish to be delivering a strange womans pups due to his companions actions. "Sorry about Gelar and Pan, they think they're regular comedians. They didn't startle you too much, did they?" He enquired, he couldn't help flicking his verdant eyes to her belly.
