Usui looked at Timby gratefully and nodded his head. He’d appreciate Timby’s help in finding this gembound. The other sheep was excited too. He jumped up and down, wagging his little tail eagerly. The lion was very touched to say the least, at the enthusiasm of the sheep. As Wynry bolted away, the lion cub scrambled after him as well and dug his paws into the earth as the other stopped abruptly. He cast a quizzical look at the hyperactive sheep. He suggested them splitting up. The youth cast one glance to Timby, then back at this sheep. "Nope, we stick together. But how are we going to find more sheep if we don’t even know him?” He looked at Wynry and Timby, curious to see how sheep thought. And no way was he going to let them split and become meals to some other creature. A strong sense of protectiveness overcame Usui. He wanted to protect their gentle, trusting natures.
