Nocturnal window shopping

But before that, an afternoon stroll.
An afternoon badass strut.
Just some pretty girls in setting sunlight.
Keeping watch for a napping packmate.

Ditto (there's a Blue sleeping on the roots on that tree, she's pretty well camoflaged).

And so, for this night the pack has a little fieldtrip planned. They know how to escape their enclosure, they just usually don't bother to because there's free food and enough to do there. But there is a... let's say mall nearby that they've gotten curious about, so they decided to go check it out.

Blue: Alright, stay alert, there may still be some humans around. And remember, we need to be back by morning.

Indo: You know what, I think I'll stay at the edge of the human territory and guard you.

Blue: You don't have to, I doubt you'll spot any lingering humans any better from here. Just come with us.

Indo: But if there are humans there, they'll spot me easier, because I'm bigger.

Blue: Are you scared?

Indo: No... maybe. A little.


 

They stick to the outskirts, and after scanning the place a few times with his thermal sense, Indo joins in, too. Looks clear.

Lots of interesting things to explore at the backs of stores. Lots of interesting-smelling trash, for one.


Well, since there's no one around, let's look at the fronts, too.




Delta and Indo stopping for a chat.

Indo: So how much time do we still have? This is actually really fun.

Delta: Judging by the position of the moon... looks like plenty.

Regrouping at the nearby riverbank before heading back home.
"The smooth rock is still a bit warm from the hot day, which is just right with the cool night breeze. Wow, humans live in such luxury! Don't know what they need all those other structures for, but this thing's nice."

Edited screenshots are number 3 (to erase a blade of grass clipping distractingly through Blue's torso and ruining the badass vibes), 8, 9, 10 (just to brighten Indo's eye a bit to bring it out more), 13 or 14 I forgot which (to erase a feeder slightly in frame, Blue's head is covering it in the 12th one) and the last one (which is cropped like that because I kept waiting for a Velo to walk over to the empty left half of the area I'd framed, with Indo having been on the right when I took his part of that shot, but none of them did until literally right after I gave up and switched out of capture mode).

Just thought I'd clarify that because I'm really happy about how much the dinos just put themselves in the same shot like that on their own without any camping and combining on my part.
