Recon | Beta | Male| M: Doji & Kiran

When he saw Kiran sprint off, Recon couldn't help but push off his back legs, thrusting himself into a sprint. For a second, it wasn't about hunting, he just wanted to feel free. Feel the wind whip through his coat and the dirt beneath his paws. To feel the long grass brush his legs and to watch butterflies scatter when he bounded through a patch of wildflowers. For a moment he could imagine he was a carefree pup again, able to play and chase his sister. He could pretend time hadn't passed and he didn't have to constantly worry. It was a feeling he desperately missed, one that wrapped his heart up in a vice grip in the rare moments that he let go. The feeling of being carefree was one that he longed for, and when he got to hold it, even for a moment, it always brought him down when he came back to reality.

A rustle in the grass. The scratch of claws against hard packed dirt. A new scent that flooded his nose. Recon skidded to a stop, his lithe body dropping to the ground, eyes and ears becoming trained on the spot the smell was coming from. His muscles rippled beneath his pelt, bunching up and relaxing as he crept along the ground, trying to stay downwind from whatever it was. Step by step he grew closer, determined to bring something back. Feathers, browns, tans, grays, and whites, a reflection of the colors mottled in his own pelt. The bird hadn't yet seen him and a small smirk appeared on his black face.

One second...two seconds...

Pounce!

Recon sprung off his back legs, and lunged at the turkey, the bird let out a weird squaking sound as it tried to take off flying and alerted it's flock. It was almost too bad that it hadn't noticed sooner as Recon's powerful jaws clamped down on it's neck, almost instantaniously killing it. As the rest of the flock fled the area, he trotted back over to the group and set down his catch, nosing it towards the others. That was when Recon noticed Kiran's rabbit and nodded approvingly, "Between the rabbit and this bird, we should have enough for all three of us."

Anubis | Male | Subordinate | M: Lidiya and Deverick

He watched as the half siblings interacted. He settled in his spot unmoved of Lidiya's empathy. He didn't even say anything to Deverick. If anything he just stayed away from the bond of siblings.

Merlin | Alpha | Male | M: Echo and Night

He looked at Echo's catches with wide eyes. The girl was feeling it. She needed to be let out of kennel before she destroyed it. Her hunting was great and was needed for the pack. He looked almost proud of her.. Though he won't say it in front of Night.

He barked "Let's look into this cave. I wanna see it if it would be suitable for us. The pack.."

Doji | Female | Subordinate | M: Recon and Kiran

She barked "Great catches." She looked at Recon and Kiran with a stoic gesture on her face. She knew if she didn't eat. She would hear Recon's protest. Not exactly what she needed at that moment. She ate some of the bird. She looked at them and barked "Eat. I think I found some type of dens or atleast shelter.."

She slowly went off to the direction of the shelter looking for any signs of life along the way.

(decided to get them all out of the way.. It sucks.)

Recon | Beta | Male| M: Doji & Kiran

Recon quickly finished the rest of the turkey before padding after her, he took a couple lopeing strides to catch up to her. Her shift in behavior from just this morning to now, got Recon a bit worried. He wondered what had changed that forced her mood to shift from sarcastically playful earlier, to now dismissive. Had he done something wrong or was it just that she hadn't forgiven Kiran. Glancing behind him, he flicked his tail, motioning for Kiran to follow behind him. "Did you find old fox dens? Or what did you find?"

Nodding his thanks to Star and Sable, Timber crouched down to his rabbit, realizing just how hungry he has. He sweared he could feel the food hit the bottom of his stomach, though his was full by the time he finshed; he didn't need much, but just enough to satisfy himself. He stood up, lapping his tongue over his jaws.

The wind brushed through his fur, and he shivered. Though he liked the feeling of wind flowing freely in his fur, he also hated it. He liked the shade and overhang of the trees, and he could see the blurry outline of some trees far away. In the opposite direction that they were walking. Timber shook the thought away. The important thing was that they needed to find good places to make camp. Or a home. Or anything, really. He sat down again, fixing his ruffled fur at his shoulders as he awaited Sables orders.

Doji | Female | Subordinate | M: Revon and Kiran

Her head swiveled back to the males behind her. She barked "Somerhing like that.."

Her paws quickened her pace into a clearing multiple of make shift dens. Her eyes looked at the rock formation of dens and then trees with burrows underneath. Her head tilted examining all the dens. A high ledge with a small cave above them with another below it. She barked "Well this looks like it can fit all of us.."

She plopped on the ground now bored that the tasks were completed. She slowly turned her head at the males with a sly smirk on her face. Her bobbed tail wiggled under her.

She barked "Kiran? You know how to fight? Or do Recon and I have to teach you? Though I have to say if you don't. Let's do some play fight and training.."

She looked at Recon and added "Recon, if you say no. I will challenge you in a play fight because we got prey and found a camp. We deserve to have a little fun.."

Doji usually does not play. She was a little nervous for the others. But if they had no action like her group did. She felt at ease and mostly wanted to do this to get her mood back to her normal self. Her distant and unwanted sadness was still lingering and she wanted to be rid of these unwanted feelings.

Without waiting, Doji got in a playful bow, her eyes glinted with mischief.

Merlin | Alpha | Male | M: Echo and Night

He murmured "This is nothing.."

He looked at the others with a defeated look. He shook his head at the cave. He barked "Only way it would fit all of us if we sleep all in the middle. I see this being a last resort.. Though there is valley.. But I feel we may need more wolves as it looks almost too dangerous for just us three.."

He sat on his haunches.

He barks "Hioefully the others are having more luck. Though the prey is quite well here. So this is a hunting place for small prey."

He casted his eyes at the mountains curiously. He wanted to go up there, but he had a feeling it wasn't the smartest decision. Merlin began to pace back and forth thinking about all the things in the back of his mind. What was going on in his mind? Finding a camp for his pack, the new ranking he was about to imply to Recon later today. He looked at Night and Exhi and barked "I need to speak to Echo.. Alone.. Night, you can leave but howl so I know you are safe.. You can choose whatever group to go to.. You have my permission.. The other's may need an extra pair of eyes and claws.. I also want you to tell the other group what we found here."
