Killjoy nodded, and stepped out of the den. He spotted Hondo talking to Orien as he laid by a tree. He walked over to them.

"Orien, please don't tell me that's where you are sleeping." He sighed at him, and shook his head before turning to Hondo.

"Thank you for checking on us earlier. I really appreciate it, as well as when you both went out to hunt. Thank you both for that." He bowed his head respectfully. "Hondo, do you happen to know where Rags is? I need to speak to her and you both about the morning patrols and such." His eye was kind, but his voice firm.

Sundown felt his stomach drop with Brute. He then felt relief as the male stood back up.

"Ore, can you make it across the river to tend to Night while I take Brute back? I would prefer to go and watch and see how you do things, but I'm willing to stay at the den with Brute if he needs me." He watched her with admiration. She was such a good healer, and a great mentor on top of that. She could be harsh, but that was life. Life wasn't too be all sunshine and rainbows, and he'd learned that from an early age.

He felt more relaxed now that she was around, and Brute was on his paws then he did just before she came. His anxiety had seemed to melt away when she showed up. His mind seemed sharper and he was more alert on what was going on around him then in his mind like he normally was.

Brute l Male l Beta l M: Sundown, Ore

.

Brute watched and started walking when Sundown got to his paws. He winced and grunted. He placed one paw in front of the other, favoring his left leg, and leaning on Sundown for support. He limped along slowly, but he knew soon that they would be back. The camp wasnt too far from here, and so he continued on. Hopefully no danger would come while both he and Sundown were vulnerable, and hopefully nothing would happen to Ore and Night too. That would be horrible.

Hondo l Male l Beta l M: Killjoy, Orien, Rags

.

He bowed to his leader. "Yes Alpha," and turned on his paws. With Killjoy and Orien on watch the females would never be harmed, but hopefully they would be ok. But still, he went about looking for Rags lile his alpha had told him too. He checked in dens, and after a small search he found her. He walked up to her and said, "Rags, Killjoy has asked to talk to you, he is at his den."

Orien honestly didnt feel like answering his alpha's question, he just wanted to sleep. After two cold dips in the river he was feeling rather tired and not his best. Orien then watched as Hondo ran off to go find rags. He then relucktantly turned to his alpha and nodded. "Why wouldnt i? Its a pretty night. The stars are out and you can see them very well. Besides i want to be closer so i make sure to hear if one of the girl's bark." Orien then let out a yawn before laying his head on his paws.

Killjoy looked at the older male with a very intense look in his eye.

"You are not staying here. I won't allow you to. Get to your den. That's an order." He said. He looked almost sad as he turned around. He went and sat down under a nearby tree, watching the entrance to the camp, waiting for Rags to emerge. He flicked his ear to listen behind him for the male to head to his den.

He hoped that Orien was to listen to his orders. He didn't feel like dragging him into his den. He closed his eyes while he sat there, nodding off.

Orien let out a humpf, though he wanted to growl. He knew he couldnt do that though. After all Killjoy was his alpha. As Orien got up Killjoy walked away and Orien sighed. Soon though he was inside his den. Orien then circled around three times before flopping on the floor. Luckily there was leaves there to cofort his fall but it still hurt a bit. He had forgotten the den floor was hard...He humpfed again before laying his head on his paws. He then let out a yawn before slipping into a somewhat deep sleep.

Sneaker l Male l Hunter l Raven l M: None

.

Sneaker awoke, his stomach growling. Even though it was it was dark he marched his way to the prey pile. He sniffed around and nosed his way through the leftovers. Nothing much. He picked up a half eaten deer leg and layed down under a tree. Munching on the hard flesh, and ripping it from the bone. Soon the leg was gone and all that remained was bone. Yet he was still hungry. He decided to go ask his lead hunter if he could hunt, so he trudged his way to her den. She was gone. Hopefully she wouldnt mind if he went to hunt. So off he went into the woods to hunt.

Beta Female | The Great Eastern Pack | 5 Years Old | Mentions: Hondo & Illusion(ind.) , The New Wolves [ Aquila & Raven ]

The female was satisfied with how Hondo reacted to her suggesting him go find the Alpha. Though she could tell there was some resentment to it, he would have to deal with it. After all, if he asked something if her, that was logical, why wouldn't she do it? And she was glad to see that all the hunters were returned to the pack, and that she could begin to even think about who to send on the hunt with Illusion. However, her moments of piece were broken when a few minutes later, Hondo was back. She had gone to her rather comfortable den, she had chosen a spot where wisteria vines hung and swayed gently in the breeze. It had taken her a while to fix the den up the way she liked, but it was hers and she rather adored it. And she pressed her ears against her head in annoyance that her space was casually invaded without warning, nor regard, but she didn't make a snippy remark. Instead she gave a curt nod as she stood up and shook a few stray petals off her fur.

The female got up for her den and began to look for Killjoy, her superior. And she soon found him in his den . . . with strange females near him. They were all soaking wet, had they been by the river? There was no emotion to her face but she narrowed her eyes just the slightest at the females, and then focused her attention to Killjoy, " Alpha. " she said respectfully and gave a small dip, not exactly full, considering she was his Beta.

" It's good to see that you're back in good health, but soaking wet?" She said, a curious nature in her tone of voice before continuing, " You may want to see Clotulai and his apprentice to make sure you don't catch anything and that our . . . " she was informing, and then paused as she turned to look at the stranger wolves, "guests are taken care of, hopefully both Clotulai and Bláth aren't in a mood." She said with a small sigh, and then blinked her eyes and said, "Hondo said you wanted to see me as well."

Killjoy nodded.
"I did want to speak to you about patrols tomorrow morning. Do you have wolves prepared for getting up and hunting in the morning? Illusion, of course would lead." He said, respectfully, and yet in a manner that would make any wolf respect him. He watched her carefully.

"And for your information, I am the least soaked wolf out of the four of us." He chuckled before continuing, "Have you met River and Aquila from the Raven pack?" He turned to the two outsiders.

"This is Rags, my beta female." He said bowing his head at her. "She is pretty amazing at her job." He shook out his short coat, and stretched out his back.

Sundown led Brute into the Medic den. He laid him down on a soft bed.

"Before you make yourself comfortable, is it okay if I check you over for any more injuries?" He asked, looking at him nicely. "Does it hurt anywhere else other then where we have treated?" He asked, smelling around the herbs to see what was still good after sitting for a while.

He hoped that Ore and Night were all okay. Maybe he should send someone out to go and check on them? He didn't like the thought of that. He didn't really feel like talking to one of the hunters or scouts. He'd never really spoken to them, nor did he have any plans of doing small talk with them. Too much drama could come out of it.
