Darwin looked at Ryu and replied calmly. Well I estimated there is around 24 dogs snd more to feed so I should go with some large prey if we can find it and lots and lots of rabbits, mice,squirrels,voles...Everythome must eat today.” With that he added "If you excuse me for a moment " He danses after four rabbits and killed them before returning to the guard (NPC) and buurying them in the stash. He had got seven rabbits so he had just started . He then added "Ryu be careful and don't hunt in the same spot, I do not want to wipe out the whole rabbit population or whatever you hunt's population."

He gave a nod of thanks and went back to jining. After a few minutes , he returns with a few mice ha going from his mouth. His mouth watered but he at least had self control. He k ew that the group of dogs must eat first. Even though he barely knew any one.He looked over at Toto who was gathering herbs and looked back at Ryu.

Toto nodded at Ryu and kept searching for herbs until his voice actually reached her "Yes of course." She replied quickly , not wanting to be rude but at the same time wanting to get on. She had collected a variety of herbs whilst they had been either chatting to Darwin, burning. The delta was rapid, darting into bushes one moment and dashing after another rabbit the next. The smell of food was intoxicating and Toto had to restrain herself mentally to not go over snd grab some food. Darwin was doing well to not eat the prey he had caught. The little dog counted her herbs and realized she had the herbs she needed most , Her leaf pouch was full but she kept herself looking busy by Boeing in the bushes carefully and sniffing at the ground.

Mknk heard a familiar voice shouting "mum!" And she turned around and sighed in relief "Link where were you? I called for you, This is Tinker, she has just joined us." She said trying to hide her mixed emotions . Mink licked her lips and turned on her slow waggy tail and added "Link I am just glad you are safe " She turned back to Tinker , she laughed and spoke "Now this is my little explorer pup,Link." She shifted her weight quickly before she fell over as she suddenly felt a wave of dizziness snd sickness. Probably tiredness and hunger. She had not eaten since yesterday morning. She stifled a yawn and then looked at the two dogs, Link and Tinker.

Bug nodded and spoke quietly "Thanks Orion, My human was an great old man who treated me well, I buried him near the dirt road ...." Bug sad-smiled at the memories and continued almost flanking to himself ,. noting to shut up some time soon "His gloves are half buried, and his grave was not the best, I just wonder if my imprint is still by the grave...." He trailed off, picking up the pace and going right at the forked tree. If he ran it would be quicker but his old legs were hurting when he was just walking. He licked his lips as he thought of the food and the water that awaited. He picked up some moss on the way to carry the water back.

Ryu looked at Darwin and said "Alright will do." As he passed Toto he said "Alright see you back at the Junkyard." He then turned and ran over to an area with Voles. Ryu had caught 3 voles and headed over to where the guard was burying them. He sighed then went to an area with Squirrels he sniffed searching for and found one he followed the scent to an oak tree. He spotted a couple of squirrels and darted after them. He caught them both bring them back to the guard again which he buried. Ryu had dug a sperate spot from Darwin so he could keep track of the amount of food he got.

Mini smiled as Anita joined them and her tail started wagging. " It is fine Anita, I have no clue where my house is from here"She then looked at Link talking rapidly and grinned at her excited pup. Link seemed to have an obsession with bugs and crawling insects. She blinked and sat down hard . She then looked at Tinker, and replied " Yeah I am sure I will be fine, no please have it....I can't eat that, I can wait until the hunters and fighter get back" she nudged it back to the loner. Mink silently praised herself for self-control.

Darwin sniffed the air, 11 or more prey had been caught during this hunt. He turned to face Atlas and Brutus and spoke whiskt nodding " Yes,I think we need a few more then we can head to the Junkyard" He turned to face Brutus and spoke to the Doberman " Brutus can you help as well? We need all paws on the job." He then hoped they soaked up the information as he went off for 5 or more minutes and brought back 2 limp wood pidgeons. The delta looked at the dogs awaiting their replies as he buried the wood pidgeons with all the other prey he had caught. After he had buried them , he turned and sat nearby the two dogs, one a hunter and the other a fighter.

Toto sat watching the three dogs as she awaited for Darwin to be alone and still. Whenever he was alone , he sprinted off but then he did that whenever he had company as well. He seemed determined to feed the pack, Toto's mouth drooled as she caught the scent of all the prey. She breathed in and out as she tried her best to not go and dig out a squirrel or two for herself. She quickly spoke clearly to Darwin, not really paying attentions to the two other dogs, Brutus and Atlas " I shall return to the Junkyard, I will see you there" With that she quickly trotted away, being careful to not spill the herbs . Once she entered, she went straight to her car where she mixed some herbs and honey that she found in her owner's house . She then went to Hiroshi, she smiled at him and whispered gently " Hello little pup, can you swallow this for me, it might make you feel better " Toto has mixed juniper berries,chamomile,lamb's ear (flower),Tansy leaves with honey. Toto nudged the mixture towards the pup, the poultice was on a leaf, that stopped the mixture getting dirty. Toto did not know what could be ine the ground , or what went in the ground and she did not want to know.

Bug finally got to the dirt road and head upwards, passing his owner's grave . He did not stop for he did not want to get emotional as he would be distracted from the task at hand. Although it did pain him so he got a flower and put it on the grave as he passed. He looked at Orion and wagged his tail " Nearly there, it's only a few paws away! Water and Food! Think of the faces." He winced as he jogged up the path in excitement like a pup finding his long lost tennis ball. He winced as his joints complained but he did not stop jogging. He finally reached the barn and pointed out to Orion " The barn and the stables is on the right where that old rusty tractor is, there is food...then that way, on the left is the house, might be water in there...then behind all of this is hopefully a stream although I do not know if it is dried up..." He then panted in the sun and the added "Which way Orion?" He winced as he stepped forwards and regretted jogging. His old bones complained st him and he stumbled . He caught himself and tried hard not to Yelp. He would need to go see Toto afterwards, he had not had...what was it called? He thought hard and then remembered ahh, it was ragwort and Daisy leaves He remembered the taste bu he remembered Toto saying that she was running out of jars of honey, she had it all scraped out of the jars and put into them into large leaves and kept them in the back of the car in the foot well where it was cooler.

He blinked and turned to look at Orion, awaiting his decision.

Darwin have a nod of thanks and buried the prey, he had hunted 4 more rabbits and was counting the prey when they returned eith more. His tail wagged "Can you go ahead Atlas with some prey and tell others to come and help collect it with one of the alpha's permission let's hope some dogs have some self-control and decency" Darwin spoke happy that there should be enough prey for everyone . He was sure they would have a feast tonight. He then turned to Brutus and congratulated him. He began passing prey to Atlas to carry, he hoped the fighter would not eat any even though if The Delta had calculated correctly there were a few spares.

Bug nodded and as quick as he could, he sped walk painfully through the narrow gap beseech the barn and the house p, it was her quickest way. He eventually squeezed through and let out a happy bark. He tried to keep his tail from wagging as it was right in Orion's face but he couldn't therefore brushing Orion's face with his tail mutiple times. Bug took in the tiny trickle of water left took a tiny lap of water before filling up moss with water. He stepped aside so that Orion could get past his huge wagging tail. He sniffed the air. "Orion, please wait here with the moss" He went into the house and made a loop around the house. Dog kibble bag half empty in high cupboard, a few water bottles on the countertop, creased bed from the last night Bug had been here and lastly the taxidermied tabby cat in the corner of the sitting room. He went back and reported clearly to Orion. "I scouted the house, A few resources we could use, a few water plastic bottles that we could tear into then a medium sized kibble bag which is half empty although it is in a high cupboard" He watched the dog, awaiting the reply.
