Messed sighed and swished her tail, watching others talk to each other and wishing she could speak without practically screaming. She nudged her suckling pups and licked each of their heads one by one. She smiled softly, tilting her head. She picked her chops and laid her head on her paws, the familiar ringing of silence filling her ears as she closed her eyes and started to drift off. She sniffed and smelled a new scent, that of another dog. A loner, maybe? She settled back down. Loners occasionally came through, it was no big deal. But something felt off about this scent. Messed shook it off and fell uneasily asleep.

As he watched the pup spin in a circle to face him she spoke and asked ¨who are you¨ in a stern tone. ¨woahhh there kiddo didn´t mean to startle you but i wanted to know if youd wanna learn some fight moves?, i heard your a total newbie¨ he said while wagging his tail ¨im sort of what youd call a pro¨ hermes said while looking into the distance. He did a circle before he sat down waiting for her response

Mink stoped washing Hiroshi and said "I am sure the hunters will bring back something, I will make sure you have a bite or two b it for now we can just stay here. Mink called in her pups, counting them . Lisa was there at least, the pup loved exploring. Mink explained to her pups that they would have to let Hiroshi have some if their meal first as he was weaker than them. They mostly all nodded and then went off to play again . "Don't trip up any dogs!" Mink called after them. Mink sighed and relaxed by Hiroshi.

Toto had been lying in the car for ages, she leaped out and hit the floor, She looked at Mink underneath the car Toto slept in and saw she had a young pup who looked weak. I need to replenish the stores soon. They were all thin but pups didn't not thrive well on little or no food. As Toto walked past dogs , she gave them a nod before looking into the trash can lid that the water was usually in . Feeling deflated and thirsty, Toto licked her lips and awaited for a chance to speak with the Alphas. She went up to them and cleared her throat "Excuse me , Petra and Rosa may I go out to collect Moss and herbs as I have a feeling some strength herbs may be needed."'

Darwin snapped out of his daze and ran towards Petra apologizing. "Sorry Petra, I will get on with a hunt if that is what you were going to say." Darwin was a little in shame at his body language being submissive but he knew it was probably the right time to do so. He ran to Orion and whispered "Have you got everyone ready or is there more it round up?" He licked his lips and his tail started to wag. He was proud of Orion for taking control when he spaced out.

Bug yawned and went to step out of the home he had made from a rusty car door and a few spare tires. Although he missed and he fell flat in his face. He grumbled and cursed and then stood up. He looked around doing his sulking face hoping no one saw it . His tail wagged be be padded over to Darwin and Orion. "Can I come please? I promise I will try snd catch up and stay with you also I may know where to find fish and water " He barely got out of the junkyard and he needed to stretch his aching back and legs. He blinked and licked his lips. He was hoping that they would have time to go to the stream by his farm if it had not dried up. It was his only chance.

Isabel looked at him and said "Im Isabel and yes please!" She looked at him wagging her tail really fast before saying "Can you be my dad i have no family here?" She smiled at him waiting for a response

Ryu had gave Atlas a glare in response to his teasing and said "Humm lets see....No cuddles for a day!" He was being serious with that. Ryu had heard what Orion said and nodded before standing and strecthing. Ryu ran his tail along Atlas face before walking off.

Hiroshi looked at Mink which took some effort and then said "Al..right." His voice was still very shaky and didn't seem like he could travel at the moment. Hiroshi giggled softly as he saw the pups Run off.

A sigh built inside Petra, like a human machine this heat was eating at her. Toto the healer always interested her.

"of course, the hunters are just leaving, stay close to them." She gave a brief response. Simply trotting off, Darwin had her focus.

Her demeanor softened even slightly "Good, thank you. If you could start scouting for a water aswell. Once you return, I will need a few of hunters and fighters to walk a few dogs to water." A nod towards Darwin signaled she was finished with the conversation as she turned her attention to the other alpha Rosa whom, handled the strange dog situation.

"When do you think we should leave? As much as I enjoyed this camp hazard I think our time here is coming to an end. We have to get moving." Rosa was truly the only dog she showed herself to. Even despite her tone being level worry seeped through.

She nearly forgot about the heat until a burning pain was felt though her pads. She had stepped in some melting tar, not often was she reminded of the humans but somehow even after death thier messy work still affected the dogs.

Tinker nodded a thanks to the dog whose name was Willow. She respected her for standing up for Tinker. The other dog must be a leader, she thought to herself, she understood the pack must have it hard already. But she felt so relieved, finally she could be safe, her pups had a chance on a future. She did feel safe in the presence of Willow, and wasn't sure how to thank the dog enough.

She noticed another dog running up to them, wagging her tail. She must be a friend of Willows. Tinker smiled at her greeting and replied with "Hi, I'm Tinker."
