Sorcha follows, her lips thin as she stops inside the locker room. Hades sits down beside her, his tongue hanging out as he looks around, before focusing right back on Sorcha. "Good boy." She murmurs as she reaches down to scratch him. Before straightening up, watching as Ajax picks up a vest and fits it on his K9. As Sorcha watches, she couldn't help but wonder how Titan would feel if he got to work in the field again. He loved it, according to her father. Titan had been one of the best and he had absolutely loved it. Now he just had to sit at home.
Sorcha then follows Ajax out of the locker room, and the the station, Hades remaining directly beside her. Perhaps she could have put a leash on him, but he never wandered from her side. Not without good reason, and so Sorcha just let Hades trot along. Her gaze flickers to Ajax briefly as he slows down to walk beside her, before they flicker away again. "As you already know, this is Fallen Hills. You've probably seen most of the city at this point, but there are a couple spots that you should be wary of and keep your eyes open when you're around there." A brief nod was her only response, her green eyes already moving over the streets, to observe and remember.
Her green eyes follow Ajax's pointed hand down a long street which led to some old, crumbling buildings. "We've been suspecting that something's happening over there, so we're watching it closely for any signs. It's private property though, so we can't search it without a warrant. I suggest staying away from there, even if you're out of uniform. We already have a team on that case, and we don't want to jeopardize their plans or get in their way." Sorcha nods, she didn't really get out much anyway. Use to growing up on a large farm that had basically everything she needed, Sorcha became a homebody. So, nowadays, she really only left the house to run, go to work, visit her parents, or go grocery shopping. So she didn't really venture.
Her green eyes move in a different direction, to another set of sketchy looking buildings. "There's usually some gang activity that happens over there." Sorcha's lips thin, she knew a thing or two about gangs. She'd had to deal with them back at her old station, and her father had been injured going after a gang. "The FHPD have been trying to subdue them for a while, but each time we have a close call with an injury of some sort. One of our dogs had to retire because of an injury he sustained while trying to catch one of the members. Good news is we got the one he was injured by, the one the dog was biting. Bad news, our interrogation guys haven't been able to get any information out of him."
Interrogation, one thing out of many, that Sorcha had learned directly from her father. Sure, she'd gone and learned it at the Academy, but the things she'd learned from her father made much more sense. Not that Sorcha was the biggest fan of interrogations, but she could if she needed to. "I was on that case for a while, but now that I have a new canine and a human partner, they've currently taken me off." Uh oh, this wasn't about to turn into a pity party, was it? "They wanted me to train Nyx and get used to having a human partner, and not to be worrying about the case, I guess." Sorcha simply looks down at Hades, before looking back up, however her sharp ears just barely managed to catch the muttered words that Ajax threw out.
"I wish they hadn't."
Was that a dig at her? Or was it because he simply just didn't like being pulled off the case? Sorcha was tempted to ask and possibly smart alec him, but she figured, for now she better keep her mouth shut. So she simply glances at Ajax, and then away again, biting her tongue.

Ajax caught the glance Sorcha had thrown at him, and he siged quietly, running his hand threw his hair. I’m not very good at this. He thought, irritated at himself. Despite him being one of the best officers that the FHPD had, he was bad at conversing with other humans unless it was in short, and it concerned him or the FHPD. He also hated how it felt like he was rambling sinse Sorcha wasn’t speaking much. He hated when he rambled about something, even though he never did it much. “C’mon, lets finish our rounds.” He muttered, starting to walk again. Nyx padded along next to him, glancing around wit her tongue hanging out of her mouth, panting lightly and looking excited. She gave a few sniffs in the air, as if trying to find a scent, and her muscles tense as her eyes followed a pigeon that had flew down from it’s perch on a tree branch. Ajax kept an eye on her, ready to grab the back of her vest if she lunged towards the bird. Nyx paused, looking towards Ajax with her sparkling green eyes. He shook his head, a small smile on his lips, and she relaxed, ignoring the pigeon as they walked by it. After walking around for a while, making twists and turns around the busy streets of Fall Hills, Ajax led the four of them back to the station. “Do you want a break or go right into training?” He asked, unsure. He didn’t know the level his partner was at, but he was curious. He planned that, after they got back to the station, he and Sorcha would take their dogs to the training field in the back, and he would see how well Hades and Sorcha operated together, and work on Nyx’s agility and obedience himself. He could see how excited and hyper Nyx still was by the twitching of her ebony fur and the glint in her eyes. He chuckled lightly as she paced around him, wanting to get a move on. He patted her back, and told her to settle down and wait. It had been a while since he had a K-9 partner that was this energetic and expressed it so openly. His eyes widening slightly, Ajax’s face split into a grin as an idea struck him. Nyx needed to be taught obedience and how to stay calm and quiet while in the field. Usually, he would teach the canine one on one until they understood the basics, and then bring in one other person, and then another dog, and so on until the dog could handle any distractions. That was when he was helping train other dogs, and usually when the were just pups, so the knowledge would stick with them a lot easier than trying to train a grown dog. Though Nyx was young, she wasn’t a pup. She would learn better from another dog… And that’s where Khaos, his old partner in crime came in. He would call his former canine’s new owners and ask them if they could bring Khoas with them to the station. Khaos was well behaved, and still fairly young, only 6-ish years old, but his injury made him retire early. He would be perfect for teaching Nyx patience. Khaos also ad a very commanding figure, with being larger than most German Shepherds and a loud voice, so Ajax was sure Nyx would end up learning and following him, learning valuable lessons from the large canine.

"C'mon, lets finish our rounds." Sorcha nods, whistling to Hades who she had allowed to roam off just a little. At once, the large K9 returned to her side, his attention on Sorcha. "Good boy." She mutters to the German Shepherd. Before turning to follow Ajax, keeping her pace slower so she didn't have to walk beside him. Hades remained at Sorcha's side, ears pricked up and eyes alert. Constantly scanning his surroundings, making sure his handler and himself were safe. Though Hades did break his concentration at the smell of a pigeon. Hades stares at the pigeon before returning to his keen observing.
Sorcha had to admit that Fallen Hills was a nice town, bigger then what she was used to, and a lot busier as well. Zanbu was a small farm and ranch based town. There was nothing but farmers and ranchers in Zanbu. The town itself was very small, and only had a few streets. And most of the streets held stores, shops, the post office, city hall, police station, and fire department. There was a school, but it was pretty small since most of the kids spent their time outside helping their parents. Sorcha had been home schooled, between all the work of ranch life. So, Fallen Hills was definitely busier then she was used to.
"Do you want a break or go right into training?" A break? What for? All they did was walk around. "Training." Came Sorcha's simple answer. Hades was still full of energy and needed to get some of it out. With any luck, the agility course Sorcha had caught a brief glance of, was challenging for Hades, so that he could get plenty of exercise and be entertained. At the word training, Hades breaks his concentration again, staring intently at his handler. Sorcha couldn't help but smile slightly, Hades could be a very serious and authoritative dog, but even he had his playful side. And he loved to train, or really anything that involved exercise. So playing, running, training, etc.
In fact, most German Shepherds were energetic. High strung dogs, were what they were called. And incredibly intelligent. Hence the reason they were such great police dogs. It was also a great way to get them the exercise they needed. But it also was very dangerous, and most handlers got attached to their K9's, which made it very depressing when their K9 got hurt or killed. Sorcha's father had told her that plenty of times, because he had lost a K9 when he was in the field. Sorcha had been the dog's name, and that was why Sorcha's middle name was Sorcha. Mainly because her mother refused to have her daughter's first name Sorcha, and instead named her America Sorcha. Ironically, and to the slight annoyance of her mother, Sorcha had preferred to go by Sorcha almost her entire life.
Sorcha's eyes flicker to the station as they approach, now she was full of energy. She wanted to get to training! Do something instead of just walk around, or listen to people talk. She didn't join the police force to stand around and do nothing! She joined to do things like save people, catch bad guys, and train K9's. All the things that mattered, not boring old crap. Although, she did hate paperwork. In her opinion, it was the absolute worse part of the job. Sometimes there was a lot of paperwork, and sometimes there was very little. But it was all still very annoying.

Ajax grinned, nodding. At least Sorcha could match his pace, and he was glad about that. He didn’t want to drag dead weight behind him any more than the next person. It was funny how much patience he had with canines, but how little patience he had with humans. He and Nyx walked out to the training field, nodding to the few police officers that were spread across the large field, all working with their own separate dogs, some working together. Ajax looked around, trying to decide which course to run Nyx through first. He wanted to work on his canine’s agility and coordination, as well as her hearing and obedience for his commands. He would work on the obedience tomorrow if Khaos came to the station, so for now, all he had to work on was Nyx’s agility and coordination. He chose a course that was farther away from the rest of the police officers, wanting Nyx to focus on her pawsteps and movements while they went through the course, and not any of the other distractions in the field. He led Nyx over to the course, which had logs resting on the ground to be jumped over, poles sprouting up from the soil to weave through, ramps to climb and bars suspended over the ground to duck under. The course was fairly straight forward, and he thought that Nyx wouldn’t have much trouble navigating through it. He led Nyx to te beginning, and told her to stay, and then walked to the end of the course. He called for Nyx, and at first she did pretty well, jumping over the logs and ducking under the bar, but as soon as she came to the poles that she had to weave through, she veered to the side, opting to go around. Ajax stopped te exercise immediately, not wanting Nyx to think that her actions were right. “Stay, Nyx.” He said, and she halted sharply, swiviling her head to stare at her handler. Sitting down, she cocked her head to the side and allowed her tongue to loll out of her mouth. He walked to the part of the course that Nyx had messed up at and pointed at it. He stepped into the course, walking his way inbetween the poles. He then called Nyx over, and commanded her to follow behind him through the poles. At first, Nyx hesitated and narrowed her eyes at the space inbetween the poles, but then followed Ajax slowly, slipping between the poles, her ebony fur a shadow against the silver metal. “Good girl.” He said as they finished the course together. He patted her head and sent her back to the start of the course. “Now try again, and do what we just did, alright?” He said. “Nyx, Come!”

Sorcha follows Ajax through the station and out to the training field. It wasn't full, but there were a few other police officers with their K9's. Thankfully, it was a very large field with plenty of places to train. There were also different kinds of training. Ajax and Nyx started off for one of the agility courses, and for a little bit, Sorcha watches them. Hades watching as well. Nyx seemed like she would make a great K9, but for now, she was just in training. No matter, all K9's went through that. That's what training was for after all.
"Come." She mutters to Hades as she turns, heading for a different agility course. This one was a little more complex then the one that Ajax and Nyx were on. But, Hades was further along then Nyx, so it made sense. "Stay." Sorcha commands as she directs Hades to the beginning of the course. While some handlers stayed by the end to watch, Sorcha ran alongside the course while Hades went through it. It gave her exercise, and allowed her a closer look at how Hades was doing. "Ready boy?" Hades flicks an ear towards his handler, who grins slightly.
"Rach!"
At the go command, Hades was off, as was Sorcha. The two became quickly absorbed in their training, and they were moving quick. Hades moved up the ladder very quickly and efficiently, then he weaved through the weave poles, hardly pausing. Then through the tunnel with Sorcha guiding him. Over the seesaw, over the hurdles, through the tires. Next he was moving up a ladder that led to a thin board that Sorcha guided him across to the other side and down. Then he went through the second half of the course. Which was just more weave poles, ladder, seesaw, hurdles, and tires. At the end, Hades came to an abrupt stop and sat down, his head and ears swiveling towards Sorcha.
Sorcha, obviously being slower then the German Shepherd, came jogging up a few seconds later. "Good boy!" She praises grinning at Hades. God, she loved watching him do agility, he was always so quick and graceful with it. She'd even watched him take down a running criminal once, and it had been beautiful. The criminal had no chance and Hades was on him within seconds. Sorcha had absolutely adored Hades ever since that moment, and of course because off duty he was such a sweet and playful dog.
Sorcha pats Hades, looking around, what should they do next? Well, after she let Hades rest a little and get some water. Perhaps some chase and tackle training? Surely she could find someone willing to put on some pads and let Hades chase and attack for some training. Or maybe she could go through all of his commands again, to refresh him on a few that they hadnt' used in a while. And it would be good for Hades. Hmm, so many choices. But, for now, Sorcha just took Hades over to the little rest area. Where the K9 lapped up some water, before laying down. Sorcha would allow him to rest a few minutes.

Ajax watched as Nyx ran through the course quickly, leaping, ducking, and weaving through the obstacles. She hesitated for half of a second at the poles, but then powered through it, weaving through them with speed and grace. They ran through the course again and again until Nyx could do it effortlessly. She reached the end once again, stopping at her handler’s feet and cocking her head as if asking: What was next? Ajax praised Nyx for completing the course and rubbed her between the ears. Her emerald eyes sparkled, and her tongue hung out of her mouth as she panted lightly. Ajax chucked. She looked like she was grinning up at him. He looked around and saw Hades finish his course and nodded approvingly. Hades seemed like a wonderful K-9 partner. He looked for something else to do, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his dog for training. He would be doing tackle tomorrow with Khaos, so he didn’t want to confuse Nyx with that by starting it right now. His eye caught a rack of coats and he got an idea. He called over the guy standing by the coat rack. “Ahh, Officer Scorcher! What can I do for you today?” The man, Sage, asked. “I’d like to do some tracking S&R training with Nyx here.” He answered patting his dog. Sage's grin broadened. “And I can do that for you! You know what to do, correct?” Ajax knew Sage was joking because everyone at the FHPD knew that he had worked there since he was about 19 years old. “Of course, mate! Now go hide so we can start.” Ajax answered, and with a nod, Sage jogged off. Ajax gave him around 5 minutes to hide, and during that time, Ajax took off his gloves and gave it over to Nyx so she could sniff. “Find!” Ajax commanded, and Nyx tipped her head to the side, slightly confused, but she picked up the gloves and trotted over to Ajax. He praised her, and slowly, as they did that a couple more times, Nyx began to realize what they were doing. After Ajax was sure Sage had hidden, he took his gloves back and gave Nyx one of Sage’s coats to sniff. “Find!” Ajax ordered. He suppressed a chuckle when Nyx brought the coat over to him. He shook his head and ordered again, “Find.” Nyx glanced around, baffled at her hander’s action. She sniffed the air and must have caught a whiff of Sage’s scent, because she jerked her head up and padded forwards a bit, towards the direction that Sage had jogged off in, glancing back at Ajax as if asking, I’m I doing this right? Ajax gave her a small nod, and she was off. Ajax jogged behind her, letting Nyx take the lead as she ran through the field. Whipping around a corner, she pounced on someone, and Ajax heard a surprised squawk. He rolled his eyes humorously, rounding the corner himself to see Nyx on top of Sage. “Nyx, down!” He ordered sharply. She paused, looking at Ajax. She got off Sage and padded back towards him, sitting by his feet. Sage got up, rubbing the back of his neck. “We’re going to have to work on that jumping issue.” He chuckled. Ajax nodded, but he patted her head for finding Sage. It took a little while, but she was still learning, and she was quite smart and picked things up quickly, so he was quite proud of her. “Yes, yes we will. We can’t have you jumping on everyone we save, can we Nyx?” She just let her tongue roll out of her mouth in that little grin of hers.

As Sorcha relaxes beside a resting Hades, her eyes find Ajax and Nyx training. They had just finished the agility course. And it looked like Ajax was heading for a rack of coats, hmm, she wondered what that was. And then, a few minutes later, it became clear. Search and rescue. Hmm, that was an interesting way to do it. Sorcha usually took Hades and a fellow officer that Hades didn't know to well to a park. Then she dropped the officer off first, allowing him to hide. Then she came back around with Hades and something of the officer's for Hades to sniff.
Then she released him, allowed him to sniff the item, and then sent him off to find. That way Hades could get practice not only doing search and rescue. But doing it with an officer he didn't know, and in a place that he didn't know very well. That way it was as real as possible, without the actual urgency of trying to find someone. However, Nyx seemed to be doing pretty well. Obviously struggling a little, since she was new. Sorcha watched as Nyx struggled the first few times, and then when she was actually sent off to find the officer. She did much better.
Sorcha chuckles slightly as she watches Nyx pounce. Sorcha gets to her feet,"Alright, come on Hades. You've had your rest." Hades leaps to his feet, excited. He was well rested by the few minutes of resting. Sorcha glances around, finding another officer just standing around. "Hey, I was wanting to work on Hades attack. Do you mind helping?" The officer shakes her head,"No, let me get on a suit." It took but two minutes for the officer to get on a protection suit, and she was back. "Alright, leash him up, and then we'll get started." Sorcha reaches into her belt, pulling out a small compact leash that she unravels and clips onto Hades.
The German Shepherd was on high alert, aware that something was happening. The officer takes off running, pretending to be a criminal on the run. "Ready Hades?" Hades begins to bark, viciously after the officer, just like he would in a real situation. Sorcha couldn't deny that Hades had one hellacious bark. If she didn't know Hades so well and wasn't his handler, she would be terrified and intimidated by his bark. Sorcha was quick to quick release him, and Hades was off like a bullet. Moving swiftly after the officer, before launching forward once close enough.
The officer went down, hitting the ground with an uphm. Hades starts biting the protection gear, tearing at it. Thank god it was incredibly good at its job. Because Hades had some powerful jaws. Sorcha runs up,"Good boy! Let go Hades." However, as most dogs were, he was really focused on his job. "Hades! Sgaoil!" This command, spoken in Gaelic, got the German Shepherds attention. Hades quickly releases and backs away, returning to the somewhat playful yet mainly focused Shepherd. "Good boy!" Sorcha praises before turning to help the officer up.

Ajax patted Nyx on the head, thinking about the best way how to train Nyx not to jump on someone without orders to. He had to be careful about how he trained her, because if they were chasing down a criminal, he would want Nyx to dash ahead of him and take the criminal down, because his dog is obviously faster than him, and if he can’t catch up to the criminal himself, he would send Nyx ahead of him to tackle the criminal. But, if he and Nyx were searching for a missing person, he didn’t want Nyx jumping at them or tackling them to the ground. It would scare them, seeing a large black hound leaping at them with her teeth bared and snarling, and if they were in shock, it would probably make it worse. ANd if they were injured, being tackled to the ground would definitely hurt them further. Nyx could listen to commands pretty easily, but she needed to do things on her own. He needed to make it clear to her between ‘Tackle’ and ‘Find’. He would work on ‘Tackle’ tomorrow with Khaos helping Nyx understand. That reminded him that he had to make a call to Khaos’s new owners. He would continue working on ‘Find’ today, but first he had to make that call. He asked his friend Sage to watch over his dog while she had a little break, and he agreed to it immediately. Ajax nodded his thanks to his friend and left to go into the station, picking up his phone from his locker and dailing the number of his old K-9 companion’s new owners. “Hello?” He heard a voice say from the other side of the line. “Hello Mr. Jay?” “Scorcher? Is that you?” “Yes, it is. I was wondering if tomorrow morning, you could bring Khaos to the station? I have a new partner, Nyx, and I would like her to see some things from a trained, experienced canine to learn quicker.” “Of course! I’d love to do that, and I know that Khaos will be stoked to see you, Scorcher. I’ll swing by tomorrow around and bring the big guy.” “Thank you, Mr. Jay. See you tomorrow.” “See you tomorrow, Scorcher.” Ajax put his phone away and locked his locker, and then jogged back out to the training field, back to Nyx. “Up girl, come on, we’re getting back to training.” He said. She leaped to her paws and yipped. Ajax chuckled and nodded to Sage, thanking him. He asked him to head around the corner again so that they could work on Nyx's jumping issue, and Sage did it. They ran through the exercise a couple of times, and each time Nyx got a little better at not jumping up on Sage. She still had some work to do, but she was definitely getting better. Ajax just hopped that she didn't get to confused tomorrow with 'Tackle.'

Sorcha ran through the exercise two more times, and both times, Hades did great. He got the "criminal" down quickly, and this time, he released on the first command. Sorcha thanks the officer, who nods and heads off to take off the suit. Sorcha hums,"Alright boy, let's do one more exercise, then we'll take another break, or maybe be done." Hades stares at his handler, ready for the next command. Sorcha starts off, she'd start with the basics and then work her way up,"Heel." Hades was at her side at once,"Good boy." She praises, before moving in different directions, Hades remaining at her side the whole time.
"Good boy!" She praises again, before coming to a halt. "Sit." Hades sits down. "Lay down." He lays down. "Roll over." Hades rolls over, his paws waving in the air, before he rights himself. "Play dead." Hades flops down, playing dead. "Good boy. Up." Hades leaps to his paws, returning to the sit position. Sorcha pauses in training to scratch Hades, praising him as she does so. Though she quickly returns to training. "Speak." Hades lets out a bark. "Up." Hades gets to his paws. Sorcha was also using hand commands, but Hades had been trained in both, so she could do only hand commands, or she could do only verbal. Or both. "Spin." Hades spins in a circle. "Jump." He leaps up, before landing again. "Good boy!" Hades' tail wags slightly.
She gestures,"Go." Hades trots off, just sort of roaming the area. "Attention!" Hades continues to move, however he turns his head until he was looking at Sorcha, keeping his attention on her. "Atta boy!" She grins, before calling,"Stop." The German Shepherd comes to a halt, and Sorcha commands,"Stay." Hades flicks an ear, but doesn't move, as Sorcha starts walking away from Hades. Then she stops and turns back to Hades,"Come." Hades breaks into a run, coming to a halt beside Sorcha. "Good boy!" She praises, patting him, and giving him an ear scratch. Now it was time for the harder commands.
"Guard." Hades moves in between Sorcha's leg, crouching low, in a protective manner. His ears swiveling as he "guards" Sorcha. "Intimidate." At that, Hades bares his teeth, going from friendly to mean. There was his talk command, which was different from speak, because he just kept barking until Sorcha gave him the command to stop. But, she didn't figure anyone wanted to listen to Hades bark a few times. She skipped attack, because they had already done that one. Sorcha holds her hand out,"Touch." Hades tips his head back and presses his nose to her hand. "Good boy!" He could also do touch when she gestured to items, but she didn't want to do that one. There was also quiet, but that was just for when they had to be quiet, like sneaking up on criminals, and it was like a reminder. "Bite." Hades chomps at the air, mimicking like he was biting someone. "Good boy." Sorcha has Hades come around and sit in front of her, before bringing out a treat. She places it on the ground,"Leave it." Hades stares at the treat for a second, then looks up at Sorcha, waiting for the command. "Okay!" Hades leans down and chomps up the treat, licking his lips afterwards. Next, Sorcha hands Hades a small toy she kept on her so Hades could play sometimes. He holds it in his mouth, and she then orders,"Drop it." The German Shepherd opens his mouth and the toy drops to the ground,"Good boy!"
Next, Sorcha finds some rope, and allows Hades to grab the other side, playing a little tug a war with him. Then she orders,"Release." The K9 relaxes his stance and drops it, and Sorcha moves on after praising him. She takes her baton and tosses it a few feet away,"Retrieve!" Hades trots after the baton, picking it up, before returning to Sorcha. Dropping the baton in her outstretched hand. "Good boy!" She praises, returning the baton to her belt, and then giving Hades a treat. There was only one other command, and it was track. However, Sorcha figured, they could work on track later. When they did search and rescue.

Ajax and Nyx did a couple more exercises before Nyx sat down, panting heavily. Ajax chuckled and rubbed her between her ears. “A bit tired, eh? Well, you’re going to have to get used to it, buddy, cause we got a lot of work to do.” He grinned down at her. “But, I suppose I can give you a little slack for today and today only, because you’re going to be working your tail off tomorrow.” He looked around for a last activity to do with his canine companion. “C’mon, let’s go for a run.” Ajax said. Nyx’s ears perked up and her head tilted, grinning to herself. Ajax shook his head while chuckling. He’d never seen a dog who had an expression like that. She was almost…human. And not going to lie, it was kind of offputting, but at the same time, it was hilarious. “Excited? I know you love running.” He said, giving her a once over to see if her vest was still sitting on her right. It was, so he had nothing to worry about. “Alright, let’s go!” Nyx jumped to her paws as she trotted after him as he exited the training field. He was about to leave the station entirely when he remembered he had another partner. He stopped, and Nyx followed suit, gazing up at him with a confused tilt of her head. “I forgot I had a partner. Amazing.” Ajax muttered to himself, running a hanf down his face. “Brilliant, just bloody brilliant.” He glanced back at his dog. “Guess we have to invite them along with us, don’t we?” Nyx just held he gaze, waiting for a command. Letting out a sigh, Ajax commanded her to stay as he walked back over to the training field. Scanning the massive training grounds, he looked for Hades and {NAME}. He saw them going through some simple tricks that all K-9 learn when they begin, and then other, more difficult commands, obviously sowing that Hades was quite advanced and had a lot of experience in the field of work. He walked over to them, stopping a little way away from them as to not bother or distract either of them until they were done. “Good work.” He called once he saw that they were done. “Hades obviously a very smart dog. A very skilled one to.” Ajax said, impressed. It took a while for a canine to learn to follow commands flawlessly like {Sorcha’s} dog just did. “I was wondering if you two were done with your training if you would like to come with Nyx and I on a run? Kind of as a cooldown for them.” He offered. He tapped his foot, eager to get going. He didn’t like sitting around or waiting, especially when his dog was waiting for him to come back.
