Artemis glanced towards where a few of her teammates continued to converse amongst themselves and with a few dogs from other teams. She noted that Mozart, the oldest of the dogs on the team, has fur bristling on his spine. He didn't appear to be about to cause a fight, but it seemed that other dog had said something to offend him. She stood up and padded over to where the traditionally colored black and white husky was. "Excuse me," the 'peace keeper' started, "I'm afraid I need Mozart for something. Please excuse us." She said to the other dog and nudged Mozart's shoulder gently. She was glad that the older dog didn't protest and they made their way to where Artemis had been sitting previously. It only took seconds for Mozart to settle next to their human and Artemis to sit down on the spot she had flattened previously.

Tundra lifted his head when he heard Artemis shift and start moving forward. He huffed and watched the younger dog make her way towards where Mozart and another dog were talking. He paused, unsure why Artemis was going to interrupt the two before he caught the subtle raise in the fur along Mozart's spine. He continued to watch as Artemis lead the other dog towards where their human stood. He thought that the interruption was a little early, but he could agree with a better safe than sorry mentality.
