What is this beast?

Lapidi's are a canine like beasts, made for war. These are war beasts. Often Donning Armor.
Though, with the war being over- most of them aren't taught in the old ways of war anymore. Exceptionally loyal to their owners, Lapidi's are each associated with a certain type of magic, and a gemstone. Each possesses the power corresponding to their Gemstone

Name of Lapidi: Clove
Gender: Female
Tell me a story of her babysitting other Lapidis: "Bye!" Clove's young charge, Jag, bounced around Clove's legs as his mother disappeared into the distance.
Jag was a young Agate Lapidi, very excitable and something of a handful. Clove had babysat for him once before, but two of her friends had been there to help keep him under control; she wasn't positive she'd be able to keep him under control this time.
"Jag!" Another young Lapidi, a female Lapis Lazuli, bounded up to them. "Is this the babysitter?" she asked, tilting her head toward Clove.
Clove cleared her throat. "Yes, I am. My name is Clove; what's yours?"
"Lynn. Can Jag and I go and play?" she asked, looking up at Clove with round, innocent eyes.
"It depends," Clove said, quirking up the corner of her mouth in a playful half smile. "Are you planning on playing a dangerous game?"
"It depends. How would you define dangerous?" Lynn fired back cheekily, earning a laugh from Clove.
"How about you answer my question so I can answer yours?" she replied.
"We wanna play Hide and Seek," Jag piped up. "We always do." Lynn nodded enthusiastically.
"All right, then. Boundaries," Clove asserted, nodding. "That tree, that tree, that rock, and, hmm. . . that rock," she decided, pointing at each one with her nose. "Stay inside the square they make."
"Actually, it's not a square, just a quadrilateral, because that tree-" Lynn began. Clove shut Lynn up by playfully pushing her muzzle aside.
"I'm counting first, so you two had better hurry up and hide or I'll finish counting before you've hidden yourselves!" Clove shut her eyes as the two scampered off gleefully. "One, two, three, four. . ."
One Clove got to twenty, she shouted, "Ready or not, here I come!" Already she knew where Jag was based on his scent, close enough for even her weak nose to pick up, but she walked in the wrong direction anyway, to make the game last longer.
As she tramped slowly past the rotting log where she knew Jag was concealed, she wondered aloud, "Where are those two? I've got no idea where they could be-"
"ROAAAAR!" Jag bellowed, leaping at her with forelegs extended. Clove let herself be knocked over.
"Oh no!" she cried. "He got me, he got me! I never even saw it coming!" Jag stood over her with a pleased expression. "Aren't I a good hider?" he boasted.
Clove smiled. "Very good," she agreed. It was true; she hadn't been able to see him at all. Only the faint scent had allowed Clove to find Jag so quickly. "Now, let's go find Lynn, shall we?" She set off with Jag trotting behind her, still pleased with his successful sneak attack.
At first Clove casually searched the area, looking in obvious places for a young Lapidi to hide, but after a while of searching she grew concerned. Clove began looking in less apparent places. Finally, after nearly half an hour of searching with no luck whatsoever, Clove turned to Jag, who by now had picked up on her anxiety. "Jag? Do you have any idea where Lynn could be? She didn't go outside the boundaries, did she?"
Jag shrugged, looking worried. "She didn't say. Maybe. . .maybe she's on the very edge of the boundary, where we didn't look?" He didn't sound very confident, but Clove seized on the idea anyway. Clove began circling the perimeter of the area she had set, straining to sniff out the barest trace of Lynn's scent, but it was Jag who finally pointed upwards with his nose. "Clove! Look!" Clove looked in the direction he was pointing and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lynn perched on a branch. But relief became fear when she realized that Lynn was stiff with fear, as she was standing on a very thin branch. As Clove watched, the branch began to sag even more under Lynn's weight.
"Stay right there, Lynn!" she yelped, leaping up to the lowest branch. "Don't try to move or it might break more!" Lynn gave a small nod, remaining in her stiff pose. Jag watched from down below with huge, frightened eyes.
As Clove climbed further up the tree, the branches became easier to leap to, but also thinner and less able to support her weight. Clove knew that it would be even more dangerous for her to be up there than Lynn since she weighed more, but she forced herself to continue climbing.
With the branches creaking ominously underneath of her, Clove climbed so that she was just below Lynn's branch. Despite Lynn remaining still, the branch was about halfway through breaking off. Lynn looked at Clove with tear-filled eyes. "Don't let me fall," she whispered in terror.
"I won't," Clove promised. Raising herself up so she was balanced carefully on her hind legs, she grasped the scruff of Lynn's neck gently but firmly in her jaws. "Don't struggle," she mumbled through the mouthful of fur. "Just stay limp." The branch that Clove was on creaked even louder from their combined weight, so Clove leaped down as fast as she could, quickly but carefully going back down the tree.
All three Lapidi began to relax as Clove neared the ground. Jumping down the last few feet, Clove delicately placed Lynn back on the ground. The young Lapidi lay down, trembling. Clove curled around her protectively, pulling Jag in closer for good measure.
"I'm glad you're okay," Jag squeaked finally, after a few minutes.
"Me too," Lynn sighed.
"Me three," Clove murmured, nuzzling both of them fondly. "We'd best be getting back," she added, standing up. "It's getting dark."
Jag and Lynn dutifully followed as Clove led them back to where their ill-fated game of Hide and Seek had begun. Their mothers had just arrived by the time they got back.
Jag's mother smiled. "Did you two have fun?" she inquired, pawing a burr out of Jag's fur.
"No problems?" Lynn's mother added.
Clove's eyes flicked to Jag, to Lynn, and then back to Lynn's mother. "Nope," she said quickly. "Just, you know, Hide and Seek." Lynn suppressed a smile; Clove winked at her discreetly. "No problems at all."

Tell me a story of her babysitting other Lapidis:
((Please bear with me as this story will be freaking terrible x3)) Jade is a caring mother type, loving to babysit young Lapidi, though not always being good at it. Once while she was babysitting, she lost the Lapidi, here's how it happened, Jade had been trusted with a cub ((Pup?)) Lapidi, but she looked away for 5 seconds to get something to drink, the child had wandered off and she went into a panic, searching the area, after a hour of searching everywhere, she could not find the child and started to sob, but when she looked behind her, in a leaf pile, there sat the child, she quickly ran to the child and lied with it until it's parents got home, ever since the incident, she has made sure to never take her eye off of a child she is babysitting, never failing ever since ((I'm so sorry you had to suffer through this but I hope you enjoyed a little c: ))
