I looked down, shuffling my paws in the mud beneath them before turning my head to look up at the spaniel-like dog. I nodded at her wishes, she was the alpha, and I was to listen to her commands, but I understood completely. There were so many others that were caring enough to go off and help her, it would take merely a few moments before someone else would have stumbled by. I gave a quick shake to my wet and mudded coat before hopping out of the mud down by the lower parts of the lake's banks.

I turned my head up to Parina, stretching my jaws wide and curling my tongue as I let out a whining yawn. It was getting later in the day, and seeing as I had been up before the sun rised, I was more than ready to crash into my bed. I rolled my shoulders as I turned, walking to get into a better position, right at Parina's side. We had about a .4 mile walk to get back to the area we called our camp, and it might as well be an interesting one.

My wet and mudded coat weighed me down, making it pretty hard to walk, but I was used to it. Tromping in the lake, or any other large area of water was the only way for me and any other dogs to really escape the heat, and I don't mean in the shade cool, the lakes around the farm were practically freezing which made the air nice and warm when we got out. I lifted my head up and slightly to the left as I began to speak,"Why'd you come here Parina?" I paused, rephrasing my question."I mean, why'd you choose the farmland over the cities, the streets, the woods even.."

I was more than worried, a fellow pack mate and a friend had not come home. I knew very well that the fae tended to stray beyond Bane's territory, and into the farmlands as she liked the peace, but she'd never not arrived home, especially at dinner time. I gave a sideways glance to Carlotta,"I have a friend that has not yet come home although she is always home at this hour. Please, stay here and chill out, you are welcome to sleep in the territory for the night, and decide whatever in the morning, but I must go out and find my friend. She might be injured." I told her, turning my head and bounding off before waiting for her response.

I knew where she would be, almost exactly, and I had pictures in my mind as I picked up a faster pace. I was practically sprinting through my territory, coming around street corners and hopping slyly over the fences that blocked alleyways before I reached the city grounds. I slowed, almost halted as I wearily glanced around, I didn't like walking into Bane's territory, but I knew there was no other choice, the farm dogs may have taken Saska, or even humans, either way, I had to cross their territory.

My paws pounded hard against the asphalt as I regained the same speed I had before, but my mistake was going the shortest way, through the heart of the area, and right down the alley Bane and Nightmare were in. I didn't have the time to stop and explain myself although I knew I would have to if he pursuited me. I jumped up the concrete stairs in front of the door and lunged onto the top of the dumpster, landing hard on my front paws. I didn't look back, as I knew it would turn into a game of tag if I did, but I just kept running.

I could see the way he acted when I mentioned food. Was the brute not skilled enough to get his own food? I may not hunt for my food, but at least I am kind enough to share that Kindness with others, who in turn give me food. Was he just not able to posses the kindness it took to get food from humans, or the skill it took to hunt for himself. That said a lot about a dog, but mostly the he was confused. He was trained to be angry and aggressive, and that's what the breed was, but he was kind. He didn't know how.

I took a moment to process his question as he changed the subject. I looked around the dusted barn before my eyes came back in direct contact with him,"I never really knew of a home until I got to a home with a lady named Debra. I was raised to be a certified therapy dog, and I was given to an elderly lady that I was able to care for a lot." I told him. I pulled back my ears for a moment before taking a bite of my meal. I looked back up at him. "And what about you?"

[Zalia]

Acus looked up at her, "Well...I as raised up to be a fight other dogs..my kind." he said a little sadly, he was tired of fighting and he just wanted to rest. Although it was many years ago he could still feel the scars and pain he once had. The pain still lingered but he chose to hide it. "I finally had enough and i decided to go out on my own." he didn't want to say anything about how cruel his master was in fear that she might be upset.

(sorry about these being short writers block...)

ᴡᴏɴᴅᴇʀғᴜʟ, ɴᴏᴡ ᴍᴀʏ ʏᴏᴜ ɢᴇᴛ ᴏᴜᴛ ᴏғ ᴍʏ ᴡᴀʏ?

I flicked my ear after hearing the first few words, it was the nature of our breeds. We were meant to be aggressive and although I wasn't proud of it I could be quite mean sometimes towards other dogs. I knew why he was ashamed, there were other, ones that didn't pass the class for therapy because they would provoke other dogs, and the one time I snapped I about tore the dog to shreds, but it was out of protection for my owner. I wasn't proud of hurting any other being, and I couldn't imagine being trained to do it my entire life.

He was strong enough to leave his situation, for someone raised into it, I knew it would be hard. Acus had a good heart and good intentions and just because he was loyal and obeying doesn't make a difference. "I don't care what you've done in the past Acus. It's not what counts. It's what you do to correct it or try to change to make it better." I told him with a nod of my head and experience. I finished off my fish and set the bones next to the bucket, looking up at Acus once again. "You're a good dog Acus, no matter what anyone says, don't forget that.." I told him, standing to my paws and giving a gentle shake to my coat. The barn had a lightly dusted floor covered with hay, and when disturbed most of the dust flew into the air and stuck to my coat, but I had been quite used to the conditions of dust. I sighed, already tired out for the day, I didn't even feel like getting up and going all the way back to the pier to find a place to sleep. A nice hay filled stall would suffice. "We can stay here for tonight.." I said, looking up at the large, old brown horse,"But we will not overstay our welcome. We will be gone by tomorrow night." I reassured him.

I haven't really been on much, and I don't know where you left off, but all I remember from the past few weeks is the following info.

Acus is with Rose in the abandoned barn, basically they are having a date sort of night.
Digger is on his way home with Parina.
Tyson picked up a stray, Carlotta, but he had to leave her at their pier with Athena to find his packmate, Saska.
Saska is out at the fields, she got cut by jumping a fence {That isn't really there.} and there are many dogs trying to help her. But there are people coming after them.
Bane is with Nightmare, eating.
Charles and Hollis are eating or something, and they found a fox.
Marvel may or may not have led the girls {Rintoo and Saska} into the old barn where Acus and Rose are. {??}
That's pretty much all I know. Perhaps someone else can add something. ;;

((Sound's right to me(: Thanks for the recap, even if it wasn't pointed toward myself haha(: ))

<Rintoo>
Rinto sat, her shoulders hunched sourly. "I wasn't going to attack. Merely attract their attention." She grumbled, only half talking to Marvel. She peeked through a crack in the wall, watching the old horse with the humans. Facing her body toward the exit, she let her head swing over her shoulder to check the others before slipping out silently, the wood pressing lightly on her strong back. Keeping low, her stomach nearly dragging on the ground, she slunk into the tallest grass next to the barn.
Her tan fur was nearly the color of the grass, but her white stomach and legs weren't helpful. The sun beat down on her back, feeling the warmest on her ears and shoulders, where her fur was dark brown. He head rose lightly as she skimmed the scene with the humans and horse, her ears pricked forward and a cautious countenance. She felt like quite an emissary as she stepped forward, her tail just exiting the barn.

((Really don't wanna be a bother by re-posting this, but nothing has really been happening on this RP, and it makes me sad to see the lack of posting on here, since it's awesome and all, SO I thought that maybe if i re-posted that maybe New Nimrod *hint hint* or f r i s k i p u p might reply, then it might urge others to start posting again? Once again, I'm not trying to be a bother or anything, I'm just trying to keep the RP active...(: ))
