Oh because Deryn wanted to be a I think that all the pups being healers where supposed to meet by the barn right? But I guess she could go to the river and meet him. I'll post when I can but I have to go soon. }}

Redemption's white tail instantly started to wag behind him, sending leaves flying up in to the air as he sat there smiling to himself. He was beaming with happiness and he didn't even fully understand why. Was this...Love? Did that explain the butterflies in his tummy right now? Although they had only been talking for a minute, they had instantly connected. And the puppy knew that Dixie was always feeling lonely in the pack. Silently he vowed to ensure that this beautiful girl would never be alone. She didn't deserve to be lonely. Even the fighter-to-be son of Armageddon realised that. He wanted to make Dixie feel special, loved and cared for. Because she was special. She was beautiful - with stunning drop-dead looks and an angelic soul. No, no puppy like her deserved loneliness. As he whipped up a storm of leaves, a bunch of red ones landed on top of his head. He abruptly stopped wagging his tail and looked up in confusion.

The kishu laughed softly, standing on her two hind legs. She took her left front paw, and wiped the leaved off his head. She smiled at him, letting her upper body touch the leaves, hearing the crispy crunch underneath her paws. Now what? She looked around, just checking where she was, before looking at her crush again. What do you want to do now? Dixie asked, looking to do something with Red, play, or whatever he wanted to do.

What to do? Red felt his heart drop as he remembered that he was on duty. On a patrol. Checking the borders. The pit bull cross looked up to Checkers, then at Dixie, and he released a defeated sigh. As much as he would have liked to go running off with Dixie, his sense of duty was strong, and he couldn't abandon his post - like how his father had been dedicated to guarding the barn every night despite his tiredness, and how he would have liked nothing more than to rest his aching body. Red's dutiful temperament came through again, and he stood up, half losing his smile. But it was still there, for Dixie's sweet eyes were fixed on him, and he felt himself melt under her warm chocolate gaze. "I'm on patrol right now..." He stated rather downheartedly, gesturing with his muzzle to the party. "...But you can join us if you'd like to."

-- Deryn looked over at the other pups that wanted to become healers and decided since they weren't' really being taught anything at the moment that she could go off and explore for a little while. She pulled herself to her small paws shaking out her silver and white coat before walking calmly out towards the woods happily a small smile on her face as fired leaves crunched leaves beneath her paws on the ground. She was trotting through the woods in the direction of the woods and thought of the other pups. She wasn't really friends with any of them, or at least not close friends. It would have been nice to be closer friends with one of them but she was shy and was always nervous around others. She walks out of the thick woods and into the area of the river looking around before walking down to the edge. She licked up a little water and then licked her lips as she looked around. It felt quiet and peaceful out here with no one else but Deryn soon saw she wasn't alone. Down the river a little ways was River and she smiled a little at him. Maybe this was her chance to make a new friend.

[@Fawn:-Checker's is still waiting for Pistols reply, if you could respond that would be great. Also since Ruger is to be a hunter he would be by the stream as you stated since that is where Maverick is taking the, hunting pups.
@Corgi:-Just reply when you can, right now all pups wanting to be fighters are with Checkers, all pups wanting to be hunters are with Maverick and all pups wanting to be healers are with Lavender.
@Bolt:-Red is just like Don, it's so cute!]

Maverick came to the stream and looked to Ica, Ruger and Ace. "Alright young ones, any of you know how to hunt a fish?" He thought the pups had some idea but he wasn't sure any of them had really caught a fish before. "Don't be scared if you don't know, you never know everything, even I don't know everything. Remember to always ask questions and that there is always something to learn." He knew that was the most important thing that the pups would need to know, that there was always something to learn, that no one was perfect. He turned to Ica. "Why don't you give it a try first Ica. Just wade into the shallow water and wait for a fish, when you see one you want then all you have to do is ether swipe it out of the water, or you can dip your muzzle under and bite it. Make sure it is dead before you let it out of your mouth." He smiled as he remembered his first times trying to catch fish, he had lost the fish at least 10 times before he had finally caught and killed one.

Ranger started after the small group, he looked around the woods as the walked along. He turned his ears taking in all the sounds and listening for anything out of place. He sniffed the air but only the scent of the earth and damp leaves came to his nose. He wondered how Lavender & the others could smell the herbs over the other things that were around. He then watched as Dixie left, this puzzled him greatly since they were all on a hunting patrol and she was to be a healer. How would she learn anything if she wasn't here to hunt herbs with Lavender and the others? Sure he wasn't with his father, but as a future alpha he should know a little of everything, even about herbs. He sighed and shook the thought of Dixie's strange behavior. He turned to look at the others in the group, seeing everyone was around he relaxed a little. But his ears perked as he heard Rose ask Lavender if she should go get some elderberry. He turned his head to Lavender and waited to see what she would say. He found it strange that he was ready to say he would go with Rose seeing as the tree was a little further away from the spot they were looking for herbs in. He waited, his heart hopeful but his outward appearance calm and seemingly uncaring as to what anyone was going to do. He decided to look elsewhere besides Lavender and Rose so he didn't seem to interested, instead he focused on a leaf that was blowing around on an old deer trail. The brown leaf twirled in the air then landed a few feet away from where it started. He of course could not look away long and turned back to Lavender and Rose.

Checkers smiled as Red answered the question. "Very good Red, we always check for any strange scents before going further on with the border patrol. If we smell a fox or badger these are minor concerns but should be reported though not as quickly. If you smell a bear, wild cat or another dog this is a very big concern and should be reported to the Alpha or Beta as soon as possible, even if it means stopping the rest of the border check. That is why it is good to bring more then just yourself on a border check. If needed one pack member can run back while the other finishes the check." He noticed his mate come up to the group then and sit near the back. He smiled at her, she always looked beautiful and kind. He still could hardly believe he had been so Lucky as to find a pack he liked being in, a mate he loved more then anything and to top it all off he had a wonderful family. He scanned over the pups again before his gaze landed on Pistol, the slightly cocky male pup. "Pistol, can you tell me what we do after checking for any scents crossing our border?" Checkers then watched as his son, Asher, came running over and sat watching. He knew the young brute would be focused for long, and he couldn't help but feel glad that Asher wouldn't be a hunter. He could stand still for more then a few seconds. He then watched as one of the pups wanting to be a healer came over and started talking to Red. Checkers held in a sigh and then turned back to Pistol waiting for his answer.

Barrett was feeling rather sorry for himself as he sat in the barn in a pile of hay. He blew at a bird feather and watched it go up and then down. About the tenth time he did this as his gaze came back down with the feather he spotted Trinity a patch of sunlight making a sort of glow around her golden fur. He let the feather float to the ground and simply watched the young fae as she sat in front of him. Instead of her normal diva like flirty self Trinity seemed rather sad and he felt eth urge to comfort the young fae. It seemed that she also had been left in camp and like him she did not really talk to anyone. She may be a bit of a drama queen and perhaps she was not always fun to be around but she still needed a friend, right? He smiled a little as she spoke. "Yeah, guess we are kind of the outcasts. Though I suppose even I wouldn't want to have me on a patrol with my broken leg and all." He let out a sigh and looked at his hind leg. "Next time I see a badger I wont be playing around, I'm just going to kill it." The young brute was talking really more to himself there then Trinity. He then looked back at the golden pup. "So, why are you still in camp? Surly you don't have anything wrong with you." He tilted his head and looked at her with kind brown eyes.

Annie watched Lucky turn to Chico and she felt her heart ache inside her. She watched as he destroyed the sapling and cringed just a little. She walked after him and spoke. "Stop it! Just stop Chico." She said as the fears Lucky had told her about before she was pregnant came back to her mind. Had he been right? She spoke again. "Just leave Lucky alone Chico! You don't belong here, you have no place." Her voice didn't hold any desperation, it was more anger then anything. Anger at herself and Chico. What had she been thinking when she had wanted to start a family? She should have listened to Lucky, she should have just been happy with what she had. She glanced toward the barn and did not see anyone. She was very thankful for that but also now a little scared since she had not just herself to look after but also the pups.

Hope listened to Checkers and then watched at the new pup, Dixie, ran over from the woods and talked with Red. She rolled her eyes a little at the pups, they should be listening not chatting. However at that moment she caught sight of Asher and a slightly dreamy look came over her face. As she had gotten older she started to understand her feelings a little. She liked Asher, he was a good friend and always there for her. He was a bit of a trouble maker and their parents didn't always get along but she found herself having other weird feelings toward him. She wasn't sure if she would call it love, but it wouldn't hurt to see where things went as they got older and her pup like thoughts turned to adult thoughts. She wanted to talk with Asher but he was a few feet away and she didn't want to make a scene. Instead she waited for her oldest brother to answer Checker's question.

Gunner fallowed Rose, Lavender and Ranger, Dixie suddenly left so he just walked on. He didn't see Deryn so he just walked on his own. Gunner heard Rose say to look for comfrey so he kept his eyes open, then he glanced from her to Ranger and smiled. It wasn't hard to see that Rose liked Ranger and the her seemed to flirt with her every now and then. He smiled again and whispered on his breath just loud enough for both Ranger and Rose to hear. "Ranger and Rose sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G." He giggled a little and then went on looking for herbs. He knew finding herbs would get hard as fall turned to winter, and then they would have to wait till spring to find most of the herbs they needed. He looked to Lavender. "Do we need any herbs besides Comfrey?" He had looked at all the herbs they had stocked, he left that to Rose and Lavender, he was more of an assistant then a main healer.

Trinity, in a completely out of character moment, actually listened to Barrett without interjecting to anything he was saying. She wrapped her fluffy cream tail around her white paws with a sigh, looking down at the barn floor with a dejected expression. Outcasts. There seemed to be a lot of those lately, she noted inwardly with a spark of scorn. Her own brown eyes met Barrett's for a moment as the puppy asked why she was still in camp, and she looked away with a quiet whine. "Everything's wrong with me." She said softly, her eyes suddenly becoming overwhelmed with the sting of tears. She abruptly stood up and turned away from Barrett, fixing her sad gaze on he floor again. Nobody ever wanted to be around her, and the only one who did was dead. Gone. Never coming back. She often used her looks and charm to get what she wanted out of others, but deep down she had a tiny pang of depression that threatened to release itself when she was alone, alone with the reality of her thoughts when she wasn't being a drama queen or flirting. "Nobody pays attention to me unless I make my voice heard. I'm not good at anything. I'm not a healer, i'm not a hunter, and i'm not a fighter."

"...I'm not beautiful."

[Quitting1015]

[Wait a minute, Trinity doesn't think she is beautiful?
Wow this is worst then I thought. ]

Barrett watched Trinity with a growing uneasiness, he had never seen the young fae like this and is scared him a little. He sat up as she turned away, he listened to her words and at the last word he shook his head even though she didn't see it. Never had he thought that Trinity would feel like this, of course it made sense when he thought back to Don, he was a good fighter and a nice dog, but he had been depressed a lot and he had a feeling the older pit bull had never felt he belonged till his last day in the pack. It seemed the pit bull had passed that on to his pups as well. Barrett wanted to move in front of her but it would take to long with his leg so he just spoke to her back. He wasn't the best comforter, but he would do his best, and he certainly wasn't going to let her get away with thinking she wasn't pretty.

"I don't know about that Trinity, everyone is good at something." He said. "Why right now with the sun hitting your fur you look like an angel." He was a little surprised at the words that came out of his mouth, he had never been one to say things like that to anyone, but he meant them. The golden pup sure did look like an angel with eth sun hitting her fur. He wished he was smoother with his words like Ranger or Red, mostly he had hung out with his sister before his leg was broken, but after hurting his leg he hadn't even done that. Perhaps he had more in common with Trinity then he thought. "If anything I am the one not good at anything. Why look at me now, all broken and worthless. But you, you are beautiful and talented, I bet one day you will make a big difference for the pack." Barrett smiled as he felt a confidence in himself that he hadn't before, a confidence to speak with words he didn't even know he had in him. "Lots of packs have fighters, hunters and healers, but you, your different. And that is not bad, Trinity." The young brute watched Trinity's posture and hoped he had said the right words, words that would comfort and make her feel better. "I am not really supposed to walk to much with my cast on, but how about we take a walk around the barn?" It would be nice to hang out with someone again, and he did want some fresh air. Besides being with Trinity helped him think of someone besides himself.
