Pheonix
Age 3- Female- Mini Aussie Shephard- Lead Scout
Tagging: Alpha, other scouts
Pheonix flinched, trying not to cower too hard and show weakness. He was right. She had to drop her housepet ways and toughen up. Phe took in a deep breath and answered her alpha's question. "I don't know, Alpha, all I know is that he helped us hunt and then he heard a howl and had to leave. Maybe there were rouges and his sister needed some muscle to drive them off. Either way, I'll grab my scouts and head off. Sir." Phe nodded a quick sharp nod and turned away to find the rest of her scouting troop. With her ego and good mood kicked into the dirt, Phe had to prove she wasn't going to be some housepet nuisance. Pheonix faced the rest of the pack to address the dogs around her. "Stella and any other scouts, you're with me. Let's move!"

Stella
Age 4- Female- Husky-G Shep Mix- Scout
Tagging: Zaza - Mentioning: Pheonix, other scouts
Stella's ears perked up at Zaza's question. "Well, you get to the point pretty quick, huh kid?" Stella took another bite of her thrush, swallowed and then faced the pup. "Well, I was raised on the streets. So I don't know my parents very well. They went off on their own when I could fend for myself and I only saw them in passing. I had two brothers and a sister too. We tried to stay together but then Tyson, one of my brothers, got caught by twolegs and the rest of us decided it was better to go alone. I'm sure they're all still alive somewhere...or at least they were when the city was destroyed. I haven't seen any of them in a long time." Stella got a faraway look in her eyes for a moment and then remembered she was talking to someone. "It's fine now. I'm so used to being alone that I stopped looking for them."
Stella's ears flew up and her head turned when she heard Pheonix's call to the scouts. "Oh boy." Stella quickly finished her thrush and tossed the carcass back into the woods. "Sorry Zaza, the scouts gotta go work. I'll see you when I get back. Be good ok?" Stella bumped the pup's head with her nose before trotting off to meet with Pheonix.
