Panting softly, Dappleheart leaned her head against Quickleap’s shoulder. She was glad to have some comfort in her pain. “I hope I’ll still be able to run after this. That stupid rabbit tricked me into running into a bush.” She growled softly. “I’ll get every rabbit I see from now on.” She said, trying to distract herself by talking.

She stared at Quickleap in silent horror. He can read my thoughts? HE CAN READ MY THOUGHTS! I'm so dead! She tried to step further backwards, hindquarters digging into the wall she'd already backed into. "I won't move around then," she replied, hurriedly, to Azurepaw. "I-I can lay down over here - or out there, better yet! I-I understand I'm not trusted around your packmates. Right? Packs don't like outsiders?" The last two questions were stated in a squeaky, uncertain mutter, her floppy ears pinned to her head as she noted their less-than-hostile expressions. Rather than calming the young apprentice, it unnerved her. This could well be a trick to lower her guard, pretending they only had the kindest of intentions so she'd relax and become vulnerable to an attack. Then again...she didn't need to relax to be vulnerable. Foxpaw was a scrawny, young, injured pup, who hadn't even been taught to use her teeth correctly because she wasn't fated to be a warrior; she'd never be able to protect herself against capable Pack fighters, which this one clearly had. She basically had nothing to lose by trusting them.

Yet, even that didn't ease her nerves. Plus, she didn't need their help, either. If she was doomed to die here, she'd go out expressing that - just as any of her braver packmates would've. She sat down, not making a move towards the nests or Azurepaw.

Lupinpaw nodded, and skipped cheerfully back up the hill towards Doepaw. "She said yes, well... sorta. Nightfire says we need to go with a warrior, and she needs to talk to Blizzardstar. But then maybe she'll take us. I bet I will catch loads out there." He grinned confidently, looking upwards again at the clearing skies. I'll catch something good, then maybe Nightfire will realize that I don't need 'supervision' or any help.

Quickleap sighed, and lowered himself further, trying to make himself less intimidating. It didn't do much, however; the Aussie's long, fluffy legs made him a lot taller than the average dog. "Look, pup, I'm no medicine dog, but I daresay that the splint isn't all your leg needs, especially if you ever wish to get home." He paused, studying her face, trying to read her. Quickleap couldn't really get much out of it except for I-am-doomed-and-dead. "You can't not move around, and just sit at the entrance to our medicine den." He smiled gently once more. "And we may not trust you, but, if you pause and think about it, there is not much you can do." He paused, looking at her again, trying to see past her terror. Hmm, trying to be brave. Poor pup, she honestly thinks we're some monster pack.

Dappleheart nudged Quickleap with her muzzle. “Saying it like that sounds threatening.” She grumbled, looking up at her sympathetically. “No one is going to hurt you, for one it goes against the code, and secondly I for one can’t do much to hurt you. “I don’t know how uncaring of a leader you have, but in Skypack we don’t just kill dogs.” She said, resting her head on Quickleap’s flank.

He was aware of Quickleap comforting Dappleheart behind him, which he appreciated. Azurepaw watched the other medicine dog apprentice try to back out of the den and claim that she didn't need to be in a nest. At her words, he couldn't help but frown. What had the others said -- or done -- to her yesterday? Azurepaw wondered. With Quickleap and Dappleheart backing him up, Azurepaw couldn't help but smile and make a mental note to thank them later. "I don't care about outsiders," he murmured and thought of his brother. "You can lay down anywhere if you'd like. I just thought a nest would be more comfortable."

Still refusing to meet Quickleap's eye, she replied, with more steadiness than the phrases not related to medical technicalities came out, "All a broken limb of my break's severity needs is to be set in place and to stay like that until there is sufficient bone growth." Although, a painkiller like a poppy seed would be nice, but...no. Just suck it up. A twinge of surprise shot through her at the sureness in her statement. Noticing seemed to put her back in her place, since her next words sounded far meeker. "B-besides, the only difference between resting near the entrance and resting in a nest comes down to comfortability. A-and I'm plenty comfortable." At Dappleheart's implication regarding her own Pack's alpha, her eyes widened. "What? No! My Pack and my leader are good to me, more so than I deserve. I need to get back to them." Finally, the other medicine dog spoke, but his kind offer was the most upsetting of all. Foxpaw's head drooped, and, licking her chops sheepishly, she started, "It's not so m-much that I don't want to lay in a nest, it's..." She huffed, realizing how she would sound, and instead finished with, "...I don't know. Wait, yes I do; I just think I'm fine where I am. I trust my own work."

❄ Frostfall ❄

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Frostfall woke to the sounds of his Packmates talking outside. He lay there a few moments, not wanting to get up yet, then rose, stretching and yawning. Upon poking his head out, he could see several dogs conversing and milling about. As he sniffed the air, he thought he could detect an unfamiliar scent. He had heard about a RiverPack dog coming into camp, though he hadn't seen her. She was already in a den when he returned, carrying two small birds for the prey pile. His stomach gnawed at him as he thought about food. He glanced over at the prey pile, trying to decide whether to eat or hunt first. With prey scarce, he itched to add something to the small cache of food.
The young dog sat down, taking in the goings-on of the camp. Two of the apprentices were conversing. He wasn't paying much attention, though at one point they seemed to ramble about cloud shapes. He looked up at the sky with furrowed brows, finding it somewhat ridiculous. There was a commotion from the medicine den, and heard one voice he couldn't recognize. Perhaps the apprentice. Frostfall supposed he might catch sight of the dog later. He wasn't overly concerned with it now.
With a sigh, he rose and headed to the fresh-kill pile. He ought to eat something before leaving, he decided. Frostfall was impatient to start the day, but forced himself not to hasten out of camp without a word or a glance. He could get so much more accomplished, he thought sarcastically, if he didn't have to eat or sleep.

At her words, he couldn't help but smile sadly. "Your splint was the right thing to do, but walking on it while it was recently broken was not. You know that," Azurepaw murmured and sat down a few tail-lengths away from the other. I don't think she's that comfortable anyways, he thought to himself and glanced down at her splinted leg. His ears flicked at her final words, and he knew that she was too stubborn to let him do anything, especially if she trusted herself the most out of all of the dogs. "At least just rest in here for a day. Your leg must be very sore," Azurepaw coaxed, unsure if it would work at all due to the current ruffled state she was in.

Doepaw had been sitting, rolling a pebble beneath her paw, since Lupinpaw went to go talk to Nightfire. Upon the older apprentice returning with news that they could go hunting on the condition that they talk a warrior, the young apprentice shot to her paws. "Oh, that's great! I need to work on my hunting...particularly hunting birds." She glanced up at the trees, watching a robin as it hopped from branch to branch, twittering loudly to itself. She'd practiced with her mentor, Dappleheart, a few times but it was slow going.
