"Well... I haven't had the best luck hunting lately. I'll need to gather my strength again... Sonya on the other hand" Dare said looking back at the love who would reject then bring him back again, and again, "is very healthy, and strong. She is a smart, and powerful warrior. You'd be wise to learn from her. "Sonya wasn't all the way asleep and heard him. She smiled to herself. How she loved him, yet hated him at the same time.

Kaira gave a nod and stood up stiffly. "The fiercest thing I've fought for the last few moons was an elk," she grunted, gesturing to Kanrik. "Looks like I'm going to have to attack someone else if I want to be able to fight off a thug."

"We should be able to practice most of our skills. The only one that will give us some trouble is stealth detection. Stealth, the art of not being seen. These wolves are stealthy. They seem to come from no where. We must have sharp vision in order to detect them. You must rely on all you senses to be aware of their presence except sight. Sight will throw you off. you must be able to follow what your heart tells you about their location." Dare said, laying down next to Sonya.

Kaira simply nodded, before padding out into the forest. "I'll try to remember that," she barked, melting into the shadows as best she could. She remained crouched in a bush, eyes on a spot in font of her, muscles tensed and waiting.

Kanrik remained in the clearing, but kept his eyes on the lookout for dangers besides thugs. You never knew when a charging bull elk may come along, and he didn't want to take any chances with pups in the clearing.

(They're in a cave btw... It's Sonya's den...)

Dare watched Kaira "vanish" but hiw sharp eyes, and instincts mad it easy for him to know exactly where she was. He smirked.

[Inatae]

(Whoops... gotta rewrite that.)

Kaira remained in the bush, wondering what they would end up fighting. Once or twice she swore she saw something move in a nearby bush, but she shrugged it off, blaming it on her anxiety.

"I'll go too." Ripple nudged Forest. "He'll come too, if he's not oaf enough to," she joked. Forest looked at her and laughed. "Hey!" She leaped into the forest, then suddenly stopped, and put her nose to the air. Forest ran up and came to a stop behind her. "What's up?" he asked. "Blackbird," whispered Ripple. Crouching down, she crept forward, then in a flurry of fur and feathers, leaped into a bush and grabbed onto the wing of it. Forest also jumped forward and he chomped at the base of the bird's neck. Dropping the wing, Ripple uprighted herself. "Nice," she commented. "One down, a bunch more to go," Forest's voice was muffled under the blackbird's feathers.

(they are in a cave... its Sonya's den.)

Dare put his down, and listened to what the wolves were doing. Two were hunting, several were standing, and siting near by, the pups were nursing, and one was roaming.

[Inatae]

"Dare," Kaira called out in a low voice, "I think there's someone near by... I saw something move several times, and I don't think it's any of the others."

[Iramez]

Dare sat up stiffly. "Come back here Kaira." Dare replied. HAAAWOOOOOOOLLLLLL "If they're friendly they'll reply." He said gently. "If not I can still sense them if they follow you."
