Noviliox - 1x1 [Scoinwolf, Onelyrics pets]

[Scoinwolf]

“Oh, you have pups?” Jay was startled, and then instantly confused by the pang of disappointment that followed the question. Why should she be bothered by that? Cylex was nice, and welcoming, and really sweet to her but that didn’t actually mean anything. They might have just spent some quality time alone together, but that also didn’t mean anything. Cylex probably already had a mate, probably had someone he was interested in even if he wasn’t currently with a mate. They were, essentially, strangers to each other.
Why should that bother her?
Jay shook off the strange feeling. “I’m sure your kids are wonderful. And, knowing Bella, she probably stole some food already from your stores. She also might have done nothing, the two of them are fond of their chase-and-capture games.”

Magnus laughed. “Mr. Sled, huh? I’ll take it.” The grey dog mused, following along. “Tyr or Roman could go look at the pup, they’ve both got the skills for that. Roman’s daughter, Bella, could help even - if they can find her that is.” He nodded over to where Karii had been blazing around Cylex and co.
And speak of the devil herself, Karii was stalking over to them both right then. She had a look in her eyes that had Magnus immediately preparing for all sorts of trouble.
“Oh no, little one.” He chuckled warmly, sticking out a paw to drag her in close to himself. “Dark Blaze and Sheik could use some alone time right now.”
“They got plenty of ‘alone time’ last night.” Karii retorted with a huff. “I wanna know what he thinks he’s doing with Sheik.” Her eyes narrowed in on the pair as she peaked around her adoptive father’s paw.
“C’mon, Kar, why don’t you come help us pack up?” Magnus offered, knowing the pup would love the opportunity to boss them around as they packed up the camp. He glanced over at Pyre. “What’d’ya think? An extra pair of paws wouldn’t hurt, hm?”

Sheik nodded, listening intently as Dark Blaze explained how the camp was set up. “Which is your hut?” She asked, curious. Her pack didn’t use any sort of movable temporary shelter, and the construction of the things were impressive. She was also realizing just how massive the pack’s encampment was compared to her own band’s small fire.
And speaking of massive - just about everyone here was larger than herself. The dao was used to Jahara towering over them all but now the Hyperion looked far less out of place. That Pyre was huge. It was almost intimidating. Sheik kept her head up though, focusing in on Blaze. He was nice to fixate on.

Scoin tentatively placed his paws on the slippery bark, his tail lashing for balance even as he carefully stepped onto their makeshift bridge. Lyric had crossed most of the way by now and he felt comfortable following after her, especially since she was offering help with balancing. He’d had a bit of a problem with his back left leg, a former injury leaving it perpetually sore, and was grateful for the offer of help. He inched slowly across the log, nervous.
Hastar let out a loud, long suffering groan. “You move so slow.” He complained. “It’ll take us all day just to cross this river.”
“And who’s fault is that?” Scoin snapped back, anxiety making him shorter than usual with the savage. “Wait your turn. We’ll be across quicker than you think.”
“I’m pretty sure the log will hold me.”
“I’m pretty sure it won’t!” Scoin barked. “Paws on the ground, Hastar!”
But it was too late. Hastar hopped up onto the log, dropping his heavy weight down onto the creaking wood. It shifted, rolling slightly to the side, and Scoin rolled with it. His bad leg buckled and sent him crashing down into the river.
The blond dao’s head bobbed for a moment before he was dragged under by the current. Hastar didn’t even check to make sure Lyric was secure in her footing before launching himself off the log as well, plunging into the cold water and grabbing ahold of the sandy canine’s scruff. He hauled the unconscious dao up onto the bank, pressing his ear against Scoin’s chest. “You need to go find help.” The large being huffed out, turning to glare out one icy eye at her.

[ThousandSounds]

Cylex slightly confused by her question, he took a moment to process it "Oh! uhh.. N-No I actually don't, I'm not mated or bred. I guess warrior and guard works just kind of took over most of my life time" he explained "But if I ever end up with a litter form when I do end up falling for someone and it's a mutual decision, then I'd bet there could be nothing better.." he sighed softly clearly dreamy. But snapped out of it pretty quickly, and looked over at her "Wait wait wait wait.. If she really did steal form our camp then we got to find her immediately before someone else does, We don't exactly discipline pups in any harsh ways, but they're not fond of the young taking someones earnings without permission at least." getting very anxious Cylex tail curled like it always did when he felt worried or a nervous wreck as he looked around with a frown trying to see is he could spot any leading road. Were his friends right? Did he really worry too much about everything? even the small details? Maybe. But maybe he just needs a vacation

Pyre looked down at the tiny pup. "If the lady so desires, she can help." was what he responded with not minding if the kid wanted to lend Mr. sled helping paws while Pyre did the pulling. he noticed others are nearly done with their bags over them all ready to go with armors and weaponry equipped. Redcoat nosed the litter of pups trying to provide any motherly comfort she could. As while Tiger and hex strutted up to him, and offered to hold the sled while he equips himself with anything he needs

"oh my hut, is right over there." he looked over and slowly turned to walk to it using his shoulder to keep the curtain of either clothing or pelt open for her to peek inside "It's actually not as spacious but, I'm not complaining there's a place for 2 and maybe a litter of 4?" he said unsure as he always slept in his hut alone "You're welcome to look at the belongings if you want." he offered with a smile

at first she had growled to Hastar's constant need to blab his mouth off, and threw the rope to the other side over a rock, but when She saw Scoin take an unvolunteered dive she felt her heart sink and water swell in her eyes "Scoin!!" she shouted with fear in her voice, before she took off jumping to the other side and running to find a way down and around, when she spotted him with the savage she slid to a dusty stop, and that fact that he announced her to leave jsut make her blood boil even more, she didn't want ot leave him unconscious without even trying to preform cpr. But what choice did she have, for all she knew if Hastar went he might not come back or he'll return with no help at all. "Urgh. Fine, but if you hurt him more than you already have, I promise I'll make a cup out of your skull.." she snarled in aggression and ran off faster than the wind the speed of her traveling made it difficult to gather any scents near by but eventually she heard voices, and made the turn jumping a few logs or tree branch to tree branch.
seeing a big band she howled for help.

Cylex suddenly shot his head up and abandoned the game and was ready to follow the sound before the grey female leaped out infront of him and skidded to a stop "Please You gotta help me, my mate Is trouble, an ass pushed him off the log under a waterfall, he's got a bad back leg." she whimpered loudly her eyes shaking.
Cy nodded with a serious glare and let out a howl for Code R.M7 Darkblaze apologized in advance and excused himself, followed by Brian and Degato, including pyre, Tiger and others either stayed with pups or slowly walked closer to hear the announcement. "We need a medic on board stat!" Cylex barked

[Scoinwolf]

Oh. He was single? Jay didn’t know what to do with how she felt about that, so she pushed it aside, refocusing in on their current dilemma. “If she has taken something, I’ll hunt you something to replace whatever it is.” Jahara flicked her long tail, striding forwards, engaging in the game. “Chances are you won’t even know what she grabbed unless she fesses up, Green Eyes.” Jay winked at him. “That’s the kind of criminal we’re dealing with.” The Hyperion paused her stride, indicating a patch of brush. “Familiarize yourself with her scent for she stoped here for a short while.” Jay could tell already where Bella was, and exactly what she had stolen, but didn’t want to give Cylex any more of a hint than where to start. The big guy certainly worried too much and could use a playful break.

-

Karii looked Pyre up and down before raising her nose up into the air with an exaggerated “Hmph!” She promptly turned her back on him and refocused in on Magnus. “I sent Cylex and Jahara to go find Bella.” She informed her chosen father.
“I’m sure Roman will appreciate that very much.” Magnus nodded along, a smile softening his muzzle. “Why don’t you go inform him?” He suggested, watching as she nodded gravely and scampered off. Amused once more he glanced back up at Pyre. “She’s very particular about titles, that one. ‘Lady’ is not an acceptable one and you, sir, have just put yourself on her prank list for that.” He chuckled.

“A place for two and a litter of four, hm?” Sheik glanced over her shoulder at him slyly, a teasing note in her voice. “Why Dark Blaze, we just met.” The grey and brown canine poked around at his belongings out of interest, but didn’t linger too long. “Oh. You stayed the night at my camp, you’ve not had a chance to pack up yet.” She realized, backing out of his hut to give him space. Hearing a commotion at the edge of camp, her ears perked up, and she trotted back over.
“A medic? Take Roman.” Sheik instructed, summoning the dao with a flick of her tail. The band mate in question hauled himself to his paws, Bella and Karii running up to him.
“I can come too.” Tyr offered from his place besides Jaina but Sheik shook her head.
“You’re needed here.” She silenced any protest from him, much to Jaina’s relief. Eyeing the size of the squad Cylex had assembled, Sheik decided sending any more of her own dao would be too much of a crowd.
“I’ll take Bella with me.” Roman decided. “I might need her small paws.” He finished buckling on his medical bag and Bella clambered up on his back, slipping paws under the harness and securing herself on top of her father. Usually she could run by herself, but they both knew she’d not keep up with the much larger canines that Cylex’s pack consisted of.

[ThousandSounds]

Cylex observed as the 2 medical awaited the pick, "Tyr, would you mind coming with?" he turned to the male taking a small step closer "I don't exactly want to get pups involved into this. No offense" he excused himself to Sheik. "Would it be alright with you?" he asked, hoping for a quick answer as said mate's life could be in trouble.
"Cyleexx~.." Blaze nervously calling to hurry him up.
"Go I'll catch up." Blaze nodded and followed Lyric leading the group of 4 (including himself), "If it easiest your mate, I promise I'll take good care of your husband, ma'am."

[Scoinwolf]

Roman bristled up at once, whipping around to glare at Cylex. "Sheik already made her decision." He growled. "Tyr's needed here. I'm the one who's going." The large dao paced between the two leaders, glaring down Cylex.
Tyr looked between the two, feeling Jaina press closer up against him. He didn't want to get into this, knowing that more conflicts would arise as both leaders tried to make decisions regarding each other's pack members. "I'm fine staying." He curled up with his mate, listening to her breathing. "Jaina is due any day now and I'm the one with more experience with childbirth."
"Not that I'd let Roman near my babies anyways!" Jaina butted in with a bark.
Sheik herself wasn't thrilled with this questioning of her authority, which, though done politely (which she appreciated), was wasting time. "It's settled. Roman's going. Bella is more than capable of attending with him." Not that anyone could have stopped the dao anyways as Roman was already bounding after the stranger, catching up quickly.

[ThousandSounds]

Silently he snarled and ripped the healing herb off of his wounded torso causing a new bleeding woundage as he ran to catch up with his band, more annoyed than offended, completely just ignoring the dao's hardheadedness at this point, never had he ever met someone with such disrespect, then again as he thought about it he could've had it much worse.
Thankfully since the herb was fresh it was still use-able.

Lyric dropped crashing to the ground and resting on her head on top of her mates, Tiger then settled down his bag and asked Pyre to assist him, "Be gentle, this is a very delicate process." Tiger informed. Pyre merely grunted in response, and watch Tiger apply the plants from the medical bag. he had carried with him.
"Alright that should hold it till the med- Oh here he is." he looked over shoulder, and scooted a little bit.
Brian softly approached the grey female and nosed her cheek as he whispered "Come on.. Let him handle it." Hesitantly she got up and followed Brian aside, he layed down where she flopped next to him burrying in his fur while he provided comfort. despite being the shyest one he was good comforting people. Cylex leaped down from a tree. "Oh for the love of..." he rolled his eye sand mumbled. He exchanges gazes with Brian and and the young canine noticed the frustration in his leader's eyes. he found it more intimidating without the glasses.
Cy dropped the herb. "Use it." he said and turned his back to the shorter male. "Pyre." he called in a firm addressing, the black male approached "Fill me."
"I'm no medic, looks like a twist, or a buckled bone. Might need some cloth to wrap around."
"Don't tell me you didn't bring any..." he was guessing as he held his paw over his muzzle. "Alright, well let's hope it's a quick recovery." he looked back at the crowd and kept walking away further and looked back at pyre who saw the hint and followed, till they were out of hearing range, and Cylex started silently. "I don't think they'll make it.. Alone."
"And you are suggesting?" the big male looked down at the dark and white male.
"Please don't look down at me, that is super weird, but I'm saying.. Maybe we bring them with us, sure it'll be more members and mouths to feed but, we've been through worse. and by the looks of it, they could use the help they can get." the black male merely stared "We'll discuss it with them and others when he's awake"

[Scoinwolf]

Roman butted his way past the others silently, still clearly agitated, annoyed with the other pack's leader for trying to overrule his own leader's orders. He was not a part of Cylex's pack, the big guy had no authority over him. Ignoring the others, and noting the intense gaze of a savage dao, he turned to Bella. "What do you think, little bear?"
Concentration etched on her face, Bella ran her paws gently down Scoin's leg, clearing off the herbs so that she could get a better feel for it. "Fracture." She decided. "A hairline one. It needs setting but there's no open wounds." She couldn't smell any blood. The pup hopped over Scoin's prone form, listening in on his lungs as Roman worked to set and bind the leg. "He's barely breathing."
"Tie this for me, bear." Roman instructed, making room for Bella as she scrambled back over to him. Gently prying open Scoin's jaw, Roman peered down into the sandy dao's throat. "No obstruction, but he's swallowed some water."
"I know CPR!" Hastar leaped forwards all too eagerly, pushing Lyric aside and positioning himself above Scoin. "I'll save you with true love's kiss." He promised all too sincerely and bowed his head.
Scoin came to spluttering frantically, desperately trying to wiggle out from underneath the heavier savage. "Augh!" He wailed upon realizing what happened. "You!"
"Me!" Hastar responded in glee. "I saved your life."
"Excuse me!" That was Bella, slapping harshly at Hastar's leg. "Get your fat ass off him. He needs space." She instructed with all the matter-of-fact rudeness a pup could muster. "And for the record I saved him, you just got in the way."
Scoin managed to escape while the two were bickering, Roman appearing besides him to lend a shoulder.
"Easy now. You'll not be putting much pressure on that leg for a while." He instructed.
"Where did all y'all come from?" Scoin was completely overwhelmed. "Lyric??" He turned to try and find his mate but his view was blocked by Hastar.

[ThousandSounds]

Lyric yelped at the weight of the savage dao, Brian stood up "Hey! That wasn't necessary you know!" he barked. and bowed hid head down to her "Are you ok?" he asked softly. He felt sorry for her, having fallen to stress, fright, and now seems like bullying. And at that point something in her just snapped, Lyric stood up and silently stalked over to Hastar before she lunged at his throat with a snarl, sending them both tumbling into the water. "It's your fault!" she growled baring her fangs "You could've killed him!" she swung her claws at him "And top of it all, you believe I'm gonna lay down to your push-overs!" right as she was about to make a lunge for him she-

Cylex sigh and admitted he was uneasy, And he was more than comfortable talking to Pyre about it, while The black male had other questions in mind as he saw his friend bleeding. And that made Cylex umcomfortable, he never discussed his wounds, with anyone. "Look, umm.. how would you like to be next in line?" Cy asked
"Hm?"
"I'm starting to feel old.." The dual color male answered.
"You're exhausted." Pyre corrected as Cy kept going on and on as Pyre continued to correct him, their chatter was interrupted by the sound of a fight breaking out. Immediately they shot up from their sat positions, and made a run for it back to the shore where they saw that Lyric had tried to take a piece out of Hastar. "The hell happened." Cylex demanded an answer.
Degato chuckled " She snapped, and now she's trying to turn him into a hunting trophy."
Seeing as she was about to lunge at the male or vice versa? Cy and pyre grabbed her by the back of the neck as she felt huge ounce of strength pull her back down, Pyre proceeded to pin her line a mother bird on it's eggs as Lyric struggled to breathe underneath his huge fluff.

Gasping for air she looked at the blue eye male and blushed in awkwardness as she realized the situation.

[Scoinwolf]

Hastar had allowed himself to be rolled back into the water and now emerged himself, spluttering, thoroughly soaked and shivering. The perfect picture of innocence, he widened his eyes, appealing to Cylex. “I don’t know what she’s talking about!” He whined, ears pinned back and tail tucked as he glanced nervously at where Lyric was squashed under Pyre. “I saw him drowning and pulled him from the river! I would never try to kill a bandmate!” He protested the remarks, hunkering in on himself and peeking out ruefully at the pair. He’d quickly ruled Cylex to be the leader of this group and so figured submitting to his judgement would be the right course of action.

Scoin fidgeted uncomfortably, focusing in on Roman and letting Cylex deal with Hastar. “Do I know you?” He asked the medic, who shrugged in return.
“I’ve met a great deal of folks.” Roman rumbled. “It’s entirely possible.” He tipped his head, indicating the broken up fight. “What’s the story here?”
Scoin sighed. “We were crossing a tree bridge. Hastar got overeager and didn’t wait long enough to jump up. His weight tipped me off. I guess it was an accident.” He admitted slowly. With Hastar these things never really were ‘accidental’ but despite all their differences the savage had never intentionally hurt him before so Scoin didn’t quite know what to think.

[ThousandSounds]

Cylex listened in and Given both sides he began feeling like Scoin, confused whether it was accidetal, "Something's telling me not to believe you cute puppy face but You do have a point." He responded to Hastar, he looked down at his left to travel his voi e overshould "Guys he has a point!" He called to them, which obviously sent Lyric to become balisstic and strugglign fighting back Pyre even more but regardless it was to no evail til he used his front paws to shove her completely under him, and all others could hear was a muffled voice struggling to get air.

Cylex looked over at Has and nodded "Alright, Since you belong to the band you can travel with us, aside from me there's also 2 female leaders and I advise you to not underestimate them, I hope you're not afraid of crowds" he slowly turned waiting for Has to move up as Cy began stepping and stopped to loom in the waterfall direction. Something about it made him wanna go there himself. He looked at the others then at Pyre who still held Lyric captive. "Pyre, you lead." Cylex's band mates spoke up ina gasp. "I'll meet you guys on the road."

DBlaze spoke in with a firm tone almost as a demand that he stays "No. You wont! You're coming with us." Cylex now felt guilt crawling all over him, and he asked him to please just to trust him on this one. And ran against the current trying to swim around looking for another shore before he reaches the big waves.

-

"We'll I guess he's freaking gone!" Blaze barked annoyed "great! What do we do now!?" He kicked a small stone as he paced back to his friends before he remember and looked at Roman. "Hey Roman, Think he'll be able to make the road with the rest of us?" He asked wanting to be sure that Scoin's condition doesnt get worse.
A weird funny pop sound emitted when Lyric finally stuck her muzzle out from underneath the black fur gasping for air again "GEt off me! I submit already you proven your point!" She called only to hear him chuckle and then he got up and let her go
Pyre stepped over to Scoin "I could carry him for the time being, All I need is for Magnus to strap the sled or carrier on my waist or so and I can carry most or all of your belongings with 2 bags of ours." He offered.
"That sounds promising." DBlaze responded "Alright, You're leader. And I think we should get back. The Gold pup probably misses her friend and Sheik is probably wondering what's taken so long." Blaze stated and Pyre gathered his packmates, Brian walking Close with Degato already started the road back, mostly Brian following Degato. Pyre made Lyric walk with Has as they needed to get acustommed to one a other, while he picked up scoin by the back of the neck err cuprum, and decided to headback with Tiger too.
Blaze trotted up to Roman "Hey, Think you could teach me to be a medic?" He asked
