Quickleap chuckled at Dappleheart's statement, but found Foxpaw's more interesting. Huh, lost her stammer for a second there. She trusts herself to do a good job, much more than we do. Makes sense, but still... "She doesn't want our help," he said calmly, nodding at Azurepaw. Then, turning to Foxpaw, said, "Blackrose and Azurepaw will always be here if you need anything."

Lupinpaw nodded, and stretched, trying to rid of the clingy, tiredness he had been so willing to accept moments before. "Nightfire is a really good teacher. She taught me all about hunting already. Maybe she can help you." He looked around impatiently, wondering when his mentor would be able to take them hunting. I hope we can go far! Then I can show Doepaw all the different parts of our territory...

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.

I want to help her, but... Quickleap seems to know her better. Or at least about her, he thought to himself. "Okay," Azurepaw murmured softly and backed away, coming towards Dappleheart again. However, he only sat down and glanced at her wounds. "I don't know if I can risk giving you another poppy seed."

Dappleheart’s ears went back and she grabbed a stick, “Get it over with.” She said before biting down on the stick to muffle her voice. She closed her eyes tight to try and block out the pain.

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

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.

Doepaw flicked her ears forward at the mention of hunting tips from Nightfire.
Said warrior was well respected among the pack and Doepaw had looked up to her since joining Skypack. Of course, her own mentor, Dappleheart, was pretty cool too, but even Nightfire's name sounded awesome! "That's awesome Lupinpaw!" Doepaw glanced at her paws, feeling slightly unsure all of a sudden, "I hope Nightfire doesn't mind though...I know I'm kinda pushy and uh...not good at listening." Doepaw was very aware of her unlikable traits as littermates had often complained that she was too bossy and always ended up getting them into trouble. The young apprentice huffed softly, trying to shove all thoughts of her missing family out of her mind. She'd worried enough about them. Maybe, one day, she could try to find them in the twolegplace, but for now, there's nothing she can do.

"I'm sorry, Dappleheart," he apologized again. Azurepaw leaned over her again and got to work, pulling the thorns out as quickly as he could. At the same time, he had to focus on patching up the new wounds with cobwebs and making mental notes to put more chervil on them later.

Lupinpaw shook his head, and grinned at her again. "Nah, I mean, if Nightfire can tolerate me, she most definitely tolerate you." He thought for a second, wondering what else to say, but eventually wandered back to his original impatience with how long his mentor was taking. "What do ya think, Doepaw? Do you prefer rabbits or hares? I think hares are more fun to catch, but are much leaner."

Doepaw tilted her head slightly to look at Lupinpaw out of the corner of her eye.
"Heh...thanks I guess." She straightened her back to appear less...slouchy, and began rolling some smooth pebbles under her paws. "Rabbits taste waayyy better but you're right, hares are fun to chase." The apprentice bared her teeth and nipped at a dandelion seed floating near her muzzle, "If I could actually catch one, I bet it would be even more fun." There was an undertone of bitterness in her tone, but her expression was playful as she wasn't that upset over her terrible hunting skills. There was still plenty of time to work on it.

She was really starting to feel her exhaustion by the time she arrived to camp. She noticed, with a twinge of irritation, that the small moment in which her eyes closed briefly during blinking felt infinitely better than when they were open. Being the logical dog she was, the idea that creatures who could only survive through defending themselves and could only defend themselves while awake needed to not be awake for several hours on a daily basis was asinine. Shaking her head sideways, roughly, more to wake herself up than to deter any bugs zipping around it, she began scanning the camp for her leader. She found her soon enough, though she couldn't imagine what she was doing. The beta could only trust that it was something important. Before she approached, she licked her paw and drew it over the ripped ear to draw away some of the excess blood, effectively reducing how serious it appeared. "Greetings, Alpha," she murmured, dipping her head infinitesimally to express her respect. "I'd like to inquire about Dappleheart's current state of health. Has she been treated for her minor injury? Additionally, though I'm sure you've seen it by now, we encountered a foreign pup along the border, probably RiverPack by scent. I mention it because I care to know what your...first impressions are. I personally believe that she could be a valuable asset to the Pack, Alpha."

The general consensus in the den brought a subtle sag to the apprentice's posture. Stay with a bunch of strangers? For a whole day? She didn't want to spend that long with dogs she actually did trust. Eyes darting around in a blur of concern, she merely nodded in response to Quickleap's reassurance. His kindness, rather than calm her, made her feel...uneasy. What reason did these dogs have to be soft with her? All she'd ever heard from RiverPack was that other groups were cold, territorial backstabbers. This was terrifyingly uncharacteristic. The only thing helping her avoid backing into the wall again while stammering was her suspicion that only these three were secretly plotting against her while simultaneously trying to extract RiverPack secrets with a false sense of niceness. Maybe the rest of the Pack would be more direct and she could avoid navigating additional, horrible mind games. Or not. Frankly, either possibility wouldn't have surprised her then.

Tentatively, she lowered her scrawny body to the ground, glancing up at the others every now and then to gauge their reactions to her movement. If they decided to lunge because they perceived her scant attempt at laying down as a threat, she'd be ready. Luckily, though, they didn't seem to share intentions with her perceptions of them; the older medicine dog apprentice, whose name was more than likely Azurepaw out of the two that Quickleap had listed, had already resumed working on the injured she-dog. Interest stabbed at Foxpaw like a jagged claw, and her head perked up in spite of herself. Slipping her hips off to her side, maimed leg resting atop the other to keep weight off it, she slid effortlessly back into the intent daze that had overtaken her earlier. The target of her spectating wasn't doing anything she hadn't seen - or done - before, but she still watched with a sort of awed zeal, notes being made internally by the minute. This time, however, she was well aware of a warrior's presence and actively hoping that he didn't try to engage her again. She was just waiting for whoever Blizzardstar was to see her, decide such a scrap wasn't worth their time, and send her off without a second thought. Or just kill me. That seems a lot more likely.
