Quickleap grinned at his fellow warriors, and nudged Lupinpaw. "Come on, pup, let's go." Keeping pace with Jackdawfeather, the Aussiedoodle lifted his nose and smelled the air. How refreshing it could be, to go on a patrol, or even just a stroll, in the morning. Lupinpaw was keeping up, and had stopped his complaining to save his breath. Quickleap smiled inwardly. He's going to be such a great warrior. "So, is there anything we're aiming for hunting?" Quickleap asked, keeping his voice low, though not in a whisper.

SNAP. A twig cracked, revealing the frail, young stray who had wondered along the edges of the clan. He froze, contemplating whether he would run off into the woods or maintain his position. He smelled food, and of all the things he wanted, that was number one.

"Whatever crosses our path, I suppose." Frostfall replied.
Beside him, Jackdawfeather was practically prancing in excitement, his tail waving from side to side in broad, sweeping strokes. "I wouldn't mind a nice juicy bird." he said, licking his lips.
One can't be picky, Frostfall thought. Especially with prey as scarce as it is. "We'll do a sweep of the territory, check that the borders are well marked and there are no threats. Along the way, we'll catch any prey we come across."
"Always serious, eh, Frostfall?" Jackdawfeather teased. "You need to learn to lighten up, take a more carefree approach to life."
Frostfall's ear flicked in mild irritation. 'Focused' was the word for it. "I smell rabbit." he said, sniffing at the ground. "It passed by now long ago." Which you would have noticed if you hadn't been too busy jawing, Frostfall added silently.

🍂 Brindleleaf 🍂

Female Belgian Shepherd ∞ 37 moons ∞ SkyPack Warrior
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The young she-dog moved through the forest, treading lightly to avoid being noticed by potential prey. As usual, Brindleleaf had got an early start on the morning. Unfortunately, she seemed to have poor luck today, and all she had to show for her efforts was a field mouse and a scrawny, underfed squirrel. It wasn't enough to feed a Pomeranian, she thought.
She lowered her head, searching for prey scents. Mostly birds that were high in the trees by now. Brindleleaf continued moving, hoping to come across something worthwhile. Stale squirrel scent, other pack members...
She froze, catching a less familiar smell. A young male dog, and not one belonging to SkyPack. Taking a moment to determine what direction the scent was strongest, she began heading that way. Probably a pet that had become lost. It smelled like a doggiepet, not a loner or a dog from a rival pack.

He lowered himself, mostly focused on not making a noise as he watched the strange dogs nearby seem to become aware of... something. Hopefully it was just prey nearby... something to drive them away. He was too young and hungry to think of anything aside from food in the moment. Not totally aware of anyone or anything behind him.

Brindleleaf continued to follow the scent. It was a pup, all right. And if the mound of white fur up ahead was what she thought it was, an inexperienced pup he didn't know the first thing about hiding. Then again, even Pack pups weren't always the greatest at sneaking around. She circled round a bit, not wanting to approach from behind.
"Hello." she said softly, gently waving her tail to indicate she meant no harm. "Are you lost?"

He stared intensely, unsure of what to do for a moment. This big dog... So big... But something seemed safe about her. His body wiggled as he stepped towards her, tail tucked low, "H-Hi..." He yipped, trying his best to show submission but also trying to hold back his hungry desperation. He flopped over onto the ground and rolled onto his side, a paw covering his face as he stared up to see her reaction.

"You don't need to be afraid." Brindleleaf said. She sniffed at him, trying not to wrinkle her nose at the two-leg scents that clung to his fur. "You don't seem to be from around here. You live with two-legs, don't you? How did you come to be so deep in the forest?"

Something inside of him trusted her. He rolled over, tail motionless, clinging to the side of one of his splayed out legs. He looked up, still laying flat, and yipped, "Hungry..." He didn't seem to understand a lot.

🍂 Brindleleaf 🍂

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

Brindleleaf tilted her head, examining the situation. The pup didn't say much, either too afraid, or lack communication skills. Was that something that could happen to dogs kept by two-legs? Maybe if they were taken from their parents too early, and weren't around other dogs much. She didn't know much about two-legs or doggiepets, really. Some of her pack members had originally lived with two-legs, but she didn't know much about the details of their previous lives. Perhaps she would ask one of them.
Whatever the reason for his behavior, Brindleleaf wasn't about to leave him wandering the forest to starve to death, or fall into a swift current and drown, or be mauled by a bear, or... She gave a slight shake of her head, to dispel those thoughts. "Come with me. I'll take you back to camp, and you can get some food."
