((Sorry if I poof...I'm meant to be doing homework.))

Balina

The elderly dog's acute nose twitched, and in her eyes some of the previous fire re-ignited. "I can smell you, you know." She growled scornfully, hackles raised with all the strength she could muster, as she stood protectively over her grandson. However, she wasn't fooling anyone. Her flanks heaved and stout, muscley legs shook with the strain.

Amira

The large female dog pounded down the alley, carrying a leg of lamb (uncooked, obviously) in her jaws. It dragged along the cobbles on the ground but was a lot cleaner that anything they'd seen in a while. Amira dropped it at her pack's paws- Miru and Balina began to gulp it down hastily. Amira then turned, standing infront of her kin whilst they ate. "Who's there?"

you need to wait until Stonefly gets on.

[Guepardo]

Butch gulped. the last thing he wanted was to come face to face with larger dogs. He was pretty large, but not larger than them. he stepped out of his hiding spot. He cowered a little. "I'm Butch." He said, his voice small.

Amira

Amira let her guard slip a little, but so much that she wouldn't hurl herself at him if he attacked any member of her family. "I'm Amira." She barked gruffly "This is my mother Balina-" She signalled with her long tail to the frail dog behind her "and my son, Miru." Again, she used her long tail to indicate which one was Miru.

Miru

Once the three month old puppy had eaten his share, he stepped back to let Balina finish. "Hi!" He barked, completely unaware of the caution radiating from his mother.

[Guepardo]

Butch smiled at the pup. "Hello." He said happily. His gaze turned back on Amira. He wondered if she was going to attack at any point. He smiled slightly at her. He stayed low as he crept closer, showing he was submitting. He stopped when he was a dog lengh away from Amira. He barked,"I mean no harm to you. I don't attack. Of course, if I have to I will."

Amira

Amira smiled brusquely (I know that's not how you spell it...sorry..) at Butch, relaxing slightly. The short fur on her neck no longer bristled, and her hackles lowered as though most of the fight had been taken out of her. "You'd better not." She conceded, then added: "If my mother leaves any, you can have some of our meat- if you'd like. Of course, I'm sure you have enough for yourself else where, but every little helps- right?" Amira was almost trembling with uncertainty. She'd never really had to interact with another dog in this way before- they normally attacked out of desperation to get at her food.

Miru

"Hi!" The pup chirped, bouncing forward. Amira gently knocked him back with her massive head- so that he stood inbetween her front paws. "I'm Miru, this is my mother Amira and the dog behind us is her mother Balina!" He announced, oblivious that he was almost repeating Amira's introductions of a few minutes ago.

[Guepardo]

Butch calmed down. "Thank you, Amira." He nodded his thanks again and looked down at the pup. He chuckled a little. "Funny one, aren't you?"

[No Going Back]

Balina

Once full up, the old female dog retired to a quiet corner, and slid inside an empty dustbin as a retreat from the merciless heat. She'd watched one of her siblings die that way; of dehydration, and simply exhaustion. Closing her eyes, it wasn't long before Balina entered her dream world: Where she young, where she was (moderately) beautiful, when she had hope...

Amira

"Excuse my mother." Amira apologized, gulping down a shred of meat. The Persa Canario mix was in her prime- human leftovers where perfectly paletable for her but naturally she prefered to enjoy her food every now and then. She continued, once she'd finished her bite "She's old, but in the past she's done a lot for us, which is why we'll help her forever. She's great with Miru, too." Amira was surprising herself- she liked talking to a dog who was not her mother, as she couldn't really have an adult conversation with Miru yet.

Miru

"I know!" He smiled proudly, as if it were the kindest compliment in the world. "I like you, you're funny." He quipped, before scampering over to accompany Balina in her snooze.

[Guepardo]

Butch smiled and watched the pup leave. He lay down respectfully and looked at Amira. "Wow, you seem to have a lot on your paws then. Her and Miru. Are you ever tired?" He asked curiously.
