Illusion now turned his glare to his packmate. Who was he calling grumpy? Surely it couldn't be him? Nah.

"I am never grumpy, I am careful." He said, ignoring the fact that yes, he was probably the grumpiest wolf that he knew. He did however, lower his fur and gentle his demeanor when Daedalus pointed out that the two of them could easily take her down if she were a threat.

"I believe that they may be a bit busy at the moment, but it never killed anyone to wait." He nodded his head, also ignoring the fact that many wolves had died while waiting for the medical attention that they required.

As he turned to start heading back he heard Daedalus speak.

"You coming cottontail?" He smirked, the tip of his tail wagging slightly. He gave Daedalus an evil 'Oh you big flirt' look over his muscular shoulder followed by a somewhat evil grin.

When do I start the backstory? He wondered to himself, teasingly, almost chuckled out loud as he started walking back towards camp.

Ignore

Ianuaria

Medic Apprentice | Female | 2 Years Old | The Great Eastern Pack | Mentions: Clotulai, Rags, Killjoy, Aquila & River
The female gave an unimpressed glance as her Alpha told her to watch her attitude. She could have a damned attitude if she wanted, she was done being nice for a minute. It was in her nature to be kind and caring, but she was different when she was running on fumes and in her medic mode. She was more harsh and commanding, after all she had to deal with patients who didn't comply at times. And she found herself having to deal with some now. Her eyes narrowed at the outburst of the one laying down. Oh, she was tired? She wanted to sleep. Well, she wouldn't get sleep.

"Killjoy, I apologize for my actions. But I must say this." She said calmly, addressing her superior. A slight edged in her tone.

"Miss, I have had no sleep for 72 hours, I have dealt with complaining pups, whiny adults, and others who didn't want to listen to me or my advice. So I am bone tired, so I am not pleased with your outburst. Also, a lot of our pack may be sleeping, do you want to wake them?" She said seething, a commanding aura coming off of her, as she stepped forward, " I am the Medic available, and you both have to deal with that. My mentor has instructed me to care for you, and it's my test for the night, so I'm not failing it. And you both are being foolish if you don't want to be checked and tended to, but you will be, because I have the authority and grounds to do so." She says with an even and eloquent tone.

" Both of you are nearly soaked to the bone. We may have double coats, but if they're soaked, we can get sick. Do you want to catch hypothermia because you were caught in cold winds with soaked pelts? Or do you want to go to a heated and warm den where your wounds can get tended to and rest afterwards?" She said with agitation in her tone, snapping her attention to the one that mention sleep she scowled saying, " you want to sleep? No, you cannot. My assumption is you went under water and possibly hit your head or stayed under for a while, you need to go under evaluation to make sure you have no fluids in your lungs or no head trauma and you cannot rest because of that. I can't have you dying because of that. And your paw needs immediate attention because it is either fractured or broken and without proper care it can become lame or crooked. " she said in a cold demeanor with venom in her eyes, " so please stop your complaining, because you'll be up for a while and I am in no mood to deal with a mouthy and uncooperative patients. That's final, Rags will help you to the medic den."

Snapping her attention to the other female she said, " And you, I need to clean and treat your shoulder to make sure it doesn't get infected and make sure you have nothing else wrong. I assume you have no major injuries to your legs or paws except for a few scrapes, if so then you can follow me to the den." She said sternly and with firmness, leaving no room for argument from either parties.

Kimulimuli smashed his face into the ground when he tried to catch a mouse. A very fast mouse. He kept stepping in front of it to try and herd it towards him, but it just crawled over him instead. He was getting frustrated, and really just wanted free food again. He misses his pampered childhood. He crouched down and wiggled his small rump around and launched another pounce, and accidentally smacked his face into a tree. The mouse continued to scurry away and he continued chasing it. He smelled wolves, but honestly couldn't care less. He could climb a tree! No wolves can climb! And definitely not as fast as him. He finally got the mouse under his paws and grabbed it in his small mouth and shook it around. Finally! I caught somethin'! Even better, my favorite food! Mice! Wait, is it mouse or mice? Huh... He laid down and started to rip through the mouse's flesh slowly, enjoying the taste. Never had a mouse dis good... It is so juicy... Probably from all that squirmin' it did... Wait, that makes no sense...

Livinia | 5 | Female | Loner | Mentions : Koda
The female had to give a pure chuckle as she returned the shove back, and bumped him with her hip. " And still a flirt I see." She said teasing him, her golden eyes glimmering with mischief. It was good to see him again. And she gave him a look over as well. " Not too bad looking yourself Oda. So how's pack life treating ya' ? Also you don't think I could meet your Alpha and Beta? I want to join the Raven Pack." She said with a beam. She was serious about coming back, after the incident. She had changed and she was ready to show that.

She was an excellent huntress and a force to be reckoned with when needed. She hoped to rise in the ranks and not be just a mere hunter. Beta would suit her just fine, and she had the qualifications for it. And she just leisurely strode beside her old friend, and she had to realize that she probably still had feelings for him . " Y'know. I missed you, it's really nice to see you again. Well have to catch up, I want to hear all the drama."

Killjoy smiled as he watched Lanuaria take charge. He was very pleased with how she was shaping up. He nodded at her, his way of praising her. It was a good thing that she was in a sour mood. It would take a lot of encouraging to get stubborn River to listen, and do as she was told.

He sat back and watched for a bit, waiting for the worst of it to come. He hadn't realized that Ianuaria had been up for 72 hours, and felt awful about it. He watched her with a sad expression. He waited for her rant to be over before speaking again.

"Ianuaria, I am ever so sorry to hear that you haven't slept for 72 hours. I will help you and Clotulai hunt for herbs tomorrow once morning patrol is over."

He felt like an awful Alpha at that moment. He should really know what was going on around his camp, and what all of his pack were doing. He bit his lip, and looked at his black paws. His claws were all beaten up and slightly torn, but there was no blood, nor did he feel any pain from his slightly torn claw. He'd chew it off later.

He looked up at watch Aquila. She looked terrified. It wasn't a good look on her. He motioned at River to comfort the young female.

It did make him smirk to see the very young apprentice boss around his mega Beta. For as long as he knew Rags, he knew that she was the proudest wolf that he knew, and that she wouldn't take to being told what to do lightly. He was looking forwards to that drama. Not that he would say it, nor encourage it. Or would he? Nah. He'd just sit back and ride the wave.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" He asked, addressing his very grumpy Medics Apprentice in a calm, soft way.

Ianuaria

Medic Apprentice | Female | 2 Years Old | The Great Eastern Pack | Mentions: Clotulai, Rags, Killjoy, Aquila & River

The female watched as Rags gave a chuckle at her little outburst. "You always were a fiesty one when upset." The older female had spoken as she moved over to Aquila to offer some support for her to move to a place where they could be treated.

" It's okay sir. It's the duty of a medic, it's not your fault most get sick during this time. It's just fortunate we had enough herbs in reserves. " she said with a soft smile, " Clotulai is currently foraging for herbs at the moment. So hopefully he'll fine some for us so there won't be that much foraging tomorrow." And her eyes narrowed at the Alpha as she took in the state of his claws and body saying, " you're getting a checkup too! Can't have those claws getting infected and you need to get warm can't have you getting sick." She said to the Alpha.

And she shook her head, " No there isn't. I mean no harm, but you don't know your way around herbs, and this is my test from my mentor and I'm not about to let him down. The only thing I ask is to be a good patient." She said simply, and she turned to Aquila who was frightened and she noted that hypothermia was starting to get to her and she cursed inwardly, " Come on we have to move quickly, there is some warm bedding in the medic's den, and we even have warm bear skin pelts to warm you up."

She said as she tried to soothed the young females nerves. She left the others to their devices to get to the den, and follow her. She led them to quite a large den, it was probably the biggest, after all they dealt with sick wolves. It was currently warm and steam was saving as she had steamed it to get rid of nasty germs from former patients.

She motioned to three neatly lined up bedding of moss, soft feathers and skins of rabbits and deer that made it even more comfortable, and kept the coolness away. She then moved to get some moss, and began using it to take away most of the dampness from both soaked individuals, and when she didn't as much as she could, she then put some warm bear skins around them to warm up for a bit.

"While you all are warming up, I'm making the salve for your injuries, but I need to go ahead and make a splint for your paw" she said to the female with a broken paw. And she examined it, it was a rather nasty break, she had to set it. And she took a deep breath saying, " I need to set your paw so it heals properly, this is gonna hurt like hell so I need you to breathe," and without warning her she twisted the paw to set it, and a sickening crack could be heard and she quickly applied pressure with two thick branches and using soft leaves to make it comfortable and wrapped it tightly with vines. " You will not be able to hunt until summer at least to give that paw some time to heal, and then get strengthen it as well. Your medic will probably agree with my reasoning, so stay off that paw for now. Also can you tell me what happened at the river?" She said as she began putting salve on her other wounds.

And she then moved to do the same for River, and afterwards she got the basil needed and said to them, "Chew it, it's an antibacterial and antiflammatory."

Killjoy watched Rags help Aquila, slightly disapointed by how she didn't put up a fight. He shook his muzzle, and got up from his sitting positon. He shook out his short pelt once again, and yawned.

"I don't think that my nails are really bad. There hasn't been any blood from them. I would much racther you help all of the other sick and hurt wolves first." He said, watching River. He knew that if anything were to happen to her, or Aquil, that Night would have his pelt.

"Are you ready?" He asked her, waiting for her by the den entrance. He walked next to her slowly, guiding her to the Medic's den. There he found Ianuaria setting Aquila's paw back to normal.

He flinched at the sound. He set back like a startled horse before taking a deep breath to calm his racing heart. He felt the taste of blood on his tongue, and cursed under his breath when he realized that he'd bitten it. He swiped it around his muzzle, trying to ignore the fact that he was startled by the same sound that every small animal made when he pounced on them.

He didn't lay down at one of the bed, but instead sat out of the way in the corner, watching the den entrance for any signs of trouble. He kept looking back to see what Ianuaria was doing before looking out of the den. He stared off to space, bitting his lip, deep in thought. His thoughts were all jumbled, and were bouncing all over the place. He watched a white feather float down in front of the den.

It brought him out of his mess of a though and smiled. His tail wagged as he trotted over, and caught it on his nose. His eyes shinning like a puppys as he blew it off and then caught it on his nose again. He didn't care if it made him look like a fool. The feather was so soft, and it reminded him of a wolf he'd once knew.
