Emma thought I hope Natan is okay because recent events have me worried about every safety even though i wont say it out loud. She had then decided she would wait for him to come see her. She hoped that it would be soon though. She was never really too much of a social butterfly.

Emma didn't really want anything bad to happen to her tribe. After awhile she had dozed off. Emma started to dream and it wasn't a pleasnt one at that. She jolted awake from the dream. She thought about it for a bit and then decided to leave it alone. She got up and walked to a shaded tree in camp. She laid down under the tree to get out of the sun.

Chinook || 5 || Ash Tribe || Alpha || M: Cirrus, Rue

The large dog dipped his head as Cirrus signalled that both he and Rue were ready. When the female confirmed the first's statement, Chinook released a small ruff and turned himself towards the main exit of the denning area. A few long strides carried him out into the forest and he immediately headed towards their border with Oak. Even if it had not been a member of their sister tribe who had killed Night, something had, and they had done it there. Were it to have stuck around, Chinook would find it.

He remained quiet, rehearsing a variety of patrol scenarios while his ears and eyes darted back and forth. The birds were calling, seeming to pay no mind to the three dogs travelling below them. Chinook's thoughts concerning Night grew louder; each pawstep carried him at a slightly faster pace than the one previous until he was nearly at a trot. The smells of old blood and rank fear grew stronger, stronger --

Chinook focused in on the present and tensed, staring over the imaginary line into Oak Tribe territory. The forest had gone eerily silent; only the wind made any noise in the trees. It brought a frigid breeze with it, and for a moment Chinook could almost see the still form of the little apprentice. By now, his hackles had raised and he hadn't realized that his lip had begun to curl.

He whipped around to face Cirrus and Rue and said stiffly, "Now that we are in less of a state of shock, I'd like to see if we can track down our murderer. The morning dew should not have affected scents too terribly. If we can tell whether they were in our territory... where Night's trail starts, where our borders end... then perhaps we can find out who did this."

Cirrus | Ash Tribe | Interactions: Chinook, Rue

Cirrus glanced at Rue, then looked forward once more. "Alright, let's go," he said, trotting after Chinook, slowing as he caught up to the larger dog. Cirrus said nothing as they moved through the forest, following Chinook as he led them through the forest, weaving back and forth between the trees. Cirrus noticed that Chinook was beginning to speed up a little, and he picked up his pace to match, trotting after his Alpha.

After a walk all the way to the Ash and Oak Tribe's shared border, they stopped. Cirrus noticed that Chinook looked tense, and Cirrus backed away just a little. After a brief look around, he realized that they were at the location of Night's murder. A surprised look flashed across his face as Chinook explained what they were doing, but he quickly wiped it off and nodded. He had thought that this would just be a small hunting patrol, he was certainly not opposed to trying to find the murderer, whoever, or whatever, they were.

As Chinook wrapped up his explanation, Cirrus nodded. "Yes, Alpha," he said, dipping his head. He wasted no more time talking; he immediately began searching around, sniffing the ground and air. He could still smell Night's scent, although it was very faint, and it was partially covered by slightly stronger scents of blood and rain. Cirrus looked up for a moment, looking at the visual signs of a struggle. Broken ferns and twigs, disturbed leaves. There were no pawprints; they had been washed away by the rain. Still, Cirrus began following the trail further back, trying to find the scent of the murderer.

Nick was just waking up and he stretched then he stands up. He walked out of the den and saw Emma and Sage under a tree. He looked to the Alphas den and saw Breeze asleep so he walked over to her and said "Um excuse me Alpha...Are you up for talking?" He looked at Breeze wondering if she would answer but she seemed so peaceful at the moment. He then turned and looked back over at Emma and Sage.

He thought Sage must be checking on the unborn pups. Nick wondered how everyone else was but didn't see many in the camp. He thought They must have went out for Patrols and hunting though i woun't be surprised if something else had happened while i was asleep. He turn to face the whole camp and sat down just close enough to Breeze so they could talk if she woke up but he did keep his distance. As he watched Sage and Emma he wondered what they where talking about.

He hoped there would be little pups running around soon and maybe another pregnancy. He then looked around and thought about everything that had happened yesterday. Nick wondered how the tribes would cope with this conflict and loss. He looked around agian to see if anyone else was waking up. Nick then looked back at Breeze and wondered if she and Naruto would be mates anytime soon.

Nick saw that Breeze had gotten up and said "I was wondering if you and Naruto where mates yet because i was thinking you guys would make some good pups." Nick didn't know what he was saying to he was finished and he then said "Sorry Alpha I didn't mean to say that....I guess my curiosity got the best of me." He didn't know how Breeze would react to his question though he didn't mean to pry. Nick had thought about getting a mate but wasn't sure. He did want new blood in the pack tho and with Emma's pups on the way it would be great. He had turned to face her wondering if he would get an answer or not.

Nick had thought about other Tribe mate pairings and what there pups would look like. He was very curious about how the Ash tribe was doing but thought it best not to ask. He had heard about Night and he thought He won't let anyone get away with that no matter what. Nick snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Breeze. Nick moved a bit to look Breeze in the face.
