Liri frowned slightly at the two, not quite sure if she should be amused or frustrated at their conversation. She had been keeping quiet, as first one then the other dog approached and had remained quiet when the last dog started growling. His handler was trying to get him to stop, but that didn't seem to be working. And Delta was in the process of talking to Sombra. Her eyes went towards the dog, meeting it's gaze with the same intensity if not more. There was the slightest change in her eyes and she gave a growl too quiet for to human ears, but enough to get the message across to the dog. And it instantly changed it's behaviour, lowering his head and quickly turning away to go back to the other dogs. Liri moved her attention away smoothly to avoid drawing attention.

Sombra glanced over at Liri when he heard a a quiet growl coming from her. He followed her gaze towards the dog that was quietly growling and held back a smile before turning back to Delta, "Nevermind that Delta" He chuckled. The looked back at Sargent Hannes, "If its alright with you Sir, we already have our pairs in mind" He said to the man.
Sargent Hannes was going to step in when he heard the dog growling, but he had wanted to see how the six would react. Seeing as the stalemate didn't last very long, he looked up when Sombra said something. "Yes that is fine, makes things easier" He answered Sombra.
Delta was happy that the dog had stopped growling, it honestly hurt him not to growl but he want to get in trouble for acting out or starting a fight. He rolled his eyes at Sombra for what he said, then listened when he asked a question to the Sargent and was happy about the answer. "Thats happy to hear, Me and Emery are a pair, Wyatt and Emerald are the second, and Sombra and Liri"

With the introduction out of the way, Liri finally managed to relax some. They now knew what training they were going to do and she knew it would require little interaction with the dog handler. Their job was simply to be on the lookout and shoot any threat which, in this case, were likely cardboard or something. Knowing that they would be able to stick with their usualy pairs helped aswell. She didn't mind working with any of the others, just had grown more comfortable working with Sombra by now. Emery had remained absolutely silent with the whole ordeal of the last dog growling at them, frightened of accidentally setting it off. It was definitely a relief when it backed down after Liri's near silent growl. She listened quietly as pairs were put together, glad to be able to keep their usual pairings.

Sargent watched as the six of them got into their pairs, it didn't take long as only one or two of them had to move to the other. Once they were in order he looked over at Vince, "You can choose who goes with what pair, since you know the dogs best" He said to Vince, since one of the dogs had an odd reaction to the group Hannes wanted to make sure there wouldn't be any accidents happening in the building.
While that was happening, he entered the building to grab some things and make sure everything was set up. It didn't take to long for Sargent Hannes to confirm everything was in order, he walked back out of the building with 6 guns. "These are what you'll be shooting the dummies with, they have rubber bullets, and you were all trained to shoot so this will be no problem." Hannes said as he handed each of them their guns.

Soon the pairs were put with the handler and canine they were to guard and training started. It went...not perfectly, but not terribly either. There was no serious incidents atleast. Overall most of the problems added up to confusion as everyone learned adjusted to working alongside strangers aswell as dogs. And the handlers got used to the surprising intensity the group of youngsters worked at and dogs learned to focus with them around. One struggle in particular was that the group of werewolves were just better at communicating in silence while the handlers needed much more verbal communication. This was the cause for quite a bit of confusion, frustration and miscommunication. Quite a few of the breaks taken so the dogs could rest had held quite a bit of tension after a rather rough round of training. By the time lunch came around, things were going a little smoother, tension fading due to energy being used. However, it also was a good time to stop because a few members of the werewolves were starting to tip back towards being a little frustrated. Especially with hunger starting to grow. Along with the fact that they had to hold themselves back quite a bit since they were working with people who didn't know what they were so wouldn't know what to expect, which would lead to them not being able to keep up very well.

Sombra sighed as he emtyed the magazine from his gun and placed them both down one a nearby table outside. He was happy to be done with training for now as it had been a little difficult to adjust to the new way of communicated with others that weren't part of the friend group. He has started to get use to it though but now he was hungry, they were all hungry at this point and Wyatt was getting cranky and annoyed. They were putting the guns down so that they could get in the truck and head back to the base for lunch, Sombra was nervous about it but at this point he just wanted food.
Delta was sitting down outside the building as he watched Liri and Sombra walk out and put their guns down, finally they could start to head back to camp for lunch. He wasn't the time to voice his hunger to everyone, only ever doing so rarely when he was really hungry. Looking behind him while he waited for everyone, he saw a rabbit grazing by a tree almost out view but he could see its little eyes. He started to watch it, which turned into staring, the wolf part of him begging him to try and catch it since he was hungry. His eyes went dark for a moment before he was snapped back to attention by Emery shaking him, "Huh? What is it?" Delta said with his eyes back to their normal icy blue.
Emerald had been allowed to sit in truck while she waited for Sombra and Liri to be done, and while Emery, Wyatt, and Delta sat down in the sun waiting. She stuck to sitting in the truck and bird watching to pass the time, and soon Sombra and Liri did come out and started to get ready to leave. Sitting up from her position she saw as the guard started the truck, the handlers driving off first, and the Sargent packing the guns back in their hiding place.

Liri was relieved to have training over with even if it had been going a bit better. Next they had to get through lunch, but she wasn't letting herself think about that. Right now she simply focused on clearing out gun, checking the barrel to make sure there was nothing in there before placing everything down. The training hadn't be too physically tiring really, but the stress of it all and the focus it took was enough to have her feeling a little tired. Emery was sitting nearby Delta as usual, basking in the warmth of the sun while she still had the chance, when she glanced over and saw a worrying change in his posture. "Delta?" She said softly, following his gaze out towards the trees, frowning slightly when she saw a rabbit. She looked back at him and panicked a little when she realized his eyes were going dark. "Delta" she repeated, shaking him in an attempt to get him out of it. "Your eyes.." she warned gently. Wyatt was sat on the ground off slightly to one side, sort of close to the truck. In a way moping. He was hungry, tired and somehow bored at the same time. His occasional yawns was an obvious tell to his slightly irritable mood. In this state, he would most definitely act out if given the chance.

Delta froze for a said at what Emery said, to others those two words meant nothing, but to him and the others. It meant they had a moment in which they could have lost control, so he closed his eyes and took a deep breath for a few seconds before letting it out. He couldn't lose control now, not on their first day/training session here, opening his eyes again he looked at Emery. "I'm ok now...thanks" Delta said as he grabbed a small rock and threw it near the rabbit, making it scurry far away from them. He looked over at the truck whe it was started up and stood up, standing up he took Emery's hand. "Come on, lets get going before something else catches my eye" He said with a chuckle as he climbed into the truck.
Sombra was happy to hear the sound of the truck starting up, the Sargent had already taken and put his gun away so he headed over to the truck with Liri. Motioning to Wyatt that they were leaving, "come on Wyatt time for lunch" He said with a slight chuckle, knowing how happy Wyatt was going to be hearing those words.
"Load up all of you." Sargent Hannes said the ones who weren't in the truck yet. "Its time for you to have your first lunch with everyone else" He said as he climbed into the passenger side of the truck, shutting his door and looking back to see if everyone was in the back.

Emery watched as he closed his eyes and breathed before throwing a stone the startle the rabbit away. A little worried, but feeling better once he said he was OK. She offered a small smile. It was a strange realization that they could lose control over something like a rabbit when they were hungry, but it made sense. The truck started and she looked towards it, then back towards Delta when he stood up and took her hand. She got up, gigling at what he said. "Would have caused for an interesting situation" she said, amused at image of him suddenly shifting and taking off. All of them would have followed his lead without question. She got in the truck aswell and sat down beside him. Wyatt lifted his head at Sombra word's, quick to get to his feet and make his way over to the truck. "Finally" he stated, quite relieved to finally be heading back to the base for lunch. It didn't mean he wouldn't act out though, he was still hungry and his mood would continue until he had food.

"Probably would have ended up with the same empty stomach," Delta said to Emery when she said that him chasing the rabbit could have been a strange situation. "We've never hunted before, so it would have been unsuccessful" Though he did try to imagine himself suddenly chasing the rabbit, his friends would have probably followed him without questions but. Would they have lost control as he did? Or try to get him to get back into reality?
As soon as everyone was in the truck and the dogs were settled in the other truck they started to head back to the base. 15 minutes passed and even before they arrived, the werewolf group could smell the scent of food from a mile away which only made them hungrier. Once they had arrived Sargent Hannes left everything to the guards, since the small group trusted them the most second to themselves. "This way you guys," The first guard said as he led all six of them to the lunch area where all the soldiers were gathered.
