Mahanii ignored his dry remark, her tail high she started to sing, " oh darlings, darling sta-and by me oooh stand by me..." She started to him she was now trotting only limping lightly on her injured leg so it wouldn't start bleeding again. She had forgot Ertos was following her lost in her own world for a minute.

Ertos / Male / Shaman
Ertos rolled his eyes as he walked. He didn't care for howling but had a decent voice. The male sighed as he followed her, unsure of what to do. "Soooo.. You wanted to talk to me or what?" He asked, suddenly realizing that Jojo had looked a little distant when he left. He would have to help her when he returned with herbs and lots of medicinal objects. His mind always on his work, Ertos busied himself with quizzing himself on diseases and cures as he walked. The blue eyed wolf eyed Mahanii, pondering on a herbal mixture to remove the dye in her fur. She certainly couldn't hunt like that, and who knows what the paint was doing to her skin. For all he knew it could be toxic.

"Here we are, I call it Jonii garden, after my brother of course" she said looking at the field it had an all kinds of plants from catnip to mints poppyseeds to sunflowers, and the roots she really didn't know. " you were looking for herbs right" she turned and smiled "I just wanted to show you this she said I know you like being on your own" she turned to let Ertos be by himself.

Ertos / Male / Shaman
The male narrowed his eyes at the sight. Under the snow it seemed that there were strange mounds everywhere, under which he assumed that there were the herbs and other plants he needed. "Wow.. Thank you." He said quite simply, truly at a loss for words. Ertos went to the nearest mound of snow and dug in carefully, trying to not damage the herbs underneath. He pulled out a few and recognized them as use able, so he started working. The male walked from one mound to another, sampling and gathering the plants. When he had enough, Ertos collected his pile in his mouth and some ticked under his chin. "I never knew you had a brother." He said through a mouth of herbs and slowly started walking back.

smiling she had walked along side with him "Pff, Damsel in distress. Unlikely" she chuckled, she may have been a damsel but never in her years had she been in distress to the point she needed someone to help her. Flicking her ear back she grinned as she nipped playfully at his flank before sprinting forward in long strides, the mixture of her parents genes had granted her the stamina of a herd of elks and the body built to manage that much energy in running. A female built to chase prey down with little effort.
This is what she loved doing, running through the trees contently, it reminded her of when her father was training her and her brothers. Pushing the three to their limits the best he could.
Pausing a few clicks ahead of the male she smiled back at the male, her ear folded over slightly giving her the look of a pup waiting to play "Comon slow poke, I though you wanted to do somethin fun" she barked at him playfully

She looked at her paws, "Yea I did," she said sadly. "He was my best friend the only one who stood by me protected me" a tear fell from her face. "Till my rat bastured of a father killed him for challenged him for our freedom." She hackles raised a growl slipped her throat, her claws scratched the snow covered dirt. "I'll kill him for what he did, but until then I just got to get stronger" she turned to Ertos a fake smile on her face.

The blue eyed male smirked at Cerin, loving every moment of it. He nudged her playfully and spoke. "I hardly think of you in distress, really. I like to think of you as a wolf to confide in more than someone to help." Navdur said, slightly surprised with himself. She really did make things easy to talk about. As he ran beside her, he had a hard time keeping up. Cerin clearly loved to run. She had the perfect skill to be a hunter and was good at it. "I'll show you a place I found a while ago. Do you remember the place we met, the river?" He asked, wiggling a bit and wagging his tail. Navdur did a play bow and looked more like a pup than a grown wolf.

Ertos / Male / Guard
"Mahanii, I can tell a fake smile from a real one. Violence breeds violence, you know. I am a shaman to mend the weak and heal the sick. It's my passion. " Ertos said, trying to have a sympathetic tone. He would have to get back to Judgment Day's den to help her organize the herbs and hopefully for his next lessons. Lessons were the most enjoyable part of Ertos's day. Learning was something that he loved to do. He nudged Mahanii's muzzle up so she was looking at him and not the ground. The creamy male looked over the blue spotted wolf with unemotional eyes, unsure of what he was thinking. " I am taking you back to camp and will not hear another word of this type of violence. My brother was accused of murder and it ruined our relationship. Do not burn your bridges down." He said sternly, a soft growl coming out after. Ertos trotted away in the direction of his mentor's den, not looking back at Mahanii.

"is that so?" She replied with a curious hum, she didn't really see herself as a gateway to emotional help- she was more distant then anything.
Flicking her tail around happily she looked around with another soft hum "I do remember the river yes, is it near there?" She asked curiously, chuckling as she watched him stretch down in the playful position "Exited to be out and about are we?" She joked around. Trotting towards the sound of the river she had kept at a leisurely pace.

For once Mahanii didn't want to look in his eyes, but she did do as he ask. *Your brother was accused, **his brother was murdered in front of my eyes by my father, he will never understand** she thought. She continued to follow Ertos with no sounds

"Well, there's this place that I want to show you along the river. Usually some rabbits are around the area as well, so if you want a bite to eat you can." Navdur said as he walked along the river with Cerin. He trotted down ahead of her to try to block the noise that was coming from it, sure that it would be a dead giveaway to his surprise. While he walked Navdur whistled quietly. "Yeah, I guess. I just like being out of camp for once. It's nice."

Ertos / Male / Shaman
He took a few more steps into the direction of Jojo's den behind it his own, but stopped to make sure the female was following. She was, so he continued on without a word. Ertos sighed and put down the herbs for a moment, but didn't turn around to face Mahanii. "I.. Apologize for my earlier behavior." He said calmly, picked up the herbs and carried on. He could see the den and it wasn't all that far away. It was useful to know that there were herbs so close to the den.
Making his way into Judgment Day's den, he set the bundle down and walked over to her. Now that he was done with that bit of exploration, he would try to help his mentor. "I got some more herbs for the stocks." He said distantly, clearly deep in thought.

Aaand I got sick again. Yay for shit immune systems! Time to play Dishonered for 24 hours straight. . . ))

Judgement Day gave a whimper as she curled into a tighter ball. Her nightmares had taken a grasp on her, stealing her precious sleep and replacing it with a hellish rest that had brought her to tears. She scrabbled at her soft bedding, trying to escape whatever monsters tormented her in her dreams, before bolting awake at the sound of Ertos's voice. She breathed heavily, not even trying to mask the fear still dancing in her earthen and icy eyes. Eyes darting to the intruder, she sighed, slumping down into the disheveled remains of her bed. Lifting her tail, she brushed away tears, her nose sniffing.

"That's great." She commented blandly, her gaze towards the floor before she closed them and sighed. 'It was only a dream. It's okay Jojo.' She thought of a comment she could make, one that would tease her poor apprentice but thought better of it. She didn't feel up to par to be able to carry it out. She gave a swish of her bushy tail, stretching out a black paw to push the bundle halfheartedly towards an alcove she had made for storing the precious herbs.
"I do hope you cut cleanly and saved the plant for the spring." She commented, limp ears twitching ever so slightly. Hell, she thought, she had been better when she had first met the Alpha, nearly getting her throat ripped from her emaciated body.

Jealousy sparked within her as she remembered of his unofficial mate. She couldn't lie, she was attracted to his raw power, the way he kept his head high, and the way he delivered justice swiftly and fairly. It wasn't fair of her to send ill-will towards the Alphess, but she couldn't help but hate the other female. She nearly pushed the subject from her mind until she remembered what she had been running from. Distraction was welcomed. Her eyes meandered up towards Ertos. He had definitely toughened up after working with her for only a week, and she couldn't help but give a smirk as she realized she was rubbing off on him. He had become more confident. More. . . grown-up than she previously thought him as. Her thought made their way back to Soul and Ashe. They would surely have pups, strong and beautiful. No, she could never have a mate. A mate would surely want pups that she could not have.

The nightmare still looked in the back of her mind, causing her to shiver before trying to occupy herself more with pointless thoughts. Putting on a smile that failed to reach her eyes, she waited for Ertos to respond.

Mahanii looked at Ertos, "It's OK" she said softliy she really didn't take Ertos apologize seriously. When they where close to the Shaman's den she looked at her feet again, "I'm just going to go and grab a bite to eat OK Ertos" she said not looking back at him. Truth is she really wasn't hungry, far from it really she felt as if her stomach was in a big knot.

Ertos / Male / Shaman
Ertos looked at the ground when he saw Jojo. His mentor, of all wolves had his utmost respect and to see her like that made him worried. He watched as she brushed away tears from her brown and blue eyes, a slight frown on his face. He could tell that she had been having a bad dream, by the way he had heard her whimpering in her sleep as he walked in. Nudging the herbs to the side for the moment Ertos looked down at the slightly younger wolf. The male looked his mentor over, only taking notice now that she didn't have the same build of a wolf. Sure, he had know she was a wolfdog but didn't really ask about it. In fact, he really didn't know much about her at all. Ertos saw this as a chance to learn about his secretive mentor.
"Of course. I learned from the best, you know. From the way you taught me, I could break a branch clean in half." He said with a small smile of admiration. Looking around the den, Ertos nudged the remains of her bed together and started sorting the herbs together. He always had to have order in how everything was organized. There would be no mess while Ertos was still standing. While he gently pushed the various plants into their places, he looked back at Judgment Day. "I, ahem, saw what happened when you were sleeping. Do you.. Want to talk about it?" The male attempted to comfort his mentor as he knew very well how terrible some dreams could be. He saw right through the smile on her face, and only briefly replied to Mahanii. "I'll be a bit in here. Howl if you need me."

Yes. Even though wolves and dogs are considered interfertile, thins can happen, especially to runts. ))

Jojo gave a chuckle. "Just making sure." She shuffled as Ertos tried cleaning up her mess. "Oh," she mumbled bashfully, "um. . . not really." She averted her gaze.

Judgement Day kept to herself, just as she was always told to. She never had a need to confide in others, nor did she ever need to lean against them for support. She had been fine then, she would be fine now. "I just sometimes have bad dreams. I overreact, that's it." 'You both know that's a lie.' She commented to herself, not bothering to look up at the older male. 'You'll never tell anyone about your demons, huh? Prideful bitch.' She swished her tail as she stood up, immediately regretting that choice as her burnt paw pads screamed in protest.

Ertos smiled weakly and turned his body around to face his mentor. He ignored the bashful looks she gave him, and continued to organize her living space. It calmed him to do something useful. Looking back at Jojo, he could tell that she wasn't going to talk to him. At least not now. He was content with waiting for her to tell him, or not. The choice was hers.
"You know, you're a terrible lier. You look away from wolves when you lie." He said, content with his reconstruction of his mentor's bed. Ertos headed for the entrance of the den and looked back at Judgment Day. "If you need anything, I'll be visiting with Mahanii for a bit." He said in a softtone, but regretted it after when he remembered he was talking to his mentor. Jojo usually didn't need help. She liked to keep to herself, he noticed.
