Shadow slowly moved forwards, motioning with their tail that Mariah should move into their backtrail. "It's definitely him, just with a strange metal tint to the scent. I wonder what happened? I don't smell any blood or fear-scent, old or new." They were mostly talking to themselves so it took a moment for them to realize Mariah had spoken. "No, I think he's alright." They picked up the pace despite their neutral tone, a twinge of worry causing their ears to twitch slightly.

They stopped as Quillion's scent drifted before their nose. "He's here..." They whispered. Their tail began wagging before they even saw the two dogs playing in the snow, one whole but for a scarred face, and the other attached to some sort of wheeled contraption that allowed him to move. "They're here!!" Shadow was overjoyed to see the two dogs and it was plain to see in their movements, as they bounded forward like a pup and leaped the last few feet towards them, causing the snow to billow up in a cloud. "I'm so happy we found you guys!!!!" Their tail was wagging so fast it almost wasn't visible, and they kept bouncing around, their joy was so strong. Once the snow finally settled, Shadow almost looked like a spotted dame theirself, with snow all over them. They were grinning with their ears straight up and their tail still wagging a mile a minute.

Mariah leaped over, or more accurately, through the snow to follow in Shadow's pawsteps. "Maybe the two legs got to him? You know they love broken things. If they did anything to hurt that poor pup...." Keeping up was much easier, even as Shadow picked up the pace.

As Shadow caught sight of Jet and Quillion, Mariah stayed back with a sweet smile on her muzzle watching them bound and leap with joy at the sight of their dear friends.

Name: Fang | Location: Insurgent Territory | Mentions: (Indirect) Aramis, Quillion, Isa

Trudging through the snow, his dense fur made it seem like the cold was nothing. It had been very uncomfortable being with the other scouts the last few days with the news that he had killed an Abolition pack dog at the borders. Quillion, he didn't know what was going on in his mind. He never knew what was going on in Quillion's mind, he was...unreadable to Fang. Aramis was a bit more clear, he knew she felt the same as he did. Except in a different way. Isa,,, seemed to simply not care much about it. It was an expected reaction, there was no denial in that. She was heartless, brutal, and cold. Although even the others were the least of his problems, it was the burden. He had seen the dog fall in front of his eyes, denying that it wasn't his fault. He told himself that it was their fault they were lurking around borders unaware, that it wasn't his doing, not his fault. Although something in his conscience told him that he was in the wrong. That he wasn't meant to be, he sinned, his fault, would he even be missed if he were gone? He made himself just as unreadable as he saw Quillion, he made his real emotions unnoticeable in his acts trying to keep up. He tried brushing the thoughts away, although they seemed to want to stay much longer than he'd like them to.

Shadows tail continued to wag as they nuzzled Quillion's cheek, forgetting themselves for a moment in their excitement. "It's good to see you too. I was so scared we had lost you...." Suddenly they were fighting back tears. "I-I was so scared you had left the pack because of me.... I was terrified that you were going to have been gone and I wouldn't have gotten to tall you... how I feel..." Their voice trailed off with a sniffle.

"I was merely moving on to a place a little while away that is not in either of your territories." Her friendly tone did little to ease Aramis as she stared back at the opposing dame with a gaze as equally intense as her own. The broad is quite bold considering the condition she was in. Aramis thought, swiping her tongue around her jaws once again. The spotted dame wasn't anticipating a fight to break out quite yet, it was just a simple observation. She'd rather not, in all honesty. The loner was just skin and bones, she'd have a terrible disadvantage if it came to a quarrel.
Ramis contemplated the loners words with a small huff, eyes narrowing against wolf-dogs shivering frame suspiciously. like Rye, Ramis was aware that what the dame claimed could be a lie, and in fact, a small part of her believed it was. A dog as skinny as her would be desperate enough to go anywhere for food, even pack territories, she knew that. With a brow furrowing, the scout finally spoke.
"Is that so? Well then you can keep doing that right now, if that really was your purpose." She growled out, watching her carefully for her next move.

'Is that so? Well you can keep doing that right now, if that really was your purpose.' She stood her ground as the spotted dog spoke. She was so hungry, her mind felt like it was blurring. When was her last meal? Shatter couldn't remember. She was too cautious to hunt directly in pack territory, but too scared to venture too far away. She blinked hard a few times, looking at the dogs around her in an odd, unsettling way. She stumbled, shook her head violently, then clawed at the snow. When she looked up, there was something... wrong about her eyes. They seemed to lack all sense, consumed by the irrational need for food. And in this case, the starving dame saw the dogs in front of her as prey. She lunged forward suddenly at the spotted dog with her teeth bared in a snarl.

Confusion flickered on the dames face as the other made no move after her words. She didn't make a move to walk away, nor did she say anything back in response. She heard what she said right? She should have, right? Or was Aramis simply not loud enough? She gave a sideways glance over to Rye quizzically, as if he also had a clue on what was happening, before turning her gaze back to the other. Her gaze was met with the dame losing her balance and stumbling, Aramis thinking she was about to collapse, before the back and white dame would fix Aramis and Rye with a predacious stare. She recognized the look all too well, and when she saw it, Aramis's lips would instinctively curl away from her teeth, her lean frame instantly tensing just as the dame launched herself forward.
And in that moment, time seemed to slow by just a few heartbeats, Aramis's body suddenly moving without her even thinking about it. Instead of moving away from her assailants path, Aramis would lunge forward as well, snow billowing up in a cloud in her wake. Her shoulder would collide against the dames chest, her weight and the force of impact sending them both forward.

Jaws suddenly agape, Aramis would bit down on the side of the maidens neck, her grip enough to draw blood but not enough to cause significant damage, before her skull would reel to the side, Shatter now half thrown, and half falling to the ground. The two would land with a heavy thud, snow crumbling underneath their weight.
Ara gathered her bearings quickly, diving forward her jaws hanging wide open again as she intended to forward her attack. Before her jaws could reach their target however, Ara snapped backed to reality it seemed, holding herself back so that her jaws snapped shut dangerously close to the maidens throat. Instead, a paw shot out to pin the dame down as best she could, her paw planting itself just below her chin. As she did, her lips curled back once again, a loud, menacing snarl tearing from her throat as she did so.
"Calm yourself you stupid cur!" Hot air billowed out of her maw in a cloud, spit flying out at the others face, her copper hued eyes blazing with hot anger. Ara was unsure if her word would reach Shatter, but she sure hoped they did. Even though the dumb cur started it all, it felt unfair and wrong to Aramis to actually harm the other unless she had no choice. If her assailant was just as healthy as Aramis was it would have been a different story. And if the dame still didn't back down? Then so be it, she did what she could to rationalize with her.

Stixx stood up slowly wondering why the dame had bolted so suddenly, then realised she had a attacked them. Before he could do anything his head started spinning violently and he collapsed once more with a very loud yelp. (Birds go flying)

Shatter let out an infuriated howl as she felt a shoulder slam into her chest. She snapped her teeth in fury, but felt the jaws bite into her neck and whip to the side. She half slid across the ice, her claws flailing. She felt a paw on her throat, and thrashed, but doing so blocked her airway, and she went limp, common sense braking through the hunger-crazed rage. She huffed, her chest heaving. ‘Calm yourself you stupid cur!’ She dimly heard the spotted dame snarl. She shook her head wildly and lurched her head forward, biting at the other dogs paws before struggling to breath and falling down again. She growled.

Shadow sniffled again as Quill spoke to them, taking a step back to give him some more space, even as their heart lurched at the sudden distance in his eyes. "Hey.. It'll be alright, we'll deal with Isa. Mariah and I'll come back with you, and we'll all deal with her together, she didn't know we left either. I told Slate after he admitted he was my brother, but I didn't want anything to do with Isa at that moment so I just left." They were clearly holding themself back from nuzzling him again, visibly shaking with restraint. "I promise, you won't be facing her alone." They looked over at Jet, who didn't seem to recognize them, neither of you will." They took a deep breath before fully turning to face Jet from Quillion's side, their tail wagging slightly. "Hello Jet, I'm not sure we were ever properly introduced. My name is Shadow. I'm the beta, and a good friend of Quill's." Their eyes darted back to Quill for a moment as they said that before looking back to Jet with a smile and a quickly wagging tail. "I hope we can be friends as well." They took a cautious step forwards, trying their best not to spook or upset him. "May Mariah and I take a look at that contraption on your back? We have experience with two-legs and would like to ensure that it won't be dangerous to anyone else."

Mariah is doing her best to get a look at the wheels attached to Jet without getting closer to him than he may feel comfortable with after being with two-legs. "Hello Jet, my name is Mariah. I was hoping to become the healer for our pack, but someone else who was more skilled took the position, so I am essentially a substitute when they are not available." She took a hesitant step forward as Shadow spoke.

:jet looked at them, and kept backing away from them... too many people to be comfortable. he listened to Shadow for a moment and perked at the question of danger, and his ears flipped abck, and he growled his hackles raising:
"dangerous?! you think id be f#kin' alive if it was dangerous? you really think that?!"
:he snapped, suddenly seeming irritated....:
"ive been through hell my whole life! and now im being seen as dangerous? do you realize how rediculious you sound?"

Shadow dropped onto their belly at his harsh words, tucking their tail under them. "I apologize Jet, I didn't mean to make you upset. I've seen wheels like these before on dogs, and they can tangle tails and paws and cause injury to others." They crawled backwards back from him, giving him more space to feel comfortable. "I didn't mean to imply that you would purposefully bring harm to others, merely that the device attached your back legs may be dangerous if we are unable to understand it. Please forgive me." They press their face into the snow, looking up at him with eyes full of fear and pain.
