Morgan was paralyzed, for a moment, thinking of all of the things that had changed in such a small amount of time. It was very possible, they told theirself, that the creature was some kind of a project; to see what an intelligent stray orbaru would do with it's day; though knowing orbaru and the fact that he was male, it was possible that most of the footage would be... Ah, unusable, to put it delicately. Morgan finally managed to catch their breath. If only they had Waar here right now, Morgan probably would have been able to get that little critter tracked down easily enough. But Morgan hadn't trained Nico to give chase or track anything like that yet. They were out of options there, and Morgan was going to have to give it up, for now.
"Boyo, are y-you ready to get a move on?" The bespectacled human metered out with their newly caught breath. The houluh wagged his tail, and looked quite determined.

The chase for that male orbaru may have been a bust, but they had managed to find the veritable jackpot when it came to feral orbaru. There were tons of the little stripey critters around, all of them looking super similar... Why did they look so similar if they were strays? And why hadn't the Labs cleared out the little critters yet? They walked stupidly through the alleyways, digging in trashcans to get at thrown away fruit and such, some of them chewing on the grass that grew from in-between the cobbles in some areas. Morgan frowned a bit every time they came across one, scrutinizing them in the dim-lit alleyways, trying not to step on any of the filthy trash that had sometimes been knocked over by the beastlings.
Morgan was not a huge fan of this sort of thing, but the houluh was a lot more finicky, picking up his feet really high and jumping over anything that looked too gross. Morgan didn't blame him.

Thankfully, there wasn't any more running that was required at this point, the creatures were basically everywhere. Whenever Morgan spotted a male; they would follow it for a while. Morgan was sure that there was at least one male that knew of their little female, and well, Morgan was kind of hoping that they would manage to find that strange charm of brilliance-wearing male stray... There were lots of orbaru about so it was difficult sleuthing work. Morgan was very sure that they had been telling the truth about needing this done, since they were quite good at telling that sort of thing... Still, this injured female stray could have been eaten very easily already, or dead from the injury, or elsewise. Still; Morgan was going to make at least a half-assed attempt at it before going to get a REAL quest.
The houluh began sniffing around a bit more suddenly, and then looked up, and barked. Nico NEVER barked?

Morgan squinted. "What is it boy? Is Timmy stuck down the well?" Ah, biting sarcasm, as per usual. Morgan must be back to usual, at least a little bit more. The houluh wagged his tail, and then streaked off in a direction, following some invisible trail into a previously unexplored alleyway. Morgan sighed, and followed, having to jog a bit to keep up with the houluh's excited and high-stepping movements. Soon, he had twisted into the alleyways quietly. Morgan was having a hard time keeping up with exactly where they were in town, despite having lived here their whole life. Finally, the houluh stopped in a specific area for long enough to realize that Nico was following a blood trail. There were just a few drops here and there, but as they continued on, it got larger and larger. "Nico, you better not be dragging us into some kind of danger..." Morgan bit out, a bit nervously.

It wasn't long before the blood trail veered off down another smaller alleyway; and Morgan carefully looked before actually stepping into it. This felt like an ambush, and with all that had happened thusfar today, Morgan didn't trust anything under any meaning of the word. The houluh was moving a bit slower too, sniffing the air quietly. However, as they crept down the alleyway, Morgan realized that they could hear something... Something whining. They sped up, and then began searching around in the end of the alleyway; finally, finally Morgan could hear that it was coming from the inside of a dumpster. Morgan leaned forward, quietly, wondering if they hadn't just found an injured kid, or something far more dangerous...
Morgan couldn't see anything quite yet thanks to the flap and the dark shadows within the container. "Looks like this is it, boyo..." Morgan said, and then opened the dumpster to look inside...
