[Bigfoot: Come - 4]
Well, maybe the fossil wasn't completely terrible, but still, he didn't like having it around, it was just unnatural and it bothered him a little. Maybe it bothered him that she was spending time with something other than him though? Pausing, Goran looked over at her and the fossil working together and figured that might be the case, as annoying as that might be. Sighing a bit, he continued to dig while they trained and wondered if that was what was coming next for him as well. Annoying, but he could see the uses, he supposed with a wry look at the woman's back. She backed up again and looked at Bigfoot, holding a treat in the palm of her hand as she looked at him, "Come here, Bigfoot!" The Longneck sniffed at the air a little and slowly started to walk toward her. That was... that was right, wasn't it? He got fed if he did this? Going to her made sense to him in his little brain, it must not be too bad, he figured whenever she gave him the treat. Jack grinned a little, she was happy with what she was doing right now, and she patted him on the head as well.

[Bigfoot: Come - 5]
Things were almost done with Bigfoot for now, she just had to power through teaching him this one more time and then she could move on to Goran again. The gargoyle probably hated it, but that was alright, the whole thing wasn't just for him after all, it was partly for her as well. What would happen if something happened to her and all her animals had to go to someone else? At least they would already be trained up and all that, and she wondered what would happen in that case indeed. Sighing a little, she patted Goran on the back as he dug and then turned to the Longneck again. She backed up a bit and then looked at him, "Come here, Bigfoot!" The Longneck tilted his head a little and then trotted toward her, stopping at where she was and sniffing her legs a little. She laughed at that and patted him on the head, "No treat this time, you've done a fine job." Jack was pleased with his progress so far, and hoped that everything would turn out well in the long run. It just made sense, didn't it? Oh well, time to move on to Goran now, she supposed.

[Goran: Come - 1]
Jack plucked the fossil from the ground and put him into the cart again. She knew Goran wouldn't have a chance to really dig with this, but that was fine, she didn't need him to dig the whole time anyway. Bigfoot couldn't really dig though, which was a shame, or else she would have him do it, she figured with a little smile on her face. Oh well, it all worked out. "Goran, come here!" she told the gargoyle, holding out a little treat for him. The gargoyle sniffed the air and turned for a moment, pausing his digging and wondering what the hell the woman was doing. He knew what that meant, but it didn't mean he wanted to do it. Turning back, he started to dig again until the woman said more forcefully, "Goran, come here!" The gargoyle snorted and wandered over to her, getting the treat for a job well done. She knew he wasn't food motivated, but it still worked out for the both of them, he would probably get fat after all this training, but he would work it off and all that soon enough. The gargoyle couldn't handle being left behind, and she knew the training after this would be the most important.

[Goran: Come - 2]
All she had to do was train him up and then they would be fine, right? She sighed a little as she looked at the gargoyle who was digging again, wondering what would motivate him in order to train him a little better. He loved her, but that was the only real motivation he had so far that she had found. He was determined to find stones, but that was the only other thing that got him through it. Frowning, she shook her head, she couldn't figure it out, not yet at least, so she had to go with what she knew. Glancing over at Bigfoot, she smiled, at least he was food motivated, though not as much as some it seemed. Whatever, she would get it all figured out as she went. "Goran, come here," she said firmly, and the gargoyle snorted and finally wandered over to her, though not with any rush on his end. That was irritating, but she was so used to having her animals rush over to her, so maybe she was just spoiled or something. Sighing, she patted him on the head and fed him his treat, though he didn't really care, at least he ate them.

[Goran: Come - 3]
Goran was a stubborn gargoyle, but she had to assume they all were at this point. Sure she hadn't done much with her other gargoyles aside from socket them, but at the same time it was alright. She had Goran, that was all she really needed at this point, she decided with a smile. Jack pushed her hair back and then planted her hat on top of her head again before calling him over from where he was digging once more, "Come here, Goran!" The gargoyle snorted and wandered over to her, she would need to get him to go faster eventually, she thought as she handed over the treat. He was the first guardian gargoyle that had been found, she knew, and she swelled with pride as she thought of it. Oh well, not everyone could be as lucky as she could, she knew with a little smile. Bigfoot was still standing inside of the cart, this time sniffing a little at the two stones that were inside of it. She was sure Goran would find some more when she was working with the fossil, but for now she had to be happy with just two, which was fine for her.

At least Bigfoot didn't mind being trained, that was definitely a good thing when she thought about it. She suspected Goran appreciated it too, just didn't know how to show it. She knew he kind of resented some of her more trained animals, but that wasn't entirely her fault, was it? She would rather be with him in the mines, and she just had never had time to do the training. Well, she was now, so he should be a little more grateful, or at least she hoped he should be, right? Jack shook her head, "Come here Goran." Goran snorted and finally trotted over to her a little faster than a wander and plopped down in front of her, tilting his head. The woman laughed a little and fed him the treat she had for him as she patted him on the head. At least he was pretty cute... she had to give him that much right? Jack glanced over at Bigfoot for a moment and smiled again, hoping he would be huge when grown up and all that. She just wished he wasn't so... pink, she figured with a little frown on her face. Maybe she shouldn't have used that marquise.

[Goran: Come - 5]
Bigfoot was doing great with things and waiting a bit patiently at that. Maybe she should just focus on him if Goran really didn't want to be trained, but he seemed to have changed his attitude just a little at that... Hmm, it was tough to think of, but she figured it didn't really matter right now and all that. Whatever, it would be fine in the end of it, and she smiled a little at the fossil as she thought about things. Maybe she wasn't doing all that great with her animals, but she had recently cleared some space in her Kennel, so at least she was downsizing a little, right? "Come here Goran," she said again after he'd wandered off, and the gargoyle trotted over to her again and stood next to her to get a pat on the head. He would do anything for her, and he knew what to do when she said that, but it didn't mean he really wanted to. He would do it, but that wasn't the point he thought with a rumble from his throat. Jack smiled a little at him and hugged him around the neck before letting him go and dig again for awhile.

[Bigfoot: Stay - 1]
Jack let Goran get back to digging with a smile on her face. She knew it was going to be interesting teaching them both to stay put, but at least it would happen sooner rather than later, and she was pleased with the thought. "Okay Bigfoot, stay," Jack told him, backing away from him with a treat in her hand. "Stay!" she snapped when he started toward her, but he stopped at her tone. She'd never taken that tone with him, and it bothered him a little. "Good stay," she crooned and tossed him the treat. That only served to confuse him even more, and he ate it in silence for a little while as he tried to figure it out. These treats meant he was learning something, right? That had to do something for him, he supposed, but he didn't know what was going to happen at the moment. Goran was still digging, but he had been a little startled with the woman's tone at the moment. Huh, she didn't often speak like that, and he hoped she wouldn't talk like that to him or anything. That would be the worst of it all, at least from what he knew.

[Bigfoot: Stay - 2]
What could she really do to get it through their heads that this was going to be good for them in the long run? She eyed the cart for a moment and grabbed out a bag of fat filled treats for the fossil, ready to start feeding him his nutrients. Hopefully this was going to be good for a moment, though she wasn't quite sure how to do this... She held out a treat and backed away from him, "Stay, Bigfoot." He started toward her again and she snapped at him, "Stay!" Bigfoot faltered and stopped, and she tossed a treat to him with a smile on her face. "That was a good stay, Bigfoot," she told him with a little smile on her face as she glanced over at Goran. The gargoyle was huffing a little at the thought, she didn't know why, but whatever... Jack shook her head and smiled a little at the moment. What was she going to do with the two of them anyway? At least Goran had somewhat warmed up to the little fossil, which was certainly a good thing for both of them, wasn't it? Jack smiled a little, hoping everything would turn out well.

[Bigfoot: Stay - 3]
Jack had a good feeling about this revived fossil, but he needed to be trained before he got too big to care about her. Of course he would care about her by the time they were done and he 'evolved' but that wasn't the point of this at the moment. He needed to be able to hear her, that was an issue. Jack pushed her hair back and tossed her hat into the cart with a smile before holding out another treat for the fossil, "Stay, Bigfoot." The fossil took a moment before starting to walk, but he caught himself after a couple of steps before she could say anything. That was great, such progress, she knew! Jack grinned a little, "Good boy, Bigfoot." Everything was going well as she tossed him the fatty treat, and she shook the bag. There wasn't much in there anymore, these didn't last all that long, but as long as he ate them, then it would be alright. He didn't seem to be changing or anything, which was odd, but maybe they were neutralized before they went in to 'evolve' or something? Goran rumbled off in the distance, he didn't really care what happened to it.

[Bigfoot: Stay - 4]
Everything was working out for her, she knew, which was definitely a good thing. Bigfoot was listening to her now, Goran always listened to her, and the woman smiled a little as she thought about the two of them. She would stay in the mines with them until Bigfoot had eaten all the nutrients and he could go to the museum again. It only made sense, didn't it? Sighing, she wondered what was going to happen right now, and it all made sense for her right now, she supposed. Maybe she just needed to focus on what she was doing, not on the what ifs. Nodding, she looked at the fossil again and held out a treat, "Stay, Bigfoot." The fossil took a single step before stopping and waiting patiently, surprising the gargoyle a little at that, but he didn't really care afterwards. Jack chuckled a little and tossed him the treat again, wondering if they would finally be done after one more time. This would be the best, she knew, and she hoped that everything would work out. All she had to do was train him up, she was used to doing that sort of thing with just about every animal she had.

[Bigfoot: Stay - 5]
Jack rubbed her face a little, it would be hard for her to focus on the Longneck when she had the time, honestly, while they were down in the mines. She wanted to look for stones and fossils and such, which was hard for her to do at the moment since she was focused on training. She supposed it didn't really matter, it wasn't like she was wanting to fill up her loot back at the Kennel or anything right now. Some things were better left undone, but for the moment, she supposed she ought to figure out what to do. Goran was still digging and seemed to have found something, but he waited until she looked at Bigfoot again and said, "Stay, Bigfoot." The woman walked over to Goran and took the little unfilled amber out of his beak with a smile before patting him on the head. Keeping an eye on Bigfoot, she realized he hadn't moved the whole time, and she tossed him another treat and called him over, to which he did happily. He wasn't sure if this was right, but it sure seemed to be and he hoped he was making the woman proud. Of course he must be!

[Goran: Stay - 1]
Jack eyed the gargoyle after a few moments as she put Bigfoot back into the cart. She had trained him up a little, but she still didn't trust him to run off when she wasn't looking. Goran, on the other hand, needed to learn how to stay put, and she was sure things would be better for them whenever she taught him that. Frowning a little, the woman looked at him and backed away, "Goran, stay." He, however, turned and followed her until she looked at him and firmly said, "Stay Goran!" He paused, there was that tone he didn't want to hear, and he frowned a little, or as best as he could with a beak, as he thought about it. He followed her everywhere in the mines, it was the safest wasn't it? It wasn't like she could hear what was going on in the walls and tunnels, she couldn't sense anything other than crystals, and her senses hadn't gone off at all lately, which was a little telling. Of course he could feel the same thing through their link, and he wondered if this was right. Though whenever he stopped, he did get a treat, so there was that.
