Well, she might as well find a few stones while she was at it, she was trading them away for crystals and such at The Underground and Curious Collections, so that was something she really needed to focus on as well. As long as she found some things, it wasn't going to be a bad thing she thought with a little smile. Jack pushed her hair back and hoped that things were going to go her way this time, that she would hopefully find all the crystals she needed, so that whenever her soul recharged enough she could make another node. Then she would just have to save up for the dark node, tainted crystals were about as easy to come by as chaos were it would seem, which was fine in the long run she decided with a little sigh. It was her luck that the last two she needed to round out her collection were divine nodes, which took more crystals than the others. Oh well, it was fine she thought as she checked on the two animals and then started off toward the mines again. She saw the entrance in the distance and went a little faster now she figured.

As long as she got what she wanted, things would turn out well in the long run, right? Vary would help her out eventually, getting to be as good as Goran and Grim, his son. Smiling to herself, she patted Merle on the head when he poked out of the bag and she hoped that he would be a good companion as well. Everything was going to be fine at this point, though she hoped that it was going to work out in the long run. She really wanted him to be one of her better trained ones as well, with all the certificates he could get, but he had to be an adult before that could happen as well she figured with a little frown. Jack pushed her hand through her hair later on and that was alright she figured with a little smile. As life continued on, she would just roll with the punches and hope that it was all going to be alright in the long run. Watch her get all the tainted crystals she needed before chaos though, she figured with a low snort. If that was the case, she would just go for a dark node before the chaos node.

The mines were close enough that she could smell some of the coal that was down there as well, though she hoped that it wouldn't catch on fire like she had heard happened sometimes. It wasn't the first time she would be around the fires of the underground though she figured with a little sigh, and it wasn't like she didn't have her mishaps as well from time to time. All she could do was hope that she was going to come around and find a few things at this point as well she thought with a little frown on her face. All she could do was keep on going with her two animals and figured that things would do well eventually and all that, she really needed to be positive with all of this hunting she was doing. All the digging would be worth it in the long run as long as she got the crystals she needed when push came to shove. Rubbing her head a little, she paused at the entrance to the mines and hoped this was all going to be alright in the long run. Hopefully this would be a regular old run in the mines, but who knew.

Already she felt a small tug in one direction, Vary wasn't going to be much help yet, at least she hadn't been so far when she had brought her to the mines, but that was fine at the same time. Jack just sighed a little and patted Merle on the head as she stared into the large mouth of the mines and shook her head a little bit. All she had to do was find a few things in the mines to make this trip worth it and all that, right? Maybe she could find a few crystals as well. Hopefully she would get the Ohou raised up a little at the same time she thought with a little frown. This was going to be fine she knew, she just had to get this done she thought with a small nod. Vary was still on a lead attached to the cart, slinking into the shadows as best as she could for now. This halfbreed was going to take a bit to get used to she knew, they already knew each other a little bit, which was a good start, but nothing good came from doing nothing she knew, this was going to be rough.

Not finding anything at all would be rough, but she supposed that wasn't the main reason for being here. Sure she needed to get Vary used to her, and for her to get used to Vary's quirks and oddities, but for now she really wanted to get the Ohou worked up a little so he could grow up big and strong for now. Smiling a bit, she patted him on the head again and wondered what he would look like all grown up. She wasn't sure she wanted him to get as big as possible, maybe the stage below that would be for the best, but she really didn't know at this point. Hmmm, she could always figure it out later on and all that, though she didn't know what she was aiming for at the moment. What was the next Ohou on the list anyway? She would love to breed him to one of her females, but until then she wasn't sure what to do about things for now and all that. Tapping her chin, she hoped it would be worth it, or if this was just a big mistake on her part. She already had several Ohou at home after all.

Scratching the back of her head, she wished there was something else she could be doing at the moment, though she wasn't sure if that was such a good idea either. Giving a little frown, she looked down at the two animals with a small sigh as she finally plunged into the darkness of the mines, following the small tug of magic in the area. It was alright at this point, she knew there had to be something that could be found right now anyway, she wasn't that horrible when it came to mining, she was honestly pretty good at it, it would seem so far. Walking along, the woman looked around and hoped the two animals would do well at this point, though it was going to be hard for her to figure it out at the same time. Wondering what was going to happen wasn't going to do anything for her though, she knew as the Ohou poked his head out of the bag for a moment before settling back down. Jack just didn't know what to do though, this was difficult for her at the moment, though she didn't quite know why at htis point either it would seem.

Well, maybe she would try and get what she could out of the halfbreed before heading home when the Ohou was supposed to grow a little bit. A frown crossed her face, she really didn't know when that was going to be, however, which was an issue in and of itself it would seem. Jack just wished... she wished she had someone to do this with. Nina had expressed interest in doing it, but the TROD was so busy it was hard to get together with her sometimes, which bummed her out to no end and she didn't quite know why that was at the moment. Given what she knew of the situation, she just figured she was upset because she wanted a really good friend and the one she had wasn't available as often as she would like. That wasn't Nina's fault though, it was her own when it came down to it, expecting so much out of someone so quickly. Smiling though, she knew she was happy whenever she saw Nina and all that, though she hoped things would work out in the long run along with them. Touching her forehead a little, she felt her temperature as she checked on her animals.

Jack wasn't sure what Vary was doing, but the halfbreed seemed pretty intent on a few things at this point. She was sniffing around and trying to figure things out, she knew some of this place, but still didn't trust the woman too much which was a bit of a shame all the same. Sighing, she shook her head a little and wished there was something she could do for herself at this point, but this was kind of for herself she figured with a wince, she was looking for crystals after all. Whatever she did at this point, she wasn't sure what to do at this point anyway, she knew that it would be alright in the long run. Vary was going to be fine finding things in the mines, and Merle was along for the ride. Vary clicked a little, trying to find something nearby, and the woman wondered if she should get her trained up to be a pretty good familiar in the mines as well she wondered. Frowning a little, she thought what was going to happen at this point and all that, though she wished she knew what to do with the halfbreed in the future as well.

Merle was a curious pup when he wasn't sleeping it would seem, and she would really have to keep a leash on him when the time came to let him wander a bit. For now though, he was fine in her bag and might move to the cart eventually if she thought about it well enough. This was the good thing she knew, keeping him with her would get him used to her and she to him, so she couldn't argue with it too terribly much at this point. Giving a little sigh, she wished that Vary would pick a spot to dig already, she could feel the faint thrum of a crystal of some kind, probably a minor one at this point with how light it was, and she wondered where it was coming from. This was fine, she knew, she could figure all of this out at this point eventually, and she wished there was something to do other than this to get him to where he needed to be. Getting two animals together sometimes held things hard for her, but she knew she could get through it if she just tried. That was the hard part though, she knew with a wince.

All Jack knew was, she needed to get digging and then hopefully get Merle worked with a little as Vary dug through the dirt and stone. Her claws weren't as sharp as her other familiars and all that, but she could still dig hopefully, pretty well at that. She had Karzik heritage after all, which showed through her wings she thought, but for now she just needed to find a spot. A sigh ripped through her and she didn't know what to do at the moment, which was rough she knew, no matter what. Jack really wanted to get things done, and she knew that Merle was going to do well and all that but she really needed for him to get bigger if they were going to do that at the moment. A sigh escaped her, she really didn't know what to do with things but that was fine in the long run she knew with a little frown on her face. Vary was being stubborn, either that or overly picky as she sniffed around, her tail swishing from one side to the other as she did so. Merle was impatient in the bag at this point though, which was an issue.

Well, Merle was going to have to go into the cart now she figured as he wriggled around a little in the bag. He was giving her some problems at the moment, though she didn't know what all she was going to get done at this point. Jack knew she would put him in there and then hopefully everything would go well, though she wasn't sure what all needed to happen at the moment. Vary was still sniffing around, though now she was scratching at a few rocks every now and then and then sniffing them. She was also clicking much more often, the mandibles in front of her beak were twitching around as she tried to sniff at the air. Maybe something was nearby, wouldn't that be nice? What she needed was to find a few crystals, though it probably wouldn't happen this time she knew with a sigh. Oh well, that was going to be fine in the long run she knew, though she wished there was more that she could do. Glancing down at Merle, she realized he had almost crawled out of her bag, so she gently pushed him back into her bag with a sigh, yeah this was bad.

Life was a lot simpler before she had so many animals, she knew that much at least. Shaking her head a bit, she wondered what she needed to do with Vary to get her to focus on things, though maybe she was and she just wasn't seeing it or something. What she needed to do was to start digging, though Vary was being very particular as to where to go at the moment. Maybe that was a good thing though, more crystals for her and whatnot. As long as Merle didn't run off she figured things would be fine, though she figured she could see him for a little bit if he ran off considering how light he was, at least when compared to the other Ohou she had, she knew. One of them was going to have to grow soon though, if only to be a mate for Merle when they were both old enough to breed and all that. Of course she was going to have to train them both, which was a pain in the ass she thought as she stopped and stretched out a little bit. Vary had finally picked a spot, therefore Merle needed to go into the cart.

Merle barked and whined as she set him inside of the cart, patting his head a little as she did so with a fond smile. Hopefully this would be well she knew, but for now she just needed to focus on digging as well. Merle pouted and plopped down when she closed the door and she turned around, cracking her neck as she yawned a little and then focused on Vary. She had found something, but Jack didn't know what it was just yet. That was fine, she didn't need to know things before they happened, though it might be nice she thought with a small laugh. Well, might as well start digging, she figured as she swung the pickax against the wall. Vary was determined to find something below them now, as she was digging in the ground and all that. This was find, and reminded her a little of both Goran and Grim, though Vary didn't glow of course. That was fine, she didn't need that really, she had lights, and Vary knew better than to blend in with the shadows if this was going to work out. It certainly helped that she had a line around the halfbreed's paw, too.
