They had found several things on the last trip, a fossil, a mind crystal, and several stones, though they needed to find several more things if this was going to make much sense to her she figured. Still though, having two Ohou in the area with her wasn't a bad idea, especially with how Merle had grown up a little bit, he wasn't exactly a puppy anymore, though there was still some puppy in him. He trotted next to her on the least while Ceru stuck her head out of her bag, just like Merle had done when he was a pup. This was a good duo, she wanted to breed them eventually and figured she would do a little training for Merle at least while they were here. Sure, she wouldn't do any active mining it would seem, or maybe she would while she trained him a little, but for now she just needed to focus on the two of them and things would be alright in the long run. Smiling, she was pleased with her thoughts and while she wished she had a familiar with her, she didn't think she could handle an untrained one with the two small Ohou as well.

Ceru yawned sleepily and popped back down into her bag where the pup was resting. Jack would need to do something with that soon enough, probably put her into the cart while they trained at this point, but until then she would carry her along while they got to the mines. A few things needed to happen of course, and she was pleased enough to see what she was going to do at the moment. Scratching her head, the woman wished she knew what to do with Ceru for now, but until then, it would be fine. Ah well, that was going to be alright in the long run she knew with a chuckle, though she didn't know what she was going to do with two of them. She had done well with Houluh though, so she could handle Ohou as well, right? Merle trotted next to her still, wondering where they were going and what they were going to do at this point, though he didn't really care, he was with the woman and he looked up at her with adoration in his eyes. Barking a little, he pawed at her as they went along and she smiled, patting him on the head.

At least he was next to her and not running off, she would train him up to hunt and such pretty soon, but she hoped that would work in the mines as well, maybe she would have to go somewhere else, but she really doubted it at this point. Frowning a little, she gave a bit of a sigh and wished she knew what to do with the two of them already, she would get to training Merle whenever they got to where she thought she could find a few stones and whatnot, which worked out for her well enough, but Ceru would be sleeping, either in her bag or in the cart, or, she supposed, in the bag which would be in the cart. Raising an eyebrow, she realized any of them would work, as long as she had a little leash on the pup so she didn't wander off if she wasn't paying attention for the moment. Maybe things wouldn't go well, there was always chance of a collapse in the mines, but she had hope they would do alright at this point she thought with a little smile. Shaking her head, she smiled, wishing she knew what to do right now instead of winging it.

Well, she wasn't sure what to do at the moment, aside from hunting down stones at least, and hoped that she would find a few crystals on this trip. If not, it would kind of be a bust at this point, but that was fine either way she supposed. Sure, she really wanted some chaos and tainted crystals, but for now she figured it would go well enough if she didn't find any. If anything... she could buy some from The Underground and hope that Curious Collections would get some in as well. She would just have to find the time for them at this point, hopefully they would get some in stock and she wouldn't have to worry about it too much. Whatever, she figured as she watched the two Ohou, Merle was sniffing at the bag and Ceru was poking out of it, staring at him a little bit. They were similar ages, of course, but for now she figured it would be alright no matter what happened, they would grow soon enough and then she could start working on certificates with Merle. Maybe Ceru would get a couple, but she hadn't made up her mind just yet on all that.

She really needed to put quite a bit of time into her pups at this point, but this was going to be difficult for her to do without a familiar. Giving a little sigh as she checked on the two pups, she hoped that they wouldn't hate her when their training was all done. Not like Ceru was going to be trained up too much, but that was going to be alright. Merle would be the best trained Ohou she had, or at least that's what she was hoping for. Not to mention she already had plans to breed the two together, then breed Ceru with one of her Houluh, which would be interesting as well. Ah well, this was going to take some time, but that was fine she thought with a little smile on her face. This would be for the best, she knew, and she just hoped that things would work out the way she was wanting them to at the very least. Jack pushed her hair back and plopped her hard hat back onto her head, just her luck she would get another cave in, but she would work it out if she did, she just had to be careful.

Ceru would get through this, hopefully unscathed, but she would see, she supposed. It was going to be a long day though, to get them trained up and gone she knew with a little smile, though she hoped it would breeze past after awhile. This was the worst part though, the waiting and the working, though sometimes it made the time go by quite quicker. Jack still sighed as she looked down at the pups and hoped that things were going to work out with them. Hopefully she could get Merle certified in several things, and that was the best of it at the moment. Scratching her head, she wondered what was going to happen while she worked, but that would come later on she was sure. Oh well, she thought as Merle trotted next to her, she didn't know what to do at the moment but that was fine all the same. Smiling a bit, she whistled to herself and continued on down into the mines, wondering where they would stop, it all depended on if she found some stones during this whole thing she figured with a small nod. If she found a few just sitting there, she would stick there for awhile.

While Merle trotted next to her, not knowing where they were going to stop either, Jack kept a hand on Ceru's head with a little sigh as she pulled the cart behind her. It wasn't like the two Ohou were big enough to pull the cart themselves, and she usually insisted on doing it no matter what happened. Ah well, she had her quirks she thought as she continued down into the mines, hoping she would come across something soon enough. If not, she didn't know what she would do, probably start training up Merle for the moment as she watched Ceru sleep or something, but she didn't know if that would be as efficient as she was hoping it would be. Whatever, it didn't matter in the long run, though she wasn't sure what to do with life at the moment, it would be alright. All she had to do was keep on keeping on, and she hoped that everything would work out in the end, though it was hard for her to picture it as well. What were her Ohou going to look like when they were all grown up as well? That was something she didn't quite know about either.

It would work out, and she would start working with Merle here pretty soon, or at least that was the hope, she thought. Smiling a little, she whistled to herself a little more and she hoped that it would all work out for her, though it wouldn't surprise her if it didn't, she figured with a frown. As long as she got a few things done it would be a win in her book, and she thought it would be fine no matter what. Merle would learn quickly she thought with a grin, patting Ceru on the head as well she thought with a small chuckle, at least she was getting a few things done, that was the deal. Hopefully finding a few things would be for the best as well, she could imagine that things were going to be fine in the long run. What if she found the rest of her chaos crystals? Highly unlikely, but not a bad thought at the same time she thought with a smile. As long as she had a few things to do in the moment, she would get this done all around and all that. Smiling, she kept on going for a little while longer.

Jack sighed, she didn't want to train up Merle just yet, that was hard and she didn't want to deal with it at the moment, that was alright though, she had plenty of time she figured with a frown. He wasn't going to grow again just yet, and while he could breed as an adult, she really wanted at least one certification before then, or at least some full training for what they needed to go hunting and all that. Oh well, she figured, he didn't really need the certificates just yet, they had awhile to get this at this point, but she just wanted to do it either way. What she wanted was to find the crystals and stones she was looking for before the Ohou were getting trained and all that. Sighing, she shook her head and kept on going, sooner or later she would find a spot she wanted to be at, and she thought it would work out rather well all along. Jack glanced at the two of them for a moment and hoped that everything would work out, they seemed to like each other enough as of right now as well, which would make things that much easier.

Here was as good a spot as any, she figured with a sigh when she came to an open bit of the mines. Some places there were rooms and chambers that had been cut out, either by miners or by the water that ran through from time to time. Yawning, she settled the cart down and put Ceru and her bag into the cart, smiling as she closed to the door. The Ohou pup was sleeping for the moment so it wasn't going to hurt her to have her in the cart for now. Given what she knew about the species, not that it was a lot, she figured Ceru would probably sleep for a bit, so that was plenty of time to get Merle trained up a little bit at least. Maybe get a few stones too at this point, though that would be hard to tell just yet. Hopefully she could get a few things she knew, but that was going to take some time and effort and she didn't know if she had that in her just yet. She took Merle's leash off and he wagged his tail, sitting down next to her. He was already a little trained, though not too much, he was pretty basic so far.

[Merle: Speak Up - 1]
She hadn't trained without a Ribbon or a ring lately, so it was going to be rough remembering how to do this. Frowning a little, she eyed Merle for a moment and then sighed, she would have to wait for him to be a little noisy, which he usually wasn't, in order to get this started. She could do it though, she knew with a frown, and she hoped that everything was going to work out for them. Looking around, she thought she saw something by the wall, it might not be the best area to mine in, but hey, at least it was something she figured. She would pick it up later, she knew, and she hoped this training wouldn't wake up Ceru in the cart, considering he was going to be barking a little. Taking out the treat pouch she had with her, she showed him one of them and Merle whined a little as he saw it. Good, good first start, but when she pulled it back, he gave a low bark. Jack beamed and gave him the treat, "Good speak, Merle!" He was confused, but this was going to be fine she knew with a little smile.

[Merle: Speak Up - 2]
What was she doing right now anyway? Teaching him how to be loud on purpose? She shook her head as she thought about it, and wished that things would work out a little different, but if she wanted a certain certificate for the Ohou, she needed to train him this she knew. That was the issue she thought with a little nod as she looked at him before watching the cart to see if there was any movement inside. Ceru would be fine for now while she was training Merle, she knew. Merle was sniffing around her now to see if he could find more treats, and she chuckled a little as she looked at him. "Very good boyo," she told him, then held out a treat where he couldn't reach it again, "Speak up, Merle!" The Ohou whined and then barked low again, a little grumpy as he looked at the treat. Jack beamed and gave him the treat finally, "Good speak, Merle!" He ate it pretty quickly and she smiled a little, patting him on the back as he ate it up and she wished that all training would be this easy. Pretty soon it would be alright she knew.

[Merle: Speak Up - 3]
Ceru was dreaming of chasing small animals like Shiku and all that, she whimpered a little when she heard a bark or two, and she settled in again after a few moments. Jack heard her a little and winced, this was going to be rough she thought, but they were getting there at least she knew, and Merle would be fine after all this, he could be quiet as well. Maybe she would need to train him up on that... It was possible, though maybe not, he was a rather quiet Ohou it would seem. Were all of them like this? If so that would make training very nice, she figured. "Merle, speak up!" she told him, showing him another treat, and the pup woofed low when he saw it. That was good enough for her she figured and handed over the treat. This would be remarkable she thought with a little smile, at least he was learning and that's all she wanted out of him at the moment. Soon enough she would need to train up Ceru as well, though that was going to have to happen a little later, when she gained a little more experience in the world.

[Merle: Speak Up - 4]
Merle wagged his tail and took a peek at the cart where Ceru was sleeping. He whined a little at it and nosed it a bit, hoping she would be up soon so they could play together, but wasn't sure what to do with that. Jack took his attention again, however, and smiled before holding out another treat, "Speak up, Merle!" He barked and wagged his tail again, to which the woman cheered and tossed him the treat afterwards, she was pleased with his progress so far, he had learned a few things after all, but she wasn't sure what all to train him next. There was a list she needed to go through, of course, which was something she needed to stick to if she was going to get this done. If she went forward with her plans for Ceru as well, then there was something good that was going to happen no matter what. Smiling, she patted Merle on the head and wondered what would happen if they ran out of things to train, which was likely at this point she figured. Oh well, that would happen later on, and she knew that this was what she needed to do at the moment.
