As she hunted, she realized she was really off of the trail, and she snorted, smacking her head into a tree to try and get herself right again. Jack tapped her on the nose for that and glowered at her, making the Ohou back up a little. She wasn't used to that expression, but she wouldn't do that again. Bobbing her head again, she meekly went back to hunting, searching, tracking, hoping to find that damn bird once and for all. It was going to happen, she knew it would, but getting there was the hardest part it would seem. Jack watched her with a frown, she was a little more spirited than her father had been when they were hunting, but then again it hadn't taken him quite this long to find them. She wasn't going to tell the Ohou this though, it would just upset her even more she figured.

Still nothing, which was incredibly frustrating for the Ohou as she hunted for the bird. She didn't know what to expect from herself, but this certainly wasn't it she knew with a sigh. Oh well, it didn't really matter as long as she caught the damn thing eventually, but still, she felt bad about making the woman haul her out here day after day just to find a couple of birds. Narrowing her eyes, the Ohou wasn't sure if this would work or not, but she tried to sniff at the air a little and then hopped up on her back legs so she could be even taller for a moment or two. Hmm, this was going to difficult though, she knew that, but at least she had the woman to cheer her on in her own way, she supposed. All she had to do was find it though, which was irritating.

Jack knew that Di was getting a little tired of all of this and wished she could just point to where the bird was high up in the trees, but that wouldn't be fair and she shoved her hands into her pockets, keeping her eyes on the canine in front of her. Things would work out though, she knew with a little frown, she just wished it already had happened, instead of doing it like this. Whatever, she thought, it didn't really matter how long it took, as long as she got it done in the long run. Having more feathers would work well for future generations of Ohou, so she needed all the birds she could find. Maybe they would come back to hunt after awhile, just the two of them to see what other kinds of animals there were in the Everfields. Hmm, now that was an idea she figured.

Another flower was stomped on and ground into the grass as the Ohou passed it by. She hated being distracted by the flowers, and that was making it even worse for her as time went on. Narrowing her eyes, she figured it didn't really matter, but it was definitely nice to know that she could actually find the stupid bird somehow and get this done and over with eventually, she was honestly getting a little tired, maybe that was why she was getting distracted so much lately. All this time changing things were rough on her, and she was having difficulties sleeping when she needed to now. Hopefully this would clear up in a few days though, and she wouldn't have to worry about it anymore. Whatever, she just knew that she needed to get used to hunting a little bit as time went on, though she wasn't sure if she would be up to doing this much more often.

As time passed, she found another set of rodent tracks, which she dismissed rather quickly. This was good enough for her at the moment at least, though the woman wasn't quite sure what to do other than this right now of course. Di just wanted to find the bird still, and it was getting to be a little brighter out than it really needed to be she suspected. Jack looked down at the stopwatch with a frown on her face, they had a little over an hour to get this done, she didn't know if that was going to happen or not at this point, which was a real shame she figured. Oh well, she thought with a small smile, they could come back tomorrow and get this done hopefully if they didn't do it today. She might catch the trail at the end of the three hours too, which would suck pretty bad.

Still more tracks and scratches on a low tree branch. The Ohou sighed a little and shoved herself away from the tree, this was really rough and she didn't know what to expect from all of this at this point. Whatever happened, she knew that she would be in the woman's good graces, but she wasn't sure at the same time, so she didn't know what to do at this point. Whatever, it was going to be worth it, she hoped at least for this, and she plunged in to searching some more at this point. Hmm, she really needed to get this finished, she had to find this bird if they were going to get home at a decent hour, so she could sleep until this was all done and over with. Then, maybe, they would be able to do her training after all of this was said and done, right?

Nothing again, which was irritating in more than one way. She thought this was going to be the end of it all, but wasn't sure if she could get this done or not. Jack glanced down at the watch, she had an hour to go before they had to quit and all that, though she didn't know what else to do for poor Di at the moment. Whatever, it didn't really matter in the long run though, she would get this done one of these days, and she would continue to fight for her certificates if it meant she passed out from the exertion. Growling, Di glanced over at her and then sighed a little, her eyes drooping a bit as she looked down. She knew that she was being watched and evaluated, to see if she was doing what she was supposed to do, but for now, she needed to focus on the bird.

Maybe the animals knew that something was up, that something was hunting that was a hunter itself. Growling to herself a little, Di wondered if she needed to come back another day, just quit today's hunt and come back later if she was going to do this correctly. Maybe she had scared them all off or something, she thought with a tilt of her head as she tried to figure out what was going on. Nope, this wasn't going to happen she figured with a low sigh, and she didn't know what to do at the moment as she tried to get this thing found. Maybe the other bird was different than this one, she wondered what she was going to have to do to get this done, and she raised her head again as she made herself think of everything that needed done at this point. Jack smiled, there she was...

If she chased everything off, then why did she see pawprints, she wondered? Maybe from the rodent running away or something, but she wasn't sure if that was the truth or not. Narrowing her eyes, she decided to follow the pawprints this time, maybe they would lead her closer to the bright bird she was looking for this time, not like the dark one from the other night. However, she wasn't sure what to think of everything just yet, she didn't know what she was going to do with things at the moment, and part of her wished she could just find it and get it over with right now. Searching was a difficult thing to do in the long run, she didn't know what she wanted to do other than this though, she thought with a little frown on her face. Whatever, it didn't matter either, she would get this done.

Nothing, nothing, nothing! Diana barked angrily and shook her head, upset with herself and everything that was happening. She'd had the scent twice and lost it, what was wrong with her? Growling now, she stalked toward a tree, but backed up when she realized the woman was frowning at her. "Careful now, Di, don't do anything stupid," she warned with an edge to her voice. Di lowered her gaze after a moment and sighed, she was just getting frustrated, she didn't know what to do for the moment, and that was alright she knew, but didn't know what else to get this going in the long run. What if she didn't find it now, she wondered, tilting her head? They would come back the next day it would seem, but for now she really wanted to find it no matter what happened. It was annoying though, but she wanted to find the damn bird.

After all this time, there was nothing on the wind. No sounds, no scents, nothing. Sighing, she plopped down onto her belly and laid there, closing her eyes and trying to focus on whatever sounds she could catch for the moment. What was she going to do right now anyway? Feeling a hand on her back, she woofed and turned to lick the woman for a moment before settling down again. Patience was something that could be had every now and then, she thought, but whatever needed to happen... would happen. Whatever she needed to do, she could do to find this bird, and Jack had faith in her for the moment even if she didn't have faith in herself it would seem. Shaking her head, the woman smiled a little as she tried to figure out what to do right now to pick up her spirits. Whatever happened, she was proud.

Jack kept her hand on Di's back and settled down next to her as the Ohou hunted in a rather unconventional way. This was alright though, she knew that things would work out for her eventually, it just might take her a time or two to get it down, she figured with a little frown on her face. All Jack needed was for Di to get the scent of the bird and then they could go find it, track it down like they had tried a time or two already, much earlier on in the search for the bird. Whatever though, the next week at least was open and free, so she could bring her a few more times if need be. If she had to, then that's what she would do, it was like she could drop everything for the Ohou at the moment, which was probably bad, but here she was.

The scent of a flower again. Di sighed and blocked the scent out as she tried to catch the smell of the bird somewhere in the area. It was rough, but she managed to ignore it after a little while, it just took some time to do it, it appeared. She knew that the woman was struggling to be alright with this whole thing too, no matter how she appeared, it would seem. Whatever though, she would get it, it just might take a few tries, that was all. Jack rubbed Diana's back with a little smile, it was a good exercise in patience, she figured with a quick nod, she knew that this was going to be good for her either way. All she had to do was be still and silent for awhile, and the wildlife would eventually come to them. At least, that was the hope, she figured with a wince.

A rodent's scent assaulted her as one skittered by her for a moment before disappearing into the foliage. Di wrinkled her nose, she didn't want to smell that, but whatever, she supposed it didn't matter much at the moment. It was almost time to quit, she knew, as she heard the woman check the watch again to see how much time they had. The woman stood up and stretched out a little, wondering if they should start heading back or something. Maybe the Ohou would catch the scent of the bird if they headed back to the cabin at the entrance or something, it was something she figured. Grasping at straws she knew, though that was fine all the same. She tapped Di on the shoulder and the female's eyes opened slowly to look at her. She wasn't quite finished with what she was doing, but that was okay all the same.

Jack smiled sympathetically and patted Di on the head, "Don't worry girl, it happens to everyone sometimes, your father was just a fluke." Not that the Ohou understood what she was saying, but that was alright all the same. Her voice was low and soothing, and the female licked the woman's hand in thanks for the kindness. Not that she knew of anyone like that, but the Ohou knew that some people treated their animals badly, it was just something she knew, she supposed. The woman, however, treated all of her animals the same it would seem, kind and generous. What she did to deserve that, the Ohou really didn't know at this point, but that was fine, she would do what she needed to in order to get this done sometime. Maybe all she needed was a little kindness along the way, that might work, right? Jack smiled, it would work.
