Jack rolled the strap of her bag around in her fingers for awhile as she and Merle wandered toward the Everfields. It had been far too long since they'd been there, but... what would they even find, she wondered? Shaking her head, the woman sighed a little, hoping they would be able to find at least one thing today, but who knew if that would even work out after awhile. Patting Merle on the head, she smiled at him as he woofed and licked at her fingers, they would be alright, he was a good boy. Sure, he didn't really know how to fight, but that was fine by her, not all of her animals needed to know that kind of thing, at least not at the moment. Maybe there would be a time they needed to learn, but until then... The woman made sure her bag was loose at her hip, strap holding on the opposite side of her neck, and patted Merle one more time, "Alright buddy, start searching." The Ohou stretched out a little and barked sharply, before beginning to sniff for anything he could find.

UdgFAwub1-10Merle's nose twitched as he caught on to something and started to wander toward where the scent was getting stronger. Jack's eyes widened a little, but she followed him at a distance, not wanting to get in his way or to ruin whatever he was happening to catch the scent of. This was unexpected, she thought as she watched him duck into some bushes for a few moments. Had he really already found something? That couldn't be it, right? Shaking her head, she started to move in to where the bushes were, but Merle finally strode back out and placed something at her feet. This was entirely unexpected, but she bent down to pick it up and smiled brightly at the Ohou. It was a cat skull, it looked like, and she was more than happy to keep hold of this one now. Jack tucked it into her bag after brushing a few leaves off of it, and slipped Merle a treat for doing so well, so quickly. They weren't going to stop here though! [Jack: 2/20 Merle: 27 2/5] 1-10

"Well, definitely a good start! Go search again, Merle, hopefully there's more stuff out there to find," Jack told him after he finished off his treat. The Ohou barked lightly and turned, putting his nose toward the ground again and beginning to sniff. He was sure there were more things out there, he just didn't know what he was going to manage to find this time. Jack pushed a hand through her hair with a little smile as she watched him wander off, trying to see if he could find anything again. This took her back, she remembered helping him get his certificates, it was a nice touch, and the birds were still in the kennel, which was kind of nice. All she could do was hope he would find something else really great, but she wasn't sure how hard she should bet on it right now. There were plenty of things out here, after all!

1hBrpt9t1-10Merle woofed, a low sound that made her raise an eyebrow for a moment. Had he really already found something else? He was killing it so far, not too long in and he'd already found a couple of things. Jack smiled a little as he loped off and came back, wagging his tail with something in his mouth. Kneeling down on one knee, the woman held out her hand and the Ohou dropped it lightly, having the thing float down to her a short way. A grin crossed her face and she held the brown feather up to the light, twirling it around in her fingers for a moment before standing back up and putting it into her bag with the skull and stretched her arms out a little. The sun was warm on her, and Merle barked a bit, nudging her leg, though careful not to get her with his antlers. Jack chuckled, this was a good day, wasn't it? [Jack: 4/20 Merle: 27 4/5] 1-10

Her stretch lasted for a little longer than she thought it would, sometimes a person's body just did what it needed to do, didn't it? Finally able to relax again, she smiled and looked at Merle, "Well, may as well keep going, what do you think?" Merle woofed again, a low noise that rumbled in her chest, and she grinned, "Alright, go search for me!" The Ohou stretched out as well for a moment and then shook his head, his ears flopping from side to side before loping off, nose close to the ground as he tried to find something new again. It was fun being out here again, doing what he was trained to do! Sure, it had been awhile since he had been out, but that definitely wasn't a bad thing he figured. He liked it out here, though he did wish a little that he was able to hunt with his daughter.

All things considered, it was still a good day, even though it was taking Merle a little longer this time to get the scent of something. Smiling, she watched as he wandered, focused on what he was trying to do. He was such a good boy, she couldn't wait to see what all he could do with his life, though Diana was definitely a good outcome of what he had managed so far. Jack pushed her hands into her pockets, pausing her stride for a bit as she watched Merle. He had dedication at least, she had to give him that much she figured with a little chuckle. There wasn't much she had done lately, but letting her Ohou do all the work was kind of nice right now. At least she had something going for her, she thought with a small sigh, tilting her head while she thought. All she really had to do was go for a walk right now.

Merle paused and sniffed where he was again, then looked around for a moment, zeroing in on a scent. "Track buddy, see if you can get this done," Jack told him in a low voice, so as not to scare off whatever he had managed to catch the scent of. Merle was still for a few moments more before he slowly began to follow whatever trail he had managed to pick up. The woman hoped he wouldn't lose the scent, but if he did, they would just keep going, she figured, chewing the nail on her thumb. It was rough to think of what would happen if they left with just the two items Merle had found so far, but she knew it wasn't going to be terrible if that was the case. All she could hope for was more items or whatever, she thought, chewing on her lip a little bit, watching the Ohou.

mDbnXBe|1-10Merle froze again, staring under a low bush, and then darted forward without a sound. Jack felt her eyebrows raise for a moment, but he popped right back out, something in his mouth. She heard a squeaking sound and whatever was in his mouth was wriggling around, which startled her for a little, but she popped forward to meet him part way to see what he had managed to get. The Ohou kept his teeth gently on the animal, and the woman reached out and grabbed it by the back of its neck as soon as he let it go. The little rodent squeaked in alarm again and stared at her with big, dull eyes. "Wow Merle, not bad for your first time getting something alive," she told him, eyes wide as well. She... hadn't expected something alive, but she didn't want to kill it. Her bag was a bag of mystery though, with several smaller pouches and compartments inside of it. Digging around, she found a small jar and plopped it inside, closing the lid and making sure it had some holes so it could breathe before popping it into her bag and breathing a sigh of contentment.

"Well, not bad so far, right? You're doing a great job, Merle!" Jack told him, rubbing his head and feeding him a treat as she kneeled down on one knee. The Ohou chuffed at her and wagged his tail violently, excited for the extra attention and treats. He really was having fun doing all of this, and when Jack told him to go off and search for something else, he headed off to do just that. This was going well, she thought as she stood back up with a chuckle, Merle was having fun, she was getting more stuff thanks to him, and that was kind of all she could really ask for with this, right? The woman pushed her hair back and tilted her head, watching Merle sniff around as she tried to see if there was anything nearby herself. It would be interesting if she could spot something he couldn't, right?

Merle paused for half a second and sniffed again, he caught... something. The smell was interesting and he sniffed the air a little, trying to find where it was stronger. The stronger the scent, the better the direction and the closer it was. He let out a small chuff and trotted after the scent trail, trying to see if he could find whatever it was he was getting at this time. Maybe it was just the little rodent again he had caught for the woman, was the scent still around? He didn't pay attention if it was coming from near her, he knew she had that rodent thing in her bag, though inside of some container. Jack watched him, he'd caught the scent of something again? She was surprised, but quite pleased at the same time, she didn't know what else to expect for the moment, but she just hoped she didn't have to have him fight anything.

The Ohou's brow furrowed a little as he sniffed around, trying to find whatever it was that was making that scent. It was... getting weaker though, and he grumbled a little when he lost it completely. His tail and ears drooped a little and he trudged back to the woman, butting up against her leg a little. Jack smiled and rubbed his head, "It's okay buddy, you can try again, you don't have to get something every time you catch the scent." She scratched under his chin and popped a small treat on his tongue when he opened his mouth in a sad woof. Merle startled for a moment and then wagged his tail briefly before starting off again. He needed to find something to prove he wasn't useless! Jack didn't think that, of course, but he felt that way himself after losing the scent of whatever it had been. Maybe he would get it again.

...really? Merle controlled himself before he barked and kept silent. He found whatever the scent was again, but what was it? Inside his head, he rumbled, however, as he followed the scent again, wondering exactly what he was after, but that he would figure out if he ever caught up to the damn thing. Jack grinned as she watched him tear off again, he'd caught it again it looked like, which was exactly what she hoped would happen. It was hard to figure out what he was after, but hey, at least he was in a good mood again, or so she figured. Hopefully he wouldn't lose it again, she didn't know how that would be for his ego, considering he'd just lost the scent a few moments before. Well, if he lost it again, that was fine, it wasn't their day to find whatever it was. Still, she hoped he did come across something!

Not... not strong enough, the scent wasn't strong enough yet. He had it! But it just wasn't... there. Merle growled, a low sound coming from his chest, and he narrowed his eyes as he looked around, sniffing the air and ground, trying to catch a stronger scent. The trees weren't helping much, but that was alright he thought, it was going to be fine. He could find this thing for the woman and take it back to her, that's all he had to do, right? Or at least trap the thing until she got there. His paws stepped lightly on the ground, doing his best not to step on anything that would make a loud noise as he tried to figure out what he was after. All he could do was keep going, but if he lost it again, he would just be mad if that was the case. This thing would be found, he was going to find it.

He still hadn't found it, but the scent was still there. It was getting aggravating, and he was going to make a mistake if this kept up. Jack chewed her lip as she quietly followed the Ohou, watching her footing so she made no noise, she didn't want to be the reason whatever this was took off. The canine growled low, narrowing his eyes as he sniffed a nearby tree, this was getting to be a nightmare, he wanted nothing more than to find this thing, it was rather more elusive than he thought anything would be at this point. Well, he would show it what was going to happen if he managed to catch it. The woman would take it and off they would go, he didn't know if he should kill the thing or not. The scent drove him crazy, he didn't know what this was but it needed found. Now[/b].
