Merle licked Jack's hand for a moment, gave the dead rat one last sad look, and then trotted after her as she started back toward where she thought Diana was. Sure, Ohou could really get around, but she knew hers wouldn't wander off too far at least, that was the good thing about having such a good bond with an animal. Giving a little smile, she kept a hand on Merle's head and finally found Diana. The younger Ohou looked upset with herself, she must have lost the trail, but that was fine. Jack smiled and popped her a treat as well before motioning them on again, "Go on you two, keep looking around, you never know what you might find!" The two of them looked at each other, and finally Merle barked before putting his nose to the ground and beginning to sniff around again. His daughter looked at him for a moment, brow furrowed, before she finally turned and searched in a different direction than the last time. It wouldn't do to keep going the same way, she didn't know what she wanted to really do, but it didn't make sense to go the same way and just be disappointed again.

Diana cKb0hgM|1-10Merle trotted off, nose to the ground as he found the trail of something again. It was interesting to see what the Ohou could scrounge up in the Everfields, she wondered if every day would be like this if they came here? Jack smiled a little and rubbed the back of her neck, while it wasn't necessarily blistering hot outside, it was still pretty warm and the sun beating down certainly didn't help. Glancing around, she caught sight of Diana and trotted after her, the younger Ohou seemed a little concerned about something. Diana glanced back at the woman and yipped, nudging something with her muzzle after a moment or two. Jack finally reached her and lowered a little to see what had caught her eye. It was another skull? Except this one had a beak, definitely some kind of bird. Hey though, it was something different! She perked up happily and patted Diana on the head, passing her a treat after she tucked the new skull into her bag. This was great, she was having a fun time and so were the two Ohou, it would seem. Jack stood back up and brushed her knees off, looking around to see where Merle had gotten to. [Jack: 11/20 Merle: 33 1/5 Diana: 36 1/5] Merle: Track1-101-10·1-10

Jack patted Diana on the haunch, and the Ohou wandered off to see if she could find anything again, keeping her nose to the ground, ears perked as best as she could. It was a lot of work, which was somewhat surprising, but it did wear on anyone who tracks after awhile. Still, Diana hadn't been out for too long, she had quite a bit of energy still, and Jack could tell just by looking at her and the way she held herself. Giving a little smile, she followed behind her, keeping an eye out for Merle as well as she walked. He was going to find something, or at least that was the hope. He chuffed softly to himself as he caught her out of the corner of his eye, but he wasn't too worried about it as of yet. Right now he needed to focus, and so he bent down a little more and sniffed, following whatever trail he had managed to catch a little while ago. That was the annoying thing, he didn't know what he was going to come up to, but what should he do other than just keep going? Ah well, he'd find something, hopefully.

Merle m8MgAzHF1-10Diana sniffed the air a little and then sat down, brow furrowed a little. She just wasn't catch any scent at all this time, it was strange, she felt, she wasn't having too much luck. The Ohou scratched her ear with a hind paw and then frowned a little, looking around to see if she could get eyes on her father. At least he seemed to be having a lot of fun, she just hoped she would manage it soon enough to! Merle shot off, and Jack jogged after him, watching as he jumped and pinned something to the ground again. He looked over at her, giving an almost irritated look, and she sighed as she saw what it was. Yeah, that was irritating, another rat? At least this one was alive, but still, she didn't need another one running around the Kennel. Jack rubbed the back of her head and gave a small frown before looking at Merle, "I mean we really don't need another live one do we? Do you want to...?" The Ohou looked at it, getting the feel of what she was saying. A small crunch and she bent down to take the tail and pat him on the head, "Good boy buddy."[Jack: 13/20 Merle: 33 3/5 Diana: 36 3/5] Diana: Search1-101-10·1-10

Diana |d9JB9CA1-10Merle licked his muzzle clean and stretched out, shaking his head a little after he was done to get the fuzz out of his head a bit. It had been a long day, but he still had plenty of time and energy, he wasn't ready to quit yet. After sitting and scratching the back of his ear with a hind paw for a few moments, he stood back up, shook off again, and then started to sniff around, seeing if there was anything there he could possibly find. It was still pretty light out, not too far into the afternoon yet, he still had plenty of time to find things. Diana woofed at the woman for a moment and then picked something up, bringing it over to the woman and letting it down gently. Jack smiled and picked it up, well, there were worse things than finding feathers, she figured. Like finding all of the rats in the Everfields in one day. She patted the Ohou on her head and tucked the feather away, making sure it wasn't going to be ruined while it was in there. They'd managed quite a few things so far, but she wasn't sure when they should call it quits. [Jack: 14/20 Merle: 33 4/5 Diana: 36 4/5] Merle: Search1-101-10·1-10

They'd taken a break, they all honestly needed it. The sky was starting to dim slightly, and the sun was starting to move just a little closer to the horizon. It wasn't much of a move, but Jack was pretty good with this kind of thing, and she knew it was well past noon at this point. Stretching out, she yawned and scratched the back of her neck when she was done, giving a small smile to the two Ohou she was with. Well then, they should probably keep going then, right? Making sure she had her bag with her and what items she needed for this run, she patted the two canines on their heads and sent them off to see what they could find again. Merle watched as his daughter trotted off a little, sniffing where she could as she went along. He was proud of her, of course, but he couldn't let her show him up now could he? He licked the woman's hand lightly and then headed off in another direction, it wouldn't work out too well if they went the same way every time, scents would overlap and it wouldn't work out as well as someone might hope for.

Merle rK5M0L5L1-10Diana 1-10They both perked up almost immediately, and Jack shook her head a little in wonder. They were doing pretty well, she thought! Giving a little grin, she watched as Diana struggled with something for a little while, as Merle headed toward her with something held quite delicately in his teeth. The male dropped it into her outstretched hand and she gave a little chuckle, this was crazy, how many skulls had he gotten for her at this point? Two? Three? Laughing, she tossed him a treat and patted him on the head before tucking the skull into her bag. At least it didn't hurt to have a variety of things, she figured with a slow nod. Finally she wandered over to where the female was, and Diana barked, staring at the item with an irritated look. Jack leaned over and picked it up, it was an antler? Weird, what around here would shed these? There weren't any Ohou that shed their antlers, at least as far as she knew, but maybe there was some kind of... deer or something, who knew. Jack shrugged and popped it into her bag as well, the tip of it jutting out just a little as she looked at it with a frown. [Jack: 16/20 Merle: 34 1/5 Diana: 37 1/5] 1-10·1-10

Oh it was weird having them both find something so fast, but hey she wasn't going to argue it too much. Jack scratched the back of her head and shrugged a little, she supposed it didn't really matter, and hey, it got her a few more things than she had before, so she wasn't going to fight it she figured. Still though, she didn't know what she was going to do with everything if they kept bringing her things she really wasn't looking for. A small frown escaped her, she didn't know what she wanted at the moment, just to find... something else she figured. Oh well, it was good for the Ohou to be out and about either way she figured with a little nod. Jack pushed her hair back and smiled as she watched the two of them wander off again, noses toward the ground, tails wagging just a little as they tried to find something good for her to have. The thought of more blue hit her though, and she smiled. Really, she liked that color, and though she had been given an egg from the area, she wanted more of something, she figured with a little nod as she watched Merle and Diana.

Diana UL6NtiK21-10Jack rubbed the back of her head and suppressed another yawn, glancing toward the sky a little as she did so. Why was she getting so tired anymore, anyway? It didn't really make sense, but she didn't really have an answer to it, but that was really okay she thought with a little shrug. Merle sniffed around and seemed like he had caught the scent of something, but she had no idea what as he disappeared into the underbrush. A laugh escaped her, just a small one, she didn't want to scare anything off after all, and she smiled fondly as she looked at the area Merle had disappeared into. Well, at least he was definitely enthusiastic, right? Diana woofed, trotting over to her while she nudged something along. Finally she seemed annoyed enough and picked it up, handing it over to the woman when they were close enough together. Was this a fang or a claw? It looked more like a fang, she figured, and she smiled at Diana, patting her on the head and feeding her a treat with one hand as she tucked the fang into her bag with the other. Well at least that was a new thing, right? Always a good outcome. [Jack: 18/20 Merle: 34 3/5 Diana: 37 3/5] Merle: Track1-101-10·1-10

A rustling was heard from over where Merle had wandered off to, and Jack watched as he trotted back out. He hadn't found anything, but at least he didn't seem annoyed by it, it looked like he had figured out he wouldn't always find something, which was definitely a good thing for him to learn. Jack smiled and patted his side as he walked by her, getting a lick on the hand in response. Diana stretched out and yawned, a big reaction that surprised the woman a little bit, before she trotted off and started seeing what she could find again. Was there anything else worth getting out here? She wasn't sure, but she was really hoping it would work out the way she wanted it to. Diana knew there had to be other things here, she just didn't know what, and she was fine with that she figured. Eyes bright, even though she had just given a massive yawn, the Ohou watched her father wander off for a moment before taking off in another direction, the way he had just come from. Maybe she could find something he hadn't been able to come across, that would definitely be a good thing she figured.

Merle nArDK6KF1-101-10Diana 1-101-10Snarls were heard from both Ohou, and Jack jumped a little, startled at the sharp sounds from both of them. Merle was far off toward the right of her, and Diana was closer, where Merle had been before ahead and to the left. Her head swung from spot to spot before she took off after Merle, whatever he was trying to get sounded a lot bigger than what his daughter was trying to get to. The woman skidded to a stop when she saw Merle circling a large, colorful bird who was eyeing him warily, tail fan up as a distraction, the claws on its feet ready to strike. Launching forward, she grabbed it by the neck before it could react and knocked it out before shooting toward where Diana was, calling for Merle to come as well. The male darted after her and they reached her at the same time. Diana was delicately holding a smaller, still colorful bird in her teeth, making sure not to injure it as best as she could. Jack cheered as she took that one as well and looked at the two birds. Well... the big one would be an issue, maybe, but she had containers that would work for both of them. She stuffed them both into the containers and those into the bags before giving the two Ohou massive praise and a good handful of treats. They had done so well!

Jack plopped onto the ground, leaning up against a nearby tree, and smiled at the two Ohou. "Well you two... what do you think? Ready to go some more or do you want to call it quits for now?" she asked, tilting her head. Merle barked and wagged his tail. Giving her hand a lick, he half turned and woofed a little lighter, ears flopping as he shook his head. Nope, he was ready to keep going it looked like, and Jack just managed a chuckle, glancing over at his lighter daughter, "What about you, Diana? Up for some more?" The cream colored Ohou barked happily and dropped into a play stance before racing off again, ready to see what she could find. The woman nodded a little at Merle, "Alright buddy, get going, can't have her outdoing you right?" The male barked again and then shot off in a different direction. Giving a small, happy sigh, Jack pushed herself back onto her feet and stretched her arms out over her head. It was still really nice outside, just the right temperature where you wouldn't overheat but you weren't chilly or anything. All she needed was a bit more items and maybe they could head out again.

"Mmmkay Merle, I'll leave you to it, I think Diana needs a little more watching," Jack said quietly as he popped back into view. The Ohou let out a small woof and darted back into the trees, it seemed like he understood at least, so there was that much. Jack took one last look at the area he vanished into and then glanced at the ground, spotting small, light pawprints made by Diana. Quietly, the woman tracked the Ohou for a little while until she saw a pale tail disappear into some bushes. Nodding, she watched for a little while, listening to a small rustle every now and then, and then turned her eyes toward a little higher up in the trees. She didn't want to miss something because it was high up there again, that would honestly be the worst part of it all. Chewing her lip, she hoped they would find something good again, though really she would rather find a few feathers than another animal. That was fine though, she would figure out something to do with them, she was sure of it just in case it happened. Ah, but to find what she was really looking for, that would really do the trick.

Diana aNx5jU2G1-10Jack snapped back to reality after a little while when she heard a growl and snap. Frowning, furrowing her brow, the woman crept forward until she heard a loud yelp, and that's when she darted in to see what was going on. Was Diana in trouble? Pushing through the bushes, she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Ohou with her jaws around the neck of what looked like a fox. The creature was kicking and flailing, but Diana was insistent and refused to let go, she was firm, but gentle with it. Giving a grin, the woman pulled another container out of her bag and grabbed the critter from the Ohou, stuffing it inside and taking a look at it at the same time. It looked scared, but... she really didn't blame it. Smiling, she put the container in her bag and gave Diana a little hug around the neck, which was returned with a quick lick to her cheek. Jack chuckled and gave her a few treats, "Well done, Di. Let's see if your dad found anything, yeah?" Merle popped into view as she finished speaking and stood up, and he barked, pleased with his daughter. It looked like he hadn't found anything though, maybe it was time for a new area.

The three stood there for a little while, just taking a small break while the woman watched the sky for a bit. The sun kept getting lower, and eventually it would start to get a small chill to the air, but that wasn't too big of a deal, the Ohou had fur and she had a jacket or something she could dig out. "New spot?" she asked the two of them finally, and without waiting for anything, headed off deeper into the trees. Maybe in here they would be able to find some more stuff, but she wasn't sure how much she wanted to bet on it. Giving a small chuckle, she watched as the two of them started to sniff around after awhile, getting some distance between them and the area they had pretty thoroughly searched a little while before. It was going to take awhile, but at least she had some stuff to do while they looked around she figured with a small shrug. She could honestly just hang out here in the little clearing she had found while they looked around, she had a few things she could work on while they were out there, it wasn't like a little hand work would hurt.
