She wasn't exactly sure what happened with Envix these past few days as for some reason she has been brooding quite a bit, but didn't want to say to her why exactly she felt the need to hide somewhere and run her mind racked with it. She honestly felt a bit worried for Envix about it, and as she didn't want to tell her what exactly is wrong, she thinks maybe some form of a distraction might help her. Or at least let her mind rest on the current problem, and focus on a different one. ' So I had been planning to let Saar learn his Name for a while now, and either teaching him Come or Follow as well today. As this..' She says in her mind to Envix, gesturing with the hand holding yet another treat to make him follow her while with the other she holds the length of rope that is tied around his neck. ' Ain't exactly handy to keep doing when I want multiple companions to follow me somewhere.' She does notes that Envix keeps her distance to Saar, watching him with wary eyes while she explains to her why they are making a trip to the Public Park and have the large crossbreed lumbering after them in a heavy gait while nosing at her hand for more treats. *1 - Envix LV 27.1 LY 22.1 - Hardy Saar LV 6.1, LY 6.1

She sees her tilting her head in such a way that it is easily visible she is trying to portray curiosity, and not have the mass of shadows that form the rest of her body making the gesture hard to see. 'But why did you want me specifically to join?' The tone was a little harder to note when the quality sounds so haunting in her ears, but she can still see what she is trying to convey with it. 'I figure that should something go wrong, you'd be there to stop him in his tracks. I mean, this rope here?' And shows her it with the palm almost wide open while fishing another treat from her pocket when Saar started to slow down after eating the last one. 'Its more a formality really, as he is too big and strong for me to actually make him stop when he doesn't want too, I was lucky last time that he was somewhat calming down from the scare Dartmoor did to him. I wanted you to join me so that should something happen, you'd be there to stop him in his tracks without bringing harm to him either hopefully.' It was just one of the many reasons why she felt Envix would be perfect to go along with her.
Even though Envix's wariness of Saar is pretty much ungrounded when she'd really get to know him, he can be a pretty large but gentle giant so long as he isn't provoked, and the wide berth Envix moves around him, is really unnecessary in her opinion. But it will probably take a while before Envix gets that too.

Once they finally arrived at the Public Park she hopes a empty lot of just a grass field would hopefully be nearby, most of the ones she sees are already occupied, or too small when working with a creature of Saar's size. 'We'll need to head further in than at this part I suppose.' She muses at Envix, watching from the corner of her eyes how Envix seems to slightly struggle with turning her back to Saar as she too looks around. 'Further in may have more.' She hears Envix say when apparently she too didn't find exactly a good enough spot right away to start training him up within her sight.
She nods at that, having come to that conclusion as well. 'Alright then, lets take the left path when the road splits, that one usually contains some fields instead of forests.' She mentions to her, and with a gentle tug on the rope when a treat didn't work to pull Saar's attention to her, she let them further inside the park. Taking the left turn immediately when it comes up, and following the road further. Envix mean while has decided to lead from the back, feeling more comfortable with having Saar in her sight, while still keeping some distance from the lumbering giant.

After about fifteen minutes of walking further she finally got to find a field that is to her liking, it might be mostly sectioned off on three sides with a forest where other people are busy training their creatures from what she hears, but this one seems to be empty and large enough for a grass field to satisfy Saar's hunger as well when she wants to rest from training him. 'This should do I think.' She says back to Envix while tugging on Saar's rope to get him off the road and into the grassy field, only a few tree's where scattered in it, but she felt satisfied with that as it allows her to choose one of the thicker ones to tie the rope on so that Saar wouldn't be able to escape or run away that quickly.
"So," She claps her hands, getting both Saar and Envix's attention with it, "let's start teaching you your name more seriously now Saar." grinning at the sight of the puzzled look she gets from Saar when no treats where immediately visible, or Envix twitching her wings at the sudden noise. She had backed away rather quickly from Saar when she had done it, maybe thinking he made the noise before she could realize it actually came from her instead.

Turning her head more into Envix direction she wonders if her plan might work to distract her from the problems currently troubling in her mind, and get over her fear of Saar, if she is willing to help her out that is. 'Envix would you be a dear and help me out with this? You just need to distract him after he looks in my direction when I call out his name `Saar` and praised him for it? Eating grass might not be that much of a distraction for him, and I don't think this will take too long. He has heard his name being called out before after all.' Though she didn't mention that it mostly happened under duress and that he might not have noticed her calling out his name.
She could see Envix hesitating over it, looking from her to the big lug eating grass now that its been quiet again for a bit, while she moves just a bit farther away, clearly thinking over it before coming to some sort of decision when her head rises more up. 'Alright.' was the only answer she received, but still felt rather satisfied about it. She is sure that she could use all the help in the world to teach him some things, as being part Thundergug makes it that stubbornness is practically a inborn trait in them, even though she isn't sure how much he takes from that parent's side or from the long extinct Eudrace.

'Thank you Envix!' She responds back, smiling cheerfully in Envix direction from which she sees her form slumping just a bit more into the ground than normal. She wondered if that might be how she looks if she is uncertain, but the writhing shadows beneath her sure seem to give away her unease with it all. Turning her attention to Saar, she is quick to take out a treat from her pocket, having forgone the usual trench coat and only wearing a simple black shirt and black jeans, with pockets large enough to hold at least to treat bags and some other small objects that she could fit into it. "Saar!" She calls out loudly, only getting a grunt in return and a ear twitch now that he is focused on eating the grass. Coming a bit closer to him, she tries again but this time claps her hands carefully, making sure a thumb is pressed on the treat to make sure she isn't accidently letting go of it. "Saar!" Saying it this time more loudly, and added with the clap made him look up rather quickly in her direction, eyes alert, but confused on what is going on. "Good boy Saar!" She praises him, coming closer to give him the treat.

Saar definitely perked up at the treat, nosing her hand after he got it for more, but she backed away with a grin. Hopefully Envix will now try to capture his attention, and then she can distract him again with calling out his name. 'Your turn Envix.' She couldn't help but comment, looking at the last spot she has seen her, but she wasn't there now. Turning her attention back to Saar, she noted the moment his attention got diverted somewhere to her right. Turning her gaze to it as well, if only for a small moment, she sees Envix tries to attract his attention by growing in height, then dropping down to the ground and merging with the shadows there, only to come back up. Like a Whack the Mole game she made certain to not always be on the same spot, but starts breaking her pattern and shying away when Saar started to take a step closer in Envix's direction. "Saar!" She calls out, clapping her hands when it didn't quite work as fast as she would have liked. Saar grunted while looking on with curious eyes at Envix location. "Saar!" She yelled, and finally got the response she hoped for, he looked in her direction.

Coming closer to him she handed him a treat, using her other hand to stroke his head slowly. "You've done very well Saar, keep it up." 'Good job to you too Envix! Your really helping me out with this.' She comments to both of them in different ways, looking in Envix direction with a encouraging smile as she has seen her falter at the sight of Saar trying to get closer to her, despites that he is tied to the tree. 'Don't worry so much of him getting a go at you Envix, he's really just a passive and gentle being unless provoked, its mostly his size that tends to intimidate those around him.' Hopefully her words will get through to Envix, she didn't think she would react the same like Dartmoor, but there is always the chance, and she'd rather hope to minimize the risk of it. She did start to see after her words that Envix started looking with more interest at Saar, still with unease perhaps if the shadows twisting on the ground are any indication, but the more leaning forwards in their direction.. she sees it as a good sign that maybe Envix will loosen up and be less scared around Saar.

Saar got distracted on his own instead of having Envix distract him, lowering his head to eat some more of the juicy and tall grass within his reach. Taking a step back she calls out to him, loudly. "Saar!" Only his ears twitch in her direction, but his sight is focused on the grass. "Saar!" She tries again, and claps her hand for good measure. It works, he starts to look up, but only for a second at her. "Good boy Saar." She tries to praise him in time, but then his focus slides to something on her left, she assumes it might be Envix trying to get his attention at the wrong moment. Taking a quick glance she is correct, Envix tries to do the Whack a Mole game again, only this time when she reaches the top, she spreads her wings then fold them, and sinks into the ground. "Saar? Hey Saar?" She says while coming closer to stroke his nose for a second, getting his attention that way finally, she gives him the treat when he looks up at her. "Very good Saar, just keep looking at me every time I saw your name. You're doing really good." After a minute she stopped stroking him, backing away again.

Saar looked curiously up at her, still confused about what is going on it seems. 'Your doing really good Envix, that impression your making with how your trying to distract him works perfectly for this.' She says to Envix, grinning at Saar while he seems to take a step closer to her, heavily sniffing the air looking for another treat no doubt. 'Impression?' She couldn't quite tell because of the haunting quality her voice contains if she is either curious or feels like her dignity has taken a hit, because that one word seems to be loaded with at least something from either of the two. 'Yes, the type of movement your making as a distraction is really helping Envix. You're doing me a favor with distracting him as this will likely make teaching him his name go a lot quicker than normal.' She praises her, giving a quick glance to Envix and seeing she has stilled her movement. Now looking in just her and Saar's direction with only her clawed hands and head showing, her body language.. She think it might be puzzled at what she said, or trying to figure out what she meant with impression, but she can't say that for certain. 'Why not come a little closer to us Envix? He's not going to try anything harmful, or if he was, he would have done that already.' She tries when her first words had Envix backing up a little.

The words she had said right after seem to still her movement again, and in a way really start to focus on her and Saar, possible thinking on all the times so far that nothing happened. "Saar?" She says in a softer tone, trying to get the big lug's attention on her for a moment, wanting to prove her point. Saar didn't look up from his spot of eating the grass near her feet, but his ears are twitching in her direction, so she knows he heard her. "Saar?" She tries again, stroking one of his ears at the same time, finally got his attention and made him look up at her. "Good boy Saar!" She cheers, and gives him a treat for his effort. 'Do you see now?' She hopes this could be proving her point, Envix is more than a bundle of instincts like Dartmoor is, surely with her intelligence she'd figure out soon that the only thing scary and standing in her way to relax in his presence is her own fear of the unknown on what someone else might do against her or can have the power to hurt her. She isn't certain if Saar actually has that type of power, but it seems Envix seems to think so, and is too wary to move past that and really look.

Glancing behind her, she finally sees some improvement in Envix as she is slowly creeping closer. 'That's it Envix, you're doing good, just come stand right next to my side, nothing is going to happen.' The agitation she must be feeling is quite a bit if the shadows trashing on the grass are any indication from what she notices of her behavior, but she does comes closer, just slowly. 'That's it, just stand next to me, he's really gently.' She tries to encourages Envix, her body half turned to her, and didn't pay attention to Saar until he makes his presence known by bumping his nose in her side. Almost making her fall from the push. "Woow, hey Saar, none of that now. Saar?" Turning her attention for only a bit to the big lug, she sees him staring at her, his ears twitched at his name, but he looks rather expectant up at her. "Ahh! Right. Here you go Saar, good boy." She mutters, giving him the treat he wants, and then looking back in Envix direction, her shadows perhaps acting even more agitated then before. Sighing in disappointment when it seems she backed off, and is right where she started before coming closer.

'Really, Envix? You saw what he just did, nothing harmful at all. Just his way of trying to get my attention, and give him some treats.' She didn't look in Saar's direction when she made a step closer to him, starting to pet his head plate while still looking at Envix, trying to prove a point. With her other hand she made the gesture to have Envix come closer, a rather universal sign that most beings would understand. 'How serious are you.. with this?' She hears Envix say in her mind, head tilted in such a way that it is easily visible from all the other shadows that make up her body. 'Very.. Just, just come closer Envix. You have nothing to worry about with him, you're probably way stronger as well, seeing as he can't hit what he can't touch and all.' She teases lightly in the hope to entice Envix. She seemed to make the gesture of a delicate sniff at that, making her feel rather curious if it is possible she could smell while she is entirely ethereal, or if it is possible for others of similar ethereal nature to have that option as well and she isn't actually faking it. Slowly she approaches again, stopping only when she is just shy of a meter and a half away from her own position. 'Try to stay within the distance you're in right now Envix, I'm going to try again to get his attention. Your very brave to get within this distance already.' She hopes her words would be seen as encouragement for her progress already, as, if she looks at the position of the sun, she guesses it might be well over two hours now from leaving the kennel to this point to have her starting to get over her fear hopefully. "Saar?" She says in a bit softer tone, as she turns her attention to him. Smiling when she sees if only for a second that he looks up at her, and then the hand closest to him within reach. "Very good Saar!" She praises, even with the knowledge he might be gesturing with his eyes what might be the only reason he is looking up at her.

Taking out a treat from her pocket, she gives it to Saar, letting her eyes stray to Envix while Saar gentle takes the treat out of her hand to eat and says softly to the big lug. "Very good Saar." Instead of being behind her now, she has started to move more towards Saar's side while in a way making sure Saar doesn't notice it. 'Your doing okay Envix.' She grins at Envix when she sees her wings flare out, she wasn't sure if it was to let Saar's attention stray away from her, but it worked as. He turned his head in her direction, making a grunting type of noise in what might be curiosity as she isn't imitating a game to catch his attention. Envix freezes for a second when it happens, more than likely because she is now so close to him, that should anything happen to make him want to charge at her, he could easily do that. But the big lug stayed put, only looking in Envix's direction while grunting. 'See? Nothing is happening to you, even though you are very close to his side now. Can't I convince you somehow to try and come here at my side? Getting even closer then you are now?' The slight head tilt to the side while she slowly folds her wings, makes her think Envix might be willing to at least try, but she doesn't creep forward in her or Saar's direction any further right now.
'If you read to me from a book of my choice tonight, I will try.' Envix negotiates to her, making her grin and wonder when exactly she has been seeing her read books before enough to know about it, but it is a rather harmless request. 'Deal! Though if the book is too long to finish in a hour, we'll continue with it another night till it's finished.' She decides, as she'd rather not become sleep deprived from it. Turning her attention back to Saar she notes he is still looking at Envix. "Saar? Saar, look at me please? Saar! Yes, that's it, just a few seconds longer Saar.. Good job Saar!" She can't help but say to him in a exciting tone when after a bit of prodding with just saying his name, he started looking at her again and hold eye contact for at least fifteen seconds before he strayed his attention to some grass when it takes too long for him to have her respond.
