It disgusted Lad how readily North played along with the scheme. Still, he might prove useful—that is, thought Lad, if Brimstone ever shows up. That stupid Malamute would regret being whelped once this was all sorted out.
"Aw come on puppy dog, you know that you don't mean it. I know what you're digging at. I think just to humour you, and myself, I'll go along with it."
"Uh," Lad said awkwardly as North tapped him lightly with the tip of his tail. "You do that . . ." Lad gulped. He couldn't bring himself to call the other dog some sort of feigned pet name. "Yep," he added unconvincingly. North couldn't help but smirk a little at Lad's words, the whole awkwardness of it all. "If your heart isn't in it, why even bother? It'll just make me, not to mention you, look like a fool. Either get your jealous act together, or don't mention it anymore. Besides, you don't have to do that stupid mushy stuff. Only she-dogs like that. Just a boyish playfulness." All the while, North was inwardly laughing at how ridiculous Lad was being. Trying to call him a pet name, it was almost like Lad was more worried on making it look real than making Brimstone jealous. Either way though, North was determined to get back at the shepherd. lozi
"Boyish?" sniffed Lad. "We're grown men, idiot, not carnally frustrated juveniles. Besides, I want a real relationship, and you can't give me that—Brimstone can. Plus, he's . . . sensual, if you get what I mean."
Then he remembered Pandora and her stupid accent, and he felt anger rising in him all over again. He scrambled off the slippery edge and playfully pinned North to the sodden tar below. "If it's boyish playfulness you want, it's that you'll get," he said fiercely, licking North's nose.
Then he wilted all over again. He couldn't do this, absolutely, positively couldn't. He was saving his romantic energy for his true lover.
"I can't," he asserted. "I'm waiting for Brimstone. Only Brimstone. You should just scurry on off now—and never speak of this," he finished in a menacing snarl.

Yea sure. Response will be short. I just got off work and now I'm laying in my classroom at work waiting for a staff meeting to start)
It wasnt long until they reached the creek. Pandora began looking for the witchhazel. As she searched she described to Brimstone what it looked like.

Blitz's ears perked up in concentration, "Listen..." the sound of a male dogs speaking was faint, but it reached her ears again, "There is defiantly other dogs over there. We should go check it out." Without waiting for him to respond, the setter padded in the direction of the voice, feet light on the concrete ground. The corridor she was following become dark and narrow, but since the dogs voice was becoming louder, she didn't deviate from her course. The big pit hauled himself to his feet and padded behind Blitz. He heard the talking but figured it was just one of the many dogs in the shelter. He didn't say anything to Blitz though- she seemed intent on figuring this out so he simply followed. Even though he knew it was just another dog in the shelter, he was curious as to exactly who it was and what would happen when Blitz found them. Blitz's eyes were round in contemplation as well as interest in the scene before her. All these dogs were members of a... what did that Lad dog say any again? "A pack..." she breathed out. The English setter liked the sound of that. She navigated though the throng of dogs, loosing Fortissimo in the process. The room was just big enough for the dogs to be in, but it made it hard to reach the dog who called himself beta. She bumped into mother dog and recieved a nasty, but concerned look, "They say this is a pack, but I know what it really is. A cult." April let the word snap on her tongue, "We should get out while the going is good." The dog waddled off, leaving Blitz utterly puzzled. She shook off her confusion and tried to locate her story buddy - Fortissimo - once again. When she located him (which wasn't very hard conspired his size), she trottd over to him and cocked her head, "Hey. You thinking about joining the pack?"

Fortissimo nodded slowly. "Yea, I think that could be a good thing. I'll probably be a patroller. That's what I did with my human anyway so I'm good at it." (sorry it's short. Just got home and now I'm eating)

Pandora began looking for the witchhazel. As she searched she described to Brimstone what it looked like. Sniffing around the waterline, Brimstone came upon the strange yellow-flowered bush. It certainly was unique. Were those even petals? "Hey, Pandora? Is this what you're looking for? I think I found it!"

The next, he was pinning him to the floor, and sloppily licking his nose. Now he had hopped off of him, and was acting as if North had lured him into this.
"Hey, hey. Calm down. You don't have to do anything you don't want to. It's your idea, not mine, so it's not like you owe me any romantics. You know, this may be a good call. Try analyzing the situation a little better. And hey, I won't mention it, but it would be more efficient keeping someone quiet if you were nice about it. Us Sighthounds have to stick together. Not many understand our primal urge to chase, and our undying loyalties."
North bumped his haunches into Lad's shoulder, clearly not in an affectionate way. That was over. No, it wasn't even reassuring, but almost as if he was acknowledging and accepting his presence. Without a further word, the long-bodied dog was headed back to the building.

Sure, they were thin and leggy, but that was where the uniquity ended. Other dogs liked to chase things, too, some for fun, and some due to their prey drives.
Lad accepted the bump with discomfort. Now he was all alone. Dammit. Why had he gone back here in the first place? "Wait!" he demanded.

He called back to the dog. Trotting back towards the whippet, so they wouldn't have to shout over at each other. Warily, he eyed Lad, trying to get an idea of what he wanted.

She nipped off a few stalks. "Want to do it here or wait until we get back?" Brimstone nodded. "Let's bring them back to the building. Maybe we can find a place to store them until we need them again." With a wave of his tail, he beckoned her back to the building, trotting at a brisk pace.

Pandora nodded and followed Brimstone back. On the way she told him stories of some of her rescues. She was amazed at how easy and fun he was to talk to. Once they returned to the building she was suddenly worried that they would have to say goodbye. It was fair, she supposed, that he go talk to the other wolves of the pack, but she was having so much fun talking to him. Maybe he could help her look for more herbs the following day?

Brimstone nodded. "Hey, Pandora, I've got to go check out other dogs of the pack." Bumping her with his hip and giving her a smile, he continued, "But you can rest well knowing that you've definitely proven yourself a Healing dog." He gave her a friendly lick, before padding to the door.
As Brimstone left, Rhapsody scuttled out of his way. Seeing the big white dog he had came back with, she eyed her to see if they had been fighting. No, there was no signs of scuffle. No ruffled fur, no limping, or blood. Instead, the dog had an almost dreamy expression, like she was thinking about what had just happened. Maybe she had thought she had passed the 'tests' that Brimstone was talking about.
Sniffing the air to pick up a scent, he easily caught Lad's scent. Behind it, was North's. Growling, he raced to Lad's aid, tracking the scent to the fountain. There, he smelled with a sickening feeling, the scents intermingling, as if one had been tackled. But there was no blood. Raising his head, on the other side of the fountain, was North sitting next to Brimstone.
"YOU!" His voice erupted from his chest, certain he knew full well what was going on. Tail lashing, he took a menacing step towards them.
North sprang to his feet, stepping in front of Lad to protect him. For some reason, he felt some kind of kinship to him, and if this dog wanted trouble, he didn't want Lad in trouble. "This isn't what it looks like!"
"Don't feed me your lies, I know full well what is going on." Trembling with rage and disbelief, he stood stiff before the two figures, his lips pulled into a snarl. "If I wasn't enough for you, you could have just told me!" Unable to hold the sight any longer, he turned and stalked away, sprinting away when he got off the wet and slippery stones.

"Thank you Brumstoone," Pandora said happily and smiled as she watched him go. She would definitely ask him to go find herbs with her the following day. Her shook her head slightly to refocus and went to find a place to store the witchhazel. Her tail wagged slightly as she walked, she just couldn't make it stop.

"Talk to me," he said crossly. "About why you had the nerve to come here, for example, with your stupid identical characteristics. You should be back in the building, where you belong," he added, voice hardening. "Especially after the mess of a scene you put up, you know what I'm talking about. Why a social butterfly all of a sudden? I'm fair play, you know, without my husband to protect me. You could kill me right now."
The whippet had to admit, he anticipated the death part a little. Well, not that, but the opening combat. His muscles flexed.

Lad suddenly caught Brimstone's scent. He snarled as North hopped in front of him. "Get out of the way!" he thundered. He had not wanted this pompous buffoon here in the first place, especially not thinking that he could protect the whippet.
"Brimstone!" Lad skidded after his mate, his stretching over the tar underfoot. The scene was ethereal, as if plastered over with a gauzy material.
"It's not what you think!" he almost snapped. "I went away for some alone time, not to be with that —. And you know why?" he finished, voice rising, "Because you went and made friends with that Northern woman." He looked at Brimstone mournfully. "I don't expect you to forgive me, but you know I hate North. He knocked me out. Twice. Just try and hear me out."

Poe and Harper laid near each other by the fountain. Harper was drinking, her tongue lapping at the liquid. Her fur was a dark auburn, marred by dirt and filth. She didn't want to wash in the fountain, since that was where dogs drank. Poe was laying beside the fountain, chowing down on a frail rabbit. The thin animal must have been some human's pet, because it wasn't as fast as wild rabbits.
