Oh for sure! Javalle will definitely an integral part of the help as someone who’s there to also give advice, and just be there! Hell definitely help sort of anchor Jack per we? Nola is dearest control training instructee, lolo. And I’m excited for what we all have planned! And Juno! I’m a bit curious, since dpshifters can shift at anytime, will a Jack have any accidents or shifting not only on full moons?) ( (: )

(Speaking of shifting, how are you guys planning on writing the day after? I’m thinking with Jack it’s like a bad hangover or something)

(Ooh I can’t wait! I can also tell the Dammion may have fun with Jack should he get captured. Trying to figure out why he doesn’t behave like the rest of the were-creatures and experiments. If he gets captured,I’m planning on him totally disrespecting him by calling him Walter all the time haha. Dammion’s gonna be so much fun to read!)

A bad hangover sounds about right for Jack, lol. As for Nola, hers are pretty smooth, and she might actually be shifting in the next post or so as well, to help out Bruno. She’s got enough control to be able to shift back, even during a full moon. As for affects, her bones might just be a little extra achey, and her senses might be the tiniest bit stronger than usual.
Oh! Excited to read it Lazzy!
And poor Jack, dude might get caught by the Hunters and taken to Dammion! Depending on how it all goes!)

What are you doing? Stop!Shut it, will you? I have a plan.The wolf had no idea where this camp was, but clearly intimidation alone wouldn’t give him what he wanted. Even that annoying voice wouldn’t stop begging for silence. But perhaps… perhaps he could bluff? Let the mongrels think he knows, take them to a secluded spot and attack them for answers? Yes… That could work. They won’t fall for it. Just watch, they won’t.I said SHUT. UP. You crave blood just as much as I do.Alright, suppose I know where they’re camp is. What business do you have with the pack? "Simple, they either give us a large chunk of their territory or they die." Ryder answered with a shrug of his shoulders. The sandy colored wolf slowly moves over to his companion. "You shouldn't be giving away our secrets! We should both just jump him and go about our night!" He growled half whispering to him.

Delvin and the main group that got attacked were holding their own well enough. He wasn't to badly hurt aside from some bite marks and a few scratches. Despite how well they were doing, he could see a few of his packmates struggle as some of them were surrounded by more than one shifter. He was about to turn to go help when Lola suddenly leaps forward and bites at his muzzle while Lincoln attempts to make him fall over.
Delvin waited until Lincoln got close before turning around and kicking him hard in the chest. This stopped Lincoln for a moment as he tried to catch his breath. "Just give up your little pack is finished!" Lola sneered as she keeps her grip on him. Delvin simply ignores her and tries to shake her off.

One of the wolf’s ears twitched as he tried to keep his composure. No use giving himself away any time soon. You’re going to get caught.
Well, if a discussion is what you want, perhaps I can take one of you to the alpha. I believe I know where they hunt this time of night, though it may be best if I take only one. The alpha is also the paranoid type, I’m sure you understand.
He didn’t know if his tone was convincing enough, but the bait was set, so to speak. He just needed to see if they would take it.

++ Charlemagne Cross-- "I will manage." He tried not to sound dismissive, as the sentiment is appreciated. Charlemagne's pain threshold may be smaller as a coyote, but he will persevere as long as he is still in control of his mental faculties. He's been through worse in either form....His only concern would be in remaining precise through the bloodloss and discomfort of a forced shift. "I am a doctor." Still, he feels compelled to reassure her. It may have been inferred by his mention of a triage kit, but he could just as easily be a packmember who merely thought to bring one. Charlemagne doesn't like to share his profession for appreciation or attention, but he finds that it aids in putting others at ease in tense situations.
Not, he notices, that the deputy shows any signs of being anxious. She appears to have trust in capabilities that he has yet to show, or is it more his instincts as a father? Perhaps the fraught situation does not allow for a display of doubts, especially when time is of the essence.
His idle musings drift away with the familiar view of his clearing. Ah, they've finally come upon their destination. The timer counting away in his head halts at a reasonable number, and he can internally sigh in relief at the time they've made. He may have been more than sixteen minutes behind on his own.
Charlemagne leaves the she-wolf to gently set his son on the ground while he hurries over to the nearby basket and pulls out a tarp with his teeth. He drags it over to her and smooths it out as best he can with canine paws before departing once again to pull at a neatly folded blanket, as well as a pair of slacks and a white compression shirt. The roll of bandages he reserves for himself is dropped on top. "I'll just be a moment-" His ears flick to register her words but he doesn't cease his movement, limping behind a thicker patch of foliage and crooked tree for cover.
"I see...That would be for the best, thank you."
Distantly irritated by his awkward form, Charlemagne nonetheless manages to toss the blanket over himself and tuck his body under it. "In that case, perhaps it is best if you avoid shifting until I am ready to treat you, would that be acceptable? Bruno shouldn't require more than a paw or two to be kept still, as he is likely very weak..."
Courtesy dictates that he wait for her response before shifting. He wouldn't hear it otherwise, and he will likely be more than a 'moment'...Charlemagne has forced shifts before, even at the height of the full moon, and they are never pleasant. The key is to take it slow, which he is loathe to do in this instance. The deputy's reply is acknowledged with a hum, and the doctor forces himself to loosen his sore muscles.
The pull to remain shifted is strong- but still somewhat weaker than it was previously. With a goal motivating himself more than his own antipathy toward it, he has something more solid to focus on. First, he steadies his breathing. Then he focuses on his right paw. The transition would be grotesque so he keeps his gaze on the tangled roots before him, ears flattened in distress at the sound and visceral sensation of snapping bones and shifting muscles. The general pain flares brighter when it comes to his injured leg, a siren in his head that reverbrates throughout his entire body. Blood drips steadily onto the leaves below. He clenches ever-shifting teeth and limits expressions of discomfort to the odd strained grunt, forcing his mind to go to the task ahead rather than dwelling on the misery he's currently feeling. Charon needs hands to work. And so he will have them.
The process takes much longer than he'd like- there is no time to rest despite the fine tremors wracking his sweaty body and the throbbing pain that matches his heartbeat- Charlemagne moves the blanket underneath him and quickly wraps his leg. He dresses on the ground, as it usually takes two tries for him to stand and keep his balance. His back muscles flex with the need for a tail to help maintain it- his body still feels...fallacious but the compression shirt helps ease the lingering feeling of shifting muscles. Charlemagne returns to the clearing with an unsteady gait but determined stride. He drops the large flannel blanket beside his basket and pulls out a softer one from its' confines, arranging this carefully in a bed on a nearby stump that is as clean as he can make it. He brushes his fingers along the inside of the basket to retrieve a small box of bobby pins. Shifting always ruins whatever products keep his hair away from his face, and the autumun tones of his wavy locks are falling into his eyes. He smooths it back and pins them into place before flicking open the metal box to his right. Charlemagne withdraws a large bottle of chlorhexidine that he uses to scrub his hands and bare arms, then peels surgical gloves from a sealed box and dons them with as little motions as possible. His breathing is still unsteady, so he covers his face with a mask as well before bringing the sewing kit to Bruno's side.
Ideally he'd like him to shift so that the stitches wouldn't be disturbed on a later one- the thought of his son remaining in this form for a prolonged period unnerves him- but there is little chance of that.
Charlemagne hums softly- a familiar lullabye- as he turns the small body to face him and cleans the wound on his head with quick, delicate motions. He then injects local anasthesia before performing the surtures with steady hands. Underneath the mask, his jaw occasionally clenches with pain or discomfort but he remains entirely focused on the task at hand. He had decided to forego painkillers himself on the off chance they affected his procedure- Charlemagne can't risk a clouded mind. In this case, pain keeps him level. Whatever he is feeling, it must be worse for Bruno.
He nods for the deputy to aid him whenever the young shifter winces or reacts with discomfort, increasing the volume of his humming in an effort to soothe him. The final chorus of 'Ja Jang Uri' ends with the last stitch, and he exhales slowly through his nose before maneuvering around Bruno to kneel at his back. Charlemagne cleans the long claw marks with a simmering fury that tightens his brow at times, but he manages to hum out his frustrations by the time he wraps the little coyote up in bandages and pins them under his chest.
A moment is spared to peel off a glove and gently stroke his son's face- but he belatedly remembers that his assigned tasks have only reduced in number. Charlemagne carefully lifts Bruno and nestles him within the makeshift nest, sparing him one last glance before shaking out the blanket he'd used earlier with a brief tsk at the blood speckling its hem.
"Would you like something to cover your shift? I apologize, I only had space for two blankets...A change of clothes is available as well, however."

[ Sorry- I didn't want to break this part into multiple posts so I rushed it a bit- there are probably inaccuracies ^^"
I'll also probably go into more depth on what Charlie is using later~ Because you can't use all the same chemicals on animals that you do humans but going into that would make the post longer- ]

Ryder tilts his head before letting out a small laugh. "Right now, both alphas should be fighting each other. By the end of the night he may or may not be dead! You think me a fool little wolf? The sandy colored wolf pins his ears back and takes a few steps back.

Maria watched from her hidey shrub as the lynx clamored up a tree into utter obscurity from the girl. Maybe she could keep track of him with his scent. However, as she tried to take a whiff all she got was nasty blood mixed with a bunch of other animals. Don't throw up your squirrel, don't throw up the squirrel. As she tried to keep her "dinner" down here ears could not help but pick up the sound of a large animal. What could that be? Well it didn't sound like a form of elk of buck. Was it a bear, do bears shifter or not even live in these parts? Please don't be a bear, honestly she didn't know if she could handle that right now or ever. She was really not ready to be some yogis picnic basket. She is to small and stringy, not tasty at all. Maria was so wrapped up in her thoughts on the potential yogi that she didn't notice the lynx until he nudged her. With a rather loud yip she jumped out of the bush. Turning back to look at her feline companion she lowered her head in embarrassment. Yeah leaving is nice, leavings good. She then started to frantically prance in place ready to run for the hills, or Mexico which ever came first. Javalle flinched slightly as the pup leaped from her hiding spot. She must've sensed how bothersome he appeared, along with the tension exploding with feuding and bloodshed. Poor thing; I've put her through too much tonight. Well, at least she seemed rather eager to get going again, even wearing the ground from pacing in anticipation. She looked ready to launch like a rocket at any given moment. Hey, hey. Hold on a second. Don't want you getting lost again. Let's take things slow first.
Carefully the lynx crawled through the grass one paw at a time. Stalking was in his biology, and they could fit through any small gap in a hitch. But he wasn't so sure about his wolf pal here. Keep to the undergrowth for now. Once the scents have faded we can speed up. Javalle kept his tufted ears pricked for any signs that an unwelcome guest was stalking, his fur quivering from the slightest creak. He glanced back every now and then to see if the pup was in any trouble, but other than that he carried on, only pausing if he still heard shrieks from the Primal Bloods, or any chirps from birds nesting above them. He shuffled until all he could smell was the trail the pair left on their way to the pack, now overrun with rougues. The lynx shook themselves free from the scraps of leaves and brambles and vines. He was going to give themself a thorough wash later. He felt dusty. The aroma of herbal musk overcame Javalle, and he sneezed, growling at himself for making a commotion. More politely to the pup, he gave a small meow to let her know the coast is clear. He shuffled his paws slightly as he asked about what he was going to offer. Would you like to continue walking with me? My territory isn't much farther.

( You’re fine Hush! It was enjoyable to read, and not small too long for me(: Mine might have some misspells, as usual. But I hope this is good! Mine might actually be a bit long as well ^^’) .’ - Nola Levington - ‘.
Nola merely quirks an ear at his response, before continuing on. He’ll be fine for long enough, that much is clear to her. So, she’ll let his son get treatment first before possible insistence at helping both herself, and him. What good is treating his son if he’s too hurt to be there for him? At his added sentiment, her ears tilt, expression the smallest bit soft at the attempt of reassurance.“ I know.” Is her simple reply before they make it to his clearing, where she can only presume from the many context clues, to be his. There’s differences in people, depending on how they were raised, or their profession. Not to mention the scent of hospital that only somewhat reeks from the silver coyote. And not the simple one, it’s the particular strong one of someone who likes cleans their hands more than twenty times a day, and not to mention the particular placement of his paws. Articulate, even if pain addled, only people who work with delicate things, or that of which needs precision have a specific gait to their walk quite like his. Nola keeps an ear out, speaking her quiet words of caution as be trots off with a limp to retrieve his triage kit. She feels a tinge of relief at his agreement, before quirking both ears to a point, eyes on him for a small moment as he speaks once more. She readily agrees. “ That is perfectly acceptable, Mr. Cross.”She replies, tone genuine, but a tinge more serious. They have time, but still, more time than necessary could be a detriment to Bruno. As he goes about his own forced shift back, her ears picking up idle sounds of discomfort, and the familiar sounds of bones snapping, and rearranging into place. His is a bit slower than those she’s used to, from her family, but she’s not too surprised. Their methods aren’t all that used, outside of smaller groups she knows of and her own family. Twitching her whiskers out of her idle thoughts, she goes about arranging Bruno more comfortably. Just slightly nudging him, and going around on the side she’ll likely be needed. Nola gently places a paw right on his shoulder, hazel eyes flicking over his prone form. There’s not many ways she could make him more comfortable, though it certainly helps he’s not really awake. So she keeps a steady paw on him, ignoring the slowly growing sharper pain on her own shoulder. Nola’s eyes flick up once she hears him returning, watching as he goes about pinning his hair back, prepping his hands, and gathering the supplies he’ll need. The sight of an efficient doctor, who’s confident in their skills. This is her first look at the doctor in his human form, and takes quick note of what he looks like before setting her gaze back onto Bruno as his father approaches. Nola’s ears softly tilt at the quiet lullaby coming from Cross, watching carefully as he goes about his work. She sends a slightly curious, and tinged worried glance at his pained scent, but she simply waits for his signals, and helps keep Bruno as still as she can without putting bruising pressure on him. The small hint of protectiveness in his scent is unsurprising, so Nola adjusted her paw, letting the doctor work. The main thing that truly worries her about these rouges, is their willingness to attack people of Bruno’s age, and for all she may know, some of his friends were younger. If they’re so willing to harm, and possibly kill, teenagers, or anyone really.. well, that puts a different perspective on it. Originally she’d thought they were the somewhat rare cases of slip-control shifters. Not able to return to their human self, and too deep into their animalistic side.. but still quite too smart to be simple animals. Nola’s thoughts center themselves when the lullaby ends, and the last stitch is tied off. She gently removes her paw, watching the father take care of his obviously beloved son. Her ears perk once he addresses her again, slightly blood speckled blanket in his hands. Nola debates for a single moment before getting to her paws, with a slight wince, ears perked as she looked up to him. She trotted over, standing in front of him, her head at full height reaching near the human shifted man’s waist. “ That would.. be quite appreciated. Thank you. A blanket is better than none, especially a change of clothes.” She replies steadily, voice more light now that Bruno is taken care of. She waits for him to retrieve the clothes he’s, thankfully and politely, willing to lend her, as well as for him to simply settle the blanket onto her back. Once he’s gotten what is needed, she takes it carefully between her teeth, and similar to him, glances around, and carefully walks over to shift behind cover. Nola finds a large based tree, and a few bushes sound it to be her ideal place, slips through the leaves, ignoring the slight scrape against her skin, and blinks away any dust. She sets the clothes down carefully, and takes just a moment to breathe in slowly, letting oxygen fill her lungs. More forced, full moon shifts are likely the most difficult. So, Nola focuses on her neck, letting each vertebrae slowly shift, and lock into place. A tail shortening, ears adjusting, and hands snapping and changing to a familiar shape. Her arms is still leaking blood, and its not slowed by any means, either her movement. She looks at it on her pale, and slightly dirt skin with a small hum. Shaking her head, feeling the ache start at the base of her neck, and spreading through her body. The ache should settle soon enough. Sighing quietly, the ballerina shifts the grabbing the narrowed clothes with a delicate hand before standing up in an easy motion. At least it’s her arm now, rather than any leg that’s injured. Stretching her neck with a small wince, Nola dresses quickly, having to adjust them some to stay more properly. It’s less than three minute later that she carefully steps out from the behind her cover, blanket folded in hand, and her long, mid back length hair hastily tucked back behind her ears. She gives the doctor a slight smile as she approaches. “ Thank you, again. For the clothes, and help for this. Will you need any help for your own injury?” Nola adds, gesturing to the gashes on her shoulder he’s offered to help, and offering the blanket back for him to return it where he prefers. Nola thinks it’s only reasonable to offer some form of help to him, after he helps her.

Maria watched as the lynx managed to fit so easily crawl under the undergrowth of the forest. Did felines just not have bone or something, like how can they just fit in what looks to be the most impossible places. Trying her best to mimic the lynx she tried to crawl under the foliage. She was slow, like snail like slow. Give her a break she has never clawed like this as a wolf, you try doing something for the first time and see how you fair.
With each inch she got a new twig stuck in her fur, leaves covering her, and ew she even accidently ate a spider or something. It is official after all this is over she is never leaving her room again. No grass, no sticks, and definitely no bugs! Just her nice clean books in a air conditioned room.
As the lynx gave a meow she finally got out of the undergrowth, finally. She looked like one of those chiapets, but one where you put too much seed on it making it look like some weird shrub monster. Yeah that was how she felt right now. With a slightly exhausted whine she replied Sorry to be a bother, but yeah I am sticking with you. I just want this horrid night to end so I can take a long shower and never think about this forest again.

The sandy colored wolf pins his ears back and takes a few steps back. Fine. And to think, I would have lead you right to them.The wolf turned from the two and began to slowly walk away. They would either attack, or if he was right, give into his conditions. He’ll just have to bluff a little longer. You’re an idiot. You’ll get us killed.Shut up. Have a little faith.

No she is going to try her hardest to block this whole night out of her memory. Pretend everything that happened was just a bad, and I mean bad, dream. If that fails she is just gonna lie, even though she knows she can't lie to save her life.)
