Gingacreator

The days had went on by for the saluki, Ynova. Among the dogs in such a wasteland, the crossbreed had found himself a new pack to call his own: the Tempered Asylum. It been a pretty good while since he had joined the pack, thanks to their leader, Strike, but he still considers himself a new member, despite the time in between. Since the pack lived in a library, he made that his own accommodations, as such.

The such shifted towards midday, and it wasn't til then that Ynova left the library to go hunting. The hunting was mainly his own decision, and for most of that morning, he was looking over his own map, which he had kept for an even longer time. Since joining, he added the tempered asylum onto his map for that morning, before he left outside. the day was pretty clear, not as common during the autumn seasons. With Map in his personal handbag, he began moving out, searching for food.

A young dog wasn't to far from the entrance of packs home. He still wasn't sure about going inside, though he had various times. Nerves always got the best of him though. This pack, had shown itself to be nonviolent mostly but the weakling was still haunted by his past. He had his noise pressed ot the floor sniffling the ground and trying to pick up any scent that might lead him to food. 

Pawsteps crunching agaisnt the ground made him lift his head. The skinny creature recoiled when he was another dog make its way from the library and start towards him, past him probably. He grimanced to himself and stood up straight. He had promised himself he would stop being scared of everyone. Plus for once since he'd become infected he was actually hungry, and hunting was always easier in pairs. The dog took a deep breaht and called out. 

"H-h-hello?" Curse his stupid stutter.

Gingacreator

Ynova made a sudden halt when he heard the voice reach his ears. He didn't exactly expect any visitors near here, mostly because he promised Strike to be more careful when telling other about the Tempered Asylum, mainly because of risking losing the whole pack to the other packs. However, his head turned over to where the voice was heard. Who could be near here? 

Ynova walked over, finding a scared dog in his presence. He felt a bit unsure about the canine. For starters, he didn't look very infected by the "virus", as he called it. The only indication on his body was he mall blood stains under his eyes, but hat was about it. He remained calm though, seeing he was scared as it is.

"Who might you be?"

----------
FleetingStability

"My name is Z-zayif." He hated that stutter. It was the worst effect he'd gotten from the infection so far. 

The dog raised his paw and rubbed it over hsi noise grimancing at the blood there. No matter. He looked back to the other in front of him and seemed to relax some when no violence was thrown at him.

"I'm part of the Park that lives in the library as well. Are you g-going to hunt?" He asked him tilting his head slightly.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova took the information in with interest. So, he too was apart of the pack as well? He put his suspicions to a rest, turning so the dog could see both of his eyes, giving a much friendlier smile. If what he said was true, then he could trust him as such.

"You're a member too? Very well then. I'm Ynova, and yes, I'm just about to begin hunting," Ynova said, feeling more comfortable. However, it sounded like the virus was infecting this dog's insecurities, making him paranoid, so Ynova tried his best to not appear threatening towards the scared canine.

"I could use some help...you wanna join me?"

----------
FleetingStability

"That would be nice." He says thankful for the offer. " I dont eat much s-so they'll be plenty no matter how small of a game we find." 

Zayif unfurled himself from the position he had taken and straightened. He stretched and let out a small yawn stepping forward away from the stop to start out his nose to the ground again. 

"Is there a place you like to hunt?"

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova was glad the dog was more comfortable around him. Though, among the dogs Strike told him about, he never told him of any "Zayif". Perhaps he was a new member as well, in brand new. That in mind, he began walking off on his way, signaling the other to fallow.

"Well I don't exactly have a place I like to hunt. But, given the weather, I think there's a good spot to find some prey nearby. Fallow me."

----------
FleetingStability

He gives a small nod and trots after the other. Zayif is careful to keep his steps silent, not wanting the crunch of of their walking to scare off anything that they could find. He scented the air as they moved gazing back and forth. The dog wondered how long the other had been a member. He didnt know much of any of the pack really, he'd been here for such a short time and with his fear to great to go inside the place. Maybe he would today. If this dog was nice maybe the others were the same.

Zayif pauses when something catches his nose. He turns his head sniffing at it. It smelt like something editable but he only caught the scent for a second, so he shook his head and started after Ynova again.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova continued off with the other dog beside him. From his behavior, looking back and forth time and time again, it really does seem that he was rather jittery around him. With a gentle smile, he gave a nudge to Zarif, saying "You're safe with me." He looked up in the sky, seeing the clouds and their fancy formations. Though, He did have one question for him.

"Zarif? How long have you've been in the pack for? I didn't hear of you yet from the pack."

----------
FleetingStability

"I've only been here a f-few days." He says softly, giving the other a small smile at his previous words. Perhaps Strike had been right in his speaking. His pack seemed much nice then the others he had been a part of. "You wouldnt have heard about me.. I have exactly been inside the library more then a few minuets at a time." He says as they trot forward.

Zayif had slowly been relaxing, though only towards the presence of the other. The infection made him paranoid. He sniffed and kepted careful eyes on his surroundings, though he was looking for prey to.

----------
Gingacreator

"I see..." That would easily explain how he wasn't told beforehand. After all, a new pack member cant be shown to every dog at one time. The saluki gave a good whiff of the waste air, trying to get a good scent. Nothing. Ynova gave a sigh and continued onward, the path becoming clear. He knew that it'll be a while before reaching the right place, so all he could do is keep walking. Though questions still came around in his head about Zarif, one thing was his collar...a bit odd for a waster to be stuck with.

"Zarif...had you left Eden, might I ask?" Ynova asked. Normally, he wasn't much for talk, but, he was more comfortable with just one dog instead of a group.

----------
FleetingStability

The dog shook his head. "No i was born out here." He says as they pad forward. The collar hung rather losely around his throat, it made it easy to tell he was skinny and underweight. Zayif was just thinking his lucky starts that he wasnt getting light headed. He didnt want to faint now.

"D-did you leave eden? If you dont mind me asking." He says quickly, hopping he wasnt prying into a personal topic.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova turned away from the dog, his blind eye facing towards the dog, so he couldn't see him. He gave a sigh, and cleared his throat.
"Yes I did, and to be honest, I'm glad I did. The world out here, although dangerous, is more free. Got my eye cut out, and was found out. As you could see," Ynova explained, a paw aiming to his blind eye, where his black scar shown in all it's glory. He wished he would find the place soon, he wanted to hunt right away, and the trip was a drag to do.

----------
FleetingStability

"I've heard there tough on the r-rules." he says turning his gaze way as well to look where they were going. "Nothing in or out that even has a chance. I've always wanted to see the inside but, well i wouldnt get in there if i was dead." He says with a small sigh. "But you are right, its nice out here, plenty of spaces to roam, no real rules to tie you down."

Zayif let out a small hum as they moved. He'd always loved exploring, even if most of his wondering was hunting down the dog that had abandoned him. 

"Perhaps we can go exploring another time, when we dont have food on our minds."

----------
Gingacreator

"That's true," Ynova chuckled, after hearing the comment on him being dead to get in. Although the joke was rather rough, the fact was a bit funny, only cuz it was true. Besides, the city inside eden, as Ynova remembered, wasn't that special.

"Perhaps we could go exploring again. Something to help me expand my map anyway," Ynova said, not realizing what he said until afterward. So, he reached in his handbag, and took out the rolled up map.

----------
FleetingStability

"map?" he asked slowing down so he could peer at the map as he brought it out. "Did you do this inside?" He asked tilting his head curiously. 

A good sign that he was relaxing was a barrage of questions. Zayif asked a lot. he liked knowledge and liked to hunt for it. He hummed to himself and started up again. He could see what they were heading for now, it was close.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova looked on ahead, and could see the spot up ahead as well. He was glad they had made it to their hunting spot, but the question about the map got him a bit mor interested as he put the map back away.
"Indeed. I wasn't a mapper, but, I did like to make maps to help me out here. Now I'm outside, I can expand my map without limits. I can show you after hunting."

The area they arrived to looked like a prairie, dried up scrub and grass. There weren't any trees in the area, but there was a worn, cut up highway that went through. A highway to nowhere, as far as Ynova was concern. He turned towards Zarif after looking around the place.

"We're here, Zarif. I'll take the east side, Zarif, you can take the west side. Anything goes wrong, howl, and we'll meet back together. You understand?" Ynova explained. He wantedto be sure that he could cover more ground, and not lose each other.

----------
FleetingStability

"Howl if thers trouble i got it." He says with a small nod.

He stands there for a moment looking at the other before turning and padding off to his side. He pushes his nose to the floor and started to search. God he was hungry. Though he know once he took two or three bites he'd become nauseous and would have to stop eating. He pushed the though away from his mind and just walked, focusing on trying to actually find something to eat.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova wet off to his side of the prairie, his nose and hearing going right to work as he began his search in the grass. The tall grass gave him some good cover, yet, so did the prey, making it slightly difficult to look around. The saluki mix continued sniffing around the place for a while. During the search, he did manage to find a few stray birds, but so far, that was about it. As for catching prey...one bird...that's it. not a very good hunting day.

----------
FleetingStability

Zayif didnt have much more luck. He caught a rabbit, but it was thin and wouldnt hold much meat. he gave a small sigh and kept hunting, though he turned himself towards the side that Ynova had been hunting at. By the time he found the other dog, he didnt have anything else in his mouth but the scrawny rabbit.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova met back up with Zarif after a bit, seeing their luck was pretty much even, one rabbit and one bird. Some luck that was, normally he would at least find 5 decent sized birds. Must be low amount.
"Not much luck either I see..."...then, his ears caught something: some rustling in the grass. At first, he thought another predator was in their presence, but his nose caught the scent of something else...prey. But, the prey was something else. A Boar.

"Zarif, in the grass, quickly. think we've gotten lucky."

----------
FleetingStability

All he needed was that little push to go after it. He shared a quick grin with Ynova before lundging after the animal. A boar had big tusks, and it could be dangerous but they were hungry and with two dogs it could be easily taken down.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova, seeing the dog bolt right after the spot, suddenly grabbed him by the tail, yanking him back to the opposite end.

"I mean OVER HERE." Ynova cleared, pulling them both in the grass. Yes, they were hungry, but he knew that when it came to boars, you can't just rush in and expect nothing to go wrong. Boars are more vicious than some dogs in some cases, and he didn't want to take any chances this time.

"Wait just a second. You can't charge at a boar, that triggers the boars fighting instincts much faster," Ynova explained, before turning back out in the clearing. The animal, as he hoped, didn't notice the dogs, and walked out in the clearing. As he expected, the boar was a lone male, tusks jutting out of it's jaws.

----------
FleetingStability

He made a small yipping noise when his tail was grabbed. He didnt complain though and padded into teh spoke that Ynova led him. "How are we gonna catch it then?" He asked him peering over the grass at the boar. He didnt really know how to hunt these things safely, he'd normally just charge it and hope for the best.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova waited for a bit, not answering the curious canine. He made sure to keep a paw in front of Zarif in case he tried anything...the boat wandered closer...closer...closer...the boar began sniffing near them, head down...

"NOW!"

Ynova quickly lunged at the boar, getting a strong bite on the neck as the boar squealed and began bucking like mad.

----------
FleetingStability

Zayif lunged at the creature right behind him. He growled and got a good hold on the creatures shoulder. he focused more on helping holding it still, digging his paws into the ground and pulled the animal. Ynova could kill it with his bite if the damned thing would stop flailing so much.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova kept himself on the animals neck as it bucked wildly, but he found it rather hard, for trying to stay on a living wrecking ball is no easy task. At least the animals barely stayed in one place, thanks to Zarif's help. Ynova, feeling a little disorientated, finally managed to tear the boar's neck open, the large beast flailing around some more, until it finally collapsed...

"Finally. Okay Zarif, you can let go now."

----------
FleetingStability

The dog pulled his teeth from the flesh of the boars shoulder. He shook his head getting rid of the coarse short hair of the boar that had stuck between his teeth. When he felt that it had gone he stopped and looked down at their kill with a bit if a grin. 

"Seems our luck has managed to c-change" Zeyif said with a smile at the other. 

The brown and white dog sat back a bit to let the other go first. It was his rank of course, the weakling didn't have the right if status to just dig in, but besides that Ynova had been the whole reason they got this catch so he figured he out to get the first bite. 

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova chuckled at the comment, indeed, their luck did change for the better, as of were. However, when he saw Zarif back away so he could eat, he could tell he had some things to learn. Then again, he did kill it first, but still. Ynova simply sighed, and managed to pull off the boar's leg and, instead of starting to eat, gave it to Zarif.

"Now, Zarif. I understand you might wait and, I understand, but you helped me bring this pig down. As such, you can eat first. You have your fill, I'll just wait over here."

With that, Ynova walked over to the sidelines, near the grass, and sat down.

----------
FleetingStability

"I won't eat very much" He says simply looking after the other in confusion. He doesn't argue though, he never had been one for doing so. 

The akita mix shifted and lowered his head pulling off a chunk off the boar. He chewed it carefully before swallowing. He got down down four more bites before grimacing to himself and steppjng away. He turned to look back at Ynova. 

"that's all for me. " He says simply settling out of the way." doesn't take much for me to fill up"

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova simply watched as the mix ate his meal, and was oddly surprised as to how little he actually ate. Although he didn't eat much himself during his time before meeting Strike, and Strike himself told him before he had to eat, even if he didn't feel hungry. At least, that's what Ynova remembered from him.

"I see the virus effected your appetite...You need to eat a bit more than that, in order to maintain your strength, Zarif."

Ynova can understand why the dog would think that he was full from the pain. The virus can effect each dogs in different ways, though different effects had similar routes. In this case, the dog's stomach churned when food was present inside, no matter how little the dog actually consumed, he could tell.

----------
FleetingStability

"it'll take a while for me to get more down. Come eat with me. We took this down together we should share kt" He says. There was plenty of prey for the both of them. 

Zeyif laid down beside his leg and put a pay over it making himself take another bite, chewing it slowly

----------
Gingacreator

It was glad that Zarif was at least trying. Ynova settled down by the boar, taking some meat off the neck and enjoying the meat. The meat was a bit dry, as usual, but wasn't hard. Kinda like chewing some cardboard if biting a small piece. Still, the meaty taste still made it good. However, he didn't plan to keep all of it for himself: he wanted to bring it back for the pack. Sometime soon, anyway.

"Alright, Zarif. Perhaps we should bring this boar back soon, who knows when some scavengers will come around soon."

----------
FleetingStability

The dog stood up greatfull that he could use this as an excuse to stop eating "that's a good idea. There not much to eat there but old cans of food. I think they'd like from fresh meat" He gave a nod at the others idea. There was plenty to share with the rest of the pack. 

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova nodded, though wasn't too sure when the scavengers would come around and try at their catch. Without much other word, Ynova grabbed hold of the dead pig's torso, and began dragging him. The pig was a bit heavy, so pulling a ton of dead weight wasn't any easy task in and of itself. While moving, he continued glancing up in the sky, making sure no predators were around. When it came to scavengers, the ones from the sky usually come first.

----------
FleetingStability

He grabbed onto the other end of the boar. There wasn't enough left on the leg for any dog to get a bite from. So instead he helped drag the dead weight of the pig back to the pack. He did his best to help the other keep a look out. He didn't want to have to fight off any unwanted company either

----------
Gingacreator

The saluki continued trying to move the dead boar through the grass, and back towards the back. As for mentioned, it was difficult to drag a large dead boar back to the pack. However, their luck pretty much drained away, as, above them, he could catch the sight of birds circling the carcass. The scavengers had arrived, and in the form of infected vultures! These vultures look about as big as they were, and there were about 5 of them!

"Oh, great."

----------
FleetingStability

Zeyif bared his teeth and growled at the birds that flew over their heads. He didn't want to give up his kill but that didn't mean Ynova would be as willing as he would to take on infected birds. 

"do you want to try and take them on? " He asked him 

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova turned to the dog with a slight confused look; the dog that was freaked out earlier, and he wants to fight? He had to admit, he didn't expect that, coming out of Zarif. Either he had gain some confidence, or Zarif just wanted the birds gone. The birds begun to land around them, the birds looking ugly as ever, their feathers greasy and dirty, and their bare heads blood drenched and even puss drained on some. The very sight made Ynova wonder if the vultures were more undead than alive. Oddly, the birds didn't bolt for them just yet...Watching them both...just watching.

----------
FleetingStability

"nasty creatures " Zeyif huffed lightly at the birds. He didn't have confidence no he just loathed vultures. He been chased away from a kill to many times to like them.

"we should get moving. Before they decide to come after us" He says reaching down to grab their prey again and keep movong

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova didn't bother to argue, continuing to pull their catch along as the birds fallowed them. They weren't even flying, just walking behind them. Some of them stopped to lap up the blood left by the corpse like vampires or something. Ynova knew, at some point, the birds would get impatient with them. One even tried at the corpse, but Ynova quickly barked, and got the bid to back off again, but no without some small piece of meat.

----------
FleetingStability

At one point Zayif got impatient with the birds he let go. Of the corpse and took after barking until they flew up. Of course that didn't stop them from landing and trailing behind them again when he settled back into helping Ynova move the corpse

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova just kept an eye on the birds, obviously they weren't gonna jst fly off without something to eat. The saluki simply sighed; he might as well do it With a good yank, he torn off a large piece, and threw it at the birds, the vultures going crazy to get their piece. It was the only way to keep the birds away.

----------
FleetingStability

With the birds taken care of they could finish their journey home in peice. The boy let out a little sigh if releif when the birds didn't follow them again to precopudied with their meat. He looked up attempting to judge how much farther jt is they had to go. 

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova stopped for a second, taking a breath, and turning back to see how much farther they had to go. It still was a bit of ways to go, and , as a extra, it was starting to get cloudy. Stay out any longer, and they'll get caught in the rain.

"Come on, Zarif. Let's hurry up," Ynova advised, pulling harder on the boar.

----------
FleetingStability

The dog got an extra firm grip on what they had left of the boar and heaved. He sped up his paws to match Ynova's steps. It wasnt much farther now and he coudl see the others concern about getting caught up in the rain. The dog gave a little grimance and pushed on. 

"its not much father now is it?" He asked him after a few moments of walking.

----------
Gingacreator

"That's right. Just get it inside, Zarif," Ynova insisted. His voice didn't sound demanding, but, he didn't want their meal and themselves, to get caught in the rain (or worse: acid rain). Ynova kept heaving it for a while, until they ended up in front of the library, and inside...and not a moment too soon, as the rain began to fall after they got in.

----------
FleetingStability

Zeyif dropped the boar once it was a safe distance inside the library. He looked back out the door and frowned at the rain. He padded towards it his nose twitching. It smelt to acidic he would have to resign to staying inside until it passed. He let out a small sigh and turned back trotting over to Ynova again. 

"we made good timing I must say. That would have been nasty to get caught in"

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova sighed As he settled down by the fireplace nearby. He was glad that the roof wasn't holed like many of the other buildings around here.
"Indeed. I'm not too sure on when the pack will come back. We'll just have to wait in here until the rain stopped. Until then, have a seat by the fire."

----------
FleetingStability

"I think this is the first time I'll meet anyone from the pack, when they come back that is." He says softly moving over to settle down beside the fire. He stretched his legs out in front of himself and rolled onto his side letting himself get comfortable for the first time in a while. It was nice in here he had to admit, warm and safe feeling. 

"What are they like? The other pack members"

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova had to think for a minute. Even if he was in the pack longer than Zarif, he never really had time to get to know any of the other pack members aside of Strike. In fact, the information about the others came directly from Strike, and they weren't very much detailed.

"Well, to be honest, I didn't have much chat with them, aside from their leader. As much as I know, they aren't dangerous. Strike told me a bit about them, but I didn't speak to them directly as of yet. One's named Ramses, co-founder of the group, and the one that came up with the idea. There's also Synn, female pack member and experience with cannibalism, if I'm not mistaken, Though I believe she isn't too far off," Ynova explained. No, Strike didn't tell him directly, but after sometime figuring things out, he'd gotten some sort of hint on the matter.
"Strike also mentioned someone by the name of Roua Viara, whom he tried to enter in the pack. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if she's in or not..." Ynova sighed, and turned to Zarif.

"I believe that's it so far, aside from myself, and you...As for Strike, he is a nice dog, and a good leader. But, He's not the type to trust right away to any wastelander, especially when it came to the Tempered Asylum, and sharing it."

----------
FleetingStability

The dog gave a small nod. He rolled up, so he laid on hsi stomach instead of on his side. He quietly listened to the others words as he explained. The other must be rather new here as well. Seeming as though he didnt know very much about any of the other dogs. It left him to wonder what these dogs were like, though finally having their names was a bit of a relief to him. At least he coudl say he knew that much of his pack mates.

"Well its got to be a good group then, is Strike is very picky about the dogs he lets in." Zayif muses mostly to himself at this. 

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova looked back to the fire, the heat warming his fur so comfortably as he stayed there. Strike was a bit of an interesting character, but shouldn't go far calling him picky.
"I guess, but I'm not sure. The right word is "Cautious", after all, the dogs out here aren't exactly the best source of company. Get better company outta the vultures," Ynova gave a chuckle; at least the vultures don't kill for literally no reason.

----------
FleetingStability

Zayif understood what he was saying completely. "I can defiantly understand that." He says shaking himself slightly before settled back down. "I've met some rather.. out of it dogs i must say." He says with a small grimace. "From what i've seen so far, this place is heaven."

Zayif was relaxed, his back legs kicked out beside him and his head resting on his paws as he spoke. It felt nice to be laid back, to be lazy, to not worry about being attacked at any moment.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova could understand his thinking, and gave a smile.
"Well, this place ain't completely "Heaven", but it's pretty close, I have to admit." Ynova said, stretching his legs, as he too started feeling a bit lazy. However, as he did, he remembered something he promised earlier: his map.

He got his handbag opened, and pulled out his map, placing it in front of them both, the fire a perfect light to see.

"Wanna see my map? I believe I promised I'd show it to you."

----------
FleetingStability

The dog perked up at this. he had been promised and had been a good deal excited to see what areas the other had mapped out already. He scrambled up into a sitting position and waits as he unfurls it. Zayif peers at the map, looking over it closely. "You've been to quiet a few places."He notes looking across the paper. 

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova liked the dogs enthusiasm when it came to him liking the map. When a lot of work had been put into something, it's nice to be appreciated.
"Yes I had. It helps when you travel a lot of places, and return various times. I've managed to get the packs marked up, including our own here," Ynova pointed to the newly drawn in library on the map. He also pointed out Eden, and the other pack territories.
"Took me years to create this map, and here it is."

----------
FleetingStability

"It looks amazing." He told Ynova looking up to give the other a smile. ""

Zayif turned back to the map studying it for a moment. He read the notes scribbled beside mostly the other packs camps. He let out a small hum as he studied the few places that didn't have very much.

"Theres still a few places you havent explored." He says motioning to them, with a paw, "Do you plan to travel and map them as well?"

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova nodded.
"Of course I do, though I hadn't got much time as of late. Who knows? maybe the rest of the pack can go on a road trip and we all can explore together."

Ynova knew how unlikely such an idea was. But still, it would be nice to explore the landscape with the whole pack, sounding like a lot of fun.

----------
FleetingStability

"I'd come with you whenever you want to go if you didnt want to travel alone." He says simply looking up at Ynova, "I'd be fun to go traveling."

He did honestly think that. Zayif loved exploring himself, and it was be nice to do it with another dog for a change then on his own. If he had someone to help back him up he could go farther, check out places that might be dangerous for one dog alone to go to. It could be intresting, enjoyable.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova simply gave a nod.
"That's nice to hear. If only Strike was as enthusiastic..." Ynova trailed off, as his head rested on his paws, thinking things over. Ynova's map remained open on the ground in front of them, as he could actually hear the rain outside. He didn't knew how long it's gonna be, but, he didn't really mind it much at the moment...

----------
FleetingStability

"Does he not like the idea of you traveling around so much?" Zayif asked him.

For once the dog didnt want to run back outside, he didnt feel cooped up at being inside the library. He settled back down rather easily, kicking his back legs out to one side so he could settle comfortably agaisnt the ground. The Fire warmed him and made him able to ignore the rain that pattered agaisnt the roof.

----------
Gingacreator

"No, no, not that, it's just I doubt Strike would want the whole pack to simply leave on some exploration...But then again, I never asked him yet, so, it's anyone's guess, really," Ynova explained. Although he knew Strike, even by a bit, he didn't get any full picture of Strike as of late. What he did get was that Strike is a smart, friendly, yet suspicious dog whom tries as much as he could to keep his library, and pack, safe from the infected packs that lay beyond in the wastes. With what knowledge he already had gotten, he could only assume ust having the entire pack simply run off would the last thing on Srike's mind.

----------
FleetingStability

"Well you cant be sure until you ask him." The other insisted, rolling himself onto hsi abck and stretching out his legs. 

Of course he didnt know very much about strike at all. He'd only met him for a few brief moments, when he had stumbled upon the library on accident and requested to join the pack that lived here.

----------
Gingacreator

Ynova simply shrugged, and scratched the back of his head with his back leg out of boredom.
"Perhaps your right. Next time, I should ask him," Ynova simply said, before stretching his legs to his side. It would be very interesting to see what Strike had to say about that, although what reaction he would really get made him a bit puzzled. Although, the saluki began to feel a bit, most likely from dragging back the boar from earlier.

Zayif nodded at the others words. Good he should ask him. There wouldnt be any harm in it anyhow, the wrose the pack leader could do was tell them no. The dog set his head on his paws only to pick it up a moment later when he let out a small yawn. Perhaps Ynova wasnt the only one begining to feel sleepy from dragging back the boar, nor did the gentle patter of rain or the warmth of the fire help.

Ynova gave one more stretch before settling himself down by the fire. The patter of rain, warmth of the fire, and the company helped in his snooze. So, on a whim, he settled down next to Zarif.
"Whelp, I should get some rest. You should too." With that, Ynova closed his eyes, and began to sleep.

He looked over at the dog when he settled nest to him. He waited until the other had drifted to sleep. He hesitated for a moment before settling against Ynovas side as well. He let his eyes close and drifted to sleep after him.
