Bullet, Skeil, Maladay, Dianthia, Pistol, Narsinia, Honthale

As the pack splintered up on their individual errands, Bullet took the initiative to entertain the pups while Skeil set out on border patrol.

"Dad, why did she do that?" Dianthia was persisting, looking more awe-struck than terrified by the suicide of Bloodlust.

"Honey, it's a really complic-" Bullet began, ears going back a moment before perking forward.

"'Cause she knew we were going to tear her to peices!" Pistol jumped in, cutting his father off, "Haunter scum! Worthless peice of shi-"

"Pistol!" It was Bullet's turn to cut in, bringing an authorative rumble to his voice that made Pistol drop his head and tail appeasingly, "Watch your language!"

At this point, young Maladay had wondered over and interjected with her own innocent observations. "But the other day, I heard Honthale say shit. And he said fu-"

A loud and obviously forced 'cough' obscured what the little hybrid rattled off. Honthale's attempt to cover up the word didn't help to stave off the dirty look he was currently recieving from his uncle though, nor did it stop Maladay from her report.

"...and he said that Hydras can kiss his-"

"Enough! Ok, enough!" Bullet barked, giving Honthale an even dirtier look before attempting to swing the conversation to a different route. Without the heart to punish Skeil's daughter, or his own offspring for that matter, the hybrid tried a different tactic, "Don't you all want to... oh, I don't know... play a game or something?"

Narsinia was the first to jump at the offer. "Follow the leader!" She offered merrily, but the idea was quickly shot down by Dianthia.

"Hide and seek!"

Tug of war!"

Wrestling!"

Bullet groaned and hung his head. Well, at least he had averted their curious minds from worse subjects.


Kalion

The suicide of Bloodlust didn't seem to affect Kalion; he didn't know her, and as far as he was concerned she was a traitor.

He was sprawled over the floor, attempting to get to sleep, when an interesting conversation started up between Bullet, and the younger Lurker pups. One large ear perked and turned to listen in, but the language that threatened to spill out of the youngsters both appauled and amused him. Sitting up, Kalion watched the humourous verbal battle, a large grin on his face. Bullet finally seemed defeated, and Kalion decided it might be a good time to try and step in. Sauntering over, the large hybrid sniggered to himself before trying out a game that could bring peace and quiet to the adults, whilst entertaining the pups. "Hey! How would you guys like to play a special game? A game no one else has ever played before?"

He quickly glanced to Bullet to check that it was okay, before continuing, "I'll say an object, and you have to go and find that object - from somewhere in the alleys mind - and bring it back to me? The first one to bring it back gets to..." he trailed off, whilst trying his best to think of something that would make it worth their while. A desperate look was sent to Bullet, that was something along the lines of Think of something good!.


Magnet

Magnet walked up beside Maladay, nipping at her sister playfully. "Let's go exploring! Like in the human place!" Magnet yipped, dancing paw over paw. "And see the pretty trees in the humans houses! They have rainbow lights too, that disappear in the day...but come back in the night!"


Bullet, Maladay, Dianthia, Pistol, Narsinia, Honthale

At a loss for how to deal with the arguing pups, Bullet was emensely greatful for Kalion's attempt to tame the youngsters. An appriciative glace was thrown to the other as he lifted his head.

"I said Tug-O-War!" Pistol was snapping, just when Kalion interjected. Half-skeptical, he let his argument drop while he listened to what the adult had to offer. Dianthia and Narsinia had stopped their bickering to listen in as well.

"That sounds like fun!" Dianthia was first to respond, her tail waving merrily at the thought of a new game. "What do we get, then?" Now it was Bullet's turn to take on the question, as his daughter's eyes shifted eagerly from Kalion to him.

"You uhh... get..." The hybrid trailed off for a moment, wolvish eyes darting frantically about the building as he tried to come up with something worth the pups' time - in their eyes, anyway. "...you get..."

"I'll take the winner to find human sweets." This came from Honthale, who ignored the startled look he was getting from his uncle. Hon was not exactly known for his patience, especially regarding pups. To Honthale, the idea was simple. Bribe the pups with treats and keep them from repeating what he had said earlier.

While all this was going on, Maladay had dropped from the topic of chosing a game. "Oooo, I wanna see them!" She yipped excitedly, beginning to prance about as well in excitement. "Show me the rainbow lights!"


Magnet

Magnet swished her tail and smiled. "Follow me, Maladay." Magnet smiled, then looked around warily. "Where's Iridia? Does she wanna come, or should we leave her." Magnet's voice was barely a whisper, so only Maladay could hear her. A grin edged at her lips.


Bullet, Maladay, Dianthia, Pistol, Narsinia, Honthale

The smile faded from Maladay's face when their other sister was mentioned, "The humans have her." She whimpered quietly. The falcons had searched high and low for the missing Iridia, but had been unable to locate her after she had been seized by the man. They were still scouting for her when they were able too, but the outlook was grim.

A frantic bark from nearby got the attention of Honthale and Bullet. Desmon was calling for help. The two rushed across the room to respond, while the pups tagged along out of curiousity.


Magnet

Magnet looked at her perplexed. "What? But, when the hell did this happen?" Magnet snarled, where had she been? Magnet shook her head, snarling. "Well let's go find her!" Magnet snapped.
