                Flak's demeanor turned more serious as she mentioned Dusty, and he lowered his eyebrows in a hidden expression of disgust. "Ah, still around, is he?" He muttered with a huff, glaring at the ground for a moment in an attempt to not let the growl escape from his throat. "I was hoping he wouldn't come back after getting the herbs but, whatever." He murmured the first part under his breath, then returned his focus back at the lightly pigmented female. "Anyway, name's Flak. You're more than welcome to stick around with Teegan and I if you want." He added quickly in an attempt to change the subject. "I'd say that pup could come along, too, if he hadn't already ran off." He glanced around, searching for the tiny pup before looking back over at the white shepherd. "And, I gueessss the dumb- I mean- the cat's with us too. Teegan seems to have taken a fancy to the little thing." Flak cleared his throat. "Anywaaayss, the more in a group the safer it is around here." He remarked, purposely not mentioning Dusty.

Her ears perked as the brute spoke about Dusty still being around "Yeah he's still around, he took the pup out to hunt" she muttered looking at him then perking her ears as he spoke again. "Nice to meet you Flak, well the names Micah" she smiled "I would love to stay with you guys" she muttered then listening to what he had to say about Teegan taking a fancy to the cat as she let out a small chuckle "No i doubt she has taken a fancy, more along the lines of being friendly" she stopped for a minute "I mean if there was tension between everyone it wouldn't really be a group" she sighed. "Anyways, the more in a group the safer it is around here" the brute remarked. She noticed he hadn't mentioned Dusty much, she could feel the tension between the two even though the brown brute wasn't here. "Yeah a lot safer, especially with those beasts lurking around" she muttered about the mutants.

        Flak perked his shepherd-like ears forward, listening to the female as she spoke. While he usually would have sat back comfortably on his haunches, he now tried to avoid much movement at all; it was just too physically painful. He shifted his weight from one foreleg to the other and chuckled lightly at Micah's last remark. "especially with those beasts lurking around," he repeated, putting emphasis on the first word. "Trust me, they're not easy to fight alone. Had to mess with them since the war started- before I met Teegan, anyway. Which just means that since we could be the only normal creatures around here, we should stick together. I mean, who knows when you're gonna find another normal dog or cat." He shrugged, his wolfish tail horizontal with the ground and slowly swaying.

Micah smiled as the brute began to chuckle, her remark on the beast seemed to slightly amuse him as she listened to him speak. "Yeah, i found that out" she rolled her eyes on about the beasts "The easiest thing to do is tease them, but even then your in for trouble" she muttered knowing how powerful the beasts actually were. "So how long have you and Teegan been in the small group, before everyone else joined?" she asked curiously with her white head slightly titled.

Risto let his shoulders sag as he slouched down. He let out a grunt as Teegan continued on about being a fighter. As she finished her sentence, Risto noticed that her attention was fixed on something, otherwise than him or the conversation. As he glanced her way, he saw that she was watching Flak pad over to Micah. Teegan let out a sigh, before turning her attention back to Risto. As he frowned, her tongue hung out from one side of her mouth as her tail wagged. A little interested, Risto wondered if any female dog had feelings for the black brute.

I would think not, Risto softly snorted as his tail curled near his paws. But he couldn't help but think whether Teegan had any interest for Flak. Shaking his head, he curved his claws. You shouldn't be thinking of such things, Risto scolded himself. He didn't understand why he was acting like this, but he casually shrugged it off. Suddenly feeling a little tired, he let a yawn escaped his mouth as he flicked his ears towards Teegan.

"I hope you don't mind," he mewed, arching his back into a stretch. "But I think I'll get some shut-eye for a while." Glancing at Flak, he curled into a comfortable position and watched Teegan through slits.

                The mutt laughed some more at Micah's words, his laughing quickly cut short by the stabbing pain it caused in his injured chest. "Yeah, when it gets boring it's pretty fun to tease 'em. They're dumb as a sack of garbage. You've just gotta know a quick way out when you do tease 'em." He smiled a bit, his tail wagging more. Flak tilted his head, his ears flicked forward to catch the rest of Micah's sentence. "Oh, me and Teegan were only traveling for a couple days or so before we got into trouble with those mutants in the alley where we met all of you guys." He let out a huff, glancing up at the fae.

Feeling a little impatient, Dusty shrugged. "Sure. My human fed me pizza whenever he ate it." Dusty replied, feeling a little uncomfortable as he spoke about his owner. 'Just don't eat so much of it; the others might want some as well." Dusty added as he padded around. As he scooped up the rat he had killed, he wondered whether if the pup caught anymore rats for them. He felt a little bad for not acknowledging Gavroche's kill, so he asked, "Have you caught anything else?"

Her ears perked as she heard the tom cat speak, she lowered her head to face him. Her ears twitched whilst he spoke, once he was finished she drew her tongue back into her mouth, then breathed in and replied "Oh no i don't mind" she muttered then adding "Night" as she padded up to a near by dumpster and jumped up, allowing the feline to get some shut eye. Her gaze locked onto the two dogs in the distance as she let out a huff. Plopping her head on her paws, the only movement she made was her body rising then lowering as she breathed.

Micahs white ears flicked around as the brute spoke again "Yeah it does get tiring though when the fight has lasted for a while" she muttered letting out a sigh, she didn't really enjoy fighting she was more of the playful type. He then went on telling her about how him and Teegan had only been a two dog group for a short time as she nodded "Ah i see, so not long then" she muttered looking at him, she was still placed on her hunches but stopped running her paw through the puddle.

       Flak shook his head, motioning a 'no.' "Nope. Not long at all." He replied with a subtle chuckle, glancing over at Teegan who had made her way to rest near a dumpster. He decided to at last force himself to sit down. Wincing in pain, he let out a quiet growl as he lowered himself slowly to his haunches, glancing at his side to be sure the herbs hadn't come off. "How about you?" Flak started, lowering his eyebrows, trying to ignore the nagging pain in his chest and sides. "You always been alone? I mean- since the war and everything."




                      


 

          The mix breed puppy eyed the human food curiously, bending down to take in some more whiffs of it. "Hmm. It smells alright." Gavroche muttered aloud, giving the slice a brisk lick. He jerked his head back in surprise at the stringy cheese that had seemed to slide off the pizza and onto his tongue, wrinkling his nose. "Hehe, this is weird." He giggled, licking the pizza some more. By the time he had realized Dusty had instructed him not to eat much of the pizza, half of the slice was already bitten off and in his mouth, his cheeks full of the cheesy human food. "Oh-" his words were muffled by the large amount of food that was stuffed in his small mouth. "Oops-" Gavroche forced a large swallow and glanced down at the slice, all remaining now being the stale crust. "Hehe... they can have the rest..." He giggled awkwardly, slowly sliding the crust towards Dusty. His floppy ears flicked forward as the male finally made a comment of some sort of his hunting. The pup hopped up enthusiastically, his tail wagging rapidly, making his hind end wiggle with it. "Yeah! One time, I found a rabbit! 'An I caught it, but then one of those, bloody mutant things came 'an I had ta leave it. Then another time I stole a bird from one of them mutants." Gav laughed a bit at the memory. "Oh! And another time, I caught a snake. Didn't taste very good, though." He paused momentarily to take a breath from his rapid fire sentences. "Oh yeah! 'An one time I caught my own bird! I usually just stick to gettin' the rats, though. There's so many of 'em." He finally stopped talking and stood there with a stupid grin on his face, smiling up at Dusty.

Teegans eyes shot open as she heard the sound of rubble being scattered around, her eyes locked on the opening to the alley, her eyes narrowing but all that passed was a shadow and it didn't seem to bother them. She guessed it would be a mutant and it could attack anytime, not wanting to frighten the others by its presence she decided she would go and check it out herself, if it did come for a fight Flak wouldn't have a chance as he was quite badly injured. She let out a sigh and jumped down from the dumpster then shaking her head as she walked over to Flak and Micah.
"I'm just going to check something out" she muttered walking out the small alley with her neck slightly craned as she let out a sigh, her tail didn't wag or anything as she slowly walked out the alley and turning left, the way the shadow went. The size of the shadow gave her the idea it was a mutant along with the after scent, she looked forward to spot a large shadow bounding away from the group as she let out a snarl and decided to follow it.

The white fae looked at the black brute as he replied about it not being very long as she gave a smile then her ears flicked as he spoke again asking he rif she had bee alone since the war "Yeah, iv'e been alone since the war" she muttered "I kinda hid out in an old museum, but had to leave as mutants found it a good, large place to say" she sighed, her tail continued to wag as she looked at Flak waiting to see if he had a reply. She could see he was in pain but didn't want to mention it in case he was trying to forget about it. he heard a thud and looked over as Teegan wondered over, then telling them she was going to check something out. By the was the fae left she could tell it was something they hadn't spotted, the shepherd put her head down as she walked out Micahs ears slightly lowered, then she slowly raised them as she looked at Flak.
