Teegan splashed through the waves as she reared up on her hind legs then dropping them into the shallows causing a large splash to lash out around her, the fae let out a small chuckle as she watched the others dip their tongues into the water and drag them out with disgust. A chuckle escaped her maw as she turned towards them "Yeah you best not drink this water, its pretty salty" she muttered turning and looking towards the small waterfall that looked fresh and not salty "Maybe try that small pond near the waterfall" she shrugged her gaze on the others as she watched the small mutt struggle getting her pups down, but Dusty had decided to pad over and help her. Her gaze then went from Micah to Viccie and Xion then lastly she looked at Flak as she flicked her tail. The female shepherd turned and let out a yip as she plunged through the sea causing many specks of water to splash up. It reminded her of her past running through the waves chasing her human or fetching her ball, a small smile grew across her muzzle.


Micah turned her head to look at Dusty as he spoke to the small pup then padded over towards the small mutt who was trying to get her pups from the cliff. A sigh then escaped her maw as she let out a small whimper thinking of her past, her ears slightly dropped as she lifted her head from her paws and lifted to her paws. Letting out a small bark as she hit the send she padded towards the sea. The waves rippled up the golden sand and hit against her legs as the cold liquid sent a shiver down her spine. She looked at the others and let out a smile as they all seemed to be having fun. Her attention turned back onto where she was going as she slowly padded along the sand, her paws prints being left in the sand behind her.

"yes please and thank you!" cara yapped hurriedly as she tried to pick up enought speed to make the leap. when she was as far as she could go without hitting the water she leapt just barely getting on the cliff and scrambling with her hind legs to get up. she crooned to her pups as they yipped. they were terrified. she took the biggest pup, a male, in her jaws setting him down for a second to talk to dusty. "um it would be a big help if you could just take this one here" she said as she guestured to the other female then she picked up the male again and took a running start pushing off with her hind legs and landing on the sand with a soft thud. she set the pup down next to his sister. then she got ready to make the trip again.


marie watched the dogs as they frolicked on the beach and laughed as some tried to drink the ocean water. her attention turned to the small mutt who was transporting her pups from the cliff to the beach with the help of another dog. she turned and located the path that would lead her to the shore she located the dog helping the small mutt and decided to say hello. he seemed to be the only one offering to help the mutt that she had seen. "hello" she said to him

Flak eyed his small, odd pack as he trotted over to some rocks far up from the water where it was safe to hunt. Clambering up the uneven pilings of stones,he kept his nose to their moist surface, sniffing for anything edible. Farther up ahead, the waves crashed against the unsafe rocks that were at the ocean's mercy. Flak payed no mind, knowing as long as he was far back on the long row of rocks, he was safe.



 Gavroche shook his head as a wave broke atop it. He eyed Dusty, who was farther out until the male returned. Gav listened to him as he spoke then darted off to help Cara. With a mischievous grin, the pup turned towards the deeper water, disregarding the male's stern warning. Adventure nipping at his heels, he leaped farther out until his paws were unable to touch the sandy bottom. He giggled a bit as he swam about and the waves flipped him. Not an ounce of fear was present as the pup entertained himself with the powerful waves.

marie watched as the older pup swam out to deeper water, not waiting for the males replie to her greeting she said "is that pup supposed to be out there? i can go get him if you would like" she offered rolling over exposing her stomach to show that she wasnt a threat.

[OreoHeroz]

Dusty nodded, backing up just like what the mutt had did. He hurried forward, stretching his forepaws out as they scraped against the edge of the cliff. Pulling himself up, and grabbed the female pup, ignoring its cries of terror as it squirmed. "I'm trying to help you." Dusty muttered, ready to drop onto the sand. As he tensed, the same wolf emerged from the waterfall, flicking her ear.

"Hello." The wolf greeted towards Dusty.

"Aww, c'mon. You again?" He mumbled under his breath. But she didn't seem vicious or anything, probably just curious of the group. He decided to be polite, they wouldn't come across another wolf like this. "Hey." He replied, turning around to launch himself down. But the wolf interrupted his concentration before he could move.

"Is that pup supposed to be out there? I can go get him if you like." The wolf gestured towards something in the waves, flipping over onto her back.

"What pup? If you're talking about Gavroche, he's fine. I told him to stay in the shallows." Dusty reassured her, glancing at the pup just to be sure. His eyes widened as he noticed that Gav was waddling deeper into the waves, his tiny body hardly visible as the water crashed over his head. "The stars'!" Dusty exclaimed. "Here!" Gently thrusting the crying pup into the wolf's reach, Dusty launch himself down and began to sprint over to the pup, calling out his name.

"Gav! Gavroche, get back here!" Dusty snarled, throwing himself into the waves. Irritation for the pup's mischievous adventures nagged at him as he kicked out his legs, splashing water at his sides. He wasn't sure what was lurking in these waves, but he pressed onward, flicking his paws towards Gavroche. Dusty glanced at the horizon. The sun was rising slowly, which meant the high-tide was coming soon.

Growling with annoyance, Dusty held his head higher in attempt to get the water out of his nose. As he reached the pup, he was about to stretch out to snag his scuff when a wave roared and crashed over him, separating him from the pup. "Uggggh." Dusty gurgled as he sucked up a mouthful of salty water. Spluttering, he struggled up and poked his head out of the waves, seeking the waves for any sign of the pup. He wasn't sure if Gavroche had disappeared under the waters from the sudden wave.


Muttering, Risto poked his head into the grass, his tail-tip twitching. "Curse this place." He muttered. "Don't they have herbs here?" Sighing, he plopped down on his haunches sulkily, his ear twitching as he heard the waves crashing nearby. He wasn't about to join the others just to have "fun" on the shore. Deciding that it was no use just pouting here for the herbs, he rose to his paws, stretched, and padded out of the trees. The thin touch of grass soon disappeared, the sandy shore replacing it as his paws sunk into the sand.

As he seated himself on a flat rock, he watched as Dusty interacted with the annoying mutt, offering to help her with her pups. He let out a quiet grunt, glancing around. Flak was scouting along the rocks, while Micah padded along the shore and Teegan splashed into the waves like a young pup.

Stretching out on the rock, Risto rested his head on his forepaws, his tail curling in amusement as he watched the pup head deeper into the waves. He turned away, resting his focus on Dusty and Cara, but he froze. His head snapped back to Gavroche and alarm rippled through him. Didn't Flak announce that they stay in the shallows? He sat up, whipping his head in all direction. Nobody seemed to notice the pup's action.

As the feline slipped down from the rock, heading towards the pup, lunging for the water as he splashed into it. He shook his head as water seeped into his ear. He was useless at swimming, but his goal was getting Gavroche back to the shore, wasn't it?

He surprised himself as he bobbled along the waters towards the pup. "Am I that fish brained to actually try to help that pup?" He muttered to himself, knowing that he and the pup weren't on good terms with each other. He knew that Dusty was already swimming strongly towards Gavroche, but it would be best to have someone else there to help you. Besides, the rest of the group seemed busy hunting, rather than noticing the pup and going over to rescue him.

His thoughts were erased as he gulped down seawater, spitting it out. As he did, another distraction hovered over him as a wave crashed down, pushing him deeper into the water. Squirming in the water, he thrashed his paws up, gasping the air as he splashed upward. He surveyed the area, keeping an eye on the pup as he kicked towards him. Risto quickly glanced at Dusty. The brute seemed lost for a moment, staring everywhere for any sign of the pup.

"Gavroche?" Risto called, wondering where he was.

[Jackkdaw]

Gavroche giggled quietly to himself as another wave flipped him over. Bursting through the surface, he shook his head, legs pumping to tred water. His tongue dangled from his mouth happily as he was very much amused with himself. Suddenly, a familiar voice made him snap his head around, the grin immediately wiping from his maw. He flattened his ears when he noticed Dusty and Risto, knowing instantly that a scolding lecture would quickly follow now that they'd found him. Letting out a groan, he paddled towards them, the waves pushing him along and helping his momentum until one surged him right into Risto' side, knocking the cat off his feet. Once Gavroche popped his head back up, he giggled at the unintentional collision and relaxed, letting another wave carry him right into Dusty. Scrambling around to face him, he was able to barely touch the bottom with his hind paws now. He flashed a large grin at the male which slowly faded upon noticing his unamused expression. "Heh. Hiya." Gavroche yipped quietly, using his front paws to prop himself up against Dusty's chest.



    Flak raised his head, perking his large ears forward at Dusty's alarmed cry for Gavroche. Letting out a huff, he rolled his eyes and leaped off the dark rock into the sand. "Doesn't that damned pup ever listen?" He grumbled to himself as he trotted quickly over to the water to offer any assistance. Standing ankle Derp in the cold surf, his eyes raked the whitecaps for the tiny hold and brown pup. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he saw Risto get barreled off his feet by the pup's body as a wave swept him into the feline, but he relaxed to see the pup was okay and waited there for Dusty to bring him out.

marie stood there stunned as the male thrust the pup towards her taking it she jumped back onto the sand setting it down, as the samll mutt wandered over with the last pup. "wheres dusty gone? " the mutt asked not even noticing the fact that she didnt know this wolf. "he went to go get that pup who wandered into deeper water" marie replied guesturing to the pup. she then turned and trotted away towards the dog the mutt had called dusty. "do you want some help?" she called over the wind.



cara didnt notice when dusty left because she had her back turned towards her last pup. as dusty left and the wolf jumped down she calmed her pup and got ready to jump. she leapt down and thats when she noticed that dusty want there. she asked the wolf where he was, and then looked toweards the ocean watching risto and dusty try to reach the pup. she then turne dher attention back to the wolf who was trotting towards dusty and risto

[OreoHeroz]

Dusty's frown deepened as he stared disappointingly at Gavroche. "Are you okay?" He demanded, snatching the pup's scuff none too gently and carrying him over to the sandy shore. "I thought you knew better than to go deeper into the waves when Flak told you not to." Dusty added, releasing his grip from his scuff and placing the pup on the shore. He glanced around, seeing that Risto was stalking over to them, his tail held out stiffly from behind him and his pelt soaked with water. The brute couldn't help himself but let out an amused chuckle. Dusty noticed Flak standing in the shallows, probably waiting to either talk to them or something. Shrugging, Dusty pushed the pup closer to Flak, his ear twitching as he waited for the pup or Flak to speak. 

[Jackkdaw]

    Gavroche wrinkled his muzzle, glaring downwards as Dusty picked him up out of the water. Recollecting himself as the male dropped him on shore, he shook out his drenched coat just as Dusty scooted him closer to Flak, who glared down at him disapprovingly. "You're no fun." Gavroche mumbled, glaring at Dusty over his shoulder. He hated correction and authority altogether. Flattening his ears, he stared sheepishly up at Flak, just waiting for the scolding.



   Tail raised, Flak raised an unamused eyebrow at the pup, standing in front of him as Dusty shoved him towards him. He glanced up at the tan brute and nodded, then glared down at the pup. "The Hell do you think you were doing, half-pint?" He started. "Didn't I specifically tell you NOT to go far out. You could've drowned if it weren't for Dusty, here, you insubordinate little runt.." He growled at the pup's disobedience, knowing there was no room for it in this harsh environment. "Dusty, I want you to keep a close watch on him. Because clearly he's hard at hearing." Flak growled again, turning around and leaving them there to go back to his hunting amongst the nearby rocks.


Gavroche rolled his eyes at Flak's scolding, mouthing his words in a mimicking expression. Once he had left, Gavroche wrinkled his nose again, staring after him. Turning around, he stared up at Dusty and grinned innocently, wagging his tail a bitt in mischievous nervousness.

[OreoHeroz]

Dusty let out a tiny sigh as he stared at the pup. "Well, I suppose I'll have to do just that--keep an eye on you." He muttered, flopping down on his haunches. "Just remember, in the future, please listen to Flak's order--or any adult's order correctly." Dusty told Gavroche, rising to his paws and shaking his pelt out. "Now that's covered--we might as well go hunt for something...on the shore." Dusty barked, gesturing towards the shore. "Show me your hunting skills." He wanted the pup and him as well to forget about the incident and have some safe fun now.
