Strays of the Ruins. (Stray dog/cat RP, open & accepting)

Flak's hackles bristled upright in the overwhelming agitation of the situation. "Look, I'm not risking anyone else getting hurt or killed to go find the pup in this storm." He snapped, his muzzle twitching. "It doesn't matter how used you are to the area, storms like this are unpredictable." He barked. "He's a smart kid- well, he's a street smart kid. He'll be able to take care of himself and find shelter until we can go find him." The brute huffed, shooting a glance at the tunnel exit as another bolt of lightning lit it up.

marie was getting frustrated "hes just a pup he could be dead right now for all you know" she whispered in a harsh voice "ive dealt with these storms id rather i be dead then a pup he may be stubborn and ignorant but all the same hes a pup" she was whispering trying not to alert the others of the situation

Risto's eyes widened at Flak's words. Speechless, he shook his head. " - pup." He muttered. "Doesn't he know that it's a hurricane? Doesn't that pup have any sense at all?" Risto snapped, anger and worry emerging from his words. Letting out a sigh, the feline plopped down on his haunches, staring out at the sky. "What if he's hurt?" the tom wondered out loud, wishing that Gavroche at least knew how to clean a wound. At Marie's protesting, the feline's ears perked. He wasn't sure who to side with, both canines had a good reason. If they did send a search party right now, it would be too dangerous and the wind and rain would confuse the scents of the pup's trail. But if they waited, the pup could already be dead or the scents would be all gone.

Stumped, Risto did not hear Dusty padding up from behind him.

"Um, I heard you guys speaking about Gavroche." Dusty started, feeling uncomfortable as he glanced at all three of them. "I think I might know where the pup went. Before I headed into the cave, I noticed a dark figure heading towards the forest. I thought it was an unlucky piece of prey, so I left it alone. That was when I realized that Gavroche wasn't in the cave when I came in." The brute explained, flicking his tail. "And...and I think I might have caused this by angering Gavroche earlier..."

marie turned suddenly at dustys words "angering gavroche?" she questioned trying to hold back the growl that threatened to overcome her "what do you mean angering gavroche?"

[Jackkdaw]

Flak furrowed his eyebrows in confused agitation. Finally, he let out a low growl. "Then if you're willing to die, go ahead and look for him. But don't say I didn't warn you when you get injured by this storm." He muttered with a snarl, his attention quickly shifting to Dusty and Risto. "The forest?" He repeated, glancing at the she-wolf. "Well that narrows your search. Now get going if you're going to." He ordered, still visibly aggravated by the wolf's stubbornness. He turned his head back to the tan brute, ears forward on his cranium. "What do you mean, Dusty? What happened?" He interrogated, cocking his head in confusion.

    Gavroche scrunched his muzzle, squinting to fight back the tears welling up in his eyes as the rain stung his bleeding shoulder. Nevertheless, he continued onward, ears flattened as the wind threatened to shove him off his three unsteady feet.

Risto felt the fur on his back bristle. So they were correct. Dusty and Gavroche had gotten into an argument.

Dusty tensely sat down, before opening his muzzle to reply. "Well when Flak told us to go hunting, Gavroche wasn't hunting instead he was playing. So I told him to start hunting, but I don't think he got anything in the end. After a while, the pup complained and asked if we could go back, so I agreed since I didn't want Micah's paw to hurt even more...I think I said something else before that, but I don't remember. All I know is that Gavroche said I only cared about Micah before storming back into the cave." Dusty answered, ducking his head embarrassingly. "...and I think that's why Gavroche left."  

"Wait." Risto spoke up, glancing at Flak. "I'll go with Marie. If the pup's wounded, we might as well quickly treat him as soon as possible. If we get trapped or anything, I don't want the pup's wound to get infected." The feline stated, glancing at the wolf before at Flak.

marie paused to wait for risto (ugh i hate when you type a long paragraph and someone else posts lol)

[Jackkdaw]

Flak sat back on his haunches, listening intently to Dusty and nodding. His attention shot over to the cat, who stepped forward and offered to go along. Flak let out a sigh, drawing his ears back. "I don't like the thought of anyone out there, but it would be best if you were to go along. You make a good point." He decided aloud, dipping his head at the cat. "Right, then. No more time to waste. Get going you two. Every second counts." He barked, straightening his posture.


      A single tear trickled down the pup's cheek, quickly disappearing in the rainwater that continued to pour down on the pup. Shaking his head and scolding himself for his sign of weakness, Gavroche forced himself onward with a snarl. The rain swept the blood from his wound down his leg, cleansing it slightly. After more minutes of confused limping, he came across a steady looking tree with a convenient hole in its trunk at the base. Letting out a sigh of relief, the pup clambered up into the dry knot hole, shivering hard.

Staring determinedly at Flak, Risto turned and quickly darted over to his corner and tucked the herbs in his mouth, wrinkling his nose at the disgusting stench of dock. Flicking his tail, he was careful not to attract any more attention to them as he hurried back to the rest, standing beside Marie.

marie paused waiting for risto before quickly exiting  the cave   she stood outside the cave the rain  buffeting her fur. she searched for a scent and finally picked up a faint whiff of gavroche. r"right then this way" she said to risto before she followed it down the cliff and towards the forest. a ways along the beach she found a trail of blood and a fallen palm tree "ohno" she muttered to herself and picked up her pace. following the blood she soon picked up the strong scent of gavroche and followed it. she soon saw a small figure limping quickly. and easily caught up.  she ran in front of gavroche to see a large gash on his should bleeding heavily risto come quick" she howled"what were you thinking!" she growled at the pup "once the others find out your gone everyones going to be in a panick! you couldve gotten yourself killed out here" her voice become softer and less harsh she looked at the pup "cmon were going back youve already gotten yourself hurt and flak isnt to happy that youre gone" she felt a bit sympathetic for the pup knowing what flak would be saying to him afterwards
