Lorak stepped up beside his leader and murmured, "Do as she says Jupiter. Things will go faster this way and we can all get back to camp." His tone wasnt harsh toward the healer. IN fact his voice was very respectful. He only wished that Jupiter would follow Aiano's orders without refusing them the first time around. Lorak turned toward his leader and inspected her. His eyes had returned to normal by now so that any sign of his shade side was gone. Her wounds werent deep or dangerous, just as she said. The he wolf nodded to himself as he murmured toward her carefully, "Glad to see that you are alright Alpha. I dont know what i would do if you came to harm."
The fight seemed to have ended, and the bear shade that Cloudandis had nearly killed fled in fear of Lorak. She knew they would. But she just calmly walked it off like nothing had happened. The others were exhousted, except for Lorak of course. She didn't show exhoustion, just a few wounds from the fight. She didn't groan or make a sound when she walked out to find Rin and the pups. She found one cowering under a bush and nuzzled it till it was sound asleep. Looks like they had missed one. She put the pup on her back, managing not to get any of the blood in her mouth on its fur. She had walked for a bit and found Rin also tending to some pups. She gently lay the sleeping pup at Rin's paws with out a word and walked away.
"You would go on living as you do as of now. It would hurt me more if anyone changed when I died. Especially how the Pack is run," replied Aiano softly. With that she gave both wolves an approving nod, and loped away uneasily, for her right paw pad was ripped open. Not something that would greatly affect her. Sure, she would have loved to see Jupiter walk away and she would h ave loved to thank Lorak for his help, but she had to see to it that her pack had made it through alive. And of course, like any day, all odds were against her and her pack.

okay, then. unfortunately loving an idiot who doesn't love me back. but i'm not falling. i just kind of... am. .
Jupiter flickered his tail annoyingly and walked away. He carried a pile of herbs in his jaw, wishing to bend down and get some water. His mouth was fowl with the taste, but he had to do his job. He bent down to touch a little pup with some marigold, and set him into a nest. He popped a juniper berry into it's mouth and made him swallow. "Oh, stop wrestling around," Jupiter muttered. Impatient as always, his mind was on Aiona.
Cloudandis went to find Jupiter, the ever buissy healer of the pack. He'd probly be ready to claw her muzzle off for getting scratched up like that. She had to walk around for a while to find her though, and when she found Jupiter, she also found Lorak. She just sat calmly in front of Jupiter and waited for him to scoff at her, but also waiting for him to do his job. Lorak looked content, but a little angry. She guessed there had been an argument, but didn't butt in. "So Lorak, how are you?"she asked. Unlike the shades, she didn't fear him for his heritage, or mind it. She liked everyone in the pack for being who they were, even if she never showed it. The bad news about this conversation however, was that she didn't smile and her voice was empty. That's just how she was with everyone. Her eyes couldn't even show emotion either. Not even a light of happiness. Jupiter also seemed rather ruff around the edges. He looked like he'd gotten mixed up in the fight.
Jupiter turned around. Cloudandis. He sighed and tossed her some cobwebs and marigold. Only a few, though. "You can treat yourself." He said simply. "Cobwebs for bleeding, marigold's pulp for infection. I ain't chewing it up." He turned around and licked the poor, injured pup as it whimpered in pain. "Hush." He hissed. Turning around, Jupiter grabbed the stack of herbs and sighed. "Lorak..?" he asked, suddenly. "Are you sure Aiona doesn't need any herbs?"
Cloudandis nodded to Jupiter and padded off to fix her den wich was a mess. She didn't care if Jupiter didn't like her. No one in the pack seemed to. She applied the treatments to her wounds just as Jupiter had told her. Deciding that she needed some air, and wanting to get some food for the pack, she went out to find Aiano, and she still had some left over cob webs. "Aiano, can I and some hunters go and find some food? It looks like everybody could use some after that fight."she knew that the pack needed a full belly in order to recover from the attack. They would need to keep their strength up if they were to survive. "Oh, here are some cobwebs for your paw. I saw you limping."She added as she calmly placed the cab webs over Aiano's wounded and ripped open pad. At least it would stopp any blood from leaking out.
Lorak frowned slightly at the healer. The he wolf felt a bit of hostility coming his way from Jupiter. "Uh..." he started lamely, an ear falling back against his head uncomfortably, "I dont think i have the right to say if she needs herbs or not. Im not exactly qualified to say her wounds need anything. Heck i wouldnt know what herbs to give her." The guardian turned his ghostly eyes back to Jupiter, "I just fight stuff. More of a hack and slash guy than actually thinking to much about things." The wolf gave a soft chuckle of nervousness. He felt a bit stupid, not that he was lacking in intelligence, it was just that he wasnt cut out to deal with Jupiter. Lorak lacked a biting tongue or a calm mind. The only time he was really calm was on the battlefield at his alpha's side. At the present moment he felt like the pack fool.
Jupiter turned away, not wanting Lorak to see him blush. "Uhh.. I'm sorry." He muttered. "I.. just..." He sighed. "You know what? Things aren't.. you know..." He shook his head. "I can't say exactly what I'm trying to get across." He looked at Lorak in the eyes. "Don't be blind. Aiano is a perfect mate for you. She's pretty and strong. The type of wolf that I prefer." He looked at Lorak sincerely, the most serious he had ever been.
oc: Cloudandis saw that Aiano was buissy, and decided to go and see if any one else in the pack needed help or something. She saw Lorak and Jupiter, but strayed away from them. Mabe she should just wait in her den till Alpha gave her a job? Or something else for sure. She trotted off and waited in her den, still thinking. Her mind, her inside self, had become active again. Did Jupiter hate her? But of course he would. Every one in the pack avoided her. The cloudandis in her mind was miserably lonley, and that cloudandis felt that the pack didn't accept her. She started to remember her past.
Cloudandis the pup was watching her mother and father fight. They both wanted custody of her, but they hated eachother. Her father had wanted to mate with a shade:Her mother had wanted to live with her dream boy:and cloudandis was their progect. Suddenly, her father lay motionless on the ground as her mother gave him a final blow with her paws. He was dead. She picked up cloudandis and ran, but she hadn't intercepted a tree branch in her way. Cloudandis flew through the air and landed in a bush as her mother fell into the lake. She tried to swim up, but a vine held her fast. She struggled for an hour before finaly drowning, and the lake ran red. Cloudandis had watched the scene, not feeling anything. They had loved her, but had kept stealing her from one another. They had also been loners. Cloudandis sat alone, and wondered what to do. Suddenly, a wolf came out and saw her dead parents, but the pup was fine, except for being really thin. He took her into Snowpack, but died later, leaving only Aiano to lead, and several others. She and Aiano had been hunters at the time, but no one in the pack, not even Aiano liked her too much. When she and the others were all that was left in the pack, she had been surprised to be appointed deputy, or Beta. But through all that time, she had still never showed happyness, pain, fear, anger...nothing.
As Cloudandis finished remembering, the cloudandis in her mind was crying with agony. No one had ever liked her. Why should she be surprised? No one ever knew the real her. The Cloudandis inside. They only knew and emotionless, heartless version of her.The real her was emotional, very well expressioned, and lovable. But she would never introduce them to that side of her, ever.
She went outside again, forgetting Jupiter's scorn towards her, and walked over to Lorak. Surly he would have something, a job from Alpha, that she could do?
