AFTER MATH

"Oh wow well I hope she comes back soon I want to see her smack you around while the rest of us eat what she brought back" *chuckles* " I miss her she left right after we got home without saying a word" *sighs*

"yeah... she does that don't worry"

"Well thats reassurring" *glances at apache*

*apache chuckles* "she's a big girl, she can handle her self"

"What if she ran into okami's humans and they managed to capture her" *glaring at apache*

"she would have howled for us, also she would have dropped a few of them... ps okami is more likely to come for us"

" ya but if she is alone anything could have happened to her"

"stop worrying will you, i am worried as well but she will be fine, the only danger she faces is her prey escaping her"

*looking to apache* " you maybe right but as long as she is gone I will worry"

"as do i, but i know she is going to be ok, but i always keep and ear to the sky in case she needs me"

"Ya your probably right what should we do till her return" *looking at apache with a curious look*

"recover... that is all we can do, we have both been through alot"

" ya true how do those rope burns feel"

"bit sore but nothing i can't handle. i know i have them for the rest of my life now... how are the chain marks?"

"Well the mark around my neck kinda makes it look like a collar its a little sore" *shows chain mark around neck* " those dogs were trying to mark me as one of them"

"i think they where trying to with both of us... they just knew you would be a problem"

" ya probably I dont know why they think I would be i mean im nice not very aggressive you know im not aggressive "*chuckles*

Ayase huffs in greeting as she enters the clearing that houses Oak Claws dens, unable to speak due to the large elk she was laboriously dragging. Finally she dropped it to the ground.
"One of you mind giving me a hand? I'm exhausted."

Hades jumps up "I'll help apache you stay there and rest some more" picks up the elk and carries to the center of the den before dropping it to the ground

*apache weakly stands letting out a bow to ayase* "welcome back my alpha... i am glad to see that you are ok" *he then sighs as he looks to his ankles spotting the rope burns again and winces as he remembers the pain of being tied up*

Ayase watches Hades drag the kill " well more or less okay." She looks at her right haunch towards a relatively deep puncture wound " You gotta watch those antlers."
She turns toward Apache, touching noeses with him briefly " how are you feeling?

Hades glancing toward ayase " I know and you should get the looked at" hades getting a closer look after dropping the elk

*apache takes a small step back from ayase* "erm, other than the stink and rope burns still kinda weak from the dart but i will live" *he then looks up at ayase with his head still bowed to her*

Ayase flick her tail I Hades face as he inspects the wound " I'm fine darling, if it doesn't heal soon I'll have it looked at." She sniffs Apache and wrinkles her noes.
"Oh wow yeah that stink is a problem. Its good you didn't hunt with me we would be gnawing on dry bones " she laughed. " you know what this means of course don't you?"

Hades staring at ayase "hey i was just being concerned" then looks between apache and ayase " he smells worse than any of us" covers nose
