After that little episode with Kale Bini had wandered farther from the packs trail of travel. She was rather depressed about the whole thing. What had gotten into her? Her tail dropped and her paws dragged, she was trying to get over feeling poorly about the meeting.
To put the frosting on the cake, she was hungry.
Bini wasn't having the best of days, and probably she just needed to sleep so that she'd get over it. But this wasn't a sollution that entered her mind, and after a moment she let her tail lift a little and her ears perk.
She could put on a happy face!
Her blue gaze flicked over a small waterbuck, it was a young one and it must have straggled behind. She wasn't sure, but she thought that young ones didn't usually get left behind. "Baby having a bad day, too?" She asked, though she didn't expect it to answer her.
And that was when she saw that it was trailing blood, and it must have been in a lot of pain. She did not see the arrow on it's other side, or smell the two-leggers in the air.
This was quickly turning into a dangerous situation.

Clinging to an old fashion bow in his hand, Koehn of the Kwuba tribe, stalked forward on his kill. He and his partner needed something to feed off of, and something their small tribe would manage to be able to eat. This small waterbuck would do just nicely.
But when the sight of the wild dog came into sight, Koehn hunched down low. "Luk et tat!" He whispered harshly to his partner, reaching for another arrow. "Et be gittin' neer owr meel!"

Ezho moved swiftly behind the other, he had to catch up since he'd fallen behind, to see if any other of the beasts were easy prey. They had no such luck, though. He was a tall, dark skinned man. He was clothed in barely nothing, but you couldn't blame him, considering the heat. His head was shaved clean and no hair grew on his face, though he wasn't young. The bridge of his nose was pierced through with a rather gruesome looking, thin bone. He heard his companions words right as the wild dog came into view.
"mbwa mwituke." He said more to himself than to him. A female. If he thought right their little band of persons that they called a 'tribe' had about three domesticated dogs. Three male dogs. "Dun shoo'" He ordered in a whisper. "Work on tha'!" He nodded to the beast they'd been tracking. It was too weak to run any farhter, anyways.
Bini was quite shocked when she spotted the two leggers, she'd never seen them before. She didnt move, her hackles were raised and her eyes were wide. Did she run away?

"Wat dew yew meen dun shoo'?!" Koehn asked, or rather growled angrilly. "Et be gonna eet owr meel!" He growled again; however he lowered his arrow, stalking over to the fallen waterbuck. "Et es yeer tiem." he whispered quietly to the calf, petting it before putting it out of it's misery. What was something about this tribe, was they were one's for spiritual beings. Never let one suffer for more than it hsould. And always use every part of the creature destroyed. It was just like the American Natives would do.

He ignored his partner's complaining, slowly bringing from his hip-pounce a long, wooden tube. He placed something into the end and in the same end he pressed his lips to it. Taking careful am he blew a burst of air, sending a needle flying at Bini.
The wild dog had too little time to realize what was going on, and just as she was backing away something sharp slashed into her right shoulder. She yelped and began to make a fuss, nipping at the spot. She could see a little blood, and a bird-feather that was bright red. Like her blood! Oh no! She didn't realize two legs were this bad!
She only had time to realize the man was coming toward her before the world began to get blury, and she couldn't find her footing. She suddenly collapsed, dust fluttering around her body.
"Thar, thar." He murmered quietly as he leaned down and hoisted the wild dog over his shoulder. "Can yeh carry tha' by yerself, Koehn?" Ezho asked, brows raising as if he'd add 'if you can't you're rather weak'.

"Wat dew yew theynk I am? tew or sumthin'?" He glared at Ezho, lifting the small calf onto his shoulders just like the other male had done with the wild dog. "Wat aer yew plennin' on dewin wit hur?" He grumbled slightly. They had enough dogs at the moment, and this one was two old to be trained to hunt. He trotted up to the other male, walking next to him. He eyes flickered over the unconscious dog. "Worfless" he muttered quietly.

Ezho glanced to his companion, offering a small chuckle. Perhaps Koehn just didn't think ahead, when it came to matters like the tribe. At least he was a wonderful hunter. And a good companion, regardless. "Eh, worth nuttin' says you. Bu' worth a whole lo' says me." He chuckled more at this. The tribe would be expanding soon, little by little. Jini and Kuza'Cheka were going to be having little ones soon. There were three male hunters, and that was why they had the three does. But the small boys would be coming to age soon, and that would mean better hunting. The cheif hopefully would understand Ezho's reasoning for bringing the female back.

Koehn made a small 'hmph' noise. "Yew an' yeer worf stuff." He grinned slightly. "Wat yew plenning on dewin' tho? Chee be a Wyld dawg yew no.." He said to him. "I jest dunt git yew somftiem." But nonetheless, it didn't bother Koehn so much. He and Ezho were buds, and if Ez had a notion for something, usually it was for a good reason...He hoped.

Ezho laughed out right this time. "E'n the most wild of 'em can be whipped ter ob'dience." He said, matter of factly. "She'll be good fer us, in the end." He shifted her a little, he could feel her breathing very softly. They'd be getting back to the place they'd set up 'village' very soon.

Koehn scoffed. "Es lonng est yew be dewin the whuppin ento obedense ten I dew not caer." He said to him, looking before him, shifting the weight of the carcass on his shoulder. 'Home' was just over the horizon. Then, while he would help prepare the meals and help with the other dogs, Ez could go do whatever with his new female.

It took them another five minutes to get to their lodging, and Ez parted ways with Koe to bring his capture to his teepee. Teepees were much more easy to root up and move with than built structures, like mud, sticks and grass. Jini might not be too happy at first, having the extra company along with her fat stomach and Nyuki'Mshale, their dog. It was a small teepee, after all.
Ez blinked and slowly set down Bini, glad that Nyuki wasn't around. He knew the intruder wouldn't hold well with the old beast.

As Ez had entered the teepeed structure, a small form in the corner of the home had awoken from it's slumber. Bright green eyes settled on the form of his master (or not his imparticular, just a male), as his tail thumped on the ground. It stopped, however, as the wild dog was left at the feet. What was up with this thing being here?
If you hadn't guessed, Ausoli was one to filter through each teepee, finding one more comfortable then the previous. This week's he settled at Ez's place! Nice cozy spot in the corner with little table scraps everynow and them. Mm he liked this. But, who was this?
Ausoli barked once, growling at the wild's form. "Yoo, wat arre yoo doin' heer!" He barked, his voice small, weakish like a kid. He was probably no where near adulthood, adolescence perhaps?, but he tried to act like it.

Ez blinked and glanced up, finally noticing the dog. "Yeh behave, yeh hear?" He growled out, slipping away to find someone else.
Bini groaned as her eyes peaked open just slightly, Her head hurt and her whole body felt heavy. She heard more words, foreign to her... and then a faint voice of another dog like creature. The accent was very odd.
Wait! She'd been... her head snapped up, but it probably wasn't the best move. She let out a little yelp and shut her eyes to keep the world from spinning so much, and after a moment she looked slowly around. They landed on the other dog, and she regarded him with confusion. "Where am I.." She breathed, more to herself than to the other
Nyuki had been seated a little ways off, though he hadn't gone to greet his master. He'd seen the beast on his shoulder, and realized it was a dog. Though it was one of those barbarian beasts.
He was almost completely black in color, though the tip of his tail was a butter yellow color. This his name was earned. Well, that and his horrid temper and his need to dominate the other two dogs about. He was an older creature, wiser, and certainly battle scared. He rose slowly, though didn't go toward the teepee just yet. He was also aware the little runt was in there.

Ausi looked up at Ez, blinking in curiousity at what he said. His head tilted, yipping towards the human before turning back to the now awakening female. He whined, growling slightly as it spoke. "Hoo arre yoo?" He said with a light snarl, remebering how Nyuki had acted, as well as the other dog on the premises.
His head then turned to towards the older male, before he backed away from the wild dog. "Wat es Chee?" He asked him. Towards the other domesticate dog, his voice was that of a submissive tone. No use fighting this one, when you know you were not gonna win. "Ah meen..chee es diifeerent." He said, green eyes eyeing the female.

Nyuki smirked, shifting and sitting down at the entrance. His cold, grey eyes were on Bini, he didn't bother watching Ausoli. "Wild." He said simply in a gruff woof. Her build was different from theirs. Lankier, larger ears... even her tail looked a bit bushier. Nyuki's left ear flicked a little, and his eyes darted so he could see to the left. No, Ez wasn't coming back.
This was not Miremba and Ouro. This was not the group she was traveling with. Her blue eyes dodged around, still in confusion. Why hadn't the pup answered where she was? "Bini.. is my name..." She mumbled out, her gaze now studying the larger male. It flicked away though, he made her nervous. Her body was trembling and she stayed laying, tail slightly tucked. This was the two-leg's den?
