Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dooney's ears perked at the quiet talk going on beyond his alleyway. He was laying, back to the wall, on his side, when amber eyes opened. Nautica's gone.. His ears lay flat against the back of his head, releasing a slow grumbling growl. Nobody tells me anything anymore..

He sat up, shaking out his neck before stretching idly, tail pointing out behind him as he did so. He wondered whether he should leave the alleyway and track his younger. .. It certainly was like Runtly to be gone so long, but Nautica.. Well.

He yawned, canines gleaming in low filtered light. He'd wait awhile longer. He could not ascertain how far away the conversation was going on, but it wasn't close enough for him to understand, and even if it was, he wasn't the sort to eaves drop.

His ears perked again at the feline scream- the frequency alone was enough to signal danger. He stood, jogging out of the alley way, past Nautica and Bai without so much as a greeting, heading toward the woods where Runtly was foraging. The second scream- the croak for help- turned him sharp on his heel, heading toward an old dried up riverbed. Paws were quiet against pine needle and dead leaves, but the pebbly riverbed heralded his entrance.

He knelt beside the other, paw outstretched as if to pat him, or pick him up- but he wasn't sure which part of him was hurt..

Nautica sighed relieved at seeing runtly, reaching out his hand and brushing the dirt out of his hair like Bai had done. He shook his head at the pup, relieved that he was back, and had food with him. Dooney should be glad when they got back, hopefully their brother was still sleeping. "We were getting worried. What took you so long?"

The spotted great dane, looked over his shoulder for a moment, seeing the retreating figure of Dooney heading towards the forest. He perked his ears up curious at what could get their brother to stir. But again, he was distracted as Bai was saying her goodbyes.He looked up at Bai, and waved goodbye to her, "Bye Bai, we'll see you later."

He watched her for a moment before turning his attention back to Runtly, looking over the dirt, and leaves in Runtly's fur and hair. "You look like you fell into a hole. Are you okay?" He smiled and ruffled the pup's hair, "So what did you find Runtly?"

Blackeye stuck his head out of the window of his apartment. Eye's blinking in the light Blackeye looked around his long ears hanging down. Looking down he spoted Runty and Nautica talking and Bai walking towards her house.
"Hey Runt" Blackeye called down as he lit his cigaret, "hey Nautica did either of you just here a scream"
Blackeye took a pull of his cigaret and let the smoke fill his lungs and the nicotine start to flow through him in a wave. Letting the smoke out Blackeye gave a small sigh of contentment.

((Sorry ^^; . I'm used to small text for some reason... I don't know why considering that I have bad eyesight redface ))

The great dane's body stiffened at the mention of a human city. He bit the inside of his lip, Dooney's reaction to this request coming to his mind. He blinked and was inwardly relieved as Runtly became distracted, he looked down the street and nodded.

He glanced at Blackeye for a moment, "Uhm... Yeah. Dooney went to go check it out..." He looked down to runtly, "We better go see if he needs help."

Dooney's nose twitched as he took in scent in short bursts, leaning over to further inspect his wounds. He shook his head slowly back and forth, gingerly sliding his hand beneath the cat-creature's neck to lift his face upward, his tail wagging back and forth, low, stiff movements- not to signify happiness, but to signify acceptance.

"Runtly-" He called afterward the younger one, frowning. He didn't think that Runtly could handle carrying him, even though the youngest was probably more than strong enough. "Have Nautica bring water."

Nautica had ran after Runtly, but of course was slower, not having the grace his other brothers had for avoiding tree branches. After a few close calls, he finally thought he got the hang of it, running that is. He stopped as Runtly started running back towards him, he gave gave a perplexed look before slowing down to stop next to Runtly.

"Yeah sure... I know there's a stream near here." He went to leave and paused for a moment, "Runtly, just relax here okay." He gave a grim smile before starting to run again to get water.

Coming to the stream Nautica blinked as he realized he didn't have anything to carry it with. He looked up and down, and smiled as he jumped over some stones, slipping with his foot getting drenched. But he grabbed what he had seen, an empty water bottle, most likely from a camper that got away. He filled the bottle up, and was soon running again. Passing Runtly, he ran towards Dooney, stopping and panting, holding out the water.

He took a few deep breaths before he took a look at the cat, "Oh my... What happened to him?"

((gah... I feel like I'm not playing him correctly.))

[[Well. Nautica's incredibly smart about everything. So he probably wouldn't be wondering what was making him sneeze, and would probably be able to figure out what happened to Kaiser's character after a few seconds. Other than the being insanely smart part, you've got everything down pat. ^_^]]

Runtly nodded, and watched what was going on from his place. One ear come up, and the kid decided to jog back home, to Bai. He wanted to see if she knew about howling before asking Nautica's second opinion.

This whole ordeal with the cat was making him a little self-concious, and Runtly felt a little more comfortable around Bai than his brothers.
