"Ya, could you grab my notebook from my bag?" Faux finished Calla's bandage and gathered her mess she had created.
Dusty nodded and placed a hoof on Dark's shoulder. "No need to apologize partner. You did what you had to, for the sake of your friends." Dusty smiled warmly to Dark.
"Thanks", dark said, happily, to dusty as he went to get faux's notebook, his eye turning reddish now.
Calla rested her head on her paws, "I'll be fine once I'm with my pack again." she looked at the sky and hoped her pack and parents were ok. With her shoulder now bandaged she stood, "I'm gonna go patrol and look for the others." she trotted off into the forest towards the third camp without another word.
Dusty watched as Calla left to check the others. "Ms. Faux, ah'm not to sure with letting Ms. Calla go off on her own like that." Dusty looked to Faux with worry.
"I can't do anything about it but I completey agree." She took the book from Dark, "Thanx Dark!" Then began to flip through till she came to the right page. "And also in my bag." she replied to Dark
Dusty stood up and walked over to Faux. "Whatcha looking at Ms. Faux?" Dusty was puzzled by all the notes and drawings on the pages.
"Just my notes, I try yo keep track of all I've done medical, kinda like a record book." Faux finished on one page then to the next. This page was full of notes, on every inch of the page was covered. "I've had this thing since I first moved out which was 4 years now." Faux turned one more page and a ripping sound was heard. Faux cursed underher breath and took the torn page and put it in the back with the other torn pages.
"Hang on." Dusty said to Faux as he walked back to the tent he had stored the bodies in. He returned a few minutes later with a journal, the first 4 pages were torn out, but it was un-used. "Here you go Ms. Faux, you can start to use this one if you'd like." Dusty held up the book smiling to Faux.
Calla walked along a dirt path, her nose to the ground smelling for the path of her pack. She came to the third clearing and saw that it was deserted. The trail was still new but it was all over the place, Luck? Rio? Anyone? Calla send a mental message hoping for an answer. Calla! Thank goodness you ok, we're back at the first camp. Calla let go of the breath se was holding and headed back to the others.
"Thanks Dusty!" Faux smiled happily and flipped to the front page and scribbled down the words 'Book Two'. "I've never had a nice notebook like this before." She gave Dusty a friendly hug and said thanks again
Dusty was taken back by the hug. He never really had anypony but his grandma hug him before. Dusty blushed slightly and cleared his throat. "Well ah'm just glad to help Ms. Faux. Its important to me to do all ah can for everypony." Dusty stumbled through his words.
Faux giggled and put the books away for now. "We should head back to meet the others" just as she said that Calla barked and took off again towards the first camp. "Told ya!" Faux strapped on her saddle bag and slipped the books in and began to walk the way Calla went.
Dusty picked up his gun and threw it around his shoulders. Following the others through the forest. "Ah glad the others were ok!" He called happily ahead.
Calla reached the first camp, her parents were the first to meet her. *You have a very well behaved pack Cal* Jak shook his tail and Calla said thank you. "Calla!" Luck trotted up to her and nipped lightly at Calla's jaw. "How was it?" Calla returned the friendly gesture to Luck. *It was great! There was maybe 5 of them but ur dad here easily took them out!* Luck went on and on about their fight wagging her tail the whole time.
Faux agreed and trotted to catch up. She looked to the sky and saw that the sun was soon setting. "Its almost night time and we aren't even at out own camp."
Dusty entered the first camp, smiling as he saw noone was hurt. "Looks like everything turned out ok." Dusty spoke outloud to noone in particular. He strolled through the camp, picking back up the files from earlier, one animal had caught his eye, but he didn't know if it was true or not. Dusty pulled out the picture and info. "Dune Scorpion..." His voice trailing off as he read the information on the animal.
