((Private thread for Mercy and Kana))
Snapping of branches, clanging of metal, grunts of effort could be heard coming from a small grove a tall trees hidden within the Mountains. A lean, muscular silouhette of a Doberman moved fluidly from within the grove.
Fabius weaved in between a few of the trees, slicing through the bark as he went, before turning and jumping from tree to tree to reach a high branch and grab it with his teeth, breaking it. When he touched the ground he turned quickly to to slash at the trunk of another tree with the razor sharp claws of his bionic leg.
When he finished his routine he panted slightly, barely showing the exhaustion one should have shown after doing these exercises for two straight hours. After cracking the vertibrae in his neck he loped of towards a stream, leaving behind a grove of all but demolished trees.
A few years ago, the black and tan dog was the best and most feared attack dog at Ash Hollow Testing Facility. Since he was old enough to run and bite he had been put through regimens similar to the one he just demonstrated everyday, and more after he lost his leg and gained the robotic appendage and chemicals running in his veins. He loved his job and even after he escaped he still committed himself to keeping in top shape.
Fabius leaned down to drink the cool water, instinctively keeping his eyes up and his ears pointed in all directions. He couldn't put his paw on it, but something had him on edge today.

Kana had been exploring the outer reaches of the lands she now belonged to and had fond her way to a grove of trees. The female dobi moved lithly and found a small gorge to her amusment. Across the gorge, oddly enough, was the grove's other half. Weird thing was... it was scarred and shredded. The soft hum of a following stream made her flick her ears picking up a rythmic sound (fabius drinking).
Kana leaped onto a stone platform set in the middle of the gorge and she looked around her for a path. A thin path way of pillars guided towards the other side of the gorge. Her curiosity towards the sounds and torn trees drove her to leap onto one stone then the next. About three pillars away from the other side a large crunch took her. The rock under her nimble paws shattered.
The doberman didn't weight much, but she was enough muscle and tooth to bring down the worn pillar. Unfourtunatly for her, she was caught off gaurd at the wiff of her new pack mate Fabius. That one distraction gave the stone enough time to pull her down with it. "Damn it..." she snapped at herself in her mind as she felt the last of the rock give way. The fall was not long, but the spears of stone were long... and sharp. She was half way through a cuss when the first spear came out to grip her. Only the handy work of twisting her thin body let her narrow past it. Kana looked up in a haze from where she was now laying at the bottom of the gorge, strange creatures dancing before her misty eyes. (attack of the schizo!)

Fabius' head shot up, water dripping from his muzzle. Somewhere ahead of him he had heard what sounded like a rock slide, but before it, an all too familiar cussing. "Damn it...." The Doberman shook his head slowly and shut his eyes, hoping when he opened them it would just be a bad dream. "Oh no." he sighed, "I'd better go see if she's alright"
Fabius looked hesitantly at the stream and tested the water, he couldn't swim because of his metal leg and dense body so he was always careful, it barely went up half his leg and the water calmly swirled around it. Relieved he didn't have to take the time to find another route, he embraced the cool water and crossed with the high stepping action of a Hackney pony.
When he reached the edge of the gorge he looked down and saw the she-Dobe at the bottom. Digging his metal claws into the rock, he slid roughly down the side of the ravine to the bottom. Quietly, he approached Kana and said, "Hey King Kan, I thought you're supposed to fall off a skyscraper, not a stone pillar. You alright?"

"I don't know who you think you are coming down here insulting me when I just broke a rib you mutt!" She snapped in irritation. Kana lifted herself from the rubble giving her side a few swipes, her mind full of cusses and insults pointed at herself. The female looked up at Fabius with a rebellious look in her eyes, they suddenly dialated a bit in shock before they narrowed back down to her angered position.
The dillusions her mind was making up again was starting to piss her off. Kana's purple orbs flashed about tracing the moving, mutated and mangled illusions with a murderous glare. The doberman shook her head harshly and looked back at Fabius ruefully, "I'll be fine no thanks to you. If I hadn't caught you forsaken scent I wouldn't have lost it for a second and shattered my rib."
A mixed emotioned face was displayed as she kicked away a boulder and leaped onto a stone to head up the ridge. Kana winced in pain from her side and sat down staring at the lip of the gorge through narrowed purple eyes. "Blast it..." she barked lowly, her back towards Fabius. Her nub of a tail twitched irrtably.

Fabius raised his brow and grinned in amusement at her rantings. She was a pain sometimes, but when he made her get like this, she was pretty entertaining. "Mutt. Ouch, that one hurt me right here," he said sarcastically and raised a paw to his chest and chuckled. "If I knew just the scent of me made you go weak in the knees, I would have put up a warning sign. Fresh, beefy hot dogs straight ahead."
Kana's tail twitched in frustration as she sat on the boulder. Fabius watched her, she seemed to be in fair amount of pain from that broken rib. He didn't think she needed to blame him for the rock giving out, but he felt bad about her getting injured. His leg may be artificial, but his heart wasn't, he wanted to help.
Walking around to the other side of the boulder he sat on his haunches and looked up at the angry, spiteful form that was Kana. After a few minutes he cleared his throat and in as serious a tone that he could muster he smirked and asked, "So....need some help up the ridge, Cupcake?"

Her entire pelt ruffled at his scent comment and she snapped angrily, "I wouldn't be so full of yourself... you never know what you might lose getting cocky about crap. Oh and your scent is everything BUT appetizing, I was shocked that any one from the pack was out here." She flicked a tall, erect ear in her fury towards the boasting male.
Kana resisted going after him and having herself a blood bath, but she decided against it. The female doberman's ears twisted hearing the stones crunch under his metalic paw as she came over to the stone she was perched on. When she caught that "cupcake" remark... it was on.
The female swivled her head and turned her body to face him, snarling down from the top of the rugged stone. "I don't need help from testosterone jockies like you! I can get out with my own muscle power thank you very much and EVER call me cupcake again and you can expect to never have pups with any female... unless certain body parts grow back." Her lips were flipped over her narrow, assassin sharpened, teeth.

If Fabius hadn't already been sitting he would've sat immediately to protect his crown jewels. A loud gulp echoed in his throat. Now he knew what his dad meant when he said to never taunt a bitch in pain, especially when that bitch's name was Kana.
When her threats were finished he stood, lowered his ears and sneered, "Fine. I just wanted to help, but now I'm gonna go up there and watch you and your muscle power get your own estrogen seeping self out of here." Head held high in pride her trotted off, trying to leave the conversation with a shread of dignity.
True to his word he sprinted to the cliff wall and ran vertically up it a short disctance before digging his claws into the rock and tip toeing along the thin ledges. Hoisting himself over the top, he shook himself off and stretched before lieing near the edge. Fabius crossed his paws arrogently and leaned his head forward to look down upon his fuming packmate. "You can talk the talk, now lets see some action, Licorice Whip." He just never learned.

Kana rolled her eyes, "You under estimate me brute." The lean female stood up claming down turning her neck to the side. After getting loud pops turning her neck to both sides she crouched. Her eyes flitted over the rugged walls and stone mounds. Kana smirked, licking her side swiftly before shuffling herself lower to the ground.
Her purple eyes flicked up to look a Fabius smugly and she flicked them back infront. The muscles in her body flexed and tensed. In all of a couple of seconds they stored up power them let go and sent her thundering forward towards a steep jab of stone. Kana let her instinct take over, leaping against the boulder and sucking up every bit of potential energy from the angel she was glued to the rock face at.
The doberman again let her muscles flex, tense, then give a punch to the rock sending her soaring to the ledge. Kana spread into a thin line and bolted up into the air, an inch from Fabius's nose. She landed about three feet from the edge of the gorge's lip and turned her head to look at him. "THAT is how you walk the walk Fabius," she barked confidently and slipped through the trees towards the creek he had been at eariler. That'll show his ass how it's done.
(WHAT NOW BRUTE =3)

Fabius wouldn't deny he was impressed, but neither would he ever admit it. He arched his neck and laid back his cropped ears. "Tsh. Yeah, yeah, whatever, bitch." He paced after her towards the stream, his metal leg not making much sound in the soft grass.
It didn't take long until he was practically walking next to her. "What happened to your quote unquote shattered rib, hmm? Or was it just an act to make me go easy on you so you could show me up without trying." Against better judgement, he brushed his shoulder against her side to see how she reacted, pissed off or pissed off and in pain. Either way he sidestepped far out of the way to avoid losing something valuable.

Kana muttered under her breath while he was talking on stubbornly. She twitched her nose catching a breeze half ignoring him. Her ears swivled at his approach though she was holding back another snarl. Is this guy irritating enough? she growled in her mind.
On his rib remark the female put the tip of her muzzle a bit higher and retorted back, "Yeah unfortunatly no. It just burns like hail (momentary acent time on the cuss XD) so lay off." Kana snarled, her head snapping to the side and closed her jaws loudly a couple of inches from his ear, "Do NOT play with me, brute. You should be aware... I can fight dirty."
With that curious comment she kept moving, her stride lengthly and sliding. Kana reached the creek and lowered her muzzle to drink, lapping up the water quietly and trying to relax a bit. Her side still throbbed and she knew it would be a pain, but she wasn't about to show any weakness even if it caused her a load of pain doing it.

Fabius snorted before retorting, "That's good, cause that's the only way I know how to play." He watched her closely, but not in a perverted way he might usually. 'She's great at hiding pain,' he thought and continued to watch. He thought that for someone who despised testosterone junkies with a passion, she had enough balls to make that leap in the gorge with an injury like that.
Lightly stepping up to the creek, he looked down at her as she lapped up the cool water. "You know I've had broken ribs before, and if you lie down in the stream on the off side it will help with the pain and bruising." He lowered his head to be even with hers before adding, "And you'd be able to have a drink without worrying about the jagged edges of the bone piercing something delicate."
Fabius raised his head again and turned to leave. Padding slowly over to a large, flat rock. He hopped onto it, making pinging sound as his metal claws struck the stone, and laid down. He stretched out with his back to the female pretending to ignore her. He knew that she was too proud to do what he told her, but he figured that if he looked like he wasn't watching, she would let her injuries tell her what to do. Finally he curled into a ball and let the sun's rays warm his black pelt, his tall ears, laid back as if in relaxation, listened for what Kana would do.

Kana being the stubborn bitch doberman she was snapped her head up when he got close snarling. He wasn't exactly "welcome" in her space which she planned to make apparent. "Hard headed male," she snapped in her mind.
When he had gone to the rock and curled up looking relaxed she wondered if the laying in the creek thing would work. Kana glanced back at her side and winced at the bruise she couldn't see... though she could definatly feel it. With a curious paw she dabbed the water feeling the cold fluid swivel around her paw. Kana moved into the water slowly, but after two paws hit the bottom she noticed somthing. Blood.
Her mind wheeled as her eyes, tricked by her mind, saw a stream of blood. The oasis of a cool and inviting stream was now just another waking nightmare. Kana flew back wards snarling, her ears flat and purple orbs wide. Her lower jaw line quivered in a nervous fury. The female was well aware that it was a trick, but she was in rage at herself. Fear still lingered, but most of her emotions were locked on shamful hate. Kana couldn't keep up with her disease, it was going to be the death of her whether it would cause it directly or distract her long enough for somthing else to finish her off.

Smirking at the sound of paws entering the water, Fabius metiphorically patted himself on the back at his successful plan. He wasn't going to turn around and gloat though, that would screw everything up, she would step out, make an excuse and they'd be back to square one. For now he continued to sun bathe, his eyes drooping to settle into a relaxing nap.
That is, until the sound of snarling sent him into high alert mode. Scrambling to his feet her turned to see Kana, ears back, eyes wide, jaw quivering, showing emotions he couldn't determine. Was she angry, afraid, in pain, he couldn't tell, and even more frustrating he couldn't figure out why. When Fabius looked around, mahogany eyes scanning the ground where the female had set her piecing gaze. All he saw was the creek, the trees, the cliff, the rock, and the two of them, otherwise, nothing...
He jumped from the warm stone over to the agitated bitch. Taking a defensive stance he locked his eyes again to horizon, searching for any movement. "What did you see," he said in a voice barely above a whisper. She stood there, seeming not to have heard him. A frustrated growl rumbled in his chest, "Dammit Kana, what's wrong? What did you see?" His muscles tensed, prepared to strike at the unknown, lips curled into a snarl. The adrenaline that pumped throughout his body prevented him from feeling a twinge of pain beneath the scar on his temple.

Her eyes smoldered at the creek until it faded away reciting in her head that it was just a sick joke from her body. The tormenting illusion dispersed as Fabius came over tensly.
She felt the hum in the air as he spoke, but it was a slurr of sounds to her at first. When he repeated she blinked and tossed her head back and forth, backing up. Kana turned and raced into the half clawed forest her vision and thoughts still foggy. Finally she stopped by a still standing tree and leaned her left shoulder against it's rough bark. "I can't keep doing this... it's going to kill me at this rate," she spoke to herself lowly, not really caring if the male had heard or not.

Fabius was watching the empty space in front of him so intently that he almost missed Kana's retreat. He looked back and saw he shaking her head before running into the grove. 'What in the..?' he thought as he looked from the female to a space she was just snarling at. Finally, he dug his claws in the dirt and raced after her.
She stopped and supported herself on one of the mangled trees, head low and talking to her self. "I can't keep doing this... it's going to kill me at this rate," he heard. Cautiously he approached her from behind, keeping a safe distance. When she didn't continue her words, curiousity grew and he spoke in serious tone, "What happened back there? What's going to kill you?"
He fixed his gaze on her, his erect to catch any answer. As the adrenaline subsided, he could feel the throbbing pulse in his forehead, the sound of the blood pumping filled his ears, making it harder to hear. The pain was growing, 'Why does it always happen at the worst times,' he thought bitterly as he tried to focus on Kana to keep his headache form growing.
