Being excited and impatient was a frustrating combination. She wanted to go, go and learn everything there was possibly to learn. A snort was let out of her snout urging her teacher to hurry. Her visiting we became more and more apparent as she waited. After what seemed like an eternity Kajika finally got up. A short work of excitement pushed its way past the yearlings lips before she could stop it. Realizing that everyone was still asleep her ebony ears laid flat upon her skull while mercury eyes nervously looked at the den entrance. Seeing no one emerged Moonshadow gave an apologetic smile. Her excitement over took her once more as she bounded after Kajika to the edge of the clearing.

He spoke about going to the border and to ask any questions she may have. She gave him an eager nod and sent her nose to the ground. This lesson was about markers and scents she needed to identify as many as possible. The midnight yearling would have plenty of time to learn landmarks and sites. For now she was intent on finding the border with her nose. There were so many scents on their way to the border. Prey, plants, and wolves. Some scents were much weaker than others but the girl ignored them. Only once did she find the clearly marked borders did she'd look up to see where her teacher was. She didn't see his dark form until she looked to her other side. A wide smile crossed her face as the teen wagged her tail quickly. "So whats next?" She asked finally able to rein in her excitement. She needed to focus so she could remember everything.

OOC!

Silver eyes focused on the pale amber ones of her instructors. Her tail wagged steadily at her hocks as she waited patiently for instructions on what to do next. Extra vigilant got it she thought giving him a small nod in response with a serious look. She could do that easily. Living on her own for the majority of her life left the teen able to keep track of prey and anything out the ordinary - such as someone following her. After everything was explained to her Moon gave Kajika a smile and started along the border. With her nose to the ground the ebony girl searched for the tell tale signs of a border marker. The first one was only a few wolf lengths away from where the dark pair currently stood. It smelled not only of wolves but also of Nightshade, White Fir, Pine, and damp earth. Taking a deep breath in the yearling took note of each scent storing it in the archives of her mind so that she may never forget them. Having only been in the pack for a brief time most of the scents of wolves were unfamiliar. This caused the girls brows to furrow, how could she know what was supposed to be there - or rather who - if she didnt know who was allowed to be?

"Uh..." she started unsure how to ask with out seeming like a dummy. "I dont know everyone in the pack. So are all the scents here belonging to our packmates?" She questioned. Having him confirm would allow her to make the mental note that this is how its supposed to be so that as they kept walking she would be able to determine if anything was out of place. The teen was able to recognize the scents of Vespertio and Namid from when they accepted her as well as Kajika's. The few others however were unfamiliar. One was strongly present presumably meaning a current member and others were of different variations of faded. Her coal like nose flared as she took in the scents again. It was interesting to the young girl and a bit of pride filled her as she thought it was a good thing that she could tell the different variation of the scents. Looking up to her teacher she waited expectantly for his answer. She had no intentions of letting her excitement get the  best of her again and didnt want to bombard him with too many questions at once.

OOC! Sorry for the shortness Dx

His response wasnt what the yearling was expecting but it would have to do. He asked what the common scents were among everyone she had met. Taking a deep breath in she identified the scents that clung to everyones coats "Nightshade, damp earth, pine and uh - white fir?" She wasnt sure if she got the name correct on the last one. Once given an answer the young girl smiled to herself happy that she was doing well. She took note of the wolves she smelt at this marker and moved on to the next one. Now that the scents were burnt into her memory there wasnt a need to keep her nose so close to the ground. She was able to follow them easily from collection site to collection site.

Her dark tail wagged behind her enthusiastically as she trailed along the borders. Going from marker to maker was easy enough since they all had been strong. The next one however wasnt as potent on the nose as the others had been. Going to investigate the marker, the ebony yearling was perplexed about why this one wasnt as strong as the others. "Why isnt this one as strong as the others?" She asked looking back towards the dark form of her teacher. Did someone miss this one perhaps?

The scents that her coal nose identified were indeed correct. A smile formed across her maw and her dark tail swished back and fourth with pride from the praise. This didn't seem difficult to the yearling and actually could be fun to her. Being able to explore her new home and continue to learn excited the teen. Moon absolutely loved to learn everything about everything and she was eager too. With her tail still swaying and eyes and ears directed towards her instructor she absorbed his question. Gears turned in her head as she tried to come up with an answer. She gave a shake of her head saying no she didn't know how to refresh them. She searched her brain for something logical to explain how to refresh it but was dumbfounded. The only thing the ebony girl could come up with would be rubbing ones coat along it but that didn't make sense for the marker was on the ground not on the tree.

Mercury eyes found their way from wolf to snow searching for an answer. Nothing the girl came up with in her head fit properly and it started to bother her. She had always been intelligent and could come up with something but this was proving to be more difficult that she thought. Moonshadow glanced back towards Kajika briefly before settling on the ground by his feet. Her ears laid flat and her head lowered in defeat. Not being able to come up with anything was a first for the girl and wasn't a feeling she enjoyed. She gave another shake of her head to say no, being too ashamed to say the words out loud.

With her head still low she silently beat herself up over not being able to come up with an answer. Her tail had long stopped swinging behind her and now instead crept closer to her underside. Ever since the accident the young girl had learned to be quick in blaming herself and being hard on herself. The blame rang loud within her thoughts, almost drowning out her teachers words. His tone was encouraging and was able to silence the blame within her as well as draw her gaze up. Looking at him she gave a small half smile admitting that yes this was why they were going over it.

His next words came as a relief to the teen. Being able to see how it was done would be a great way to learn. As he moved towards the marker Moon's ear lifted from her skull and her tail relaxed. Silver orbs watched as he moved over and...and peed??? It was that simple?!? She yelled internally. Now the blame for not seeing the obvious replaced what came before it. Her ears flickered back once more but as she thought about it, it made sense as to why that was what had to be done. Her eyes found those of her teachers and she gave a small nod. "That made alot of sense. I couldn't figure out how one would get their scent onto the ground. Thank you for showing me." She gave the dark man a smile and gentle wag of her tail to show her appreciation because in all reality he didn't have to help her at all.
