Surreal had mentioned Baine's wish to become an Emissary and Creed couldn't help but feel excitement by this. As the packs only Emissary it fell on him to train her and this would be his first time mentoring anyone. Who wouldn't be excited by that? So Creed had spent his time thinking of places he could take her to practice her endurance as well as where she could get used to different types of terrains. His first thought was the north where snow resided the majority, if not all, year long. The North was a good trek away though and he couldn't imagine Surreal being too happy with him taking her all the way there for their first trip. Instead he tried to think of places nearby which led him to thinking of the desert. It was close by and he knew the sand would offer and interesting challenge considering it was hard to run in. It felt like it wanted to drag you down and one wrong move could send you slipping. It would also prove to build up her muscles and would be a good workout for them both without being overly dangerous. There was even an oasis they could go to to rest and cool down once they needed a break. So with the place in mind Creed raised his head and let out a call to Baine, making sure it was loud enough she could hear him if she was farther away from Vericona plains. Walk, "Talk" Think

Báine was very, very surprised to hear a howl directed to just her. Her head popped up at the call and for a moment she sat there listening to the voice curiously. She had no idea what was planned for her, but she knew she would be in trouble if she didn't go see what she was needed for so she quickly got up and trotted toward the sound. She was actually kind of excited though! Whatever it was it was something different and hopefully interesting. Besides, she'd get to talk to someone she didn't usually talk to and that was extra exciting. She saw the gray and black and white man that she knew was friends with her mother and she relaxed a bit. At least it was a wolf she knew! "Hi, Creed!" she called as she got closer, her tail wagging happily and smiling. She stopped in front of him and plopped onto her haunches. "What did you call me for?" she asked curiously, her head tipping to the side. She was very excited to find out what they were going to do! "Talk" "You" Think

The tread of paw-steps along the earth caught his attention and he swung his head to watch as Baine came into view. She smiled at him in greeting and Creed offered her a broad smile and a friendly tail wag in return. He was pleased she'd arrived so quickly, especially since he was sure she had no idea why he'd called her to him. "Hi, Creed!.... What did you call me for?" "Hello!" He greeted softly. "Ah called ye cause yer Ma said ye were interes'ed in becomin an Emissary. Ah had a fun trainin exercise in mind if yer up for it." It'd at least be close by and if she decided she was done for the day it'd be an easy task to turn around and walk back to the plains. Of course that was assuming she wanted to go at all, but he sincerely hoped she would. Walk, "Talk" Think

Báine decided very quickly that she enjoyed mister Creed's accent. She loved language more than anything and even though it wasn't a new language all together it was still really interesting to listen to. He spoke of her becoming an Emissary and she perked up immediately, even though she was already pretty happy to be here to begin with. She was practically vibrating with excitement at the idea of some kind of exercise to do to make her an Emissary! She really liked the description of that job when her mother had described it before so she was excited that mister Creed was going to show her how. "Yeah! I like that idea!" she exclaimed, hopping back onto her paws and shifting from paw to paw in her excitement, even though she had no idea what they were going to be doing. "What are we gonna be doing, mister Creed?" She grinned from ear to ear while she waited for him to explain their exercise. She might be a year old now, but she hadn't lost much of that puppy excitement and energy. It didn't take much to get her hyped up and this was certainly more than enough to do that. "Talk" "You" Think

It seemed as soon as he mentioned training she came to life. She seemed to bubble up in excitement and he grinned happily. It was nice to know he was given an eager pupil. She probably would be able to keep up with him easily, he was aging after all, and he had high hopes for her as a student and as Surreal's daughter. He'd already decided he was going to try and make this as fun as possible. He'd never had any kids, not that she was really a kid anymore, but he didn't want to bore her to death. He'd try to make a game out of their training on top of trying to take her many places so she could explore to her heart's content. "We're headin' towards tha Oasis. Sand is a hard surface ta run on withou' losin yer balance so it will be good fer ye. Ye'll also build up some muscle mass." He said with a smile. With their destination in mind Creed motioned with his tail for her to follow him. He crossed over the border and the trotted closer to the center of the territory. He already knew where the oasis was, but he'd save that for later, he just wanted to get closer to it so that when they were done they could relax for a bit. Occasionally he'd glance back to make sure she was still following him. It was pretty hot out and he instantly regretted not waiting till it cooled off in the evening. Well it was too late now. The weather would just prove as a test to see how well she dealt with different climates. Finally he found a good spot and he came to a halt and eyed her. "Alrigh', here's a good spot." He paused for a minute before continuing. "So we're gonna play a game of tag. Ye up fer tha'?" ooc: I figured I'd use a dice roll for when they play to see if they're successful in tagging each other or not if that's okay by you! Walk, "Talk" Think

She listened with avid curiosity as he described where they would be going and why and she made a soft "ooooh" of awe and excitement. An oasis! She hadn't been out that direction yet. All of her adventures out of their usual home areas had been around the coast so she hadn't been out toward the desert just yet. As soon as he motioned for her to follow she was on her feet trotting after him happily. It was definitely hot out, but luckily her pale coat didn't trap heat too badly. She just hoped she didn't get a sunburn! It wouldn't be the first time. Her skin was just too pale and pink, she couldn't help it. He said they were at a good spot and her pink gaze was drawn back to him curiously to see what her next instructions were. Then he offered up a game of tag and she gasped as her tail and haunches wiggled with her barely contained excitement. She was gonna get to have her training and learn stuff and she got to play a game? This was like the best day ever! "Yeah I am!" she replied excitedly with a little hop. She giggled before nudging his shoulder with her pale nose. "Tag!" she trilled before darting off with a squeal. She raced out toward the desert since he said they'd be going to the oasis, her pale paws quickly hitting warm sand. ooc: Yeah that sounds good! You can do the first roll. 1-3 tag, 4-6 miss? "Talk" "You" Think
