Hoping for Exploring/Hunting depending on people's moods. Based on how many people join, I will use less tokota's so feel free to add more of yours in!
Fog hung low over the tribe that morning, making the air outside thick with fog and the ground glistening wet with dew as Hazel finished the last drink of her tea, setting the cup in the sink, before heading to the door. She grabbed her warm jacket, and headed outside trudging over to the barn. Behind her followed Yuuki, as the little toki seemed far more content to sleep with her than in the barn where the tokota's found beds of hay a little bit more spacious. It was here that Hazel would find her other two tokota's, Shattered and Kibwe. Unlike Yuuki, Shattered and Kibwe seemed to enjoy the spaciousness the barn had to offer in compared to the rooms in Cross Creek Tribe's log cabin. Hazel could understand that, the room was snug with Davin, Yuuki and any toktoa's that decided to follow Davin around... With Kibwe inheriting her dire fathers large size and Shattered just being a tokota, which was plenty large as is, the barn was more suitable in most cases.
When she entered, she could see Kibwe's head poking out from one of the far stalls,and she expected that Shattered would be with her. Kibwe seemed to tolerate the dapple female some what,a nd though Hazel wouldn't call them friends she did see that they often stayed pretty close... choosing one another's company over that of the company of other tokota's... With the exception of Kunik's Vurrlied, whom Shattered did seem to hang around closely with as well.
Kibwe picked up her head as Hazel entered, giving a low gruff good morning. When she did this, Hazel could hear other tokota's near by waking up as well. It was not uncommon that Hazel was the first one up and around, so most of them should be use to waking up to her by now. Still, she was always grateful to see her two tokota's emerge first, both from that same stall in the very back. So apparently Shattered had spent the night close to Kibwe, as opposed to Vurrlied. Hazel couldn't decide if that was a good thing or a bad thing, because she honestly wasn't sure about what kind of an influence the merle curly dire was. A great leader, sure, but hardly a tokota that she normally handled. Kibwe was very much her own soul, and though she for who knows why thought Hazel was her 'alpha' of sorts, she still hardly listened except when Hazel was going along with something similar to what the dire wanted to do... She really hoped this wouldn't leak into Shattered's own personality.
"Good morning ya'll. How are you and the sheep?" Hazel cooed to the waking tokota's, knowing that through out the night many of them would have taken turns checking on the sheep pen which could be seen from the far windows. The tokota's of Cross Creek tribe where very protective of the tribes main source of pride as well as food and clothing: the sheep herd. Which was actually growing larger and larger every day it seemed and would no doubt be booming now that spring was upon them. More guards would have to be posted though, in case other predators though lamb would be an easy meal this spring.
She patted Kibwe and Shattered as they approached, Yuuki greeting the other two with happy barks and a wiggling little dwarfed body- which was absolutely adorable.
"What shall we do today? Hunting? Exploring perhaps? We'd need another friend or two regardless."

“Are you sure it’s a good idea to be waking Vinheart up this early? You know how grumpy she can be,” Ciarra commented nervously as she followed after the older brown female.
Jewel snorted at Ciarra’s hesitation, “It’s fine, Vinh may be a grump but she’ll get over it, waking her up isn’t enough to make her keep a grudge,” she replied. “Besides, sleeping upside down in a tree can’t be too healthy for her, she’ll thank us later.”
Ciarra just shook her head, sighing as the snake girl became visible in the distance, hanging upside down by her tail that was wrapped around the tree and some branches tightly to keep her from slipping and falling. At least they hadn’t made it onto the tribe area just yet, still being in Vinheart’s family’s land where it’d be trespassing to be in the area without her permission.
Jewel strolled right up and shoved her face against Vinh’s before licking her tongue up the side of her face.
Waking up seemed to be getting harder ever since Vinh found herself back at Cross Creek after three month’s worth of training that she only spoke about to Nitchel and Rycker for. So when she was being poked at by Jewel and Ciarra to wake her up she wasn’t too surprised, but all the same she was grumpy at waking up, especially after Jewel slobbered her face up with a lick that covered half her face. Even though she had promised the two that they’d go hunting for some goats since they’d come back into season. The horns and pelts were well worth the time she had to wake up to get searching for a group of them, and yet she still grumbled under her breath as she sat atop Ciarra’s back while she and Jewel walked along to go see if anybody else was up and awake and ready to go hunting.
“You two just can't give it up, can you? The whole pack can’t, you guys just can’t let me sleep through the deals I made to you guys,” She continued mumbling tiredly before laying across Ciarra’s back with a grunt.
Ciarra and Jewel picked up their pace, finally the bumping making Vinh sit up to keep herself on Ciarra’s back. The tribe barn was in sight finally, and with the door slightly open. Vinh guessed someone was awake and getting ready as well for going out to do things. Vinh hopped off Ciarra when they were a few feet away, heading into the barn to see who was up.
“Hey Hazel,” she greeted as she walked in.

(changing my mind, bringing yuuki and Kibwe)
Hazel looked up as she heard someone approaching, stopping what she was doing just to see. Perhaps it would be someone who would have some time to go out and about with her. After all, going alone was just... lonely. She was leaving the twins, and the male toki's, back with Davin today. The males needed to practise herding the sheep so that they would be all ready for their rites of breeding. One could never really practise enough for that, and Hazel always chose she sheep herding competition when she could simply because tie as something she knew her and her tokota's could practise and be good at.
Still, of course, other tasks had to be done. Other tasks like looking out exploring the nearby lands and making sure no spring storms had ruined anything and such. Ok, ok, so it wa sa bad excuse for the fact that she loved exploring. That even though she had a home here in the tribe she loved seeing new places and learning new things. Luckily, within a day ro so of travel there was so much for them to see that she hardly ever felt like she could see it all. She would never leave this spot, not when it had so much to offer from rocky mountain ranges, to flowery fields, to swelling rivers and lakes, to thick earthy woods. This place head it all.
She saw Vihn and enter and smiled.
"Hey Vihn, how are you? Are you looking to go exploring or hunting because if so you could come with me, I hadn't decided which one yet though so I'm open to suggestions." She said, looking to the younger tokota handler. Vihn was someone really close to Hazel's heart, like a daughter almost. She had seen the female handler grow, and change, so much. She had mourned her when Vihn had disappeared and rejoiced when she had returned even if it took a while to get use to how Vihn looked now in comparison to what she had looked like when she was younger. Still, Vihn was still Vihn, and like Hazel tent wins loved her as well. She was practically part of the family at this point.
As if to prove that point, when Yuuki saw her coming, the white and black sable toki came waddling up to Vihn. Hazel would have tried to stop her, but the effort wouldn't have worked anyway so she didn't bother. For some reason, Yuuki was stubborn when it came to desiring Vihn's affections despite Vihn not seeming as warmed to the idea of dwarf sized tokota's. Who know's that, Yuuki was one of Hazel's best hunters, so if they ran into any prey or predators maybe Hazel could prove that. Otherwise though, it was Kibwe that was her best explorer... So..
She looked to Shattered and Kibwe. She could only bring one of them with her really. One would have to stay back and hang out with the male toki's, who where still newer in comparison.
Kibwe was the better explorer... and definitely needed less time in charge to hopefully humble her. So, against her better judgement, she decided she should take Kibwe. That way, whatever Vihn and her decided doing Hazel would be ready. Although if they where going exploring she'd have to get Bailey to come with them.... or maybe Kaskae? Kaskae was newer and looked like he needed to meet some more handlers to grow more comfortable with them and the tribe as a whole.

Vinh smiled back when Hazel greeted her almost right upon entering, “Hey Hazel,” she replied, “still waking up despite Ciarra and Jewel’s lovely way of waking me up...me and these two were going to go hunting, but if you’re okay with it exploring in numbers is usually safer than alone.”
Vinh reluctantly patted Yuuki on the head when the Toki waddled over, though she quickly intertwined her hands in front of her and put her attention back to where Hazel was with Shattered and Kibwe. Vinh was not one to try and encourage Yuuki’s constant eagerness to get her attention, rather uncomfortable when a Toki came up to her as the smallest canine she was used to asking for her attention was Huskies and Malamutes, which even then Tokis were fairly larger. So with Tokis being the in between height and their build that reminded her of Corgis, she saw them as very awkward and not what she’d want to be around a bunch. Always either animals taller than her or large dog size, not pony sized, even her shortest Tokota was still quite large, only a few centimeters shorter than herself.
“Seems you have quite the little crew already up and awake,” she commented.
