The day after Jewel's fight, the man came out of his house; with his hand still bandaged up. With a venomous glare to Jewel, the man walked over to release her from her confining chain if she didn't try to bite at him. If she tried, he would simply leave her there.

Then the man looked around his cluttered yard and called for Reaper. He so strange-looking collar in on hand, and of course, the bat in the other. He would take Reaper hunting today without any sort of leash; but there was a catch.

Whipcord was tucked between her hind limbs as the human approached. Her frame was sent as far as possible away from him.

He wouldn't try and bite the human today for he didn't feel like getting hit on the back of his head with the bat but he'd try some other time. He could since that he probably wasn't going to have a fight today. He watches carefully to make sure he didn't try and harm Jewel or he would attack.

Curious about the collar he pads over not afraid of the human but his eyes didn't leave the sight of the bat. He sniffed the collar and then snorted and turned around and padded over to the water dish for a drink.

Not being attacked so far, the man released Jewel from her chain, and allowed her to roam 'free' in the cluttered yard once more. Yet he was being lenient with her this time, since she was such a good fighter. A 'lesser' fighter might have been killed, or nearly so.

The man turned his attention to Reaper next. Receiving no snaps from the hybrid, the man attempted to put the strange collar on Reaper, but was ready to us his bat if needed.

He pulls way as the man manages to get the collar around his neck. He snaps once at the man but purposely misses. He wondered where they were going today.

The man gave Reaper a light swat on his head, while saying a harsh word of anger. He knew the snap was not meant to harm him, but he didn't like the fact that Reaper was being defiant like that. Now he snapped a short length of chain to the collar and led (or forced) Reaper out of the yard, and quickly closed and locked the fence gate behind him. From there, he led his fighter out of the Down Town area, and towards the wilderness. To the Ashen Domes.

He follows.
