The beagle took in a big breath, looking like he was about to go on a tirade, but the Akita quickly planted her paw over his mouth, silencing him. "Because the ponies are dung eaters."
"That's a good way to put it," the golden retriever says. "No one came here out of greed. This war was more about retribution than anything." The other dogs nodded in agreement, especially the beagle.

Ru thought a moment before speaking up, "retribution for what exactly?" he truly hoped it wasn't something as dumb as them being.. Dung eaters. While he still found the loss of life pointless it didn't keep him from wanting to understand.

"Stealing all our pack's gems for starters," the beagle spoke, lowering the akita's paw from his mouth.
"Yeah. One pony and her friends just came in and took the entire Silverback's cache of gems one day. Waltzed out like they were rightfully theirs to begin with," the foxhound says.
"Messed over our trade with the other packs," the akita added, starting to count on her fingers, "Collapsed our economy, sent Silverback dogs into poverty and starvation."
"And they've always done this!" continued the beagle. "They've always been dung eaters!"

Rudy paused giving thought to their words than spoke up, "why not tell them what they were doing than, and if you were so willing for a fight than maybe threaten them with action first." he rubbed his chin, "by doing this they may think your in the wrong first and not even realise their fault in this... It would seem like an unprovoked attack by as far as their concerned mindless dogs.."
He sighed, "the action is done and instead of them apologizing it may end up your pack, or they could decide to exterminate and drive out because of fear and hate you may have sparked.." to him this was textbook stuff his mother taught him of, and why planning before and knowing risk was important.

"What, are you siding with them?" the beagle accused. "Are you even a dog? Maybe he's a pony in disguise. That would-"
"Just hush," the Akita interrupted.
"Look," the golden spoke. "I can assure you that if we had threatened the ponies with anything, their would have been a full-scale invasion into the dog territories. The ponies and griffons have always been stronger than the packs, and it's not a rare occurrence for them to take advantage of it. If you think one Diamond Dog fighting for justice against a nation as strong as Equestria is wrong, then you've got a messed up worldview."

He glared at the beagle somewhat, "I'm not siding with anyone." he growled abit before looking to the Golden, "Than if threatening them isn't a good idea, and attacking them obviously didn't pan out... Than why not speak to them on more even ground.." he glared at the ground before glancing up, "To me its neither side having enough understanding of the other.." he scratched behind his ear, "I suppose from the circumstances, while I don't agree with the actions taken I understand it... somewhat..."
Ru shook his head, "I had been told this land was peaceful and beautiful.. Sorry if I offend, I had simply excepted or hoped things were different." he wondered if his mother knew of the worlds condition, she was quite up there in years and they were so disconnected from the world.

"...that's why you came here?" the foxhound asked. "Did you like... not know there was a war going on or something?"
"Where are you from?" the golden asked. "What pack? What's your role?"
The fire gave a crack as some of the logs collapsed a little into each other, embers dancing up into the air. "I'll get another log," spoke the boxer, getting up and walking a short distance away.

Ru pulled himself from his thoughts when the boxer spoke and stood, "Hmmm?... Oh, A short ways outside the boarders of Equestria, I dont think it quite has a name other than a hut of some sorts." he chuckled softly, pausing and grunting, "I have no pack, nor role, I do as I please." he shrugged, "Well, I traveled a small area with my elder mother, when she passed I had hoped to learn of the places in her stories.. Equestria seemed the closest and more interesting option at the time."

The dogs around the fire went between exchanging looks and looking at Rudy. "What kind of dog doesn't have a pack?" the beagle finally spoke, seeming to speak what was on everyone's mind.
"Well at least we know he's not a spy," the Akita spoke. "A spy would at least come up with something convincing. This is just... weird."
"Maybe he's a changeling," the beagle suggested. "Changelings don't know dung about the packs. Maybe he's trying to-"
"He's not a changeling," the foxhound spoke. "Changelings are afraid of fire."
"What? No they're not!"
"Yeah they are. That's how you root 'em out."
"No. They're not."
"You don't know dung about the real world, do you?" the golden asked, ignoring the other two dogs' bickering and looking at Rudy. The other dogs looked as well, waiting for his response.

He glared somewhat and muttered, "I know plenty of the world, I just do not know much of equestrian life and thats one of the reasons I came..." he let the others prattle on, "I had a pack, I guess, a dragon kept us as part of his horde, I escaped his fire when I was younger is all..." he shrugged, "I haven't seen many diamond dogs since, much less any who are kind."

The atmosphere among the dogs suddenly became quiet and tense. The fire crackling was the only thing making sound among the groups. The beagle looked at the golden and opened his mouth as if to speak. The golden shot him a look, and his mouth was soon closed again.
"Dragon, huh?" the foxhound asked.
"How'd you escape?" the akita added.

Ru paused and sighed, crossing his arms, a bit guarded on such a question but muttered, "I don't remember much of it... I was a tiny pup at the time... the older pups told me we had always been there, none of us had ever gone outside... much less knew it existed..." he thought a moment, "We were taken from our elders, separated by age, and taught to either guard, or dig for more shiny rocks..." he growled a bit, "I was being built to guard I think... I dont know how I got away, just one day there was a lot of fire, everyone running, and I was outside... some barren wasteland till a Zebra found me... She let me stay with her afterwards.. She said she'd seen me running somewhere..." he shook his head, "I just know I dont remember running." he snorted, "I went back time and time again but I have no clue where that damned lair is.." he snarled, "I dont know if Im the only one who got away, much less lived." he dug his claws into his arm some, growing agitated.

The dogs looked at Rudy silently.
"There's nothing for you in Equestria," the golden finally spoke. "If you have a home, you should go back to it. If you don't, you should go to the back to the territories. Try and find a pack that will take you in." The others nodded in agreement. "Any dog that hangs around Equestria after the ponies've regrouped is good as dead."

He shook his head, "Theres plenty here for me, I have done no wrong to the ponies and they've done nothing to me so far..." he sighed, "I have several places I must visit here first... and besides I prefer traveling alone..." he got up from where he'd been sitting, feeling he was wearing out his welcome.
