something new

Jendai followed along with Solveiga as she led the way toward a source of water. She couldn't help but have a small shadow of a smile on her muzzle as she watched the sand-hued woman run ahead as the river came into view. Her new companion seemed so much more energetic and carefree than herself. It felt like a nice change of pace to have someone so cheerful around. When Solveiga looked back at her, Jendai chuckled and motioned with her head toward the river ahead of them. "I'm coming, I'm coming! Watch where you're going before you go headfirst in the river," she called, a teasing tone to her voice. She was sure Solve wouldn't just go tumbling in, but she didn't want her new friend blindly walking either. She trotted a bit faster to catch up, slowing as she fell in line beside her friend once again. She stopped at the edge of the water, the rushing water washing over her charcoal toes as she bent her head down to lap up some of the cool water. She lifted her head again with a contented sigh, looking over to her friend with a smile. "This is a huge improvement from the desert, don't you think?"
