The Mud Queen

Why did it have to be so hot? She'd left the plains to go somewhere where she thought would be a bit cooler. Her itch to travel hadn't dissipated since becoming an alpha and with everything so quiet at home she wanted an adventure. She couldn't really blame anyone for not wanting to do anything. The heat seemed to be sapping everyone's energy and making them lethargic. There were times that even she wanted to do nothing but stay in her shaded den to keep away from the harsh rays of the sun. Rather than be a lazy stick in the mud, she'd left to go off on an exploration trip. The pack seemed to be growing in numbers so this time it wasn't a trip to see if she could bring anyone home. She mostly wanted new scenery and perhaps even a knew face to acquaint herself with. If she could find a cooler place to have some fun at that was a bonus. It was noon by the time she'd crossed the Rio Grand. Even its waters seemed shallower than normal but it was refreshing nonetheless. By the time she had reached the range she wasn't even damp anymore and the sun had climbed higher than ever. Dried mud was still spattered across her legs from where she'd climbed out of the river but she didn't mind it. In fact an entire mud bath wouldn't have been a bad idea, but it was too late for it now. Instead she carried herself around with her tail waving softly behind her. Dual colored gaze would soak in the entire area and she was met with an array of overgrown plants. There was corn, which she hadn't actually ever seen before, and many fruits too. The grapes in particular, of which she didn't actually know the name of, intrigued her and she padded over to a vine. Most seemed to be shriveled from lack of water but a few still seemed to be good. She wasn't sure if she should eat some but they smelled good. They had to taste as good as they smelled, right? Shrugging her shoulders she grabbed one between her teeth and chomped down on it and was surprised by the taste that met her tongue. It did taste pretty good! Walk, "Talk" Think |
