His sunny eyes stayed locked on the shepherd as he made his way out of the water, sighing as the words left his mouth. Phantom was always so concerned for him that he often seemed to forget about his own needs. His back grew rigid at the thought, and he turned and left the water. Standing on the shore, droplets ran from his spotted body and hit the earth below him like rain. Taking his time to chew over his words, he looked up and around the lake, again feeling the need to explore this new land around them. With a swish of his half length tail that scattered water behind him, he poked his nose into the reeds where he saw the ducks nesting. They didn’t even seem to notice him, too occupied in keeping their eggs warm. Well, at least hunting would be rather easy. Feathered prey wasn’t his favorite though, chewing around all the feathers felt like he was choking. It bothered his weak lungs, so with a snort he moved on. He had Phantom to hunt for him, but he knew that he should work on being more self-sufficient here. He never really liked being babied either, just because he was born with lungs that didn’t work right didn’t mean that he couldn’t do anything. Eniko turned back to the dog to finally say something, but he was met with a grinning face instead. Confused, he followed where he was looking and quickly saw the bees nest. Oh… honey. HIs tongue flicked over his still damp maw, taking a deep a breath as he could. It would be nice, his throat was always sore after attacks like that. His chest seized up at the memory, and he found himself taking a few steps up to the tree. Soon the sound of bees filled his sensitive ears, which flickered on the top of his head. He knew just how bad a sting from them hurt, and he didn’t really feel like either of them getting stuck without the salve that they had at the kingdom. Turning back to Phantom, he sharply shook his head. He was fine, it would be too much of a risk right now. The deer-coloured wolf had had worse attacks, honestly he could survive without it. Plus, with the sun up they would be rather active. "How about we look around the area first, learn as much as we can before the sun goes down?" he suggested, half turning to face his companion. "We can revisit the honey idea when night falls, if I’m still sore," It was a promise, he was never really good at hiding things from Phantom’s pale eyes. He could see right through any ruse he put up. A fond smile crossed his lips, and he tipped his head towards a thin corpse of a fallen log. It was rotting with the bark peeling away, and he had no doubt that it was crawling with little critters. Did he want to go inspect that, or… His gaze locked onto a thicker patch of grass. Maybe there was a hare or two hiding in there? Peeking back at Phantom, he rose a single brow in an unspoken question. It was up to him where they went from here. With the hot sun beating down on his back, his fur was nearly dry already. They probably couldn’t do much, but… it was better than risking a bad sting.

As Eniko's guard and protector, Phantom can enter any thread no matter how it is marked.
