Fancy Meeting You Here

Peregrine sulked, and glared at Tsiry. They both crouched by the water's edge, mostly obscured among the shoots of young cattails. Her coat was caked with mud and matted in some places, and had lost a bit of it's sheen. She was used to affecting a disheveled appearance, never having given it much thought before, but this was something else entirely. Tsiry blinked.

The lemur whirled on her, and before Peregrine knew it she was splashing through the shallows, trying her hardest to keep just out of reach. "Tsiry" |
