Some real trouble

She had left this morning after telling Faite she was going on an adventure. Of course she had promised to be back by bed time. She padded onward, not even trying to hide herself or her scent trail. Today found her going south to a place she could see across the desert from them. She trotted onto the shade of the land, panting from her jog across the land. She could hear the water in the underground cavern and trotted for it. Her pelt was dusty now from the dirt of the desert. She would need to wash it tonight when she returned unless she washed it here and returned by skirting the hot area.

She approached the water and didn't hesitate as she entered up to her belly into it. She dropped her head letting her tongue lapp up the water. It was cold from where it flowed down from the north but she didn't mind. It was extremely quiet here and she found that a slight bit unnerving but threw caution to the wind and smacked her front right leg into the water, creating an echoing splash.
