I wanted so badly to be brave

Sota nearly gulped when they reached the edge of the expanse of dense woodland they'd been navigating through. He paused at the edge of a tree branch, peering down into the deep ravine below. It wasn't like they always traveled in the treetops - they just did it as much as they possibly could, when it was feasible - but when they traveled by land they both seemed more comfortable doing it by the cover of night.
But currently it was broad daylight, and they were both growing thirsty. Well, Desota was, and he could only assume Balsam was feeling similarly. It'd been a dry day thus far and there was little moisture left clinging to the leaves above, which only meant one thing.. they've had to find somewhere to stop for a drink. Not that he presumed they'd be lucky with that task here, of all places... the ravine below looked quite dry and not all that welcoming.
Sota paused and licked his lips, leaping onto a branch closer to Balsam and gauging his expression. "So," he started carefully, sniffing gingerly at the air. Of course, they couldn't fully tell if anyone was nearby from this high up, but it was worth a shot. "What d'you think of this place, Balsam? Worth checking out?" He hoped his voice didn't betray his nervousness but he was sure it did, and Balsam would know regardless, but he was trying.
