Ice Cubes and Broken Spouts

Natha's gaze returned to the strange, deep pool of water. She paced around the edge as she tried to get a closer look but she also didn't want to fall in. The water smelt strange, a little bit like sulphur. She leaned down and sniffed at it before wrinkling her nose. Lyulf caught up with her and reaching out a paw he slapped the water. Her ears flicked forward as she gazed at him then back at the water. Nothing happened. Ok, so there were no strange glowing creatures in there. "Huh, maybe it's just a big hole in the ground that filled up with water over time? It smells a bit… I don't know, like minerals? Like sulphur?"

Her gaze turned upward again as she analyzed the clouds. Cirrus clouds were a good sign. It meant the next 24 hours would be fair weather for the most part, maybe even the next 48 hours. That would make for good travel. She glanced back to Lyulf who was slapping the water again and she grinned. "Well, I take it it doesn't burn then, that's a good sign." There was a nice breeze going, coming down from the north, clear and cool. It looked like it was going to be a nice day. She bent her head to drink it but immediately recoiled. "Ew, yuck! It tastes weird."
