I want to buy a blind camel

The night had been another restless one. It wasn't something that I wasn't accustomed to. However, this one seemed different. The dream that I had the other day still replayed in my head... flashing images of something ablaze, watching the image of a tall castle pan upwards, the shadows of the trees played with the glow from the embers reflecting in the windows, and the cellar... That I didn't remember images of so much as I did just the feeling of it. Looming. Like something was watching me from the darkness that it incased. I stood frozen, with my eyes closed and my breathing labored, uneven.
"Woah.."
I breathed out and opened my eyes, blinking them in the morning light. The after images faded as the scene before my eyes came into focus. I had posted myself by this chilly source of water. That's right... I had almost forgotten. Shit. How many hours had it been since I had been here? Last night I know I wanted to head as far south as I could without straying too far from where I had set up shop to find something to get my machine running again. Maybe another field of sorts like the one I was at last week that was absolutely chock full of random parts, metals, and stray pieces. It was a long shot but it was one that I was willing to take. That is... unless I ran into - I huffed again, blood orange eyes darting quickly around the ground under my paws before bringing them back up to the sight of the water. It didn't matter... If it happened. It happened. And there was nothing I could do to stop it. I wasn't about to live my days in fear. "Phew..."
My maw opened gently to let out a sigh. Wait... I felt my nose twitch reactively to my breath. Ugh. Yep. That's morning breath. I rotated my shoulder stiffly.
"Ahh, shh -"
Yeah, I probably shouldn't have been leaning up against that rock for as long as I was. With a light groan a contemplated going for a drink, but just the thought of moving right now forced my body into a slump on the ground. A pile of fur that mixed with the grainy topography, spread out like a female in heat. I wanted to get some water in me, get some in my glass jar to bring back to my workstation, and get back to trying to find supplies but the sound of another voice threw my thoughts off track."Huh?"
I whispered, my head lifting off the ground, and searched for where the sound came from. Someone else was here? I stood back up and turned around to find the other being, leading my eyes to settle on another wolf that walked up to the pond for a drink. Weird. I guess I was so out of it last night that I - of course, I forgot to check the area. I'm sure at that hour a bear could have been sleeping here and knowing me I would have snuggled up next to it. 'Good looking. Ciel.'
I shook my head at myself before sitting back down and watching the scenario play out on the other side of the Oasis. Soon enough, another wolf came up out of the water and began calling out to the first one. Did they know each other? As they were talking I settled back down to relax on the floor. I didn't think I wanted to interfere with them just yet and would rather observe them from a distance.
"Speech"
