Feeling Hot, Hot, Hot!

Here he was again, back at the hot springs just beyond the safety of the mangrove. Mask firmly in place on his head, and Bug clinging to the back of his neck. The young male wasn't satisfied with his last trip, and now he was back to see what else he might find there. Breaking through the treeline, the bright light of day cast upon the opalescent sheen of the slick stones. He wondered to himself if the ground here was limestone, but the colour wasn't quite right. There was a strange hint of fumes in the air, barely noticeable. He hadn't been paying as much attention before, but now that he was drinking it all in he wondered how safe these pools actually were. The steam was broken up with rays of light, though the thin cover hung quite low over the water today. This gave him an unobstructed view from the edge of the trees, and this was how he noticed the large auburn canine at the summit of the pools. The figure wasn't quite right to be a wolf, but it certainly wasn't a fox, despite those large ears. Some of the colouring matched up with a fox, but the tail was so short. Cautiously, he scented the air for more clues. There was none of the distinct musk that came from a male, and the overall scent was more canine than anything. A female of.. some kind.. perhaps. "Back, turn back." Bug croaked anxiously into his ear, crawling along the nape of his neck to avoid raising his voice and drawing attention from the much larger creature. With a snort, the swamp dweller took a few steps forward. He wasn't certain he needed to be afraid, not quite yet. Who or whatever she was, she seemed just as interested in the scenery and landscape as he was. " 'ey," he barked, taking a few more steps towards the incline between the half-moon pools. "find anything cool around here?" |
