New places & New Faces

Chade and Ricin had been sticking around the steppe for a bit longer than some other places.  It had certain useful aspects to it, for one thing, there was a good source of water both for drinking and fishing.  Sometimes Chade was able to hunt and get them meat but when he failed it meant they resorted to fish.  Chade had gotten pretty good at plucking the fish out of the water and while he preferred meat whatever got them to the next day was good enough.  It also seemed a lot rarer to see sick fish than sick land animals.

They had fish prior to both their sleep time and so it would be time to hunt again soon but not yet.  For now, they could take some time to explore the strange blocks of stone.  The rocks here were shaped differently than others.  Some of the rocks stood as straight and tall as tree’s while others lay on the ground but had a similar shape to the ones standing.  It had Chade imagining some large animal just knocking some of them over.  Chade was the darker blue of the two pups with some brighter blue highlights at points, along with denser fur around the coat and crested a bit of mohawk like pattern towards the forehead.

Chade was letting his brother lead on this little exploration.  Ricin had a problem with peripheral vision and he loved exploring the most so it made good sense that he take the lead while Chade watched for any danger behind them.  The two boys were around six months of age now and getting solid habits of what to do so that they could survive.  Each day was about surviving it so that they could attempt to survive tomorrow as well.  

“Hey, Ry,” Chade mused to his lighter-toned blue brother, “what do you think happened to the weird rocks anyway?” Ricin liked telling stories after all so maybe his imagination had an answer for this, or at least something entertaining.
