To The Grande

As the chilly water rehydrated his dry and parched frame, he sought the same relief for his mouth by thrusting his muzzle headlong into the depths. Holding his breath and instinctively blowing air out of his nose to keep from drowning, the man gulped up as much water as he could. His face emerged from the water, dripping and soaked, but refreshed nonetheless. A smile broke across his lips as he turned to see her, standing there and grinning at him. As she spoke her command, Gerhardt let out a jubilant laugh and then trotted toward her. No matter how tired he was, he would always come to her side. A sigh left his lips as he came near her, noting that the pups were not present. She must've told them to wait back for a minute. That was good, as they really did have a few things to discuss, the first of which would be where in the world they were going to find shelter. But that could wait for a moment. He rubbed his cheek against hers and then rocked back onto his haunches in front of her. My love, His eyes sparkled as he spoke, his words taking a deep and machismo tone. I know you and the pups must be exhausted, we've been traveling for so long now. He paused, wondering just how much more their little 'family' could take. This part of the continent seems untouched by the volcanic activity, perhaps it will be suitable for us to settle down here.. at least for a day or two.

His eyes focused farther off behind her, to the hill which hid the pups from his view. He knew they would be alright, and he would be sure not to leave them alone for long. Besides, there wasn't any sign of life around here besides the fish. Gerhardt's mind wandered to the fish, they would be a decent enough meal, and he was a good enough fisher to catch plenty of food for today.. but fish would grow old after a while. Soon enough they would have to move again. What's on your mind, Adette? She had gone through so much lately, he as well - but not nearly as much as she. She had been so brave through all of this, Gehardt was sure it had to be taxing on her mind. He wanted to be sure she wasn't bottling everything up. Their plan had seemed so glorious just weeks before, when they'd been two against the world. But now.. now they were carrying the weight of taking care of three innocent lives. Gerhardt didn't blame the pups, they had really had no part in the agreement, but at the same time he missed when it was just he and Adette. It had been simpler then.
