She imagined spring always influenced the amount of rainfall to some degree. Whether you be in a desert or a tundra, surely you would notice some difference. However, this was beginning to look like something she had never seen before, originating from northern territories herself. While it wasn’t coming down in sheets, the drizzle was consistent. It saturated her coat, influencing it to cling to her feminine frame. And based on what she was observing around her, the desert had a difficult time handling the influx of water as well. There was simply nothing here to soak any of it up- with only the weathered rock to guide it into channels that she was sure found their end in the ocean in one way or another.

Not that there was much difference between the high ground versus the low ground in this particular area. She thought until she was more sure she wasn’t in danger, it would be good to be cautious.
