Beru had fallen asleep comfortably last night soaking in spring's cool night air on the edge of the whistling willows under the comfort of one of the many trees. His dreams were welcomed and sweet until they... well, until they weren't. The last of which he could remember being something about his paws staying wet for too long and becoming fish. It was only a dream, but it gave the male enough clarity to note that one of the worst possible things that could ever happen to him would be for him to have trout feet, and it was enough to shake him wide awake.
He supposed the dream probably came with the rain that had made it's way into the willows, thoroughly saturating every inch of his body while he snoozed and causing him extreme irritation now that he was awake. Wanting relief, Beru found his way to the gorge and clambered his way inside with a shiver and slowly but carefully started to explore. He wondered if Wari had found her way here and that's why he hadn't seen her in a couple of days. The thought was troublesome and only added mental discomfort to his physical discomfort. Would he ever even see his sister again if that were the case? This place seemed huge. She'd definitely get lost travelling all alone somewhere like this.
No, not even Wari was stupid enough to think she could navigate a gorge without help, right? Surely she wasn't anywhere near here. But the fact that it had been a couple of days since they parted did make the boy wish he'd of listened to what she was talking about for once the last time they were together. Admittedly he was starting to worry.
