Well, I'd be a doggamn liar If I said this ain't a lonely town

She hummed in agreement, she wouldn't be surprised if her own cream fur let the sun give her any sunburns. Morwenna followed her new acquaintance a half step behind her, she wanted to get out of this scorching heat herself and Rivin seemed to know which direction to try to find relief.

Suddenly while Rivin was talking she was no longer beside Morwenna and the small wolfdog bounced back with a fluid motion as the sinkhole grew beside her and took the darker wolf with it.
"Rivin?" She called, worried, was it a long way down?
She perked up her pointed ears as Rivin called out from below.
She giggled as she peered over the edge, "Well done!" It didn't look too far, hopefully getting back out wasn't going to be too difficult.

Morwenna joined the other girl with a graceful leap and landed softly on the pile of sand, making another cascade follow her down. She spied a tumbled wall with large stones, perhaps what held the roof up long ago, they made a convenient stepping stone tower back up to the surface.

She looked around the room they had found and saw natural pillars and walls of pale stone around them. The cave was an excellent find! The hole Rivin fell through was probably an old one and just got covered over by the dune overhead.

"We can rest easy here! Once the sun starts going down the sagebrush starts to smell the strongest. We can follow that scent, it'll be hard to miss." She daintily settled into a pile of sand and wrapped her wispy tail around her paws to wait out the day.
