A Diamond In The Rough

Tazzy was always happy to go and explore, especially if he was with Enki. Honestly, he was happy doing anything with the other man, but seeing new places with him was one of his favorite. Enki had heard of a place and Tazzy didn't need any other reason to want to see it. A little paradise? In the desert? He was in! Even if it wasn't so exciting on its own, he was happy as long as he was with Enki.

It was made even better by the fact that he was carried; his shorter stride meant nearly twice the amount of walking required to get there, but even though he was pretty small, he was sure Enki was paying a price by carrying the extra weight. He had already planned on making him a nice dinner in their new den, but as the arrived at the little oasis, Tazzy was starting to get other plans.

Back on his own paws, he looked around from the calm pool of water to the astoundingly tall palm trees in awe. It felt like a little beach, and he almost expected to see little starfish and hermit crabs in the warm sand. He turned back to Enki, a wide smile on his face. "It's beautiful! Like a little tropical paradise," he said and looked upwards towards the tops of the palm trees, wondering what it would be like if they were actually at a tropical beach paradise.
