the fruit looks so yummy...

It really was a delightful place here. His eyes manage to look around, exploring a bit as he chewed through the apple. Chunks of the fruit fall from his lips as spittle cover them. The grass was lush here, thick and very very green. From the sound of the birds, there were at least a few nesting couples hidden amongst the trees. If it were not for the strong canine scent blinding his nostrils, he would consider staying here permanently. Even the next tree over was quite inviting. Large, juicy pears hung from its branches, almost calling his name.

If it weren't for the hiss of Nuri at his shoulder, he would have gone over there. His ears flatten, nostrils flaring to hold back a sneeze as he turns to look at her. Confusion is on his face as he tries to blink away the itchiness. "It is nothing," Xurek demands, narrowing his goopy eyes at her before turning to amble over to the next tree. Plucking a ripe pear from the highest branch he could reach while still on four legs, he munches that as well. He notices that as long as he's chewing something, the coughing and sneezing it held at bay.

"This nuisance inflicts me every year," he rumbles in an annoyed tone as if he couldn't be bothered to indulge her sympathetic nature. Finishing his pear with one last itchy swallow, Xurek looks around once more. "Do you think there are oranges here too?" He questions more to himself than to Nuri.
