toe out of line

Raisa came upon the russet male quite suddenly. The boulders that marked her new homeland were the only shade around, but even then the air was painfully still, oppressively stifling. Every step for the dark fae felt as though she swam through mud, and the air sucked any and all moisture from her throat. It was miserable to say the least, yet this man seemed worse off, by far. She wondered how long he had been out, where he had come from. True, he was trespassing, but in the face of death Raisa could not confront him, nor leave him. With a sigh called out. "Wait here, stranger. I'll be back in just a moment." The boulder field, Raisa had deduced, had been left by a scourge of glaciers from an age long past. They had retreated northward once more, but the boulders marked their path. A sage had told her once that glaciers left their mark in more ways than this, that often gravel pits were left far below the surface of the earth. Water pooled there, and in time rose upwards.

It would certainly explain the rare, but precious springs that dotted her territory. They had been keeping her pack alive, thus far. Raisa made her way towards one such spring now. She came to it's banks and frowned. The pools were growing smaller day by day. Soon water would become a precious, rare commodity. He's dying... The little voice in her head irked her, but she sighed. Her land was rich in two things: Boulders and moss. Raisa raked up a clump of the latter, and took it gingerly into her mouth. She dunked the clump into the pool, soaking up as much as she could. It would hopefully retain enough to aid the beleaguered trespasser. With a sigh and internal glare at the angel on her shoulder, Raisa loped back to the boulder she had left him at. Little appeared to have changed, and she deposited the soaked moss at his paws. "Drink, and when you're done, tell me why you've ventured onto my lands." Her pack was only a howl away, if need be...
