Across the Barren Dunes, my love

Aoto quickly devoured his fill before turning his attention to his mate. Her injuries were to be his focus now as he laid next to her and began to lick her legs and ears, making sure to not miss a spot before licking Tallulah's muzzle. She was going to be his number one priority and his own life was to be second. With what they were going through now, he knew that Tallulah would be a good mother for when and if they are able to have pups of their own. He was going to make sure now that they would have a home soon as well however even if Tallulah didn't agree with having a home in the avian estuary, Aoto believed that they could live anywhere so long as he was with her.



Aoto seen his mate finish eating her fill of the carcass and could feel her loving lick which got him to smile. He would begin to tear into what was left of it his dusty brown fur becoming blotted with blood which didn't bother him. Aoto felt a little better knowing that they had at least a little bit of food but it wasn't going to be something to last them long. They had to move, perhaps they could go to the Avian Estuary, the place where he had met Ashtoreth and Vaishya. There was water and a source of food there sure mostly birds but they wouldn't have to starve out here in a desert though. He wanted to make it official that they would be mates for life, Aoto wanted to take her someplace there in the avian estuary, somewhere that could be a sanctuary for them to live. He had to ask her "Would you mind if we went to the Avian Estuary, my love, there is something there I want to show you?" he smiled as he licked her muzzle again.
