The large males eyes were drawn to another figure in the distance. Pale with a bit of darker areas from what he could make out. It seemed to him that if the Oasis were but an Illusion that he had not been the only one drawn to it. He would not be distracted from his goal as he trod further down the the side of the sandy dune which helped to keep the Oasis from view save for those who traveled so far. And while he was hot from the heat of the day, he would do naught else but take a sip once he reached it. Having seen that water was a scarcity in the area he chose not to take a dip. While it might have helped to cool him, he rather believed others needed the water much more than himself.

Thus he continued toward the water, picking up his pace from a gentle stroll to a quicker paced trot. The air that it caused to swirl around him smoothed through his fur until he came to a stop at the edge of the water. Instead of drinking, he waited for the other figure to approach - were it to actually be someone and not a figment of his mind.
