it's all i know to do
Where else could she possibly have been headed?
Reaching the Lagoon some time after midnight she had excavated a small divot in which to sleep, her nose buried under her tail as exhaustion had finally overtaken her. Her deep and dreamless sleep was only interrupted by the heat of the sun on her dark pelt. When combined with the flames that still coursed under her skin it was stifling, itchy, dirty. If it was even possible, it seemed to be getting worse. Dismay was evident on her face while her muzzle wrinkled with disgust. How anyone could find this stink appealing was beyond her. It was gross and unnecessary. Surely there was a less traumatic way to broadcast ones fertility?
If only she could wash it off.
Peach eyes turned on the still frozen surface of the lagoon with trepidation. Even if the sheets of solid water didn't separate her would she dare risk it now she knew just what lurked beneath the murky surface? (surely Stevetta the sturgeon remembered their last encounter just as vividly as she did). In answer to her own silent question her head shook. No way, no how. She would leave water matters to those clueless and/or specialised. Catfish, sturgeons... they were all out to get her.
At least keeping her paws on solid ground was enough to escape from fish.
