The bunny had seem so preoccupied that Elcid just knew she was about to be prancing back towards Zane with success between her jaws. So, when she pounced and missed, she was stunned not only from the impact of her face quite literally eating dirt, but also by the fact that she had missed! The impact of her face meeting ground was painful and had her groaning as her body landed in a slump on the ground. Her head came up quickly once her focus came back to and she quickly worked her tongue, making funny faces as she made an attempt to spit the dirt and gravel out from between her teeth and jaws. She tasted blood, but knew she had lost her hunt. Was it a missing tooth or had she bit her own tongue during the pounce? She didn't have time to worry about that. She had a rabbit to find and chase after! It was probably gone by now, but she had to try! She didn't want to eat dirt for nothing. There was suddenly a squeak beside Elcid. An unexpected squeak which seemed exceptionally loud to Elcid's jarred sense. It was enough of a startle to send Elcid into a shriek, nearly jumping out of her skin in the process as she whirled up and around on her paws. She saw the rabbit beside her, sitting there, staring at her after she had screamed. She had screamed because a rabbit had squeaked next to her she suddenly realized. "Oh. my. gods!" she exclaimed at the rabbit standing boldly in front of her. "Don't do that! That's how you give someone a heart attack! I mean, I wasn't scared of a rabbit. I was just playing! Anyways, you're supposed to be scared of me, not scaring me! Go! Run! Stop being cute! I'm supposed to be eating you, not talking to you, and it doesn't feel right when you're just staring at me and not-scaring me!" --- Speech. |
Muddy River
A wide ravine where a shallow, gentle river flows. Years of drought and silt deposits have built this area into a fertile delta. The river remains low and dry most of the year, staining its waters brown and creating muddy shores.
