Giggles filled the air as the adolescent fox darted through the crunchy grass along the edge of the riverbed, the clattering of pebbles clacking gently as she moved. Held tightly but delicately between her teeth was the string to a brilliantly twinkling paper lantern, the shadows of silent fireflies blinking through the thin blue mesh. The black furred cross fox had decorated herself with her favorite flowers, finally managing to successfully fix a truly beautiful looking daylily into her fur just behind her right ear. She sprung across the thinnest parts of the river, back and forth with all the energy of an overly energetic kit, watching from the corner of her eyes as her lantern rocked about. Her hindpaws splashed occasionally, when she didn't clear a jump all the way, but she didn't mind that - this was just a night to have fun! The twin-tailed vixen charged forward, taking a leap at a wider part of the river, yelping a little when her paws couldn't get a grip and her claws skittered furiously on the edge of the rocks she had intended to use a quick bound across. She slipped onto the solid bit of land, thankfully not dropping her precious lanter which remained clutched tightly with her teeth even as she slid forward, and her nose bumped into the toes of a being she was pretty sure wasn't there a moment ago. "Oof!" she squeaked through her teeth, turning her gaze up sheepishly. "Sorry! Didn't see ya there!" --- 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.
