Backdated an IC week from this thread.
It was hot.
Far, far too hot. Bordering on sweltering, even. It was enough for Murgrind's maw to hang open, spent far too long in the 'sweltering' heat of these gilded woods for their own good. From that heat, she's made only hungrier, ink-black eyes half-squinting. It's a little maddening, now, feeling the ball of warmth ball up in her chest, fruitlessly expulsed from her maw with every ragged pant. It's too much, all at once, and Murgrind all but gives up. They can smell that cool scent of water wafting through the air, sucking in a deep breath as she adjusts her waddling.
It's perhaps fifteen minutes of walking for her to approach that lovely waterhole, bracing her paws as she awkwardly moves down a steep bank to sink her front paws into that deliciously cool water. To any other eyes, a massive white shape has bustled out of a bit of golden shrubbery, sinking herself into the cool water to the best of her ability. Immediately, do her lips find the dark, rippling surface, gulping down immense mouthfuls of water.
