====================================================================A young female trotted through the area, looking around. The female's fur was black, fading to a dark red on her paws, tail tip and muzzle. She also had some dark red stripes on her back, and her claws were bright red, as well as her eyes. There was also an odd, undescribable marking on her body that couldn't quite be made out, though it made her black fur brighter in some areas, and the stripes darker. She yawned a bit, her hooked fangs showing for a minute. She soon stopped and jumped up onto the water trough, sitting down on the side and looking around. She watched the bushes for any signs of movement, and also kept an eye out for any predators. After a while, she barked quietly, and a dark blue and black pup ran out of the bushes, without stopping jumping up onto the trough beside the female and cuddling up against her, hugging her front leg tightly.

◘Sommai Daosavanah◘ The more you sweat in peacetime The less you bleed during war I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut, my weakness is that I care too much. And my scars remind me that the past is real. I tear my heart open, just to feel. I'm drunk and I'm feeling down, and I just wanna be alone. I'm pissed cause you came around, why don't you just go home? Cause you channeled all your pain, and I can't help you fix yourself, you're making me insane, all I can say is: I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut, my weakness is that I care too much. And my scars remind me that the past is real. I tear my heart open, just to feel. Scrape, tap, scrape, tap, scrape tap- Thud! The rythmic sound of sand shifting and footsteps falling ended suddently with a dull thud and splash of golden brown sand, the loose soil absorbing the blunt of the sound. The loose sand dusted over the center souce of that sound, a figure, now laying face down in the sand. That figure was a creature, who standed out boldly against the sand, no sense of comoflauge for one who lives in such a dangerous area. The being sat up slowly, sand falling back to the ground by the movment. It shook it's fur, sending anotehr spray of sand to the ground. It then stood up on wobbly legs, the shaking that rivited its body showing the rason why it had fallen when walking, tripping over it's own feet. The figure was obviously that of a male, though it was very thin, probably underweight by lack of a substantial foraging ground, being a loner and all. Frame was lean, built for agility, though in his current state he'd be lucky just to run away. His body was marred over by scars, many scars, crossing over eachother in a horrible criss-crossing pattern. They seemed old, but still very, very real. His pelt was horribly colored for the area, making him stand out like a sore thumb, his pelt a very, very fair blonde, appearing white in the right sunlight. An albino creature, that was obvious. Even his eyes were a dull shade of rose red, another sign of the albino's desease it carried. His black claws dug into the loose sand, as if there was a way to get a grip on the ground and keep his form stable. But he found none, so the lone figure continued forward, forcing it's shakey form to move.
Too long... there was such a thing as walking for too long without rest. He knew that better than anyone, that was edvident. The body couldn't go long without food, an even shorter time for water. But, that's why he was here now. He had heard from anotehr he passed that there was an old water trough up this way, and he came to investigate the possibility of the sweet fluid of life. He needed it, that was for sure. That's what led him here now. But if he didn't find it soon he was just going to let this idea go... Though of course, right before he was going to, he saw the old rusty trough before him, and he sighed relief. If tehre was anyone else there, he was too tired to notice them at the time though. Now, if he could get up there without falling... The male forced his shakey form up to the edge of the trough, positioning himself on the edge and leaning over to drink. The cold water cooled his body and eased quite a bit of the pain he felt. He felt a lot better now, he thought vaugely, this was good. He'd be able to walk once again with no problem now. He didn't plan on stopping to eat, he didn't have that kind of time, but for now, with would work. With that thought in mind, he continued to drink from the trough. I tried to help you once, against my own advice. I saw you going down, but you never realized that you were drowining in the water, so I offered you my hand, compassions in my nature, tonight is my last stand. I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut, my weakness is that I care too much. And my scars remind me that the past is real. I tear my heart open, just to feel. I'm drunk and I'm feeling down, and I just wanna be alone. you should have never come around, why don't you just go home? Cause your drowing in the water, and I tried to grab your hand, I left my heart open, but you didn't understand! (Go fix yourself!)

Keeper had heard the male fall, and hadn't taken her eyes off him since. Being as protective as she was, she was immediately infront of Raptor, watching the male silently. After a minute, and tapped Rapotr's head with her tail and trotted towards the trough, jumping up a bit away from the male. "Hello.." She said quietly.

And my scars remind me that the past is real. I tear my heart open, just to feel. The male instinctivley tensed at the sound of a voice near him, his claws curling together and scraping loudly against the trough. His eyes slowly traveled up along with his head to look at the female. Her examined her odd colorings for a moment, the dark raven black of her pelt, and blood red paws, muzzle, stripes and tail. She had red eyes as well, he noted vaugely. He was too clouded of mind to take in much about her apperance other than those basic details though, he only looknig at her for a vauge moment. Eventually he spoke, though his voice was a bit hoarse at the time, "I apologize, am I bothering -- you?" He asked, his speech punctuated by a short bout of coughing. He tried to will teh cough down as he awaited an answer. He would drink something to stop it, but that would be rude while speaking. When he coudl think straight, he tried to be poliet to others I tried to help you once, against my own advice.

Keeper narrowed her eyes a bit and sat down. "No, I just.. Just wanted to make sure you weren't a threat or anything.." She shrugged a bit.

He sighed and growled under his breath, though not in a threatening way, at her statement, "Trust me, at the time I'm a threat to no one but myself." He muttered, bending down and taking another drink from the trough I tried to help you once, against my own advice.

The male shuddered slightly and stopped his action, a little denerved by the fact he was being watched by the other, though it was only to be expected. Without looking back up he replied, "You would be correct." He agreed monotoneously I tried to help you once, against my own advice.

And my scars remind me that the past is real. I tear my heart open, just to feel. The male now looked up at the other female, watching her for a moment, deciding it to be wise to reply or not. He never was an easy trusting person, if it wasn't obvious enough. Trusting someone just gives them a chance to rip you apart. He was a good example of that, it was how he got all those scars. "... Hn, I'm just walking around. It's been a while since I had the chance to get something to drink so I thought I'd stop, yes." He confirmed with a slight nod. "I'll be gone soon, don't fret." He added I tried to help you once, against my own advice.

Keeper giggled. "I wasn't asking to know when you were gonna be leaving.. I was just wondering." She yawned a bit and layed down on the trough, though she still watched him. "Mhh.. you look like your hungry too."

And my scars remind me that the past is real. I tear my heart open, just to feel. Ah yes, true she hadn't asked, he thought vaugely. But, he felt the need to say anyway, since usually such questions did lead to such things. Despite being watched, the male just nodded slightly and leaned back down to take another drink from the trough. He was doing to just as the female posed another question. No, not a question, more like a statment that made him stop for a moment. He replied simply, "I have no idea what you're talking about." He said, before gonig back to his earlier actions I tried to help you once, against my own advice.

It wasn't meant to be rude, but he was slightly annoyed by the statment. It took a lot to get him to express his annoyance, but this was something that easily did. He hated either being underestimated, or having others underestimate his ability to take care of himself. The female may have just been trying to be kind, but with how he was, he easily looked past that idea nd took it offensivly as always I tried to help you once, against my own advice.
