Heron Lake Plateau You want a light saber?

Under different circumstances, the four wolves hobbling drunkenly together toward the lake might have been a hilarious sight. As it was, it was stressful and hot, and the whole time Raven was terrified that Towhee might drop dead right in front of them, or go into convulsions or shock. Thankfully, no such misfortune befell their sister, and they made it to the lake with Towhee more or less on her own four feet.

The water felt wonderful to Raven, who didn't have a single white hair on her body to provide any relief from the sun's relentless heat. She was relieved when Towhee began to perk up after some time in the water. She was extra watchful in those moments, her senses on high alert for any signs of further complication -- unusual behavior, for example, or slurred speech, that sort of thing -- but luckily, the only side effect she could see was the vomit that had interrupted Towhee mid-sentence. As her weakened sister moved to shallower water, Raven splashed the half-digested goop further out into the lake with one of her forelegs before returning to Towhee's side. "It's looking like she'll be okay," she answered Orca, glad to have had her and Fiadh's help with all of this. "She's very lucky you two found her. Heat poisoning is extremely dangerous, and it can sneak up on you if you aren't careful. Particularly if you have dark fur." She cast a meaningful look at Orca as she said that last bit, hoping that she would learn something from this and remember to keep herself safe in the hot summer days to come. "If you ever start feeling excessively hot, thirsty, and dizzy, find water immediately, okay guys?"
