the lake and my dreams - Heath - June 23, 2025
AW! maybe looking for some RHC folks!
the lake was warm. warmer than it had any right to be, and heathcliff was exactly where he belonged: halfway submerged, head tilted back on a smooth rock like it was carved for him by the gods, or whoever was watching, themselves.
his tail flicked lazily in the shallows. droplets glinted like stars across his flanks, catching the sun where the water beaded in the tufts of fur along his shoulders. he gave a long, satisfied sigh, tongue lolling as he squinted up at the sky.
if i die here, let it be known i died beautiful,he announced to no one in particular.
a frog croaked somewhere. that felt like agreement.
he kicked his hind leg in a lazy arc, stirring a swirl of sediment and darting minnows. his grin stretched wide. summer had always been his season. something about the heat, the ease of it. no need for wariness or deep thoughts. just sunshine, cool water, and the occasional snack (or admirer).

It would be a while yet before the sun set, though it had begun its slow descent toward the horizon, its warm glare burnishing the caldera’s western slope. Towhee’s eyes narrowed against it as she finished a rather routine circuit. She was eager to call it a wrap, grab a bite to eat and head back to the Hobbit Hole. The pups’ eyes would open any day now and she didn’t want to miss it.
But she couldn’t ignore the figure she saw lurking in the shallows of Lake Rodney over yonder. Well aware that he wasn’t technically infringing on the Redhawks’ claim, the overly protective elder still wanted to discourage lurkers. She strode straight toward the lakeshore, eyes even more squinted as her tail swept upward in a rigid hook over the slope of her aging spine.
She ground to a halt inches from the water, blunt claws digging into the soft silt underfoot as Towhee said,
Hey there, will you do me a favor?

thanks for joining, kat! :D
heathcliff had just been dunking his head under the surface again, trying to see if fish blinked—jury’s still out—when the sudden scrape of approaching paws made him spring up with a splash, ears pricked and grin already in place. he shook the water from his fur like a very soggy bird and blinked at the voice, warm sunlight catching in the ripple of his wet ruff.ma’am!he greeted brightly, as if that alone might grant him some charm points. his tail wagged, thumping once, twice.
what can i do for you, ma’am? swear i wasn’t lurking—unless we count lurking for good vibes. you caught me at a terrible time though, i look way cooler when i’m dry.
he straightened, puffing his chest slightly, though it was hard to look dignified with half his wet fur stuck to his face.
hit me. favor time!

You may have spoken too soon. ;P
Her expression remained unreadable as the stranger turned toward her with an affable greeting. She didn’t care much for being called “ma’am,” though Towhee didn’t react other than to narrow her eyes a little more. He reminded her of a teenager, though even with the water slicking down his fur, she would’ve clocked him at at least three years old.
My pack has been hit with an infestation of fleas,Towhee said.
It’s been an itchy mess. I’ve been taking flea dips in this lake every day and I think it’s helping. But now…She paused, appearing to steel herself.
Well, now I’m itching in a more… delicate place. I’m worried I might have a tapeworm. I actually think,she went on, pausing for effect,
I’m pretty sure I can feel it wriggling out of me right now. Would you mind checking for me…?
