dungeons and dragons

"Hopefully it's not poisonous," Regulus shared all casual-like. Behati's eyes widened, bouncing between the water she had just licked and her companion's face. As if on cue, her stomach made a sickly rumbling noise, pulling the girl's ears and tail close to her body. "Uhh-h.. I guess.. we find out!" she responded. There was a second rumble, and an ominous clenching feeling in the pit of her stomach. It was more likely that Regulus was to blame for planting the seed of fear, but Behati's mind could not differentiate between poison and the thought of it - the third rumble was definitely audible. Behati disappeared down the tunnel like a shot before the sound could peak, taking her unpredictable gut into the depths of the cave. "LAST ONE TO THE BOTTOM IS A LION TURD!"

When Regulus emerged next to the vast underground space that fed off the streams of blue water, Behati was nowhere to be seen.
