Noctisardor Bypass i wish i could say hello

@Illecebra and/or @Mawk

With her fur all poofed and prim, Cuicatl felt as though she looked like a million bucks. She sashayed proudly around the borders, humming a song to herself as she marked the fresh line with her own scent. Her ears remained cupped and alert, should anyone wander by, but she was overall relaxed and open to conversation, especially with one of her packmates.

A bend came around where the soil had been turned to mush, allowing Cuicatl's paw to sink in up to the joint. She cried out in disgust and yanked her forearm back, shaking away the mud. She had just come from bathing, and now she would have to go back! She decided that she would finish her current round before heading back to the pond, though she slowly began to feel more sluggish with the added insecurity.
