Lake Rodney put on a pretty little number, i'm wearing you still

today's exploring was done, once again, without the company of alya, lyra, or hydra. which was fine, terance didn't need anyone. he could keep himself entertained and that was all he needed. but, he was sort of bored. his only solution to his bored meandering was merely to wander further, and so his scouting eventually took him to that lake outside of the caldera. he remembered stopping there for a drink before being crudely shut-down by some garbage wolf. whatever. but then, his experience with the lake changed completely.

from a small ways off terance spotted the ashy-coated female. he paused altogether at first, murmuring a soft "sarah..." before beginning to pad faster towards her. his paws picked up pace, faster and faster until he couldn't help but exclaim as loud as he could, "SARAH!!" he couldn't believe his eyes, she was roughly the same size, had all those pretty grays that sarah had. it was her! he'd found her! she was alive and safe and made it to the teekon wilds. he could take her to moonspear and-- he skidded to a halt. this wasn't sarah.

he bit his lip, slinking down in clear embarrassment and a sudden urge to maybe cry a little bit, when no one was watching. this wasn't sarah, sarah wasn't here. she wasn't safe, and she wasn't going to come back to moonspear with him. his heart sank. he only prayed this wolf would just shrug it off and leave.
