Qeya River Drop a heart, break a name.

She was almost there. The excitement danced in her stomach and gave her the energy to keep moving even though she was exhausted. When the smell of the river entered her nose, she was overcome with almost unbearable thirst. When was the last time she stopped to drink? She honestly couldn't remember. She had been so focused on reaching her destination, that she had been constantly on the move for the last twenty-four hours at least. Dammit, she needed to be more careful. Sometimes, she could become so enthralled in a mission that she forgot to do simple tasks...like stopping to fucking drink. 

Taki pretty much sprinted to the water's edge, and gulped down mouth-fulls of water, not even caring that it was ice cold. The cold actually felt soothing to the dry throat she didn't even know she had until the water touched it. When she had had taken in as much liquid as her stomach could handle, she sat back on her haunches and sighed in relief. Right then, she promised herself that on her way back, she would be more diligent about taking care of her basic needs. Mostly because it would be fucking embarrassing if she died of something like dehydration because she forgot to stop and drink. She rolled her eyes and shook her head at the her own stupidity.
