Hideaway Strath Moon Song

Lucky for Fig another type of salvation arrived;

But only in the form of a hulking beast surely planning to eat him.

Not even recognizing the stranger till he was dead center, the yearling was startled by the sudden presence, stumbling backward at the close proximity and falling to his hocks amidst wheezing pants.

"Water-" he croaked. "Water." he didn't have the right mind to comment on the endearing name given, nor offer any sort of important conversation starters. The boy was so young—just out of puphood and barely learning social skills. It didn't occur to him that the beast afront may have been part of a pack. Maybe he was a stranger.

Maybe he knew where water was.
