Qeya River nivaktuk

don't need to make this a thread if it's too old for you, can always be just a cameo :) 

the riverwater was cold cold cold upon hisher tongue as shehim lapped frigid mouthfuls, sating hisher thirst and restoring the hunger herhis hurting throat had nearly made himher forget. it wasn't until herhis mouth grew numb that shehim lifted hisher eyes colour of dark maple syrup to the other shore, not expecting to see anything besides more trees trees trees-

there was an animal on the other bank. it was big big big, but not as big as bearmoosecat shehe feared most. it was white, like the snow, and ragged looking like roadkill you see up ahead but aren't yet sure what killed it.

the runner dog stepped away from the water, licked hisher whiskers to collect the last drops of it for the journey. when shehe was on ground more solid and less likely to give under hisher meager weight, shehe made hisher muscles ready to do what heshe was bred to.

and run run run.
