Rosewater Oasis red desert dunes

As he anticipated, the sunworshipper was distracted enough by his nonsense to turn her attention to him- and simultaneously, Widower understood his thinly veiled invitation. Suffocating their first trespasser right in the Oasis waters was something they would both enjoy, no matter how macabre it might seem. In that moment, he gained three things- the coyote's name, a renewed kinship with Widower, and the fancy title of lunatic. No doubt some reference to the moon, which in this case he would embrace simply to spite the wolf who so loved the sun. 

Widower rushed the woman who had stood her ground, allowing both coyfolk to draw closer. Tumbleweed followed suit, aiming to push Meridian further into the water.
