Bearclaw Valley with sincerity, there is virtue

Bummer. The photo won't load for me... hmmm... could you PM it to me? Sounds like a good idea

The pair had ventured deeper into the valley past the coarse boulder filled entrance and into their serene surroundings. 

The snowy female with charcoal dustings began to waver. First one step, then two... He walked closer to her in case she were to fall. Was it fatigue? Hunger? 

His thoughts interrupted as she turned to face him.'Kami-sama...' it was a sound she repeated often. A single pebble within the vast pool of language Drust was only shyly on the track toward understanding.

Following a nod she changed her directory and began to rummage through the foliage. Taking this as a moment of reprieve to set down her leaf pouch, he moved his jaw and tongue around very aware of the strange taste that lingered.

A slow grizzly walk to the river, lacking any hesitation as he placed his front paws within the water, and lowered his head to drink. His massive tongue bringing up buckets of water to quench his vast thirst.

Then he stopped. Feeling the motion underwater push against his forearms. Movement. Still, he lifted his eyes and watched as it approached.

A low roar followed by a large splash of water enveloped Drust... then quiet. He slowly backed out of the water and turned in the direction of his companion, a medium sized fish thrashing between his jawels.
