Twisted Slough And heart to heart you'll win, if you survive

The trees were familiar enough by being like home that Fennec relaxed some.  When she was moving slowly there was no real danger in them, and the roots that would trip her she simply felt and stepped over.  Despite her better judgement, she let her mind drift.... back to Figment and what she planned to do about things.

She noticed when the ground turned soggy and her spirits lifted.  Home!  She picked up her stride a little, but she was still sidetracked, a part of her mind not on the current.  So, while she heard the change in the rain ahead of her, she mistook the shift for just another terrain.  Instead, her paw hit air, and she flailed to catch herself. 

She'd hit a small bank that overlooked a river.  She wasn't going to recover, and in a moment she'd fall into the water.  With her heart pounding in her ears, she let out a startled sound. She had no clue how close or far her mom was.
