It seemed he wouldn't make it back to his skimmer. The days walk searching out the area for the odd life signs had taken him further than he expected. This portion of tunnels as unfamiliar to him. He had been popping in and out from different caves on the mountain trying to avoid the suns at peak for most of the day.<br/><br/>Yuuriet was expected to return a few days ago but he'd communicated he'd found some interesting plant life he wanted to collect before coming back. The real issue was his cycle had come to maturity a little sooner than he expected.  Once this small issue was settled he'd head back.  He was going to release his eggs in the cave and then scout out the last stretch of forest before leaving sometime later in the week. With the lake in the cave behind him it would be a quiet vacation. He had not timed his cycle properly and then couldn't deny his turn at a survey trip based on his egg cycle.  He knew they weren't fertile anyway. He had been too busy with work for such things, for now he'd find a nice spot in the cave in the water and see if the eggs would come out today or tomorrow. Right now he wasn't sure.<br/><br/>"Feels like two or three." he mumbled to himself, holding his tummy as he reentered the cave.  Just as he was about to settle in the water he felt the vibrations of something approaching. It was still a few miles off, but in the opposite direction of his skimmer. "Tash." he cursed with a faint whistle and turned back towards the signal he could sense.<br/><br/>He walked carefully keeping on the shady side of the mountain relieved the sun would go down soon. His kind didn't see well in full sunlight, but it was evening and a over cast day.  His senses could pick up more and more as he drew nearer to the other being.  It made sounds and electric rhythms he'd never heard or felt before. The thin grey hairlike barbels around his ears lifted slightly to gather more information both excited and cautious about who or what he'd find. He gripped the amplifier at his hip, not wanting to actually use it should this being be hostile. Thankfully there seemed to be one or two. He stepped carefully hoping it was only one, but the pressure in his groin slowed his steppes. " Of all times why now?.." he stepped further into the brush in search of another cave opening. Find a small rather shallow one much too close to the animal path he'd seemed to be walking on he shimmied inside and held his stomach.<br/><br/>There was just enough room to crouch on hands and knees, the perfect position to release once he unlatched his pants from around his tail and slid them down.  His vent was swollen and ready. From the trail the grey and blue of his tunic and hair were just barely visible, but his mind was completely consumed with dropping the first egg.
