Kiriei blinked a few times, just to be sure she wasn't seeing things. But this was no mirage. As unbelievable as it seemed, they'd found a literal oasis in this dry dusty desert. Seeing fresh water so close, Kiriei could suddenly feel how thirsty she was. With a heave she pushed herself over the edge of the hill, sliding down it and controlling the fall with her back feet and tail. She reached the bottom and trotted over to the edge of the water, looking into the clear blue water. She could see her dark reflection shimmering on the top, but she could also adjust her eyes to look all the way down at the stony bottom. With just a short pause of thanks she dipped her snout into the water and drank, coming back up for air shortly after.<br/><br/>Kiriei smiled at Jerrar, letting her eyes speak for her relief and joy.
