The multitude of stories her father has told her about wildlife of the Falteen forest has bled together over the years - though, there remains this nagging feeling somewhere in the back of her head that he warned her about something like this...something he'd encountered only twice in his many years...something that could be dangerous....<br/><br/>Oh well. It's not important. After all, two times...?</div></div></div><br/><br/>Sherani's skill at survival allows her to not only build a shelter that would put even the most well-crafted tent to shame, it also allows her to find a very small stream nearby, the bubbling brook offering up a clean source of running water. The water itself appears to be heavily filtered by the rocky bottom, and when Sherani's hand dips into it the first time, it sends a little cold chill up her spine - this stuff was FREEZING! No doubt, further upstream, it was fed by an underground spring. Still, one taste was enough to wash away the fatigue of the day - fresh, slightly sweet tasting water! One couldn't ask for more.<br/><br/>In addition, a bit of extra prep time allows Sherani to cover up a good portion of their campsite from outside eyes, only further making the camping spot ideal - easily protected, and very well concealed.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Sherani's check adds a +5 to the 'favorable roll' for nightly encounters.</div></div></div><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> Lilium </span><br/><br/>Lilium's tent was simple to set up - it was something she'd done numerous times during her travels on the roads with Rak. Normally, Rak was not exceptionally helpful during the actual setting up of the tent, but beforehand he helped enough by scraping the ground, making sure it was level and there were no bumps to disturb them during the night.<br/><br/>With the tent erected, Rak slips inside with Lilium, leaving Sherani and Ureck to their own vices for the night. Watch was the last thing on his mind - after all, they'd slept like this a hundred times before with no watch, and things had gone just perfectly.<br/><br/>Lilium's invitation is instantly taken, and within a matter of seconds, Rak is snuggling in tightly against her side, his soft, warm body squeezed as tightly against her own as he could possibly get.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic"> ~ Ahhhh....a bit of relaxation after a long day of rest. Tough carrying around an orc all day. Still...it was worth it. ~</span><br/><br/>Rak lifts his muzzle and snuggles it tightly against the crook of Lilium's neck, his long, slender tongue softly flicking over the soft fur of her throat. A soft little 'murr' wells up inside of his chest, content that - at least for the moment - he was alone with the only one in the world that mattered to him. His tongue slides it's way playfully up the side of her neck, over her cheek, and finally runs a single time over Lilium's lips, a devious little gleam in her companion's eyes.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~ That was a big tiger today. Feeling better now...?~</span>Throwing one of his paws over Lilium's belly, he gives her a soft, playful little push, causing what very little remained of her noontime meal to slosh inside of her tummy<span style="font-style: italic">~ I wonder what the forest is like? Ooo...I bet there are mice everywhere in the forest! We should stop by!! I bet I can catch a cartload of them!!~</span>That was about as wild a dream as Rak could have. Catching his own food, in the wild? He'd have better luck trying to pick up a paintbrush and paint a masterpeice.<br/><br/>Behind the little playful exterior, Lilium could practically feel Rak's love. The little 'buzzing' sensation in her head that she always seemed to share when near her companion. The faint way that she could feel what he could - his pleasure, his pain. That love was there, too - so intense and so real.<br/><br/>Once more, Rak's slender muzzle slips beneath Lilium's chin, his tongue curling against her throat as he snuggles his body even more tightly up against her own.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~Mmm...so...you said, If I was a good boy...</span><br/><br/>The fox gives his master a playful little nip on the throat, before pressing his muzzle against her own...and nuzzling her lovingly, his eyes sinking shut as he just enjoys the proximity with her, the feeling of finally being alone with her after a long day's travel.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~ I've been a very good boy today...~</span>
