((Hey. No need to apologize. If you are feeling under the weather and want to take a break. Just say so. I really don't mind. I want the RP to be fun. I don't want you to feel I am pushing you to do a post at any time. OK? Thanks. Do hope you feel better soon))<br/><br/>Arkain nods as he listens to the eagle looking around the beach as you talk for foot prints  "Hmmmm. You are right. That's very observant of you but then again you are an eagle so its to be expected." He looks up at you. "So true. Water sure is now. That's why I have had to take, you might say, extra measures to protect it." He grins and lets out a light chuckle staying ankle deep on the water. "Ohh I think I am a pretty good predator but that is not the reason you are not seeing many foot prints. Not everything is quite as it may appear. There are a number of others here but few come out during at this time of day. It's too hot and besides most reside over the other side." Pointing over at the other shore then turns towards you and stops walking. Cocking his head slightly pondering carefully his next actions. "What I wish to ask you  is what  I ask from anyone else who comes here. You ask permission to drink the water. And what are you plans, are you continuing on today or do you plan to stay for a bit to recover."
