Luth’ol and Nika had just spent a Moon Dance with the Aishnak Vhiasse after spending several long Moon Dances out in the Wastes. While Luth’ol loved her people, she was used to the solitude of just traveling with Nika. So, it was understandable that there was a bit of a bounce in her step, and an eagerness to be off as she bid her Pride goodbye. It didn’t take the two long to disappear from the sight of the Pride as they topped a nearby rise and went over it.<br/><br/>With the tribe long out of sight, Nika and Luth’ol finally slowed their pace. Neither was prone to haste as a rule. Taking their time as they wandered, poking into whatever caught their attentions. Though Lut’ol had grown up traveling the Wastes all her life, it was always changing, either from the elements or the creatures and people that called the Wastes home. So she was not surprised to find Undines busy making… something a half a day’s walk from the Pride she’d just left.<br/><br/>She and Nika stopped at the top of the rise and paused watching, making sure to keep their distance. Undines were small little gnome like creatures that peppered the Wastes. They had a strange love for working the earth and normally didn’t pay the other inhabitants of the Wastes much attention. Unless, of course, they felt threatened, like most anything. Luth’ol and Nika made sure to stay far enough back to not cause them to feel such. It was usually better to let them approach you if they took a notice.<br/><br/>Nika flopped down and lay there, while Luth’ol squatted next to him and scratched his ears idly. After about an hour, the two rose and continued on their way, careful to skirt the area. Luth’ol still had no idea what the Undines were doing exactly, but she wasn’t so curious as to bother them either. She still remembered all too well the first time she’d ever encountered the Undine, it was a lesson she wasn’t about to forget for the rest of her life.<br/><br/>Luth’ol had a mission, she very much wanted to travel the entire Waste and learn it as best as any could in the changing environment. Scraps of parchment and drawing utensils stowed away in her pack, she was slowly mapping the place. She wished to know just how big the place was and mark the more fixed landmarks. Someday it might be of use to the Pride as their roaming territory was slowly shrinking due to the encroachments of Others.<br/>
