“I’d love some water. Thank you.” She stood up shakily, weakened by her water deprivation and being stuck in one place for so long, and managed to get to the stream. She crouched down and lapped up the bitter tasting water as if it was the clearest water in the world.
Beetlepaw let her lean on him for support on the way over. "You should probably stay by the stream from now on, so that way you can get a drink whenever you need it. And I'll be able to find you easier. I'll try to bring prey every day as well."
“Thank you. I appreciate that.” She lay down again, exhausted from her short journey. She hadn’t had proper meals or drinks, had been stuck in one place, and had no nest, forcing her to lay on the sharp, peaty ground. She closed her eyes, comforting herself with the thought that at least two of her problems could be solved.
He walked off aways, scraping moss off a rock that was jutting out of the stream, He formed a nest around her with the little supply he had. "This is the best I can do." He said apologetically. "I'll try to bring nest materials over from the real world tomorrow as well."
“Thank you,” she repeated numbly, not knowing what else to say. “You have no idea how much this means to me.”
He nuzzled her. "Well I can't just let my mentor stay in this drab place and slowly die now, can I?" He mewed teasingly
“Mm, I don’t know. I can be a bit bossy sometimes,” she joked weakly, opening one eye.
He laughed. "I'd rather have a bossy mentor than a dead one." He replied evenly
“Well, that works out for me.”
He purred and pricked his ears. "I think I hear Darksky. Good luck, and I'll see you later." He dashed off, happy his black pelt kept him hidden in the shadowy world
