Trudging through this marshland was growing difficult. Tikaani and her fox companion had been wandering around this swamp, trying to find ways to escape this place. But, they had gotten lost and were now searching for a suitable place to stay for the day. Kani's paws ached and were cold, as she had been walking through soggy wet moss and mud all day. Rama, the black fox, was sprawled on her back, legs hanging down on either side of her back. Kani had allowed him to hitch a ride only because it would have taken them longer to find a cave of some sort. Or sturdy ground.
Tikaani looked around, seeing endless trees, and endless swamp. She sighed softly and continued on her way, moving around a fallen log. There seemed to be no hope for them. They would have to sleep in the water logged moss again. "Rama, I fear we'll have to spend another night in the swamp. I see no shelter."
The black bat-eared fox opened one of his pure white eyes. He had no pupils as well as his wolf companion. "What I see, Tikaani, is your blindness." He let his head rest between her shoulders, "I had been sleeping, yet the second I open my eye my sight lays on a boulder." He got no reply from the wolf which made him smirk. He knew he was right, and he could tell because not a moment later, Tikaani headed toward the half giant rock. He clung to her back when she stumbled. "Watch it. We'll feed once we get up there." He growled.
Tikaani silently agreed, and within a few minutes, she reached the boulder. It was only a few feet from the ground, but that was a few feet up from being wet. The black wolf jumped up, the swampland creating a loud suction noise when it released her paws. She sat down and let Rama off her back. She watched him come around and sit in front of her. The two sat there for a moment, looking into each others white eyes. Kani opened her mouth, and Rama copied her. White smoke like stuff came out of both of their open maws and into the other one. This was their way of feeding off emotion, and since they were both bored, the smoke was white. The two sat in this trance, the smoke dancing around them before being inhaled into their mouths. It took but a minute until they both laid down, bellies full. Night was coming quick, and Rama snuggled under Kani's bushy tail. He fell asleep almost instantly, but Kani didn't. She liked to stay up until she could no longer see.
