general content warning because it's champion lmao
Well this was fucking fantastic. The sleet was piercing her coat more than rain typically would. It seemed to pelt it's way straight between her guard hairs and irritate her. It wasn't enough to soak her to her skin, but it was plenty enough to have Champion wishing for cover. Lucky for her, the forests trees were just spiteful enough to keep dripping on her despite the canopy they formed overhead. Her blue eyes rolled sarcastically as if she'd shot a quip to her companions. Instead, she was pushing towards the alluring aroma of water. Something to refresh her. Plus, water often had shelter nearby if she was lucky.It wouldn't take much to hide the small wolf. Delicately built, she was short and light. Her tan and white coat was not particularly flashy though it was appealing. She finally burst through some low-growing young pine saplings to see the tarn that stretched before her. It was red. Like the blood of her enemies red and she let out an audible gasp before blinking and inhaling deeply. It was most certainly not tainted with blood despite it's appearance.
Padding closer, her ears in 100% airplane mode, she squinted at the edge of the water where it gently shifted to lap the shore. Nothing suspicious yet. Her neck stretched out as she lowered her muzzle just enough to give a singular gulp of whatever liquid lay within. It was water. Fresh enough. Except it did taste slightly like blood. A metallic undertone that had her staring all the harder at it. This was fucked up. Was she in a pipe dream?
