Maitryi trotted swiftly in the direction of Turxos Creek, happy as a clam. Just mere days earlier than this moment, she and Scout had pronounced their love for one another. Nothing could seem to demolish her cheerful mood right now, even the dryness of the desert. Winter was upon the wolves of Anikira once more, and although the temperatures surely dropped to a more comfortable level, the dryness of the Occasus and Xisyn remained all year long. The only place that Maitryi tended to reside to when in need of a refreshing drink or simply a heavenly view was Turxos Creek. It was the place that the Arabian female had met her true love, and it always brought back blissful memories.
When the deaf femme's paws had finally carried her to the small creek, she dipped her snout in the cool, replenishing waters and satisfied her thirst. Having nothing better to do, the canine approached one of the small trees that was growing in a cluster with two other identical trees. Each one held several round fruits that were fluorescent orange in color. The femme had seen these plants along the creek's edge before, but she had never had enough time to examine the fruits closely. Maitryi was rather skilled with herbs and healing, but this Xisyn-native tree was unfamiliar to her.
She was about to abandon the tree and return to her own business, but alas, Maitryi didn't have any "business" to return to. Earlier, the femme had hunted a small hare to fill her growling stomach, and being a Tassos subordinate, she currently possessed no specific duties that needed to be completed. There was the possibility of finding Scout and talking to him, but Mai knew that he had important responsibilities to take care of. Finally, curiosity got the better of the shy female. She propped her two front paws on the trunk of the closest tree, and stretched her neck towards the lowest-lying fruit in order to pluck it from its branch with her jaws. Maitryi hopped down to the ground, and placed the peculiar orange fruit in front of her. It had no unique scent to it, so the canine decided to gingerly rip it open. Almost instantaneously after penetrating the mystery fruit's skin, an extremely bitter taste registered on the femme's tongue. Her entire muzzle crinkled in reaction as she discarded the small pieces of fruit from her mouth. Thankfully, she wasn't stupid enough to consume this unfamiliar plant because for all she knew, it could be toxic and deadly.
