She was tired, so tired. Her limbs ached, the muscles protesting from the physical exertion. All she wanted to do was lay down and sleep for a while. "Just a little further, Alex, you're nearly there," a soothing feminine voice cooed to her gently. The Cryfton Girl sighed in response, her ears twitching with frustration. "You said that ages ago Asaparael, why should I believe you now?" Her words were short and snappish, but deep down she didn't really mean it. "I've never understood why you believed her in the first place," the smug voice of Nunzaseor said in response, his tone hinting at the child-like expression he would be wearing. Alex grumbled beneath her breath at the two of them. They were constantly at war with each other, and she could do nothing to stop them from exchanging their venom-tipped words. "Can I have at least five minutes of silence from the both of you?" She hissed at them as she picked up the pace. They both fell silent.
Alex continued her expedition to nowhere in particular in silence, just taking in everything around her. It was so peaceful with all the lush grass and small animals scurrying here to there, not to mention the nice sun that kept her back warm. All too soon she came upon a frankly enormous body of water, the surface so flat and still it look like a mirror. It was beautiful. "It's disgusting; so calm and peaceful, how do you ev-" Nunzaseor began to spitefully say before Alex interrupted him with a shouted "Shut up!" Her teeth were bared in a silent snarl as she waited for him to quip back at her, but when he didn't she smoothed out her muzzle and almost triumphantly padded to the lake's edge. Sometimes all it took was a firm word to get him under control. Lowering her head, the Cryfton Girl dipped her muzzle into the clear liquid and began to drink the life-giving source. "Good things comes to those that are patient," Asaparael hummed softly. Alex snorted in response.
