^^ Steady had left @Valette to herself for a bit after deciding to head to the river just north of her circle of stones. It started to rain just before he got here, and he almost turned back. Too much rain would wash away Valette's scent and then he'd have a hard time tracking her down again. But, he was counting on her not to run too far. He tried his best not to be some overbearing male, but it was hard when he didn't know if she trusted him. Would she take the opportunity to lose him?
Maybe this was a test of sorts to see just how much effort she put into getting away from him. Instead of turning back, Steady made it to the watering hole by mid-morning. The rain hadn't let up yet, and even though it wasn't a downpour, he knew it had gone on long enough that any scent of her would be long gone and impossible to follow.
His stress levels were high when he finally lowered his muzzle to drink from the lake. His eyes glanced around as his tongue lapped up the water. Not many were around, as they were probably seeking shelter from the rain. It didn't bother him like it might others. His fur would be plenty thick enough to keep him warm, even if it was cold, but it wasn't. The rain provided a nice cooling effect from the warmer days that came with spring.
