(Hi! Sorry, I've been busy lately.)
-Rustic-
Rustic sniffed though the undergrowth. Nothing here. She lifted her head and sighed. The old log where they lived was too small, too undefended, and had little to no prey. We really need to move... soon. Genji depends on me. I can't let him down. No way, we'll stick together. Always. Rustic peered into the log. In the dim light of sunset, she only made out the outline of Genji, curled up. His chest was falling and rising evenly. Genji's been looking thin lately. I have to hunt more. She set her jaw and set out towards the snowy forest. Before entering, she looked back at Genji. Why do I have a bad feeling about this?
-Genji-
Genji slowly blinked open his eyes. He yawned, making his way to his feet, before bumping his head. He winced, remembering how they had to make camp here during that awful snowstorm. He smacked his lips, and pulled himself out of the log. With a sudden feeling of guilt, he realized Rustic had probably gone to hunt again. Rustic always takes care of me. I can't let her do it all by herself! He trotted off to the nearest river.
When he got there, he realized most of the river was frozen. However, the part near a waterfall was not, so he ran over to it in anticipation. He reached a paw in, and brought out a tiny sparkling silver fish. YES!! Rustic will be proud of me. He suddenly saw a huge trout swimming towards him. He was elated. Whoo! Now we can actually have a meal! He leaned fowards to catch it, when he realized that the trout was too far for him to reach. He growled in disappointment I-It's HUGE! But I can't reach it. No. I have to reach it. For our survival. He jumped into the frozen river with a splash, shivering at the cold rushing water. He swam over to the fish, and grabbed it with his jaws. YES!! I've GOT... Oh no. His excitement turned to dread as the powerful thrust of water sent him towards the waterfall. No. NO! I can't die! I won't! Rustic... His thoughts broke off as he and the silver trout tumbled over the waterfall. His last thought was: But... Rustic... needs me...
