Early afternoon and the heat was still intense for the serenghetti. Not many animals would be moving around now in the heat that now cooked the grasses and slowly evaporated the water. Delilah was one of those who had decided it was best to rest until nightfall and shadows came to cool the land. Either from luck or just by chance Delilah had managed to stumble across a small oasis with tree's shading the water from the suns devious ability to evaporate it quickly.
Happy at her findings Delilah was now laid out in the cool waters with only her head laying on slightly dry ground. Her whole body was muddy from wallowing in the water but she didn't care today with her belly full of stolen herbs from her fathers plants. She'd been laying in the same spot for so long now that the mud on the parts of her body not under water was dried upon her fur making her look more light brown than white.
Places where the mud was thickest on her above the water was cracked and chipping off as her body moved with her light breathing and slight twitches. Even a slight snore came from her throat as she had fallen asleep and her dreams were more vivid and colorful from the herbs effects than any of the dreams she'd ever had before. She was falling in love with the herbs she'd started eating not more than two or three weeks ago. They were exactly what she had been looking for all her life to help her cope with the emotions she felt from the world.
