 xxHoooooooooooooooooooooot.
Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot WATER.
Baako squinted, looking around for something to cool him off. It was hot. He was desperate--you could tell by the way his dry tongue was rolling out of his mouth as he panted, trotting frantically.It wasn't often he moved more than a snails pace.
He flopped down with a wumpf behind a rock where there was a bit of shade for a quick break. He hadn't walked more than a hundred feet buuuuut hey, it was scalding out. A lizard skittered up to join him, eyeing him warily. The brown hyena lowered his head and nudged it with his nose gently, "Yuh, know where--"
The startled lizard had skittered off before he could finish.
Frustrated, he barked hoarsely, "WATER. WHERE ARE YOU."

 Pagao grumbled as he moved through the savannah, tongue lolling from his jaws and his ears slightly drooped as if he wasn't at all happy with the currant weather. He'd been spending most of his days down near a local watering hole, right in the mud when there weren't any crocs close by. So it was no surprise that the lower half of his body was completely covered in dry, caked-on mud. Even though it had been the good life for a few days a hyena needed to eat, so he'd set out to scavenge but with no luck. He certainly wasn't going to be hunting in this blasted heat, so he supposed he would go hungry for a day.
He was just passing a large rock when it suddenly shouted at him. Pag snarled, head jerking as he glanced toward it. Well that was stupid, rocks didn't talk. A number of things in the savannah did, but certainly not rocks. "Oi, shut up." He sneered, though he'd already turned his direction from the watering hole to the rock. He was circling slowly around it, still panting. He stopped when the other male hyena came into view and then smirked, shaking his head lightly. Probably younger, Pagao decided. "Yeh want water then freaking find water, don't go running about with your jaws flapping, creating all sorts of unneeded noise!" Pagao wasn't the most pleasant hyena in the least, but he wasn't vicious either... and it would be nice to have the company for once. Maybe.
"Bah, follow here you useless twit. The watering hole is this way." Maybe he'd follow. Or maybe he'd try and attack, Pagao knew he had that sort of effect on others; he couldn't help it.

Baako turned and stared at the rock that had just told him to shut up, seeming not at all surpised it was talking to him, "Ehh don't tell me to shut up rock. If you wanted to talk you could have just asked. Or wanted quiet. Dun have to be rude...but thanks for the shade rock-bro."
Another hyena came into view, caked with mud. Okay, so it wasn't the rock talking after all, "Oh, sorry man, I thought you were the rock."
Covered in mud. Mud meant water...sort of. Or at least mud was cooler than the rock-shade was. He was about to ask where the watering hole was, but the snappier hyena beat him to it before Baako could open his lazy mouth.
"Thanks man, I'd been looking forever but couldn't find it. Bakko, by the way," the orange-eyed hynea said, slowly getting to his feet and lumbering slowly behind the other male.

Pagao didn't know if he was amused or annoyed with the fact that the other hyena had thought he was the rock. Clearly he'd held onto that notion much longer than Pagao himself had. There was no way rocks could speak, the end. He wondered why he'd even bothered telling the other hyena to follow him, even if he was a little lonely. Pagao often didn't understand his actions when it came to socialization, but oh well. He'd deal with whatever happened.
Pags snorted when the darker male said he couldn't find the watering hole, which had been clear from his shouting, and further more when he said that he'd been searching 'forever'. "Oooh~ Well, this watering hole can be tricky." Pagao's tone was completely serious, though that was just the sort of humor he had. This Bakko would never understand he was being sarcastic, because Pagao would more often rather sound serious than sarcastic. Others got easily offended with sarcasm, and then you had to deal with them longer.
"You can call me Pagao." Let the other wonder if it was a real name or not, Pagao didn't care. He glanced behind him and huffed, slowing his pace. Was this kid really that slow? Pagao had decided there was no other words more suitable for the other adult hyena than kid. He seemed much younger, anyhow. "It's just up this way." He gestured with his snout.

"Pagao. Paaagaaaoooo. Paaah guuuu," Baako amused himself temporarily, "Nice to meet you Paw Goo."
The hyena grinned widely, happy to have someone else to talk to after a long while of aimless wandering. He was a big confused by the other's statement about the water hole being tricky. Did it disappear? He knew they could during droughts but...what about a moving water hole? That would explain it. Maybe it was avoiding him, that's why he couldn't find it.
"I could have sworn I checked over this ridge man...is that what you mean by tricky? It moves? Would explain a lot. Or maybe I just move too much. Have I even been here before?" he stopped, realizing he was rambling, "Sorry bro, I do that sometimes...oh is this it?"
He sped up his pace, trotting to catch up to Pagao.

Pagao's ears flew to press against his skull almost instantly as the other male butchered his name. What the hell was that? He didn't want to be known as paw goo! And look at that stupidly ridiculous look on the other's face! Happy as can be, not caring one lick about Pagao's poor, butchered name! "It's pah-gay-oh." He growled out, each syllable clipped in his frustration. "Not paw goo," Each time he said or thought the 'name' his voice filled with contempt. Both his inner and outer voice, it didn't matter. He couldn't think of any witty way to butcher Bakko's name, just to prove that it was not okay, so he kept quiet after his correction.
He thought that if he ever had the urge to keep some company again he would have liked to run into a less talkative hyena. And maybe one with a little more intelligence. "It doesn't move. What sort of waterhole have you ever heard about moves?" Couldn't this male thing rationally for a moment?
Pagao mumbled something incoherent under his breath, his pace matching the other's. "Right over there, yes that's it." A drink would be needed after dealing with this one, he could tell. It was a pity it wasn't night time, Pagao liked the watering holes much better in the cool of night. "I think your problem is that you talk too much." He finally added, not able to help himself.

Baako laughed, "But they do move. Sometimes it'll be one place, then after a rain or dry spell it'll be in another. Haven't ya noticed?"
Well, it wasn't that they moved per say as Baako explained it, but with seasons changing smaller watering holes tended to disappear and rivers tended to flow and make new ones else where, as did rain. The hyena had noticed this over time, but had no way to explain it other than "moving."
"Sorry, I do that sometimes. Just smack me if I go on too long," the hyena said with a lazy smile.
He hummed happily and dunked his head in the water, then without a second though jumped in with a huge splash! "AAAHHHHH oh man that feels good bro, c'mon in!"

He wondered if he should even continue commenting on that subject or just stay quiet? Likely he wasn't going to give up his argument that watering holes... Wait! Was this moron seriously talking about watering holes drying up? Pagao cleared his throat. "Of course I've noticed watering holes drying up until they're nothing! Flooding until they seem like a new place entirely.." He wasn't sure why he was irritated now that they'd finally gotten on the same page, but he was.
Pagao huffed and leaned down for a drink, but as he lapped up the water he caught movement from the corner of his eye. He winced and tried to scramble backwards, but the other hyena was already landing in the water. The splash was large, actually quite impressive. If it hadn't gotten half of him soaking wet. He cursed several times and then smacked his paw into the water in a feeble attempt to send it Bakko. "Watch it!" He snarled, making a face. "I'd rather not."
