Considering her life before all of this, this should have been easy. It was just a simple camp move, but it still had turned her routine over on it's side, especially when it came to the heat and lack of resources. There wasn't anything to see for miles surrounding them. They were well-protected, as enemies would probably be exhausted by the time they reached their camp, but it was still difficult for them, too. But she didn't bother voicing any of that out loud, instead keeping her mouth shut and going along with it. She had learned to do that a long time ago, that her opinions didn't really matter. Things happened and the world continued either way.
At least her fur wasn't thick or dark colored. Plus she blended in quite well with the sand. So there wasn't much else to complain about, though she definitely felt dirty and unpleasant with all the sweat and filth. Just when she had been hoping for some sort of water source to appear, she spotted a sudden dip in the land, tired paws carrying her over to investigate. When she peeked over the edge, she was elated to see the oasis, the beautiful flora and the life scurrying about barely registering in her mind as she quickly raced to towards the water.
It was cool, chilling her body as she dived in, enveloped in the coolness. Cosette could practically feel it all melting away off her body, the grime she was carrying coming off to leave her pelt glistening and wet. She didn't even notice Benny there, too focused on the oasis and all it offered. But once she took a look around and noticed the nose sticking out of the water, she quickly got defensive, unsure who it was just by the snout. She couldn't pick out the scent, either.
"Oh, I-I'm sorry,"" she apologizes, slowly wading back towards the bank. "I didn't know you were here." she keeps her eye on them, cautious. Whoever it was, maybe they'd let her stay. Hopefully.
