his shoulder never seemed to stop aching. the fabric of the baby sling rubbed that held his napping son only worsened the ache, something no amount of staying off of that arm could really cure. however, the chimpanzee didn't mind it, using the injured arm to cradle his son in an attempt to keep the sling from swinging back and forth. he wanted to rest, climb in a tree and settle so that they could both just sleep the day away, but they needed safety after.. everything. too many things to explain in one sitting, things that he was glad his son would be too old to remember- he hoped, at least.
it even scared him, still.
either way, he continued their trek through the muddy sand, finally making it to the coast where he could just sit and rest for a while. he used the gate that they had passed through to stand for a moment, holding onto a ledge, making sure their surroundings were clear, before starting to climb. he wasn't sure how stable the gate was, but he wasn't going to sit on the ground, where any predator could swoop in and eat them. once near the top, he settled in one of the little window like structure, crouching with his back against the stone, peeking into the sling that held his son.
those wide, blue eyes were open, staring up at him with that little cheeky grin. "i see you're awake. i think we've found a home, blue." the male chuckled and his son wiggled around until he was able to get on caesar's shoulder. "isn't it nice?" the little chimp shrieked in excitement, climbing over caesar's head and sticking out his tongue as he puffed out his cheek. "no? i think its very nice, blue."
