Venus usually liked the heat, and that was a well known fact, but right now? This was way too much, even for them. Being a shorthair and having the ability to bend water out of plants helped, of course, but since most of the vegetation was drying up, there was barely enough for them to drink and be satisfied. Yes, things were getting pretty fucking bad. Venus just hoped there would be an end to it soon, otherwise, they were seriously considering jumping ship on this one.
The demigod, like Chalice, had also been on their own hunting trip, attempting to find any sort of creature they could bring back for a meal. However, there really seemed to be nothing left out here. As soon as things started to dry up, most of the prey had probably high tailed it out of Tanglewood's territory, sensing the dry spell's death sentence on anything that dared to stay behind. Unfortunate. Stomach grumbling in response to Venus' thoughts, the blue feline would sigh miserably as they trodded along.
Suddenly, the sound of a loud thump would make its way to his ears, followed by a squirrel crossing in front of them, running for its life. What in the fuck had just happened? Had the Gods heard his complaints and decided to give Venus a blessing? Either way, they had completely fucked up their opportunity, the small critter now long gone and out of sight. Deciding to investigate where the commotion had come from instead, Venus would nearly trip over the collapsed form of Chalice, a clanmate they had yet to meet before now. "Oh shit!" Was she... dead? Putting their head down as close to the lioness' chest, they could tell her heart was still beating, which was a good sign, but this was still pretty fucking bad. "HEY! I need help, quick! Anyone?" Ven would call out from Chalice's side, his voice hoarse from dehydration. Gods, hopefully someone with medical knowledge heard their call... cause' they didn't know if they would have the strength to drag her back to camp on their own.
