"I'm not so sure about this..." Ajaxis squeaked, looking at the wet valley bellow. "You know how I feel about.... mud." It had just rained for a week, while they hid in the depths of the woods, trying to keep dry. Vid had tried his best to guide them through the lands without running into much mud, but the shortest route was through the valley. And he was not taking no for an answer. He was beyond weary with travelling back from guiding Edelweiss to a like-minded herd, where were "joy" would be appreciated. Ajaxis was still saddened by the departure, and had not complained on their slow return. Until now. "There must be another way, love."
