There comes a time in life when one really has to wonder how they manage to get into such ridiculous situations. It really wasn't very serious at all, but after falling from a tree branch (that didn't hurt so bad) onto an ant hill (which ended up hurting a bit more) and being forced to flee, Ethiopia just had to laugh at herself as she stomped around in the water, trying to make sure no more of the little insects where on her. Dire Dawa, her companion, seemed less amused as he fluttered about.
"Do you have any idea how badly that could have turned out? Ants kill people!" She figured his words weren't very funny, but Ethiopia chortled. The result was a more flustered avian. "And all your splashing about! You're going to lure some crocodiles or something!" She stopped briefly, but only to stick her tongue out.
"Zay," She referred to him, as usual, by his nickname. "This is a little watering hole. I've been coming here since I was a cub! there are no–" She giggled, perhaps due to a memory. "Crocodiles here. Calm down! It was no big deal." The avian didn't agree, and ruffled his feathers as he landed on a rock, just out of range of any splashes. "You need to be more careful." She smiled, stomping a couple times around. She was quite sure she was rid of ants now, but enjoyed the feel of the water. Zay didn't really get it. Sometimes life was just funny.
