[ooc; hope this is alright. and by the way, don't be offended. liseli is painfully shy.]the chocolate brown made her way slowly to the main stream in the territory. it wasn't particularly wide, and it wasn't particularly deep. liseli could remember the many days she spent at that very stream as a calf. she had grown up in the itzla herd, she knew ever inch of the land. of course, as a calf she never actually went in to the water. she was a small calf and the water had always seemed so quick and dangerous then. eyes glanced quickly from the greening grass to the standstill water. one tan colored hoof broke the surface tension of the water and plunged to the soft sandy bottom. a shiver went down her spine, not necessarily out of fear but more or less out of anticipation. the cool water was a relief and she wanted to go for a wade. no one was around, she could indulge in this one simple pleasure before heading back to the cover of her herd members.
she was alone a lot actually. not physically alone but she didn't usually participate in the group wide discussions. it was as if she could almost disappear at times. her brown muzzle lipped at the surface of the water, drawing in a couple of long gulps before raising her head surprisingly. ears flicked forward swiftly, she could have swore she had heard something. she lightly scolded herself, she was being ridiculous. other buffalo were allowed to use this stream. the only one who could put restrictions on that would be their current leader lal. but nevertheless, she had heard something and that meant she would have to go. being...alone with another made her slightly uncomfortable and though the warming weather just screamed for bathing, eli didn't want conversation today.
