Swiftly getting bored of the tranquility, Darkness rose, stepping off the stump with a low grunt. An idea struck him: What if the nearby water he detected earlier was part of the stream that ran past their home? It would be a way for the dark raptor to plot a route to the area in a way that Crusher could actually follow, should they need it. Happy over realizing the obvious, Darkness made his way back toward the cave entrance, where he once again found the scent of water. It wasn't very strong, indicating it wasn't the ocean or a particularly large river. After a short walk, the dark raptor's assumptions were confirmed: it was a stream, much like the one near his home, which meant his idea still had some merit. Moving to the shore, the dark raptor glanced up and down the stream to make sure the coast was clear, but unfortunately it wasn't. Some feet down the stream, he could see a raptor sleeping near the shore. Darkness frowned. Had he wandered into pack territory? He didn't feel like finding out...at least, not without Crusher beside him. As young as he was, Darkness knew the Tyrannosaur was quite the fighter. Returning to his thoughts, the dark raptor turned back to his current predicament, which had become a lot more complicated because of his discovery: How to cross the stream without waking the raptor. Wading right into it may be too noisy, but so too might be jumping across. Opting for the latter, Darkness moved as close to the edge as he could before launching himself across, landing on the sandy shore with a soft thud, before slowly making his way toward the undergrowth...
