Kasey stopped walking. She had been going for...well she didn't exactly know. She looked up to the sky, squinting slightly, trying to gauge the time based on the sun. By her calculations, it was around 2:15pm. She cursed herself silently. Why hadn't she run into another wanderer so far? Or a compound? And where the hell was all the wildlife? The only protection she had right now was her dog, but he wasn't doing well. Kasey needed supplies, and soon. She looked at her surroundings, listening to her instincts to see which way she should go. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "South-west..." she said as she was breathing out. She started to walk. She was weary, but she felt sure that she would soon be at a compound when she could barter for goods....

Atleast, she hoped she would reach one soon. She could only imagine what would happen to Drawp if he didn't get water and food. She cursed herself again. 'Why did I let my supplies get so low?' Drawp is panting just trying to keep up, and she was only walking. She looked down at him, and was horrified to see that he was actually 10 paces behind, lying on the sand. She rushed back to him, worried he was dying. He panted and looked up at her, but the effort seemed to be straining him. She sat down beside him, checking her pack for supplies. She didn't care anymore that she was low, Drawp needed help, now. She offered him some lizard skin, one of his favorites, and he ate it gratefully. It did not, however, manage to get him up. Kasey started to get worried again, but relized she had to get moving. 'Southwest, please, please, let there be some help southwest....' she thought as she picked Drawp up. In this state, he weighted barely 30 pounds. While this worried Kasey, it made it easier for her to carry him, so she just trekked forward, through the sands.
