Russa Nodrey, a squirrelmaid and a male squirrel named Tammic made their way through the sand dunes as the sun began to set. "We should probably set up camp soon," Tammic said as they reached the top of a hill. As they caught their breath and looked across the desert plane from atop the hill, Russa spotted something. "Hey do you see that?"
"See what?" Tammic asked.
"Overthere, It looks like some beast lying in the sand. Common, let's check it out." As the two squirrels made their way towards the figure lying in the sand, it became more apparent that it was a vermin of some sort. "Shhh, stay low." Russa whispered to her companion, "Looks like it's a vermin."
"He looks unconscious" Tammic observed. They crept closer. "Hey, look he's tied up." Tammic said.
"Well I'll be darned, it's a stoat. Looks to be half dead to me and if he's not he'll be dead soon." Russa said nonchalantly. The stoat's eyes fluttered open and he looked at Tammic. "He's alive!" Tammic said crouching down in front of the vermin and pulling out his flask of water. "Crosstooth matey, I thought you'd left me for dead." the stoat mumbled.
"Shh shh, just drink this." Tammic tilted the flask to the stoats muzzle. "Not too fast, easy now."
Russa shook her head, "You gonna nurse him back to health so he can stab you in your sleep?"
"Oh please." Tammic exclaimed, "Look at him, he's tied and unarmed."
"Alright, but if the vermin makes one wrong move I'm ending him"
