Misha's head shot up. "Damn - definitely my name that time!" She scrambled towards the source of the noise, clawing through brambles and the crumbling remains of brown leaves as she dashed through the wood. Her boots scraped the forest floor in uneven bursts, beginning to sink as the land shifted from pine needle pack to an expanse of mud. She clung to the branches above her head as she moved closer to the where she could see the boy's struggling form. "Destin!"

Destin looks up at her and sighs in relief. His fur was plastered to his sides with mud. "I'm stuck." He says simply, blinking up at her. "Think you can...help me out of here?" He was out of breath and the mud was beginning to chill him. He shivers and fluffs out his fur, only to make the mud stick to the lower layers of fur. He sneezes and sniffs, shivering.
