Kidogo continued walking wearily across the Savannah plains, determined to find somewhere that he could sleep until the night came. He would start travelling again when sun disappeared from the sky, that's what he did all the time. It was a good way to avoid any dangers that might be around during the day. At the rate Kidogo was going at the moment, he doubted he would even be able to walk out of wherever it was he was going to be sleeping. He was sure he had never been this tired in his whole life. Every so often, Kidogo's tiredness took over and started closing his eyes without even really knowing it.
Kidogo forced himself to keep walking, though, as he had seen somewhere that he could probably stay during the day. It was now morning and he had been walking non-stop for hours, only stopping occasionally to get a drink of water. He would hunt for something tonight. Only if he actually felt like he could, though...he was taking a large risk by travelling in the morning, as there was a larger chance of being seen by other, larger predators like Lions or Cheetahs. Kidogo knew he wouldn't be able to run because he was too tired and because he was smaller than Lions and other predators like that, he knew he would stand no chance by fighting back.
Stealth was Kidogo's only option now, but luckily, being stealthy was something that he was very good at. When he was this tired, though, careless mistakes were going to be somewhat of a certainty. Being a Caracal meant his senses were very sharp and could pick up something relatively small from quite a long distance away. Kidogo looked up to the strange rock formation again and noticed he was thankfully only a couple of hundred metres away. He just needed to keep going for five more minutes...five more minutes... he kept telling himself, then he would finally be able to rest.
Every single step was now taking a massive toll on the Caracal. He glanced up to the rock formation again. It seemed to be getting further and further away, for some reason. Kidogo noticed a waterhole only about 50 metres away from him. He turned his attention to the waterhole and slowly trudged in that direction. Just before he got to it, however, he collapsed to the floor in an exhausted state, immediately falling into a deep sleep when he hit the ground. He swore he saw a lion walking towards the rock formation, but didn't think anymore of it before his mind went blank and he started sleeping. Almost nothing could wake him up.
((OOC: do you mind if I do Kovu's post tomorrow? I really don't feel as if I can do his post, too :S))
