Movement 2
Though he was pretty busy in Onixya, Kip had a bit of a hobby on the side: trying to find and nail an Axolabeb with a rock! He'd tried and failed during their first trip through the swamp, and after relaxing in the city for a while, he was ready to try again, and again and again until he nailed one. He'd staked out a couple different ponds outside of Onixya, trying to find ones with bushes and trees for Axolabebs to hide and crawl in, and maybe some glow grapes for them to eat. Finally, he found the perfect one, and made a mental note in his head before running back to the city to continue hunting for their book thief.
Once he had some more free time, a thought occurred to him. He'd probably have to hide and wait for anything to come by, so why not try running to the pond and see how fast he could go? The thought didn't take long, and with a swift goodbye, he bolted out of the city and towards the pond in the swamp. Kip didn't stop running for anything, hopping over and crashing through bushes, sliding through the mud to get under hanging branches, and even jumping and swimming through a large puddle or two. Another turn, then through these bushes, and...
Yes! There's the pond,, Kip thought, now I jus gotta find that ditch and...and...where's the ditch? 'n where's the tree?"
This...wasn't the one Kip was looking for. It was distinctly treeless and glowgrape-less, and he couldn't find anyplace where an Axolabeb would try to hide. Giving it one more look, Kip sneered at the pond before turning and running in a different direction: maybe this was the right way. Maybe. Hopefully.
