The Chase (En)

The Canimu bayed and barked, and generally made quite a racket as they ran. Hydrus and their Meowler trailed behind, although the feline only because they neither wanted to go on a run nor be left behind.

"Hello!" They yelled, unsure as to whether there had actually been any words, or simply some creature making a noise that sounded like words, "I'm sorry about the Canimu! They're friendly, I promise!"

And indeed, the Canimu seemed to have decided that other bloblings were not on the list of things to be torn apart - or at least, not torn apart yet, since they'd slowed to a brisk trot and wagging their tails.

"Oh uh, nice to meet you too..." Hydrus glanced nervously at their pets. They... Weren't going to start anything, right? They'd always been quite friendly to them, but you never did know. There were some funny bloblings out there, "Eir is a nice name. I'm Hydrus."

"So uh... Where did you come from?" The ground, possibly. It would be interesting to meet another Blobling who had appeared in the swamp. All who Hydrus had met seemed to have travelled there from somewhere else. It didn't matter where anyone came from, of course, but there was definitely something to sharing an... appearing-place with someone else.

(aha it's alright! I'm dying just because, so at least you have a reason!)

"Uh... Yes! Nice to meet you, too!"

Well, this Blobling seemed nice. That was... That was good.

Where they came from had pink sand, huh? That was very different. Interesting. Had the desert had pink sand when they went there? Honestly... They couldn't quite remember. Possibly that was good reason to visit again but... Maybe not alone, this time. The memory of unending, unrelenting heat was just a little too fresh.

"No reason, really... I uh, just like knowing what sort of places are out there."

The Canimu apparently shared Eir's enthusiasm to interact: though they sat politely as the Bloblings talked, they pawed at the ground with their front feet.
