Ooh, she was a talker! Klyk's tail wagged in low, slow arcs across the sand behind him. Five days? A miracle she wasn't actually dead. An actual miracle, possibly, in the same way that it was a miracle when a man could fly, or control gravity, or punch through solid brick walls. She was a swearing talker, too, which was sort of funny. He wasn't sure he understood every idiom she was using. He could not possibly be translating "fuck me dead" right. That seemed like a very odd thing to say to a hellhound the size of a horse. Probably some American slang he hadn't come across yet.
She began a coughing fit again. Poor thing. He really should start bringing water with him, but he hadn't really figured out a good way to do it. All his water came from a well in his backyard, a truly precious commodity in the desert. There was an oasis some... He glanced around. Two miles northeast. Not quite on the way to town, but close enough to justify swinging by with her and getting her something to drink. And maybe rinsing her off a little, if he could do it without risking her freezing in the night chill. She smelled, just... really bad. Five days in a desert bad.
He gave what he hoped was a reassuring lick to her cheek. His saliva tingled, but it also tended to cool the hot and heat the chilled. It might be comforting. It also might freak her out. But she was already freaked out, and he was going to have to carry her, sooo. She'd just have to adjust.
Although. If what she said was true, and she wandered out here wondering how long she could go with water...
Oh well. Klyk didn't discriminate. He saved more idiots than geniuses just by the nature of what he did.
