The Web: An unexpectedly warm day encourages new exploration.
All at Once had been in the plains for a good while, he’d been out to the dessert outskirts and was now bound for the swamp. His legs began to ache but the strain was familiar, he’d been up and moving since the sun first peaked over the horizon. He walked, but briskly, impatient. Something about today, told him he’d find something new today.
The edge of the swamp was clear in his sights, as it had been from the day’s start over the low grasslands, but steadily it grew closer. There was something else though, something gleaming in the bright sunlight, something red.
With curiosity abound, Instant took off in a sprint. The ache in his muscles forgotten, it felt amazing to stretch out to his fullest, dashing through the tall grass and leaping over obstacles. Soon he’d be upon the red entity, it’s form becoming clearer, a kimeti, perhaps a buck? It had long been since he'd seen one, as few ventured as far north as he'd been in the last season. In his final strides he slowed to a trot, not intending to alarm the other, if he’d not already noticed his approach.

“Ah,” All at Once was very briefly disappointed, he wished to discover something new, but the Plains were well known to him. But this was a fellow traveller! He brightened immediately. Maybe he could direct him somewhere he might not have been.
“It does seem like there’s just something about today.” Instant commented before replying to the buck’s question. “I spotted you from a way back, from the very Plains you seek. You’re not far now.”
He swung his head back to the vast fields behind him, with perhaps a little too much enthusiasm. There certainly was something about today, he could barely contain himself. The bubbling, ever moving energy was a constant in his life, aways driving him. But today it was especially, well, excitable.
“I too, seek to explore. I woke knowing I’d find something new today. So far, that is you.” Instant grinned. “My name is All at Once, though I more often go as Instant. Who might you be, stranger?”
