The Horse

They found the river, much to Tasuki's complaint. Chichiri sat on the edge, blocking out most of Tasuki's complaining while he set up camp. Chichiri sat staring at the water
"We had to get to the river. We just had to. He won't tall me why. He says he wants to fish. He's not fishing. He's staring at the water, which leaves me to do all the work..." Tasuki continued like this. Chichiri couldn't stand it anymore. He got up and started walking down-stream. "Where are you going?"
"To bathe, no da," Chichiri answered.
Tasuki sighed as he watched his friend disappear.
"You know you want to," a voice from above Tasuki said.
"I wanna what?"
"Follow him." Tasuki laughed. "I'm not joking. Even I would follow him, but I'm not into older men. You don't know what's going on."
"Why are you here?"
Li smiled. "My job. Now go. You're done here. Just don't be seen." Then he was gone.
"Stealthy little one." But Tasuki went to find Chichiri.
