I'll Take One Drowned Rat To Go, Please

Noir watched as his father pulled the pup from the water, his strength was impressive. Noir would work as hard as his father, and harder. One day he’d be stronger even than Rhyme! It was a long distant thought at the moment though as he watched the boy cough up the water that had been inhaled into his lungs. Noir didn’t know if he should be amused or impressed. Or neither, he was very much unimpressed, he’d been swept away by the river. Noir had known since he could walk what would happen if he tried to fight against the strength of such a current.

”I never got swept away by the water.” He interjected suddenly as Poem asked if the boy was going to be okay. Rhyme either didn’t hear him or ignored him more likely as his attention remained on the half dead pup. Noir knit his brows in frustration as he backed away, glancing as the pup stood up and gained more attention from Rhyme. Noir huffed heavily at all three of them.
