Up The Water Spout

Aku had spent the night curled up in the snow. He was accustomed to frigid temperatures so after wrapping his tail around his paws and face he'd fallen asleep with ease. The snow had built up over him during the night and when he finally woke up he'd risen from the drift like some strange winter ghost. His paws weren't in as bad of shape as he'd expected from the trek across the frozen field, so he was looking forward to the journey ahead. It seemed he would have Jynn as a travel partner for awhile longer and he was grateful for her company.

He too was near the geyser when it blew and it caught him completely off guard. Aku leaped back like a scalded cat, tumbled to the ground and then was on his feet facing the Spout in an instant. Seeing he wasn't under attack, he stood still with one paw raised in concern and regarded the tower of water. Unwilling to step forward, he stretched out his neck and sniffed. The air smelled of water and little else. As he watched the water began to die down. "Jynn?" he called without taking his eyes from the steaming column. He'd heard her shriek and knew she was nearby. "Are you alright?" If she needed him he would go to her, but he was reluctant to take his eyes from the strange phenomenon.
