-- boats against the current

i was new in town; the boy with eager eyes

The river burbled happily, providing a stark contrast with the solemnity of Angeal's thoughts. The serenity of the evening, however, was shattered by a startled noise. It was too high pitched to be anything but a pup, and Angeal stopped dead, his head tilting and his ear's flicking wildly, trying to figure out where the sound had come from. Had something happened? Well, obviously something had, but the more pressing question was whether or not something bad had happened.

A pup's voice sliced through the air with a panicked tone, calling desperately for help, and Angeal reacted instantly, breaking into a lope as he crossed the ground rapidly. He reached the river bank and came to a stop for a moment, his blue eyes seeking out the form of the pup that had called. He found her almost instantly, struggling to stay on the surface of the water, and Angeal felt a flash of panic. To let a pup drown would be something that Angeal could not comprehend. He had always loved pups. Perhaps he would have sought out the help of someone else if it had been an older wolf (Angeal wasn't that selfles, but then again, was anyone?), but as it was a youngster of the kind that tugged on his heartstrings and made him feel fiercely protective, Angeal was flinging himself into the water without second thought.

He hit the water with a splash, and surfaced with a panicked gasp, sucking in air as the cold water soaked through his thick fur, and Angeal paddled strongly towards the pup, jaws seeking to grasp the scruff of her neck to pull her towards the surface. He wasn't sure if he had judged the distance between them properly; the water distorted everything that he saw, but still his teeth sought her fur, hoping to tow her towards the surface and make sure she didn't sink beneath it again.
