So Valta was having a land-claiming party. Nguruvilu had been interested - she had met Kotori after all, and that was why she was here! Like another contestant, a femme she didn’t know the name of, Ruu was stretching, preparing to do her best while swimming in the rapids. She didn’t intend to lose easy, but there was no telling how long any wolf would last in the rapids at their strength. And even still, with the rush of the current, they would have to mind themselves and not get exhausted… lest they get swallowed by the water and later the wolves were pulling a corpse out of their net. She took her place by the rapids and took slow, steadying breaths. Instructions were given and, the gist of it? Play nice with the others, don’t try anything sneaky, and last as long as you could. Then it was on. Nuru jumped into the water, the cool liquid feeling wonderful on the hot summer day. For a moment she went under but Ruu did not panic, setting her limbs to kicking as she fought her way to the surface. This was the “easy” part. They just had to keep themselves going, for now, keep it steady, and avoid getting too exhausted. She didn’t even look at her competition now, just focusing on keeping herself swimming.
