Alvar still hadn’t learnt how to swim, but near drowning didn’t do anything to dampen his enthusiasm. Seeing his sister investigating the Swallet Ring, he trotted over to her. She was already a touch taller than him, (which was unforgivable on her part) and gave her a better distance she could reach before her head went under water.
Luckily, she was in shallow water that allowed him to reach her without another ‘attempt’ at swimming. He splashed up to her, making sure his front paws hit the water heavily as he approached, sending droplets over her. “Whatcha looking at?” He asked, trying to follow her line of sight out across the Swallow.
