nice to sea you again

Strais heart hammered in his chest. Loud and painful as he was dragged to shore. He lost a little time, he didn't know when Spider released his scruff, but he heard the other wolfs words as they whispered them in his ear. Then there was ground beneath his back. They weren't fully out of the water, he was too heavy for Spider to drag without the buoyancy offered by the ocean. But it was enough. He dug his paws into the sand, wheezing as Spider pulled himself onto his chest, and pressed down. "Stop" he said weakly, moving a paw to push Spider. But the motion was laughably weak.


His head hurt something awful, and everything was so bright and loud. He scrunched his eyes closed, ignoring the blood that trailed down his scalp and pooled in his ear. "You could have left me there" he said. Certainly it was a lot of effort on Spider's part, and Strai had caused the other wolf enough grief - including shoving them into the ocean in the first place.
