Tsk. She heard the splash behind her, head swiveling to look over her shoulder and sure enough, Laney had jumped into the water to swim after her. Slowing down, she let herself fall behind the two male wolves, wanting Delaeni to reach her before she turned her attention back to Aresenn. So she could grab her if she started to drown.

Still, she’d listen to the wolf’s instructions- they’d reached the halfway point, the island in the distance materializing with more clarity now. And Aresenn was right- the effects of the cold were far more intense now- her limbs starting to feel numb, making it more difficult to swim at an even pace. But she kept moving forward, her main motivator being Delaeni’s safety now. Her eyes shifted over to the girl, making sure she was treading the water appropriately, as they inched towards the island.
