Indeed, as the brown queen had thought there might be trouble, on of the pups faltered in the strong currents of the water. The first clue Motif received was the flailing attempts at swimming and to stay afloat, in fact the pup wasn't even managing to fight the current any more and she was certain that in a moment he would be swept away from the group. She cut gracefully through the water until she was beside him and grabbed the scruff of his neck gently between her teeth. With her new burden she would struggle on ahead and pull him onto the bank on the other side, dropping him gently on dry earth and giving the boy a comforting lick on the forehead she would turn her attention on those still swimming across, ready to leap in again if anyone else needed the aid to get across. Already Motif was panting heavily and raising her head to the sky, wishing the constant wind and rain would ease up and allow the group to find safety without the added danger it presented.
