A single act or many

Walk | Talk | Think

It was a small relief to hear that they were getting close, and even while a majority of her attention was given over to keeping her legs moving in the waters toward their destination Anais managed a smile. Almost there now, she repeated to herself as she redirected her gaze toward the island looming ahead across the water. It did look closer now, and with Glacier's confirmation she knew they were closing the distance now. Just a little more. Swimming might not have been her strong point, but she was still grateful for her mother's lessons now. They might have been conducted in still lakes and calm rivers, but the determined golden brown wolf felt sure that they were helping her now, as was the big figure next to her that she still occasionally bumped into despite her best efforts to keep herself on a straight path that did not involve being drawn into his side.

She was so resolute and focused in her actions that the unexpected gasp of her companion startled her, and with a noticeable stall in her paddling, she turned her head to regard him through wide, yellow-gold eyes. "What?" He laughed, surprising her yet again, though he managed to explain himself through his sudden humor. Fish! Curious now, Anais spun just a little in place, paddling in a half circle so that she could peer around them and into the water from the surface. They were a little hard to make out what with the waters all around them moving from their paddling, but she thought she saw their little dark shapes zipping by below them. Instinctively her thoughts went to fishing, but given the state of the water they were currently swimming through she knew attempting to catch one here would be unwise.

An answering smile stretched across the little hunter's face, and with a laugh she resumed paddling forward to try catching up with the big blue wolf who had gotten slightly ahead of her. "They do feel funny, don't they?" she commented, and her smile took on a more humorous look. "I hope they don't want to race." No matter her confidence in her ability to swim, Anais knew she was no competition for the creatures who lived below the water's surface.
