Lost & Scared

His usual routine of scouting out Ala was disrupted that day by the frantic calls of someone in trouble. Powerful limbs came to a sudden halt, audits pricking forward with attention, trying to locate the source of the distress. That voice...Seraphine? It couldn't be the little girl he had been playing with the other day, could it? But the continuous yelps from the youngster confirmed his worst fear. Seraphine was in trouble. Not wasting another moment, the ivory man sprang into action, limbs a blur beneath his figure as he ran in the direction of the youngster's calls, mismatched gems coming across the delta, a now very much active body of water, its icy depths like rapids thanks to all the melting snow from the passing winter. Seraphine's tiny figure bobbed above the surface of the water for a few moments before going under again, her tiny paws flailing all over the place as she struggled to keep herself alive. Seraphine! came his booming call, using his running momentum to throw himself into the chilled water, desperate to save the youngster.
Cold water rushed over the large man's ivory coat, instantly soaking him to the bone, his body going into shock at the sudden shift in temperature. Demonio fought through it, striking out with his powerful legs in the cold water, moving with the current as he swam towards the smaller figure of Seraphine, lunging beneath the water as he swam beneath him, bursting up towards the surface once more, the child safely cradled across his shoulders. Seraphine, little one, are you okay? Talk to me. he asked worriedly, working with the current as he navigated to the closest bank that would allow him escape from the water's clutches.
