Sex: MaleTangerine gaze focused intently on the young girl standing at the shoreline, charcoal dusted tail swaying above the churning water below. Eventually his risky behavior had sunk its hook into the girl, metaphorically tugging the rope around her shoulders to coax her into joining him in the untamed river as one leg moved forward before pausing, another soon joining the first until a small gap lay between herself and shoreline she left behind. The grin upon his face widened witnessing her follow in his footsteps, gaze catching the swift heaving of her sides as exhilaration flooded her veins, but the look didn't last long. Excitement was stolen and fear stuffed in its place.
Oh how Karma always seemed to have it out for the man whenever he let his ego become too inflated. Immediately russet ears were pinned back against his skull to muffle the shrill scream that suddenly erupted from the dark russet girl, citrus eyes slammed shut for what felt like eons as the current continued to churn around his limbs and chest before he finally dared to open them when the scream died down. "Eirian, watch out!" What he say only caused his ears to splay back further, the expression of confidence once nestled upon his features wiped clean away and instead replaced with his own look of fear. "Nalda!" Wide eyes grew wider watching Nalda be swept away by the current, unaware that he himself would soon be joining her by the very object that had caused her to scream in the first place.
There was no time to think, only do, as creamy limbs lunged themselves with the power of the current at his back to help propel the Asurn downstream toward the female who was in very real danger now because of his foolishness. He had thought himself greater than the power of mother nature and now she had every intention of reminding him that was not so, reminding him they were both but a mortal soul that could be taken whenever she willed it. Like a fly ball out of left field the mystery object had managed to make its way past the larger boulders upstream that kept it at bay for now, a whoosh of air leaving Eirian's lungs as the weight of it knocked his legs out from under him and suddenly there was nothing but the roar of the current and water filling his ears, a fire in his lungs the river could not extinguish. He needed air and he needed it now before the water dragged him down to his watery grave to become the next washed up corpse for a hungry scavenger to find.
Panic began to sink in and his limbs paddled furiously against the current to try and breach the surface, his snout always coming just a hair shy of stealing a breath before being dragged back under. Scrambling against the gravely bedding Eirian strove hard to find something to hold him back from being swept down further, a sign of hope shining bright when his nails scratched against the surface of a boulder just big enough to perhaps give him enough of a boost to reach the surface. Rear legs coiled and sprung without further thought, a loud gasp sounding when his head emerged above the foamy water and his lungs greedily inhales as much oxygen as the could hold. The joy of breathing was short lived, though, as his eyes frantically searched for the silhouette of @Nalda , calling out for her in hopes of hearing a response, pleading to whatever deity that was out there listening that she hadn't been devoured by the ravenous river. "Nalda?! Nalda where are you?!" He had to get to her. He had to get her to safety.
