Cold Water Creek Ice boat

OOC!

Word Count: 

Tagg hadn't expected him to know his own boy, and this time the disappointment was avoided. He was still concerned for Chan, but he was more worried about the boy in front of him for the moment. This was more of an immediate problem.

Neo listened with wide eyes, then gathered himself and made the leap.  The ice disk bucked and bobbed, forcing Tagg to grip it tightly to keep his feet, but the year-long made it safely to the next space.

Tagg steadied himself and waited for the rotating disk to face thebright direction again before dashing across the slick surface and jumping. The ice tipped, dunking his feet in the frigid water, but he made it over the water as well.  He skidded to a stop near the middle, the ice swaying around them. "Good job," He praised when the ice stilled. "Just like that."

"Speech"  Thought

Neo Hervok Side by side or miles apart @Tagg made it across the ice moving under them as Neo looked worried at Tagg. What now? How many discs would they have to jump to get to the other side, he hoped not too many. As he honestly really did not like this even a little bit. Green eyes would look at Tagg "What's next" he asked voice shaking slightly as he felt his paws slip just so ever slightly with every movement of the ice disc. He wanted to get off the floating death trap soon, and he had to move on and find Nia, and Tagg had to find this Chan person so they need to move. So they could both find what they sought. Green eyes would look at the shore wondering how deep the water was here and if it be possible to reach the bottom and walk in. And yet the thought of getting into the water wasn't a pleasant one. Instead, he turns to look at Tagg again waiting for the man to instruct him what to next. Which he thought would likely be another disc jump, which he hoped would be the last. "Talking" OOC: sorry it's short...

OOC!

Tagg was uncomfortable being in the middle of the river, but it was the best way to cross right now.  The slowly revolving ice disk was slugishly making it's way downstream, and he spotted their next viable target.

"That one is going to bump ours in just a moment. On my mark, run for it." He crouched, gripping the ice with his claws and tipping his head so he could see the next ice disk and keep an ear cocked towards Neo.

The ice disk was almost there. "Ready..." He tensed, glancing briefly at the yearling. "Go!" He shouted right before they hit, sprinting forward and trying not to slide around too much.  He made the new disk just as they bumped, the force keeping them for dumping them into the water before they could center themselves.

Neo Hervok Side by side or miles apart Bump into theirs?! As in move against each other? That did not seem like a senary he wanted to experience but Tagg appeared to think it was. The pup laid his ears back a low rumble of a growl mixed with the high pitch of a whine left his lips as @Tagg tensed and Neo tired to mimic him. Crouching a bit and gripping the ice under his paws with his claws. Eyes would be locked on the disc coming towards them as he waited for the man to tell him to move. Then he did and Neo moved forth like an arrow from a bowstring. Surprisingly fast for a wolf pup and a wolf pup of his size. Legs would reach the other disc and he slips around for a moment before standing still. Eye falling on Tagg, a pleading look to them. "Can we get off now?" he asked looking over at the bank. He really wanted to get his paw's back on the ground and get off this spinning death thing. "Talking" OOC:

Tagg gripped the ice as it continued to slowly rotate. The next stop was the far bank. He glanced at his companion as the kid pleaded to get off.

"land next. We'll go together. Are you ready?" Tagg looked down at the boy that reminded him of his own son. He couldn't just leave him out here by himself.  

"This jump is going to be a little bigger than the rest, but it's the last one." He tensed, keeping his single eye on Neo instead of the target.  He was more worried about him than taking a swim. "Go!"

Neo Hervok Side by side or miles apart Land next?! it was land next! Thank god, the new he soon have his paws on land was geat new for the young boy. He nodded his head as he watched @Tagg, he was ready. He was ready to get off this freaking river ice trap. A bigger jump? Oh no, ho one, but he could do it! Tagg did not seem too worried so he could most definitely do it! The boy readied himself legs tensing as he bend his knees slightly to be ready to leap.  He had to make, he would make it After all he had a sister and a pack to find! The Tagg called the go and the young boy moved, leaping from the ice aiming for land. Unfortunately, his jump just wasn't quite long enough. But only just quiet. The boy yelped surprised as he hit the water, causing it to spray up around him. But he landed on his feet in knee-high water so moving forth was a natural reaction. Moving forth to dry land, and as his paws finally reached the snowy bank he shook his fur with a heavy relieved sigh "Thanks" "Talking" OOC:

Tagg gave the boy a moment to settle himself on the ground. It had been an interesting adventure, that was for sure. It made him miss his wife more than ever; she would have loved to see him leaping from ice block to ice block. He could almost hear her teasing voice.

It was Neo's thanks that jolted him back to the present. "You're welcome." He said warmly glancing over the pup to make sure he was alright. He was a little wet, but otherwise unharmed. "Where are you going from here?
