the trouble with storms

Some minor pp back -- and feel free to have them drag Skoll out together so we don't have to waste another post, hehe. <3


The water was freezing, and while it did not have the roaring, sluggish might of the ocean it was hard and fast. It was all he could do to close his eyes and let the river draw both of them along, his mouth clamped around his sister’s arm as he felt her fingers curl into the gold scruff of his neck.

Over the sound of his own desperate, hissing breaths and the howl of the storm Skoll thought he could hear a shout. The words themselves were whipped away by the wind and further obscured when water splashed around his ears, but he managed to crane his neck carefully in the direction of the call and squint. It was the patched dog male from the meeting, but that didn’t matter—what mattered was the fallen tree jutting out in the river.

Charlotte shifted slightly, and the young man gave a little tug of her arm to steer her toward the branches more directly. His hind paws kicked out, his curled tail caught by the current, and he managed to push her against the trunk, one large paw reaching out and his claws digging into the bark as he waited for Lottie to grab hold until the Serf could reach them.
