Phoenix Maplewood No one's ever left me quite this sore

Success! Her sudden motion was enough to throw Arion off balance. He stumbled and she wrenched her body, trying to toss him into the water, while he sputtered foreign curses at her chest. Her ears preened forward and she hesitated. She was on the verge of asking what language he was speaking when Arion got his bright idea, so she wasn't ready at all when he pushed forward. Her balance tilted precariously backward and then failed her, and she tumbled ass over tea kettle into the water, presumably with the Greek following.

She gasped as water rushed into her nostrils from the sudden impact and shock, and then spent the next half a minute sputtering and coughing. Her whole snout burned inside from snorting water. Her limbs flailed for at least half of this time as she tried to orient herself again, but eventually she was able to still her lungs and body. She was laying in the stream, soaked to the bone, and her chest was tight from expelling all the inhaled water from her lungs.

She whipped her head around in search of Arion, ready to (playfully, at least) give him an earful for trying to drown her.
