pure sweet violent hearts

lmfao well, Bhreac is now on par with Cerberus!

The water wasn't that bad. It was the darkness of it, the incongruity of it, that made Rio nervous. When Bhreac joined him in the water, the sound of her body splashing in made his ears twist back; but then she was wading deeper, waving her tail so that bits of water sprayed at him. He recoiled but followed at the same time, flicking his tongue out as droplets fell close to his lips. Gradually, the water rose up to his chest again. If he went much further, he'd lose his grip on the bottom - something that he wasn't prepared for, but knew was coming. Better to bite the bullet and get it over with! Without much more prompting, Riordan pushed off... And the feeling of weightlessness was so unnatural that he began to struggle, kicking with his legs and flailing uselessly. The water frothed up all around him, taking away any "big strong man" vibes he had been trying to cultivate.
