Whitefish River The River

OOC: Sorry, I know that my character randomly almost drowning was news to you. I should have PM'ed you about it before I went ahead and put that in there. I hope you don't mind.

IC: Macawi lifted her snout further out of the water, snorting in panic. She opened her mouth to gasp in more air, even though she really didn't need to, and succeeded in swallowing a large mouthful of cold river water. She coughed and spluttered, still kicking out in random directions.

No! she told herself sternly. Do not panic! Keep calm! Keep calm. Her desperate kicking stopped, and she began to simply dog paddle in place, not being able to really move forward any, but at least she wasn't being dragged anymore. Her paws could not touch the bottom of the river, but she knew she'd be able to keep up the paddling long enough for the older wolf to get to her.

"Thank you," she called to him as he swam over to her. "This wolf is Macawi's life saver! Thank you."
