Whitewater Gorge do not speak against the sun

you went inactive so i'm gonna tack on an ending and archive this.  if you ever come back, let me know if you'd like to continue the thread!

just as she is about to turn tail and head for the hills, the man falls into the water and the noise of his struggle draws her forth, intense heterochromatic eyes watching him struggle.  

she does not interfere, lest she be pulled into the raging rivers herself, but she dances on the edge of banks, back and forth as he struggles to pull himself from the icy grip of the gorge.

finally, he makes his way to the bank, cold and dripping.  reigi skitters back, remembering her trophy yet still curious about this strange boy who'd tried to fare the waters.  her ears push forward assertively as her tail wags once-twice, brushing each of her hocks.

and then, suddenly disinterested in the dripping creature, the fickle girl turns on her heel and runs.
