Totoka River Say Geronimo

Her gut clenched with anxiety as her friend went under, but she popped right back up and seemed to get the groove of it.  Rosalyn gave an appreciative laugh, but didn't answer; they'd need their breath for the swim more than likely! It had been a long time since she'd struck out from shore, and the first time she had done so, she could remember how badly it had gone.  Hopefully their luck would be more fortunate.

The cold seeped into her fur, but the exercise helped to keep it at bay.  She tried to feel where the currents were and keep herself situated so that if swept, Dakini would collide with her instead of open water.  Some insurance against this at least, if not a guarantee.
