Sea Lion Shores 'Cause they know who is righteous, what is bold, so I'm told

In all honesty, Acheron probably could swim faster than him, but Tuvaq was always down for a challenge - as nervous as the deep water made him feel. The Anneriwok followed him boldly out, keeping up well... at least, until the ground suddenly disappeared from underneath his paws. 

Tuvaq was fast on land, and pretty strong - to toot his own horn - but in water? His paws were immediately swept from under him and Tuvaq didn't even have time to brace before the current swept him under. Salt water filled his mouth and eyes and ears, and he'd never felt so disoriented in his entire life. Blinking under the water, he tried to decipher which way was up, but things were spinning so quickly that he couldn't really manage it. 

Well... this had been a bad idea.
