It became a lot more real when the light splash of water swirling over pebbles skimmed his paws. Magpie felt threatened, though that didn't scare him, in fact it did quite the opposite. He was sick of Cormorant thinking he had any right to request or demand, sick of feeling like it was out of his hands, and absolutely fed up with all the shit he'd planned going wrong. 

He didn't say anything, completely ignoring Cormorant and his struggles. He was an excellent swimmer, and even if his company wasn't, it was surely not as bad as it looked.

His foot slipped hesitantly over the rocks, dipping into the water gradually with a trembling step. He clicked his tongue in some sort of disapproving victory, ashamed of his previous doubts, and stepped further into the stream with Cormorant stumbling along in tandem.
