It all happened so fast. Through the haze of falling rain, Dacio saw Tux turn his head in response to the young Gona's fearful bark. The beat of hope that coursed his veins was fleeting, however, as he froze in place at the sight of his cousin's pale paws being swept from under him.
"Tux!" Dacio cried out over the wind, over the thrum of his own pulse in his ears. He shifted on the spot, torn between a fierce desire to pull his comrade free of the waves and a need to preserve his own life. The waves could just as easily claim him too, should he be too bold.
Straining a whine, he watched pitifully from the shore as Tux disappeared from view and set about pacing anxiously, just out of sea's reach. Ears pressed forward, high atop his sodden crown, desperate to hear a response as he repeatedly called the bi-coloured Rauna's name.
The sea spat him out onto the sand and Dacio sprang forward to assist. Jaws parted, he reached for Tux' scruff to help pull him further from the waves, and slackened his grip to bump his snout reassuringly to a golden cheek when he felt certain they were out of immediate harm. "We can't stay here," he announced, making a careful sidestep while keeping his gaze fixed on his cousin's slumped figure, silently requesting that he follow him.
Tux gathered shakily to his paws, padding carefully to pad alongside Dacio and together they ventured toward the caves to dry off wait out the worse of the storm. When the winds died down and the waves retreated, the boys plotted to see what sort of bounty that the sea had delivered to their shores
