Ebisu soared above the two canines. Pink eyes that glared with tiny judgement. Chirping high as the sun beat down on his wings.

That didn’t distract Chisuke nearly enough from his overwhelming fear of water. Water rippled against his fur, pulling dirt and grime as he flailed. Only when she commanded him to stop did it actually work.

Blue eyes narrowed onto the chimera’d wolf. “Nani-sama da?” (“Who do you think you are?”) His maw scrunched with annoyance, ears flattening against his skull. Never was anyone as firm with him as Rinon was. Anyone who was, he left them. Well... he couldn't exactly leave this time. The sand kept him rather stuck. His scarred tail lifted up away from the water, teeth clenched against the pressure.

While his tone argued with her, he did exactly as she suggested. A twist of his body, an attempt to roll closer towards her. Whatever strength he had left of his adrenaline he purposefully rolled towards the big woman. Now he had to rely on her to be quick enough... a woman with a head injury.

Wasn't that such luck?
