"I'll just be right on the...end." he said,not mentioning which end of Shade he'd be on.

She nodded, slowly letting go of him.

He stood and,shaking his fur a bit,took a step back then jogged and dove back into the water behind them with little more than a faint splash. Clarity huffed. "Show woff."

Akira watched him, still trembling a bit.

Shade closed the wall after Justice was out but he left a little area where Akira could still see him.

Justice went under for a moment then bobbed back up. He turned around and used his tail to keep air in the furr to keep afloat,then gently took hold of the...back of the floaty thing and then started kicking and pushing Shade forward. Shade kept their direction toward the land.Hopefully there was no creepy creature things in the water to try and eat the pink and teal fluff.

There totally were creepy things in the water. But they didn't recognize justice as food.

Akira kept watching him, making sure he didn't drown.

Good because he probably would be to furry to eat. He soon just latched his jaws onto the Shade floaty and then used his four legs to thrust,his tail now swishing and helping him move forward.He totally didn't look like a fluffy crocodile...totally.

Clarity pretended to be a ship captain pirate thing and started giggling as she pretended that Shade had sails and she began hoisting.

Akira smiled faintly at Claire, but didn't take her eyes off Justice.

She probably shouldn't because every now and then he unlatched to breath and his head dunked a little.

thats what made her so worried.
