Traitors, NOT ACCEPTING

[Msshardy]

Lily immediantly stepped back, having forgotten she wasn't with this pack yet. "I can help." She offered. "I'm a really good swimmer. I can carry one on my back..." She trailed off, realizing Kite would probably refuse the offer.

"I-I can't," Kite breathed to Alexis, trying to focus on one voice before the other, looking from her pups back to Alexis. "I can't hold my pups and your tail at the same time. One of them will slip. They're only an hour old, they can't even hear the rain," she said, her voice quavering with mixed emotions. Fear, grief, mourn, exhaustion, confusion, and worry were all smothered into her head. They're not going to die, she told herself firmly, though the thought still hung heavy in her heart. She looked up at Lily, the fire of a bear in her eyes, willing not to trust the wolf yet. "Thank you, but this is my first litter," she said quietly. Very quietly, almost too quiet to be heard over the rain.

Alexis
She walked back over to them,"I'll hold one in my mouth,you trust me right." she said a little anxious. "I'll hold one or two in my mouth,so you can hold onto my tail,got it." she barked.

Lily frowned. "Then we'll find something that we can use. Humans have lots of junk around here, it comes from the lake." She splashed into the water a bit, picking at a blue scratchy sheet ((A tarp)) and picking it up gently between her teeth. She brought it over and shook the majority of the water off of it. She pushed it toward KIte. "This won't work for travel, but it could work to sheild them from the rain." She clipped her words off and splashed back into the water, searching the surface for anything that would help the pups.

Kite thought a second. This might not work. She felt like at least one would drown. "I do trust you," she said quietly, her voice still unstable, "but I feel like one's going to drown if we do this..." She looked over to her pups, crouching by them, warming them before whatever decision they made. She licked each one gingerly on the head once, each one mewling for milk and dry instead of hunger and damp. She looked up at the blue fabric the new wolf had dragged over. She looked up when the fae splashed away again, tracing her with her eyes.

Alexis
She growled,"Weel,were all going to die if you don't let that fae help!" she snapped. "How about this,I carry two pups,you carry two pups and hold onto Lilly's tail. I'll show Lilly where to go,okay?" she said sitting down.

(She only has three pups )

Kite looked back at Alexis, furrowing her brows momentarily at the edge in her voice. She looked over at Lily, and then the blue fabric again. "Or..." she thought as she began, a small plan hatching in her mind. "Maybe it would work if I could put my pups in the fabric and fold it over. That way they're mostly dry and they float. Then we can all drag it along." she looked up for possible approval or any critique to add.

[Msshardy]

Lily's keen hunter's eyes picked out the shape of a large barrel, made of a less scratchy version of the blue tarp. ((It's one of those plastic barrels some people use for letting their horses drink out of)) she bobbed it with her nose, and it moved freely. She pushed it up the shore and manouvered it around so she could poor the little bit of murky water out. She awkwardly gripped it in her teeth. "It's kind of gross and smells like a horse, but you could stick them in here and kind of push it. Though, if it doesnt work and it fills with water, there won't be any saving them." She warned, meeting Kite's eyes very seriously.

Alexis
"Yes,as long as you can hold your head high,but how will you be able to hold onto a tail?" she barked.

(oops.)

Kite breathed in and out slowly, attempting to calm herself. "I can just swim," she said. "I'll be fine." She didn't dare think about any 'what if' questions. She looked back at Lily. "We can put the fabric on top to keep it dry perhaps?" she suggested, and realized it would be too heavy and would fill with floodwater. "We need something to cut out a section first."
