S'har takes in one large breath before swiftly diving down, cutting through the water like a knife. Keep Oli calm. he instructs Reputh, then focuses all of his energy on saving the drowning girl...

Reputh leads the panicking green to shore, crooning softly and sending soothing thoughts to her. As the two reach the sandy coast, he nuzzles her gently, the draconic form of a hug. 'Don't worry- S'har'll take care of her. Stay calm, for Serenity's sake- you'll only make things worse by panicking. We'll get her out of there, don't worry.'

S'har is just ready to surface for another breath of air when a tendril of hair brushes past his face. Quickly diving yet lower, he sees the drowning girl. He tries to pull her up, lungs nearly bursting with strain and lack of air. Reputh! Help! I can't drag her up by myself!

'Olianth' the brown uses her full name to emphasize the seriousness of the situation 'stay put! I'm going to help S'har. When you see us surface, help us drag Ser to shore. Remember, keep calm!' he pushes his bulk back into the water, muscles straining under reddish-brown hide, the dragon nearly skimming over the top of the water with the force of his speed. 'I'm coming S'har!'

The boy has gotten the now-unconscious Ser halfway up, and is flodded with relief when he hears his dragon's call. Over here! He pulls with renewed vigor, straining every muscle in his short frame, hoping against hope he is not too late. Suddenly, the pulling becomes easier, and S'har sees the brown head of Reputh pushing the girl from underneath. Together, they are able to bring her to the surface, both boy and dragon gasping at the sweet, sweet air.

'Olianth...NOW!'
