Ve was pleased to see the winged Weaver overhead. She nickered softly to herself as the young pup fell into the river. Halting, Vertigo kept her sapphire eyes on the youngster. He was fine, clamoring back up onto the bank again, running after his father. The draft moved on, wondering silently to herself if the same thing had managed to happy to the lost pup. It wouldn't surprise her, considering how the father otter continued to mosey forward, totally oblivious to his tiny shadow.

A squeak dragged Vertigo from her thoughts and the female halted again, dark eyes searching up and down the river's waters. The other antlered female was spotted moving into the water further down and it was only then that Vertigo spotted the lost pup clinging to something as it floated down the river.

Weaver appears soon after, holding on to a branch. The large female moves into action, plunging her large frame into the water. The current has little to no affect on her, large dinner plate sized hooves digging into the mud beneath. The river's grasp is only chest high on her painted form and she moves as quickly as she can towards the pup. As quickly as she can is not very quick at all. Though she is large and able to keep her balance, the current is still enough to push her back a little.

The winged filly has made herself useful as well, spreading her wings wide like a backup net in the event that Weaver's fails. With a grunt and the grit of her teeth, Vertigo pushes forward. “We're coming little guy! Hang on!” Her voice is broken slightly by the effort of her swimming. Her large antlers suddenly becoming a nuisance. Her antlers!

Shaking her massive head, Ve manages to loosen one of the hanging vines just enough to grab it with her teeth. She yanks it hard and the vine manages to snap. It's not long, but long enough. The female tosses it out like a line, hoping she's close enough to the pup for him to grab it. She won't be weak here. Vertigo is bound and determined to make herself useful.

"Talk."

[Vertigo jumps into the river and tries to get close to the otter pup. She tosses out one of the vines hanging from her antlers like a line to try and give the otter pup something to grab.]
