Feeling the rattle of fluid in his chest the colt cringed not wanting to know what else he might had swallowed out there in the water. His palette was dry as a bone thanks to the excessive salt and his body felt all crusty where the water had been beginning to dry. How exactly could he go home like this? Mother would kill him for getting hurt like this despite it being the filly's fault. Where else could he go? If he didn't go home mother would come looking for him when the darkness began to consume the land, he couldn't run away. Flicking his ears back and closing his eyes he rode out another wave of pain in both his head and leg and body, it was just everywhere. Hacking harshly he groaned with discomfort gasping to regain his breath. Damn girl, why did she want to jump off a cliff anyway?

Turning his eyes back down to her he watched her open her eyes to gaze around for a second before a flash of fur was all over her. Spooking at the suddeness his body tried to jump sideways while his leg was having none of it. Landing painfully on his injured leg he stifled a cry gritting his teeth together as his leg gave out under his weight. Falling to his knees the pain was absoultely horrible but he did what he could to struggle back to his feet holding his right hoof just barely touching the ground. Coughing some more at the exertion he felt like just giving up and letting the beach have him. He was too tired to fight it and it hurt a lot, but there was still the girl to try and help. Hopping forward again he flicked his ears to catch the soft words leave her lips. M..alive. Well that was a start but not the answer he wanted. Alive was good but he could tell that much from her breathing and talking knowing the pup was likely hiding her line of sight he couldn't help roll his eyes.

The next words made his jaw drop in complete shock, what was wrong with this girl? Why didn't he move? What? Why the hell was she running off a cliff? Why didn't she stop or move? Lost for words it took a minute or two before he could think of anything at all. " Move? Why should I have moved? You ran into me!" He said in haste completely awestruck. "Where did you want me to move? Off the cliff? Why were you even trying to run off the damn cliff? You could have gotten us both killed?" Fear had seeped back into his voice as it crackled along with his lungs irritating the hell out of him. He could see that she was scared but so was he. "Forget it, you're obviously fine. i'm going home." He commented not wanting to deal with the girl anymore if she wanted to blame him for something she had done. To think that he had tried to save her by throwing himself into the water. Tears formed in his eyes as mixed anger, frustration and pain consumed him letting the tears fall. Brushing them away he hobbled over to the hill that would lead home only to stand there staring up at it. How in the world was he going to get up that? Great, first he almost died in the water saving that ungrateful filly only to get to land and die as he couldn't climb the hill. Could this day get any worse?
