“Yes we really live here.” Silverfang purrs. “And I hope we’ll live here for a very long time. It’s dark because it’s somewhat under the ground. That’s part of what makes it so safe here.” She hums as she starts to walk towards the waterfall, realizing that is what the kit is excited to see. “This is our waterfall. I suppose it is quite pretty, isn’t it?” Silver explains with a soft laugh. The glittering water almost looked like tiny stars falling into the stream if the lighting was correct; if only Frostheart were still here to look at it with her… unless Frostheart is riding on her back, that is. Silverfang’s not quite sure what to make of that.
She wanders closer. “If you try to touch it from here then you’ll fall into the water. We can’t have that but I’ll see what I can do.” Silver purrs as she ponders the question of how to get the waterfall into easy reach of the kit. Silverfang doesn’t have full faith in her swimming ability but Whitecliff had taught her some, so the easiest way to get out there is to swim. “Hold on tight, Frostkit, and don’t try to get under the waterfall. It’ll pull you off my back if you aren’t careful.” Silverfang comes right up to the stream’s edge on the inside of the waterfall and dips her front quarters into the chilly water. She stretches out, using her front paws to paddle and keep herself afloat while her hind claws and her flicking tail to keep her balance and anchor to the bank. She’s careful to avoid the roughest water but she manages to get close enough that the waterfall is coming down in front of her nose; Frost could climb on Silverfang’s head and touch the waterfall.
Hopefully the kit isn’t dumb enough to end up in the water; Silverfang can probably fish Frost out if that’s the case. Maybe she’ll eventually end up teaching Frost to swim even. I don’t know.
