[se] watching in slow motion

In the middle of the night, when I'm in this dream
It's like a million little stars spelling out your name

Grab on!

The mental voice had Raelyn's head snapping around to find the source, and a jolt of surprised recognition rose within as she saw a polar bear - not in the least native to the Grounds - swimming towards her. It had to be Noah, which meant that he was an Attuned or a hybrid or something else entirely. Either way, she wasn't going to look a gift polar bear in the mouth, and she flung a free arm around the beast's neck as she held fast to the driver with the other hand.

The water was cold, but not unbearably so - though Raelyn was less than pleased to be soaked to the bone as they were propelled towards shore by the bear's powerful paws. As soon as they reached the shallows, Raelyn dropped her arm from around Noah's neck and dragged the driver the last few feet to land before flopping to the ground with a huff. Swimming through the torrential river had taken more out of her than anticipated.

You gotta come on, come on, say that we'll be together
Come on, come on, little taste of heaven

Raelyn
