"Gee mister, you almost got carried away there. Good thing I was there to catch you, or you would've sunk to the bottom. Maybe you ought to avoid crossing next time."
That was the voice if an adolescent female, the equivalent of a human ten year old.
"T-t-thanks, I'll try to remember that," you chattered.
If she hadn't pulled you out you're sure you would've been done for.
You leaned into the Buizel's plush fur to extract as much heat as you can from her body.
The buizel girl seemed pleased by your gratitude and gleefully wagged her tails.
"You're quite welcome, little mister. I couldn't let a little guy drown like that, 'specially when he's so cute. How did you get in there, anyway?"
A tale of woe and danger danced on your lips, but you figured that it might be better to spin a yarn when you aren't freezing to death.
You sufficed to give her a long suffering sigh, and said, "It's a long story."
"Oh." She seemed disappointed by your brevity but didn't press any further.
The girl seemed innocent enough, she didn't seem keen on predating on you even though she certainly could.
You had a hunch that her species preyed on small fish, given her sharp teeth and adaptation for the water, though that was merely a guess.
Fortune smiled on you that she didn't mistake you for a fish.
While you pontificated the adsptations of her species Buizel began to nervously shuffle on her feet and slap the ground with her tail.
"So, um, I think that maybe I should take you with me? You're soaking wet. Um, I think I know of a place where you can dry off."
"Yeah, that would be nice," you croaked. Your body quivered and shook against the cold, trying desperately to warm up.
She adopted a worried but determined expression and patted you with her paw.
"Okay mister, you just hang tight, I'll get you somewhere warm."
