Alibaster had quickly overtaken the others, leading the way towards Clapperclaw lands. He swam without struggle, and was soon nearing the shore.

Tau sighed in frustration when Alibaster just sailed along like it was nothing. Meanwhile, he was struggling, pumping his legs hard and trying to make sure Astennu didn't go under the water. "Having fun, little buddy?" He smiled back at his son but tried to stay focused on his task of swimming.

Khalfani was still very much saddened over Solluxander rejecting him, but he tried to move past it, swimming along. He, of course, stayed by Nuru. Strangely, it help when he heard the loud lion roar right behind them. It gave him a strong burst of energy. But hopefully that sense of urgency wouldn't make him clumsy in his swimming.

Tau was doing well so far! Maybe he was actually getting the hang of this swimming thing. Still, there was always the chance he might mess up at the last moment, so he tried to keep alert as he swam.

Baneth made it into the Morass, but her journey wasn't over yet. She glanced over at Khal and Tau, noticing her mate was having some difficulty. "C'mon Tau, you can make it!" she said, giving him a smile. Baneth made sure Adeleke was still gripping her back, and she continued her swim.

Khalfani was doing well enough, and though he noticed Tau starting to lag behind a bit, he kept up the pace, trying to reach the opposite shore.

Baneth continued the last bit of her journey, putting more effort into the last stretch than she had in the previous attempts.

She made it effortlessly, pulling herself up onto the shore with ease. Adeleke was still clinging to her back, and Baneth turned to give her a lick. "Good job, Adeleke, we're here!" she squeaked. "We've still got a bit of a walk, but at least the swimming is over," laughed the leopardess.

Tau was panting, but he kept going, smiling back at his mate as she tried to cheer him on. He paddled faster, desperate to not look like a fool with his child on his back.

Nuru had just barely entered the morass, a bit behind from her late start, when she saw Tau getting back, she very nearly dove forward to catch the cub. But they didn't seem to be going under just yet, so she simply tried to get herself next to them in order to catch Astennu if the lion had more trouble.

She had caught up, swimming alongside Tau. "I'll grab Astennu if you start going under," she panted, adjusting her pace to stay beside Tau.

Astennu wasn't paying much attention to his father's failed attempts at swimming, but rather the lipard cub was busy blowing raspberries into the water. "Pbbbbt!" he blew, sending water splashing all over his face. Astennu pulled his face out of the water, sputtering and giggling. "C'mon, Daddy! You can do it!" he squeaked before throwing his face back into the water.

Adeleke was relieved when Baneth finally made it to dry land, and she smiled and nuzzled her face into her fur. But then she glanced back and saw Tau and her brother get forced back and her eyes widened and she started panicking. "Mom, Mom! They're not making it! Are they gonna be trapped there forever?" She looked up at her with wide, terrified eyes. She didn't want to lose her brother and her daddy!

"No, dear, the currents are just strong today! They'll be okay! But if Daddy can't get any further, I'll go get him. But you'll have to stay here and cheer him on, okay?" she replied, grinning down at her cub. "Tau, if you can't make it, yell for me and I'll help!" she called, a bit concerned for her mate.

Tau grunted, not really wanting to rely on the help of a strange leopard, but he didn't say anything, and simply smiled across the water at his mate. "We're fine, don't worry!" Though his muscles were aching from the exhaustion. Taking a deep breath, he continued swimming, struggling to cross.

Determined, Tau pumped his legs harder, swimming along, struggling to not look stupid a second time in front of his children. Even if Astennu seemed distracted, for the most part.
