[h2][u]Oswald Connolly-Lake[/u][/h2]

Following slowly after Shiro while scanning the shallower parts of the lake, Oswald turned to see Robert land in the lake. It took a short while for him to surface, but it wasn't going to be drowning that took the team leader, it seemed. It also seemed that Robert was taking a more active approach to the 'search' part of their 'search and retrieve' mission. Giving a likely-unseen nod of solidarity, Oswald continued his part of the mission, double-checking the path Shiro had taken, albeit at a slower pace. It took a moment for Oswald to notice his compatriot thrashing about in the water, but it looked less like panic, and more like...frustration? Was he bothered with how long this was taking? 

Deciding not to take a chance, Oswald figured now was as good a time as any to regroup and formulate a strategy. Taking a massive breath, he allowed himself to sink into the lake, turning his body towards Shiro and advancing on his feline ally.
