Theodore didn’t know what options they had left. The response he’d gotten did nothing to assure him that it was Emily, but… if he stayed in the water much longer, Isuara was going to be seriously compromised, more so then she already was. He didn’t, right then, care for himself. He just had to have hope that it was Emily, because he couldn’t choose between saving Isuara, or saving Emily. Feeling like he was ripping his heart from his chest, Theodore looked about, for any sign of land, looking to Isuara to make sure she was still awake [color=seagreen]”Isuara”[/color] he said softly, wishing things were different, wishing that they'd gotten on any other flight, wishing he could just make sure that they, that Emily and Isuara, were safe. 

Looking about them once more, he was sure he saw something... A building? Or was that just his imagination, him hoping that it was land, like a mirage? Did he want to risk Isuara’s life, on that? What choice did he have? There wasn’t exactly many options, but he really only had one shot, he didn’t think that he could go much further. If it was just his imagination… he’d effectively kill them both. 

Even the thought of being responsible for Isuara’s death chilled him to his very core, and he tried not to think that he may already be responsible for Emily's death. [color=seagreen]”Do you see that building, too?”[/color] he asked Isuara, wanting confirmation before he wasted energy trying to swim there. 

Opening her eyes, Isaura tilted her head lightly to the side, lifting it only slightly so that she was able to look in the direction that they seemed to be headed. Building..? What would a building be doing in the middle of the Atlantic ocean..?

[color=8FA4CA]“..b-building..?”[/color]

Her body shaking constantly due to the freezing temperatures of the water reaching into her core, she squinted her eyes, her now blue lips parting ever so slightly as she continued to gaze in the direction he seemed to be focused on, a large dark mass emerging through the smoke catching her eyes causing to try and tighten her arms around him further than they already were, [color=8FA4CA]“..y-yeah… I-... I think I d-do…”[/color]

Taking that as confirmation, even though it was strange to think of a random building. There wasn’t anything else to indicate land, but what choice did they have? [color=seagreen]“Alright then. We’ll head there”[/color] he said, taking a breath and beginning to swim, it was perhaps the hardest thing he’d had to do, push his battered, tired body through the freezing cold water. Stopping or faltering was not an option, and he continued to swim towards the building, [color=seagreen]”Just stay awake, okay Isuara? That’s all you have to do”[/color]

He tried to judge how far the tower was, but it seemed like an impossible task. [color=seagreen]”Nearly there”[/color] he said, not knowing if that was true at all, but wanting to keep her awake.

Stay awake… yeah… yeah, she could do that… she could-...

Her eyes drooping slightly, Isaura once more let her head come to a rest over his back, a soft mumble of understanding falling from between her lips as she felt herself slipping into the sleep both of them knew she needed to stay out of. The situation was bad enough as it was; if she went to sleep now-... well, there was that possibility that she wasn’t going to be waking up anytime soon…

Theodore looked to Isuara, wanting to make sure she was okay, seeing that she was falling asleep, and not knowing what to do. He slowed, as he tried to think of something to do., before making sure she was close against him, as he tried to think of ways of getting her warm, if only somewhat. Just until they got out the water. 

He stopped, treading water a moment, trying to figure out a way of getting her out of the water, at least better than what she was. [color=seagreen]”I’m going to try and get you out the water a bit’[/color] he said, hoping the sound of his voice would give her something to focus on, bring her back from the edge of sleep. He tried to figure out how he could get her on his back, [color=seagreen]’Do you think you can get on my back?”[/color] he asked softly, hugging her close. 

His voice… it sounded so close. She had to focus; she had to-... she had to open her eyes, if even a little bit. Her head turning slightly, she forced her eyes to open just that little bit more than they already were, her tired gaze resting upon the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with… no matter how short a time that might be.

[color=8FA4CA]“..I-I’m so c-cold…”[/color]

[color=seagreen]”I know, Izzy, I know. That’s why I want you to get on my back, okay? Get you outta the water a bit”[/color] he said, [color=seagreen]”Please, I don’t want to lose you, Izzy. You’ll be out of the water more on my back”[/color] he said, trying to keep his own fear from his voice, giving her a quick soft kiss, wishing that it was more, but knowing that was possible, right then. [color=seagreen]”Then it’s not far… “[/color]

[color=8FA4CA]“..I-I’ll try…”[/color] Forcing herself to move, she shakily brought her hands back to press weakly into his shoulders, doing what she could to move herself further up his back.

Theodore did what he could to help get her on his back, and once she was settled again, he started to swim once more, wondering if he had actually made any progress to getting to the building, he couldn’t quite remember how far they had been. Which he recognized as a dangerous sign. He grimaced, continuing to swim. They had to make it. They’d find Emily, and survive. 

He continued his diligent, if dead-tired swim, his entire mind focused on that task, on the task of getting to land, and finding Emily. Nothing else seemed to matter, right then. [color=seagreen]”Is it better, Izzy?”[/color]

[color=8FA4CA]“..a-a little b-bit…”[/color]

Her body still shaking against his, she shook her head lightly from side to side, doing her best to shake the fatigue from her body as she turned her attention up to the large towering structure of the lighthouse drawing closer with each moment that passed them both by.

A bit was good. A bit could mean the difference between life, and death in these waters. He tried not to think how Emily was faring, She was so small… looking ahead as the lighthouse drew closer and closer, but still seemed so far away. He blinked, reaching up to brush water out his eyes, frowning when he realized that there was something just ahead of them. Someone else swimming? But it seemed more than that… Where they trying to tow more than just themselves? The silhouette was rather strange…. But he supposed his was too, with Isuara on his back. 

Whatever they were doing, it seemed they were struggling, and Theodore found himself making his way towards them- they were along the way, closer to the lighthouse than Isuara and himself. As he drew closer, he saw that the woman- for it was a woman- was struggling with a dog, and a man. How did she get the dog out? For surely the dog had been secured? Shaking his head as his thoughts went off on tangents, Theodore found himself calling out [color=seagreen]”You need a hand?’[/color] He knew he should think about Isuara, getting her out of the water, of getting himself out the water. 

But the woman was trying to save a damn dog, what was he meant to do? Try to save the damn dog as well.
