Unfortunately for him, the stones were coated in slime and not at all dry enough for his paws to find purchase should he mess up on his foot placement. So when he did slip on only his second jump, it was with a rush of fear and grasping limbs that he fell, finding quickly that the water here was just deep enough to fully submerge him.
The river's current tugged gently on him beneath the waves, but eventually he felt his paws brush along the bottom. After only a few moments of struggling he managed to break the surface, heaving a great gasp of air into his lungs as he tried to find his bearings — and caught sight of a dark wolf up on the bank, staring at him. In his surprise he stopped his attempts to free himself of the water, instead floating along as he called out. "Oh, hey there," he said, his grin wide and friendly.
Then, well. The river took the opportunity to grab him in his distractedness, the current suddenly strengthening as it dove over the edge of the waterfall — taking him along with it.
