From frolicking in the steppe he'd made his way south, into the thick overgrowth of the swamp, broad paws pressing against earth that went from solid to soft. Like a sponge, he could feel his weight sinking slightly with each step. Of course this only amused the man, he took several moments - like a child to test the ground and watch it wane under his weight. In some spots the water even pooled around his foot; now he was wet. All well. He didn't intend on wandering too far into the murky swamp, not initially anyway, but when he went to turn away his ear would pivot, catching the soft distant sound of...well he wasn't quite sure what it was. But it was sing song in nature, too far for him to pinpoint the source, curiosity would drive him in.

Clumsily he began through the thickening trees, the ground becoming more and more unstable the further he went it seemed, ears swiveling at his attempt to catch the sound as it resonated off the dense pack of foliage and moss covered limbs, vines hanging limply from the mess of greenery as he trudged forward. A turn here, another there, it grew louder but still he could not locate the lovely song.

Eyes fixated ahead, attention lost to his focus until the earth seemed to give way beneath him, one moment there was earth and the next he was falling, a gasp and his blue eyes grew wide and wild. "Agh!" His front half collapsing roughly into the murky swamp water, only rearing his head back with just enough time to avoid dunking his head his chin splashed against the surface. The entire lower half of his body completely submerged. The boy lifted a paw, as if offended by the pool of slime he'd just fallen into, blue eyes gazing down with a look of disbelief he gave a huff - trying to search for solid ground again stumbling through the water and dunking his chin back into the water several times. The chill already beginning to set in over his skin.
