That sharp whistle makes Loki's head ring but he knows immediately what's going on even as his vision swims more.
Thor.
The knows is enough to get both creatures taking off after the blonde, shrieks and clicks leaving both of them as they bolt after the source of the noise barreling along without any hesitation.
Loki's breathing is frantic and unsteady as panic grips him and he staggers again, a part of him wanting to find his brother but he knows better. What good is he like this?
He's a risk. That's what he is.
Despite his vision still swimming Loki manages to slowly start for the house, hands out to steady himself on whatever he can grasp. He finds the porch railing and slowly guides himself up the steps, several boards creaking this time due to his steps not being as carefully placed. The rushing water behind him, though getting weaker, is still good enough cover and Loki manages to get inside the door, stumbling into the stairs leading to the second floor--
And that's where he crumples, finally blacking out.
Back at the pool, one of the creatures crept to the edge now as it doubled back, the plating around it's head splitting to reveal it's ears as it turned its head and focused. Soft clicks could be heard as it tried to find a sound, any sound--
From somewhere, a few houses down? Something--a garbage can--toppled over and the creature immediately bolted, its companion already taking to the rooftops to go after their new target.
