Talon had been swimming steadily toward the drowning man, carefully conserving his energy.
He cleverly used the underwater currents to help propel him forward, making his journey easier and quicker.
He knew he couldn't afford to exhaust himself and had to think strategically to be as efficient as possible.
Talon was determined to save the man as quickly as he could. He noticed that the man was frantically trying to keep his head above water, but his attempts were futile.
"Hold on!" Talon shouted.
The man looked increasingly exhausted, his movements becoming more sluggish.
As Talon reached out to grab his arm, the man reacted instinctively.
Realizing that someone was approaching, he turned and grabbed onto Talon with desperation.
The man latched onto Talon's shoulders, pushing him down in his frantic state.
Fortunately, Talon had taken a deep breath just before being submerged.
