It began slowly.

A wisp of song or familiar sound on the breeze swept in from the lake. No source to be found, only the uneasy feeling it had been heard before as it coiled itself steadily inside the minds of the chosen. The sound was a mantra, pulsing soft at first and then louder, growing over days until it seemed to fill the skull, relentless. Come here, the lake whispered, cajoled, shouted. It is cool and quiet beneath the waves.

Come here, it presses now in time with the melody until there is nothing but to blindly follow. The water is calling.

Peggy's eyes are wide with the worry that comes of an answer like that after finding Natasha humming out loud, chest-deep in water. The dog still looks distressed and Peggy is fairly sure that she's not far behind, given the discomfort of this whole situation.

"Home," she echoes, getting ankle deep in the water so she can reach out a hand to her. "Home, here on land, where your dog is?" she suggests, hoping to hear a lovely little confirmation that yes, and Peggy's just being silly to worry.
