Ouroboros Spine car crash

Ha. There. She was moving. Perfect. She slowly coiled up that paw and limped out into the water. Kero backed up with her, stepping in the reverse until he was up to his shoulders in the water, but still touching. Kroc managed to walk out a little ways, but stopped herself before she could feel the benefits of being buoyant.

"You're fat. Get out here and float." He jerked his head towards deeper waters and moved in that direction himself. When he was barely touching, Kero sucked in a deep breath, fully inflating his lungs with air and just let himself float on the water's surface. It was awkward, so he released the breath and paddled a bit. "Come on. Use that arm and swim." The water resistance would help. Far less pressure than gravity.
