Sawtooth Spire DOS is more complicated

He couldn't know the reason why Atuaserk ran, only that he did and Iqniq was right there with him. The puppy splashed forward into the water, nose diving in his search for the "evil pico". Iqniq's father senses tingled as he instantly reached for the boy's scruff and pulled him out of the water to drag him back to the shore. This creek was significantly deeper than the little brook he'd first introduced the boys to. They couldn't splash around in this one. They'd need to swim and Iqniq wasn't sure that was something they were capable of yet.

He eyeballed Atuaserk who now sat on the shore and tried to decide whether or not he wanted to risk the potential drowning of his first born. Then again, if he was going to teach the kids to swim it was better done one on one as opposed to trying to rescue all four children simultaneously. Talk about a scenario where a parent was suddenly forced into playing favorites.

"No more Pico," Iqniq said with a quick shake of his head. "All gone." That particular game was over, but he had something new in mind. "Does Ata want to learn how to swim?" he asked. If it was too early for swimming, maybe they could try floating or some sort of other baby step towards swimming.
