The child's sassy rejoinder took her a little by surprise, her brow arching even as she smiled. "You can," she allowed, "but it's much safer to have someone else around just in case." Wildfire waved her tail, hoping Freyja understood she wasn't trying to spoil her fun. It had been impressed upon the Redhawk from an early age that swimming alone wasn't a good idea, even for the most skilled. Anything could happen.

Letting the subject rest, the Bandrona nodded. "Sure. Pretty soon it's gonna get too cold for this, I think," she said as she dipped her toes in the water. "I mean, you can technically go swimming when it's freezing—just like you can technically swim alone—but it's a pretty bad idea. Ever heard of hypothermia? You want to avoid that just as much as you want to avoid drowning," Wildfire explained, hoping she wasn't being too much of a mood killer. These were important facts.

Just in case, the yearling scooped some of the water with her paw, splashing it in the young girl's direction with a playfully villainous laugh.
