Acheron offered a returning grin before trotting towards the edge of the stream. This would be a good place to learn; the ocean was dangerous if you didn't know how to swim, but here, Acheron could control things better. The freckled boy looked from side to side, eyeing the water for a good spot to start. Where they were now was too shallow, and it would do Tuvaq no good to try and swim in a spot where his paws touched the bottom. They needed a place deep enough but also close enough to the shore that Acheron could keep him safe. 

He trotted along the edge of the water a bit before wading in. In the center of the stream, the water reached only to his chest, so he moved forward a little more, stopping when he felt the bottom drop some under his paws. Backing up, he turned his head to wherever his friend was. This is a good place, he explained. But before we move any further, I want to tell you some things about swimming. Acheron didn't want to just throw him in with no direction. Once you step farther than where I'm standing, you'll feel the bed of the stream drop off; that's when you'll start paddling your front legs kind of like you're running, he explained. And once your back feet are in the deeper water, you'll do the same with them. Try to keep your head above the water so that you can breath.

Acheron slowly did as he explained and then turned to Tuvaq as he paddled in place. Ready?
