Ouroboros Spine Working along

Oh dear! He had chased the poor thing back into her shell. There is a skip in his heart as he waited apprehensively for her to recover. And recover she did! He beams to her as she timidly wades out into the water to join him. He is earnest with his encouragement. Just keep coming in, your body will adjust and the water will feel warmer. He shuffles a little further into the lake to accentuate his point, water lapped halfway up his forearms. The tip of his tail trailed along the surface, making a shallow wake as he moved. He began to guide their walk along the edge of the lake.

Ticklish? He considered her question sincerely, Not really. The sand is soft and the water is cool on a hot day. I think it's nice. He offered her a shrug and continued, It's certainly easier than wading through a marsh. You never know how deep the mud is until you step into it.

His eyes lazily trailed from the rippling water and the light that danced atop each crest. You've never just took a walk along a lake before?

Despite knowing better, he considered lakeside adventures to be a universal experience. His mind drifted to long gone summer days of diving into clear water with his siblings and splashing after desperate frogs. He kept a level eye on how high the water reached along her body, keenly aware that she was much shorter than him. Have you been taught how to swim before?
