The girl listens to the calico marked pup, her frown remaining, but she considers his words. Nothing was ever completely safe, and Rivin had to admit that sounded like the truth. She frowns, wondering if it is a good idea to go against what her father has told her. But… curiosity makes her consider trying anyway. She wanted to live her life and enjoy the thrills and dangers that it held. If she didn’t, then Jack was right, it wasn’t really living, now was it? The red-streaked girl appreciated his promise that he would be there, to try and keep her safe and monitor what happened. Rivin had never really considered being the sort to need protection. She wasn’t some frightened princess, after all. But Jack’s words offer her comfort all the same. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see the water sparkling under the light of the sun. She can feel its pull, and though there is uncertainty, she is not necessarily afraid. In fact, it is not fear that has kept her from the water thus far but rather that warning her father has given her. Despite her age, Rivin is not afraid to die. She is more afraid of disappointing her father, and her family. But if Jack had been in the water, and had swum before, then surely the water could be conquered by her as well. The calico-marked boy agreed to teach her how to swim happily, further offering reassurances. Rivin offers him a small smile, and a single word. “Thanks.” Though it is indeed only one word she means it with her whole heart. Her ears swivel as he starts the lesson, and her emerald gaze fixes on him as he explains. Feel the rhythm of the water? She glances down at it, feeling how it pushed and pulled at her legs. It feels powerful, but not overwhelmingly so. She says nothing as he continues the lesson. She can feel how, as the water is pushed up toward the beach, the sand shifts within it. She wiggles her toes under the water but thus far doesn’t move. “It feels weird.” Rivin tells him. “Not necessarily a bad weird, either, just… weird.” He asks if she is okay and she nods. The sensation is different, but she is not worried. Rivin takes the first steps forward, moving into the waves until the water coming in brushes up against her chest. It is chillier than expected, but she notices how that chill starts to fade away relatively quickly as her body gets used to it. The pull doesn’t seem to be worse here, and Rivin’s ears perk up curiously. “It doesn’t seem too much worse here, and I can still reach the bottom.” Rivin turns her attention back to Calico Jack. “It’s cold, but not really bad either? It’s… different.” Rivin smiles a little. “I think I like it.” "Talk," 'Think.' |
