I just wanna live well I'm alive
His mock horror first surprised, then amused the young girl. She stifled her laughter and crept closer to her hero. She turned her expression into something serious and nodded her head. "I'm sorry. It's too late for you. You'll be a mud monster by nightfall" she informed him sadly, shaking her head in dismay. She crept closer yet, hoping her words where distracting him. When she was right before him, still only ankle deep in the water she pounced, leaping upwards and swiping at the mud that smeared his face. She succeed only in smudging it and taking the barest hint away with her. "Ah ha!" She cried. "There will only be one monster here" she informed him, wiping her paw on her head before she let her leg fall back into the water was tricky business but she managed it all the same. After that she began to prance about in the shallow water, her tiny trace of mud purposely smeared onto her forehead as she walked with prideful movements, prancing, really, through the water.

He would call her the best mud monster, and she tossed her head high, glancing over at him, with an expression that clearly said 'well duh' but she grew bored of the game quickly and settled in the water again, washing the bit of mud off her cheek with a paw and moving back to Ren's side. “Lets swim” she said boldly, already well over her earlier fright in the water.
She didn't want to say in so many words that she couldn't swim, but she was rather eager to learn how. They lived on a beach, and if she could show daddy she could swim surely he would let her go out there, right?

Her friend would be quick to agree, and she looked to him with sharp, and watchful eyes. She was going to learnt hrough observing, too proud and determined to ask him to teach her any other way. “I know” she told him, her voice a little exasperated as she explained some tricks to her. Of course, despite her words she latched on to the advice, taking it in and considering it. Don't panic, it was good advice if she could keep to it. Luckily the young wolf bounced back easily and she held no fear of the water, she was bold and fearless – or so she liked to believe. “You go first” she told, waiting for him to start swimming so she could see how.

Ren was stepping back in the water, perhaps trying to find the deep end. If that was his intention, he succeed. She wasn't sure what happened, but he stepped and then suddenly he was gone, falling into water much deeper then it had been a second before. She leapped forward in surprise – uncertain what she could actually do, yet incapable of just leaving him to his fate. When she found him lightly treading water and watching her with ease her surprised, and worried expression hardened in a heart beat, and she scowled at him adding in a little extra strength into it so he wouldn't think she had worried or anything.
She paused her posturing then to study his strokes, he was using his paws in sync, first his front, then his back, to tread water. She frowned, and thought about it. She had flailed, her limbs going everywhere – she just needed them to work together, that was it? That was the secret to swimming? Well, she could do that.
She stepped forward into the deeper end, plunging instantly into the water – fearless, and stupid, as ever. As her head went under she started questioning her sanity, but she didn't panic. She listened to Ren's words, despite how she might pretend, she looked up to him. It took her only a moment to get her paws working in sync, she didn't try thrashing them this time. She pushed her two fore paws together in synergy, and then found her head free and above the water. She took in a deep breath, and beamed. She was swimming! She did a lap around Ren, just to show him. “Told you.” she told him.

As she pulled her head up out of the water casting her eyes in Ren's direction for the required praise her achievement earned, she would see a funny expression pass his face. She wouldn't think anything of it of course as she began to take great joy in paddling around in a circle. This was amazing fun! This was incredible! She was swimming she laughed, tossing her head back as she did a tight little circle.
She was getting awfully tired awfully fast however, so when Ren cut their little experience short she didn't even argue. “What if I want to stay here forever? Dad's rules are coming out of my ears, there's so many” she pouted. Ren was young, but acted like an adult, but didn't make rules only looked out for her, Ren was pretty amazing in her books, even if she would never tell him so. She climbed out of the water and groaned, rolling onto the grass. Her arms tingled from an exercise they had never been submitted to before.
