Welcome to Gaia! ::

He looked over the information in front of him thoughtfully, she didn't sound like she were any more or less dangerous then some of the other kids that he'd had train in the pool. Those like Simon were the first that came to mind, he tapped a finger against the paper on the clip board, skill ideas were the 'deathroll' which he knew about from his reading both what it was and its uses. There was also the ability her species had to hold their breath for long periods of time which reminded him of the little dolphin girl Del. So he would put the two together since both seemed like they could be useful skills, he hoped that she never had to deathroll someone or something but in the case of that emergency...

He walked over to the edge of the pool to look in, there was a dummy floating in the water, he'd not wanted it to look human cause that would make him wince when she practiced on it, so instead it had a neutral look to it, humanoid without any distinct features. It floated at the top of the water but could easily be pulled under the surface.

He set his clipboard aside and went to fetch himself a pair of goggles so that he could get into the pool and watch from underwater the girls progress. She should be arriving any time now and when she did they could get to work.

Orpheus turned around at the voice giving a smile, "Hennet! Yes, it has been a while, almost to long. How are you?" He asked before looking over at Yeesha, looking her over closely, she wore bandages but whatever had happened it didn't seem to have broken her spirit, instead she sounded rather excited about swimming. That was good, then again he didn't think that he'd ever had anyone not want to dive right into a lesson, though the flying class had gotten awfully interesting due to that...

"Feel free to get in the shallow end to get used to the water, I will explain todays lesson after that." He told her, then turned to the other teacher, "Wanna hop in?" He offered, "A good swim is quite refreshing." and he looked like he could use refreshed... that or use a nap.

He watched Hennet go before nodding to Yeesha, "Coming." He allowed her to lead her as far as the edge of the pool where he paused to switch out his glasses for the goggles, thought for now he just had them hanging around his throat, "Alright." He hopped into the pool and waded out far enough that he could catch hold of the leg of the dummy, "One of the two things that we are going to work on today involve this here." He explained to Yeesha, "Your species has a neat ability, one that I find rather facinating." Though a little scary were it a full sized alligator doing it as opposed to a little alligator girl, "Its called a deathroll."

He looked over at her to make sure that she was following him thus far, "They will clamp their jaws onto what their going after, pull them under, and as the name suggests they will roll."

He released the dummy, "The other thing we will be working on is your ability to hold your breath for long periods of time as the two do coenside with one another."

Orpheus looked her over then gave a 'hmm' sound, "If you need to use your hands instead of your teeth that is understandable. Alligators themselves have much longer jaws them you yourself do. I am sure that if you have a good enough grip that it would work either way. Want to give it a try?"

He scooted back and motioned to Hennet to do the same, he wouldn't want for his fellow teacher to get kicked or something while Yeesha was doing her rolling.

"Not that bad actually. Here this time how about we see about trying it underwater?" He said, putting his goggles into places he moved over to where the dummy had floated off too after Yeesha had released it, "Do you need goggles or are you ok with opening your eyes under water?" The water was free of any chemicals now that might bother the eyes of his students so it was now up to personal preferance more then anything, "If you are alright as you are then we will head underwater."

"Alright, we are gonna sink down into the water, once you get used to being under there, if you want to try to do the roll again I think it will be easier under the water, use your tail as a propellar to help you to spin." He thought that might work. It was hard to teach sometimes when he lacked a tail or wings or whatever else his students had. He would help them to figure it out though through, normally using trial and error. He dove under, pulling the dummy down with him.

Orpheus came up a moment after her, shaking his hair out of his eyes, "That was wonderful Yeesha!" He said, clapping for her, smimming over to where he could reach and he pushed his goggles back from his eyes.

She'd accomplished both of the tasks that were set out for her and had accomplished them well.

He looked down into the water then gave a sound of delight, diving back down into the water, down to the bottom and scoope something up before returning to the top. He held his hand out, a glass sphere that held in it was a tiny ring that seemed to from a bubblegum machine. A prize left over from one of his other classes that was never fetched out of the pool, a good thing he decided now.

"Here you go."
