Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Water kick boxing??" Dekana echoed, chuckling, "I suppose you could but it wouldn't be terribly effective right now. You've got the right idea!" He grinned as she began to kick on her own, the motions entertaining in and of themselves and, sneakily, he let her move under her own power for a foot or two as he readjusted around to her head.

"Hold up a moment. Put your arms above your head," He took and rotated it so that the back of the hand rested on the water's surface to demonstrate, "And take my hands. Keep kicking and I'll lead you around while you get used to it. When you think you can, tell me to let go and I'll stay right by your side as you try it on your own. Okay?"

"Shhh...." He soothed, smiling, "Relax. I've got you - I won't let go until you want me to, Angeline. Just keep kicking, you can hear the burble of your splashes right? That's good. The faster and harder you kick, the faster you'll move through the water. The less you kick, the more you'll drift - that's best if you're tired or just relaxing."

Dekana drifted ahead of her, still holding her hands as he let her kick her way around, guiding her back into more shallow areas just in case she did in fact panic and try to stand up. "You're doing really well! Just remember to bend your knees as you kick - you'll wear yourself out."
