He listened as she listed how their meeting affected each other, or at least how meeting him affected her. The stallion licked off whatever remaining water that was on his lips as he watched her dance about some. The thought of her being his friend made him smile just slightly. Although there was nothing wrong with his herdmates, it would be nice to know others as well. The offer of a swim sounded good as well as he nodded to her. "Both sound like good ideas to me."

 Immi grinned and then came close to the stallion. Butting her head lightly against his shoulder she wispered "Tag! Your it!" and then jumped into the shallow part of the river and ran down it's length kicking up water in her passage. She felt the spray hit her back cooling herself off and then turned back slightly to take a peek at what Tohopka was doing. The burgandy mare felt a bubbling of excitement as she played in the stream, her young spirit showing through.

Feeling her nudge at his shoulder, he peered down to her before watching her bolt off into the river and down it. He eyed her questioningly as he thought of what an odd mare she was. With a simple shake of his head though, he jumped in soon after and gave chase.

She saw him take chase and darted along the side of the river only to almost stumble as she reached the deeper section. Catching herself she jumped right in, her legs carrying her from the bank and closer to the middle of the river. It was summer and the stream floated lazily down through the meadow. It was quite easy to swim against the current which Immi did so that there wasn't too much distance between them. When he got closer however, she darted back just out of reach, teasing him with her tail as it floated out behind her. A few petals came loose and made their own way down the cool water path bringing colour to the clear blue liquid.

He continued to chase after her, letting her keep her lead in front of him for now. When she tumbled a bit, he even pulled back some, despite easily catching up with her if he so wanted to. He let out a determined snort as he followed her into deeper waters, swimming after her. At the sight of her tail, he tried nipping at it playfully, despite it still being slightly out of reach.

Immi laughed as he saw him n** at her tail and she let it flow out behind her like a flag. The water was almost soothing and her excitement bubbled a little softer as time went on. Her legs kicked easily in the water, propelling her a little further down the river before she started to glance towards the banks to look for a suitable place to wade towards shallower waters. She didn't want to get stuck in a mud puddle, that would not be good and it wouldn't be nice to lead Tohopka into dirty waters either. Glancing back again she changed direction and darted off to the side before turning and making her way back a bit, still keeping just out of his reach.

Tohopka continued to paddle after her. He was a good swimmer, enjoying doing so whenever the possibility showed itself. When she swam off to the side, he looked ahead to see if there was anything that would block their path. He saw nothing, but he just figured she did and followed after, flicking his tail lightly at her as she got to his side.

When she couldn't find a suitable place, Immi shrugged and continued back on, teasing Tohopka as she passed once more. She was a strong swimmer and she had noticed he was too. Deciding to see where the river would take them she swam on. The sun beat down upon threi backs and she could feel small fish darting from the movement of her legs. Alternating between staying closer and darting off she played with him in the water. Kicking up droplets of water she splashed her way though some lillypads, mobing them out of the way with her bulk. The fragrent lillies perfumed the air adding to the scent she always had around her. "These would look so pretty in my garden she murmured," There was no river nearby though so that would have been impossible.

Once again, Tohopka tried to n** at her tail as she swam past, yet another time. As she swam further up river, he stayed behind for a moment. He was feeling the heat, especially where his darker stripes were. With that, he took in a breath and dove under water. He had learned how to dive under some time ago, just never perfected how to go deeper as he came back to the surface, tossing his mane back and letting out his breath. With a relieved snort, he followed after the mare.

As Tohopka dove under the water Immi looked around alarmed. While she enjoyed swimming she had never completely submerged herself in the water. It was that moment that made her forget to keep swimming so that when the tiger-striped stallion came back up he was almost upon her. She felt the spray of his surfaceing upon her cheaks with a look of astonishment before disolving into giggles as the relief spread through her. "Well I never, you looked like a jumping jackrabbit for a moment there." She chuckled, trying not to show her embarressment of being caught worrying about something as small as his dive under.

The stallion didn't realize that not every soquili wouldn't be acustomed to seeing others submerge under the water. He always thought that everyone had done it to escape the heat, just because he did it. So he was a bit alarmed to see that she was a bit shocked to see him do it. "Did I really?"

"Yes," She giggled for a moment before trying again. "or like a duck when it comes up after dabbling in the mud." Her relief had made her a little giggly and she tossed her hair back as she swam a little around in a circle to face him better. "I've never seen someone do that before, how do you do it?" The burgandy mare often found that she could float better than sink and wondered what he did to push himself under the surface of the water.

Ducks dabbling in the mud? Has the stallion seen that before? He thought about it for a moment before remembering the sight of ducks with their bottoms in the air. Did he really look so foolish when he dove under the water? At her question, he just shrugged and thought of a way to explain how to do it. "...You just use force, momentum and your weight to pull you under. Once under, you can swim much like you could at the surface if you focus yourself on staying underwater rather than floating back to the surface."

His explanation made it so simple and Immi decided the best way to face her quick fear was to try it herself. Taking a breath she did exactly as he said and pushed herself under the water, ducking her head forward and into the crystal clear water. The section they were in was deep and slow so she didn't need to try and fight the current. Behind her flowers bobbed up as they came loose out of her hair. The lazily floated off down the river and when she came back up with a splash her hair was clear and loose, the long strands surrounding her neck as it surfaced.

He canted his head slightly when she took a breath, and watched her dive under. His attention was pulled away when he saw her flowers rise to the surface. When the floated away, he grabbed as many as he could without swimming too far from her side. As she surfaced, he turned and swam back, flowers carefully held between his teeth.
