Zsinor finished the piece she was eating before looking around, wondering what she was supposed to do now. She was looking for something that might tell her what to do next.

Paris could no longer take the silence. "Would you like to swim?" he blurted out suddenly. He knew she couldn't actually swim, but thought maybe he could try teaching her. Or at least give her a ride. The waves were so inviting to him right then.

Zsinor looked up at Paris. "Swim....?" she asked as she moved her gaze from him to the water. She didn't know how to swim, but would he give her another ride? Maybe she would stay in the shallow water while he swam further out?

"Yes. Come on then." He waited for her in the shallow water. "Would you like to learn to swim?"

"Swim....?" Zsinor repeated as she stood up. She walked back over to the water, flinching for a moment when the first wave touched her feet, before moving to stand next to Paris. She looked at him, questioning.

"Like I do. You can learn to do that as well," he nodded as he stared off out into the expanse of the ocean. He glances down at her from the corner of his eye. "Or you could ride on my back again."

Zsinor thought bout it for a long time, unable to come up with an answer. She looked out to the horizon, waiting silently.

Paris waited patiently for her for quite a while. But then he could wait no longer. He took Zsinor's paw and gently slung her to his back. He took a few steps into the water so it was covering part of her back. "Shall we?" He waited for her approval.

Zsinor looked beneath her as she was lifted onto his back. She traced her fingers on the slick parts of it where water overlapped, and then looked to him. She nodded, replying with a quiet, "Yes...."

Paris swam calmly out a little ways. The waves that lapped against his sides became bigger and smoother. Once they had gone away from the shore, he spoke again. "Take a deep breath and hold it."

Zsinor dipped her tail in the water, watching the ripples it created as he swam out further. She looked up to see the sore as nothing more than a small line on the horizon, and turned to see water in every direction. Her ear twitched as she heard Paris, and nodded before sucking in a big breath of air.

As soon as he heard her hold her breath, he leaped into the air a little ways, then dove down into the water. He was sure if she'd be able to open her eyes under the water or not. Swam quickly at first, until the came close to the coral. He watched the business of color in the reef with fascination.

Zsinor held on as she felt him rise and dive under, the water wrapping around her and covering her completely. She blindly felt the fish swim by, and turned her head to create small differences in the water. As he slowed, she hesitantly opened her eyes to look at the coral reef.

Paris glanced back to see how Zsinor was doing. He was a little surprised to see her with her eyes open, but he was glad she could see what was all around them. He knew she would need to breathe soon, so he headed toward the surface. He burst from the water, the resettled gently floating. "What did you think?" he looked back at her and smiled.

Zsinor looked at the moving colors, the fish swimming around this brightly-colored rock that seemed to sway and move itself. She closed her eyes again as she felt him head towards the surface, bracing herself to re-surface. As they were out, she rubber her face with her paw to rid herself of the water, and looked at Paris. "Pretty..." was all she could use to describe the place.
