Welcome to Gaia! ::

Chamila swum along, her wings efficient boosters to her already-quick natural swimming speed. With their extra thrust she was unbelievably quick in the water, darting this way and that. She'd had to learn different ways to do the things that were easier for other, wingless novae - a corkscrew was tricky with these things in the way - but once she'd gotten the hang of it all she far outclassed her peers, who she'd previously lagged behind. Luckily, her mother had fins and wings as well and was able to help Chamila avoid many of the pitfalls of winged swimming.

She was traveling deeper below the surface, so she was barely a shadow on the water from above, and moving at an incredible pace.

Chamila fought to swing her wings down in the water so that she could stop in time not to collide with the stranger who had just dropped down in front of her. Damn him, that was dangerous! Either of them, or more likely BOTH of them, could get seriously injured at the speed she was traveling at!! What a jerk. Already she was pissed off and he hadn't even said a single word to her yet. He didn't look injured or lost and therefore he had no reason to intercept her like that. She came to a stop a centimeter from him, her heart hammering in her chest. Fuming, she demanded, "What are you DOING?! You could have just seriously injured us both!" if she had hooves to stamp on the ground she would have but instead she was left flicking her tail back and forth in severe irritation.
