Inside the box was a beautiful bluebeaded anklet with a long-ish blue bead.

Aura smiled and put it around her ankle. She hugged her. "Thanks, and sorry I freaked out." She put Jojo down against the wall and put her feet into the water kicking them around. She wisbhed she could swim but her mom had never had time to teach it while they were on the run.

Cinsy smiled and gently pushed a wave of water toward Aura's feet. This was nice, but she was wondering where everyone else had gone. After all, she couldn't figure out how to put up the disco ball and it was sitting near the entrance, looking rather lonely.
((Where did everyone go?))
She sighed and then stood up, took off her shirt so she was standing in her tank top, and dove into the water, her eyes open in the dark coolness.

"Can you help me so I can o that too? My mommy never had time. As long as i dont drown." she said nervously. She wanted to be in the water just like she had.

Cinsy paused. She'd never taken actual swimming lessons. She'd had to learn because she had older brothers who would always push her into the lake when they went to the cabon. Except Jon. Jon was the nice one; he had always protected her.
She nodded and knelt next to Aura.
"You put your arms like this," she instructed, feeling very awkward. "And you'll do this and then you can kneel or stand. Either way, you get in the water. I like standing but we'll kneel right now. And you just push off with your knees and just - "
She splashed into the water and came up a few feet away.

Aura slipped into the water and copied Consy the best she could but startted to sink. She waved her arms like crazy trying to get up. She sobbed a little and water got into her lungs. She was a little unconsis and saw her life start to flash before her eyes.

"Hey. Just stay up in the shallow. I'm down here cuz I'm taller than you. But um ... let's see."
Cinsy clapped her hands gently on the water, thinking.
"We'll start with floating. My mom taught me this. Lay on your back, and I'll keep my hand on your back. You have to stay straight, but relaxed, and close your eyes. I won't let go of you and wander away. Come on."

She tried to get up and finally crawled out of the water choking up water and having diffaculty breathing. It had made her afraid of the water now. When she could breathe she crawled into the corner and grabbed her knees crying a little.

Cinsy walked slowly into shallower water and sat down, Girl-scout style. The current tickled her toes but she resisted from giggling. What to do, what to do? Obviously, Cinsy knew how to comfort her -- out of the water, but in the water was different.
((Do you still have ears?))
"Maybe you could be a mermaid?" she suggested.

(ok, whenever Aura isnt using her powers her white ears stay out like part of her identity now.)
She thought about it. A mermaid was just made up of a lot of diffent animals. She slipped into the water with just her legs still shaking alot from her fear. she worked hard to make a dolphin tail and covered it with golden scaled. She was panting and felt tired but slipped intot he water waving it slightly to stay up. It felt very weird, but natural at the same time.

"Or you could just have gills like fishies and be human every other way. Except you might want to get rid of the ears cuz I don't like ater in my ears, so imagine how it would be for you. Gills like fishies and feet like humans's, like on Water World. Have you ever seen that movie?"

She shook her head but liked her idea. She struggled to bring her legs back into two again and was really tired. Little slits opened onto her neck and she slipped into the water hiding underneith for minutes. She jumped up and splashed and then hugged Cinsy.

Cinsy faked a scream. Even though it was still semi dark in the cavern, the water was clear and it was easy to see where Aura was. She splashed back playfully, smiling the whole time and scrunching up her nose.

She shook her head and water went everywhere. "I smell wet fur......oh yeah," she laughed. "That's me," she couldn't stop laughing. She brought out claws in her hands and climbed up onto the cieling staring down at her.

"I bet those would be helpful against wild coyotes! Or wild dogs. There's lots of those out here. Fighting comes naturally -- to any specy -- when lives are at stake. Why aren't the Souls like that?"
