[Fawn]

Fawnsqueak had forgotten how strange it felt to be walking along the bottom because the sand beneath his paws was washed away with the tide rolling in and out. It was an almost dream-like experience to feel weightless. "You're coming?" he inquired with a tilt of his head, perking up at the possibility of Eagleflower joining him. As if worried he'd pressured him, he added, "You don't have to, if you don't want.."

He watched Eagleflower's dive into the water as he got deeper in, somewhat impressed despite its clumsiness. "Wow, you're-- actually getting in." Fawnsqueak was alert in his observation, waiting for any signs of distress that suggested they were better off returning to the shore. "Just... don't go in too far, okay? It's kind of dangerous. The tide..." And if that happened, he had no idea what he would do since he wasn't a strong enough swimmer to support both of them.

A little smile twitched in the corner of his lips. "Yeah, that's not half bad, honestly. You're better than most apprentices when they first start out." Despite the lack of grace, Eagleflower seemed to have the mechanics down, and his muscular form made it much more feasible.
