Try not to beat your wings too hard. If the water gets too choppy, it'll be harder to stay on the surface. It might help if you think of the water like really thick air.

[ YOINK!!! Getting a grip under his arm to hold him up this time so he doesn't jostle any feathers too badly ]

That was a lot better! But don't forget about kicking.

( coughs a little, but thankfully didn't really inhale any water. )

Buh... r-right. Have to kick...

Ugh, I'm a year out from dance practice and I'm already getting tired.

[ Keeps his hand there this time, grip loose enough that Perci can move away when he wants to ]

It's always harder when you're just learning. Once you figure out the right motions, you won't have to work so hard.

What a relief...

I'm going again...! ( to his credit, he is actually trying to learn and succeeding, at least. he's clumsy about it but by god is he putting the work in. )
