Navia assumed Théadan would sink again, so when he did not at first, she grinned brightly as he floated, his body slowly rocking with the gentle waves. Perhaps she had managed to teach him properly. She said nothing to keep from distracting him, instead allowing him the time to enjoy the fact he’d accomplished floating. The only problem was she could see his legs beginning to sink toward the ocean floor again. She wondered why that was when she’d never had such a problem before. The grin on her lips faded as Théadan eventually came to a stand again. He pointed out what she’d noticed, that his legs did not want to stay afloat and she could only shrug an answer to him. She really did not have a clue why his legs wouldn’t float when the rest of him did.<br/><br/>“No magic,” Navia shook her head, but went ahead and laid back some to see if doing it herself would give her any ideas. It was just so easy for her; she could even sit up some in the water with her legs extended and her hands slowly pushing through the water. “Maybe your legs are too muscular and it makes them heavy,” she guessed, but could only do that. She really didn’t know. Théadan went to try again, but her focus was more on herself while she tried to decide if there were any points she could give Théadan. It wasn’t until Théadan was suddenly thrashing around in the water and his legs were strangely pointing toward the sun that her full attention was on him again. “Théadan!” She gasped her alarm, fear for him sending her rushing forward to try to help upright him once more. With him splashing erratically and upside-down in the water, it was difficult to get a solid hold of him, so it took a few scary moments of struggling before she was able to help guide him up to standing again.<br/><br/>When he was finally out of the water and able to breathe again, she was worriedly reaching out to help him wipe the water from his face. She scanned his face, searching for signs of distress or pain. If the water had gone up his nose, it was bound to burn and she knew that could even lead to a sore throat. Possibly worse than that, Navia knew negative experiences with swimming could affect people's overall opinions of such a pastime, leaving her nervous he might not want to continue. She also didn't want him in pain when they were supposed to be having a fun, relaxing day together. Navia needed to make sure he was all right though, and shifted closer to him to gently take his face into her hands so she could pull him close and inspect his face. She wanted to have a good view of his emotions and how he was feeling after taking such a prolonged, unintended dive beneath the water's surface. “Are you okay? Did you swallow any water?” She asked sympathetically, dark eyes studying his features while her hands cradled his face gently.<br/><br/>“No more floating for now,” Navia announced for them both whether he thought he was okay or not. She did not like how Théadan kept ending up under water. It was too dangerous in her mind. She even took a step closer, their bodies pressing together, to keep near him in case something else happened to him again. “Maybe we should take a break or try something else,” Navia frowned, her arms sliding around his waist to hold him closer, wanting to comfort him in case the fear that likely came with not being able to find the water’s surface was lingering but also to assure herself he was fine. It was nice too, his body was warm from the sun and wet from the ocean, making him very inviting. Navia tipped her head back to smile up at Théadan, “Now you have a couple options. We can go walk in the surf for a while, then try again, or I could try teaching you how to actually swim.”
