<strong>Xholkrox</strong><br/><br/>It was with relief that the young T'Skrang saw the other water occupant swimming so elegantly towards the platform he had just dived from. At least he wouldn't be in the water for that long, he hadn't realised the water was as cold as he now found it. He was sure it had been warmer this morning when he had been in for his exercise and bath.<br/><br/>Twisting gracefully and sinuously in the coldness of the river he moved as if he was born to it, which in truth he was. All of his kind were excellent swimmers and nothing was more enjoyable than showing off the skills within the water except perhaps talking about their skills which they did often and quite extensively.<br/><br/>With quick powerful strokes of his tail Xholkrox bent his waist and dove deeper before turning quickly with the blackness and headed up towards the surface as fast as he possible could, hoping that his momentum would propel him out of the water.<br/>It was a manoeuvre he had performed countless times in the past and if he got it right he would be able to  twist his body just so and land with his feet upon the platform. It was so much more elegant than simply climbing out of the water and also put him at a social advantage over the T'Skrang that was now clinging to the pole.
