Sunsetbloom could tell her new apprentice was a little bit judgy of her at the moment, that was fair she'd been let down by a tom of mentors and the older molly was still new to her and she was well aware she was a bit odd. The thing was the warrior didnt care, the opinions of others were important sure but not important enough to sacrifice her own joy for life just to cater to others. Stars she didnt even care about the judgement she got for living most of her life as a kittypet before now being a bit silly to her student was small beans and hopefully she could temp Whitepaw into joining in the joy eventually.
"Alrighty Whitepaw feel free to wade on in and we'll get started with the lesson! This area is shallow enough to stand but when you feel comfortable in the water grab onto me with your front paws and start trying to paddle with your back. I wont let you drop under the water dont worry so just put your weight on me I dont mind! From there you just make scooping motions like youre digging into the ground below you with your back paws and you'll find yourself floating a bit~"
The warrior was confident she'd be able to grab the apprentice if she did slip and with her acting as a sort of flotation device for the young molly she could get the hang of how to move her back paws before they moved on.
