Lionpaw - 100/100
RC | App | He/Him | 8m
Silver Tongue

Lionpaw sat back as the rest of his teammates worked hard on their skills with Ripplepelt. He snickered. Those slow-paws had nothing on him.

A skilled apprentice such as himself didn't need to train as hard as them-- especially not with something as basic as swimming. He was practially a natural at it. He survived a flood for Starclan's sake!

Just to prove it himself, Lionpaw lept into the water and swam around in circles with ease. Now, he was no graceful swan or anything, but he could push himself through the waves well enough. He was pretty boyant too all thanks to his thick fur, so keeping his head above the surface wasn't a problem for him.

It was getting his thick butt to swim faster than a bloated turtle that was troubling him. As his fur was soaked further it became heavier and harder to pull himself foward. It felt like something was trying to drag him away from where he wanted to go.

Eventually, Lionpaw had had enough of this "training" session and swam back to shore. He emerged from the water with fur so drenched it dragged against the dirt below him. Ripplepelt had been right about thick fur being heavy when wet. Lionpaw had struggled to pull himself out of the water and almost slipped back in, though in the end he did manage to get himself back on dry land. Afterward, he set to work grooming himself dry before anyone could notice him with his unflattering wet pelt.

@lesbianism (sorry this is so rushed! There's no need to repsond or anything since Lionpaw knows his basics and at the very least won't drown~)
