Okay. She could swim though. But... her skills were not perfect. But for some reason, she had the courage to... to try. She would attempt it and if she went drowning, well... Goosefury wouldn't let her drown. He wouldn't, she knew that. So, knowing that in order to keep himself from drowning and to rescue her if she did end up drowning he would need his leg; she released it slowly with her tail before gazing across the water to the ground they would be training on. Okay. She could do this. Maybe. "I can swim. I think so at least. So... I'm going to try." She liked the sound of that word. Trying. That was what she was going to do for the rest of her life. Try. Try to be a good warrior... try to find her family maybe. And hopefully, try not to be abandoned again. But... she'd said she was going to try so there was no other way than... like try. So walking to the bank she slowly slid into the water, finding her body going on auto pilot and easily keeping her up even despite the mild current. She did it! She was doing it! And wasn't dying. But she couldn't help but send a small worried glance Goosefury's way. He was coming right? He wasn't going to leave her out here by herself was he? But... but she had to make it to that island and so, constantly turning her head back and forth - to check that Goosefury was still there and not gone and to check where she was going - she slowly crawled up onto the bank before turning properly around and waiting for her mentor, yellow eyes watching his every move, rarely blinking fearful that he would disappear if she did so. Blinking made cats disappear. She'd experienced that before.
