“Alright, kiddo. Time to get your water wings,” said Cassie, as she gestured to the pool while kicking up some water. She’d donned a deep blue bathing suit for the outing; nothing too flashy. Cassie had been put in charge of teaching a few kids how to swim, which was alright by her.

Yet she couldn’t resist a smirk. “Come on, don’t be shy,” she said, narrowly stopping herself from patting the kid on the back. Thankfully, he didn’t seem to be checking her out, which was more than she could’ve said for her other young boy mentees.

His first swimming lesson had gone well, and he had learned enough to know the basics. However, he still wasn't a strong swimmer, as proven when he nearly drowned at the beach and had to be saved. It was embarrassing for him, as he preferred to do things on his own and disliked depending on others.
[break][break]
The near drowning incident made him realize that one swimming lesson wasn't enough. It was like a band playing a gig after only one practice session; it wouldn't work. He should have realized that, especially with his eidetic memory. But having a good memory didn't help with muscle memory.
[break][break]
Even when swimming at the beach, he felt awkward and unsure of his abilities. He should have listened to his instincts that day. However, growing up in isolation had made him rash at times, which was a bad thing. Acting rashly meant acting without thinking, and the consequences could be significant.
[break][break]
The near drowning had been a wake-up call, and he had scheduled another swimming lesson. This time, he would be learning from a young woman he had never met before. She was known for helping kids learn how to swim, although he supposed most of her students were younger than him. Weren't swimming lessons usually reserved for toddlers?
[break][break]
Upon arriving, he was greeted by a young woman around 's age. The introductions were brief, and they finally began the swimming lesson. Mirage, the Hisuian Zoroark, was there for moral support, watching from a safe distance near the wall.
[break][break]
Absalom was too focused on Cassandra's instructions to pay much attention to Mirage. When she mentioned not being shy, he huffed but eventually got into the water. "That's easy for you to say. You're so good at swimming, and here I am, thirteen years old and still struggling," he pointed out, but he did get in the water.
[break][break]
It was a sore spot for Axel that swimming was challenging for him at thirteen, and the young woman should be able to tell. He didn't try to hide it, after all.[break]

Cassandra really wished that she could say that she was no better when she was thirteen, but that would just be a lie – and an obvious one at that, even to a kid his age. So, her eyebrow twitching slightly, she just smiled. “Aw, come on, champ. Don’t be like that!” she said. “Everyone starts out a beginner.”

That also wasn’t exactly true – at least not for someone like her, who had been practically raised with the waves. But again, she was not flexing that fact on this sickly kid.

“Come on. Just give it a chance.” Her smile turned more sincere.

He wasn't usually one to brood, but nearly drowning had really affected him. It made him somewhat cynical about swimming in general. Not that he was opposed to learning, but he was a bit disappointed about being a late bloomer when it came to swimming. Although he supposed it could be worse; he could have waited until he was an adult, which would have been even more embarrassing.
[break][break]
When she mentioned that everyone starts out as a beginner, he couldn't help but be skeptical. However, he didn't show it. Instead, he maintained a neutral expression, making it difficult to determine exactly how he was feeling, despite his complaints.
[break][break]
Finally, he was persuaded to enter the water and he turned to her for guidance on what to do next. Perhaps she would give him tips on improving his stamina, although he had doubts about that actually working, given his limited level of fitness.[break]
