Teach me how to swim! (Pika, later Ixen)

Adrian was at the Steelcity beach. It wasn't too crowded, but at the same time it was a nice day. It was around 4:00 so the sun will set in a hour or two, a perfect time to not embarrass herself. Adrian would sit on the sand with a plain black bikini, and her newest edition, the obsidian key around her neck. She could probably swim, or just catch on quickly, she was just afraid of it. Adrian couldn't use her powers in water, she felt weak, not only she couldn't swim. Last time she went swimming Alex was having a breeze while Adrian was on the verge of collapsing of over embarrassment.

She waited for him while running her hand through the sand "Where is he." Adrian muttered, stalling for him.

Alex got out of his taxi, he was wearing shorts and a swim shirt partly so he could change into dry clothes and partly so Adrian wouldn`t see him shirtless, it is very underwhelming. He spotted Adrian and ran over to her, smiling Hi, sorry I`m late

Adrian stood up and smiled. "It's fine." Adrian assured as she turned to the ocean. "You ready to teach the un teachable?" Adrian challenged in a friendly way. She walked to the ocean, but it wasn't skipping nor flying. It was a happy sort of glide that looked like dancing, almost. She clenched her teeth together as she entered the knee length warm water.

Alex grabbed her hands and pulled her further into the water until it was up to her chest First things thirst, get used to floating

Adrian shivered, the water may be warm, but it just freaked her out. "This is stupid, but should I lay on my back or what?" Adrian asked, pulling herself closer too him, so much for an assassin.

Alex shrugged You can lay on your back if you want he then waited for some sign that she was ready to continue. He then tried to recall what she had to do next Take a deep breath and put your head underwater, slowly exhale out of your nose until your out of breath, then come back up

Adrian nodded as she lied on her back. It was cool too be able to float on the water. Alex told her to go under and slowly breath out of her nose. "Please, don't let me go out of your site." Adrian asked as she went under, low enough. She began to blow out of her nose, it came easy to her. after about a good 3 minutes she came up. "That wasn't that bad." Adrian commented shyly.

Alex smiled Good, next step he lay on his back Practice kicking your legs, don`t worry about anything else, just work on your technique he demonstrated then watched her attempt.

Adrian did what he instructed her to do. She dog paddles a circle around him , yup, she was officially non intimidating. She stopped and sighed. "I might be a bad butt chick, but man this is pathetic." Adrian commented on herself as she stopped behind him, grabbing his side for support.

Alex smiled Nonsense, you`re doing fine he then took her arm away from his side Okay, Do you know how to do a crawl?

"Like a crawl, on the land?" Adrian asked as she paddled around Alex once again. She knew how to crawl, but something was telling her he meant something different. But hey, maybe he didn't.

Alex chuckled amusedly, like someone would when a child asked a silly question No, like the swimming technique

Adrian frowned. "No I don't. But maybe in stead of teaching me crazy ways to swim you could just teach me the basics?" Adrian asked polity with her British accent, clearly there.

Alex chuckled again The crawl is the most basic way to swim he pointed out. He then demonstrated how to do it, explaining as he did so Floating on your stomach, do a kick with your legs and use your arms to "crawl" forward. Bring one arm out of the water so that it's "reaching" forward, then bring it back down and use your cupped hand to "push" the water behind you. Alternate arms. To breathe, turn your head to one side under the arm that's currently crawling, lifting enough for you to take a breath. Take a breath under the same arm each time, so that you're breathing once every two strokes. (OOC: Copy and Paste much?)

Adrian sighed, he was too good at this. She then began to actually swim. She was doing it! She cupped the water with her hands and pushed forward, stroking along. She smiled as she came back and kicked her feet so she was floating a few feet away from him. "You're a good teacher." Adrian seduced floating closer to him. She put her hands on his shoulders to balance herself. "You know what. I think your Symboite material." Adrian told him, not expecting him to know what it meant.
