[ it's time for lessons at the pool! there's even livio-sized floaties, how generous. haru is already in the water, submerged and darting around like a fish.
he and rin will probably both help out but how much of this will really be lessons ]
[ Watching Livio doggypaddle, Rin is just like "o: he can swim" before he patters over to where Amelia dove in. He doesn't run because you shouldn't run near the pool. ]
haru also just watches, pushed away by the frantic water as livio paddles past. sometimes you have to let the ducklings make an attempt on their own (no). ]
livio is fighting this water and losing. haru dives in with a plop and tries to help drag him back to the surface... even though he's a brick shithouse? he'll do his best. ]
[ just kidding his head is still above water because he's so tall. however, he will helpfully go up on his tiptoes so that haru can think he saved him ]
[She... tries it! And it works! She looks a little unsteady, like she doesn't fully trust that she'll stay afloat... but she's not sinking, and that's a win.
She looks to Haru and flashes him a peace sign! ✌️]

[ send help ]

Livio, can you float without the floaties?
no subject
She hesitates at the edge of the pool... then takes a leap of faith and jumps right in!
... It is not a graceful dive. There's a painful-sounding smack as she pretty much just flops into the water.]
no subject
Ah.
[ ... ]
Are you all right.
no subject
--Amelia!!!
[ frantically dogpaddles to her to scoop her up ]
Amelia, open your eyes!
[ she did a bellyflop livio please calm the f down ]
no subject
Livio, don't panic in the water. It's okay.
Amelia, are you okay?
[ She doesn't like. Sink does she. ]
no subject
I'm okay!! I'm okay. It didn't hurt that much...
[livio please don't drag us both down]

no subject
[ luckily he is covered in floaties so he is floating. and cradling amelia........ ]
Amelia, I think you should take some of this safety equipment.
[ floaties.... ]
no subject
Can you both just answer my question? Can you float without the floaties?
no subject
she shakes her head vigorously.]
No! This is training! If we don't learn how to stay afloat with our own strength, we'll have learned nothing!
no subject
You can try taking some of the floaties off. [ he's right here in case anything goes wrong. ]
no subject
[ starts removing his floaties ]
[ and then starts sinking ]
no subject
Wh- Haru! Get him!
no subject
[She's like. Barely keeping her head above water herself so this probably isn't very encouraging.]

Thank you!

with a sigh, rin gets into the water too and drifts over to livio. ]
We should start with floating on your back and getting yourself back into an upright position. Livio, I'll help you.
Haru, you help Amelia.
[ because like, rin is way stronger than haru. ]
