Kisamoa gives him a charming smile and, for all his mismatched teeth, it does slightly mollify the Elephant’s unease. Not entirely, but partly. That is, until he explains the ‘fun’ he intends for Helovians to have. Swimming? Beneath the sea? To the depths?

No.

The Elephant King had tried swimming once. When he was an adolescent on the Great Plains. In his fearless and indestructible youth, he had sought to learn to swim during the rainy season. (Because when else was there water deep enough to buoy up his strapping frame?) The rains had flooded the dry riverbeds, and Kiuaji had (repeatedly) cautioned him against it: Didn’t elephants sink?

They did, in fact. And it had taken five Dorobian warriors to pull his great body out of the turbulent waters. The Elephant had not sought to revisit swimming, since.

So, it was wary eyes that he fixed the Earth God’s cousin. He did not trust Kis. Despite his smiles (or perhaps because of them). But there were others who were grabbing seaweed into their mouths and disappearing beneath the waves, following the mismatched, blue body. And he shook his great head to himself, eyes searching the shore for this that stayed. But there were those that he cared for disappearing beneath the waves.

With a sigh that immobilized him, he shifted to his elephant form. Then he moved towards the seaweed and grabbed a larger piece (to be safe) with his trunk, placing it into his mouth. Shuffling into the waves, he lifted his trunk high above the surface. He followed Kis and his motley crew of Helovians for as far as he could while still being able to breath through his trunk above the water’s surface, not entirely trusting the seaweed in his mouth. And then he halted, eyes open against the sting of salt water as he peered after those disappearing in the deep.

Tembovu shifts into elephant form, grabs some seaweed, and goes as far into the water as he can while still breathing through his trunk above the water ;)
