Katara hated to think she was a natural, but she couldn't escape the glaringly obvious: she had always felt at home underwater, and being there made her feel as if she were one step closer to being back in her world.

She giggled, slowing her pace, then quickening when Billy started to come close.

Billy grumbled---that tease! Of course she'd show off, and the only way to possibly catch her would be to try a corner trick or create a distraction. Of course, he wouldn't try anything until he got desperate and tired.

For now, it would be a fairly fruitless chase past the oddities on the waters' floor while he slowly learned the finer points of control on this thing. It didn't help that he wasn't a particularly strong swimmer as a human either.

You swim circles around me and you know it, he pouted.

I'm trying to be fair! Katara protested, giving him an impish little smile and darting toward him, circling around him in a deliberately flirtatious fashion for a fish.

Well, let's explore this together! She said, taking his hand and starting to descend deeper down.

I'll never be on even footing---er...finning.

Billy circled round to watch her, his tail twisting in circles in an attempt to keep up. He'd never be that graceful, not without some serious training. But she was beautiful...briefly he wondered what would happen if the guys who appreciated her that way were here to see this.

But they were here to explore as friends, hand in hand. That was fine with him. I can live with that. We'll definitely see the more spectacular creatures in deeper water.

It's not about that Billy! I've always just felt at home underwater! If we were, say, land slugs or something, I'm sure that you'd be slithering rings around me. Just enjoy the wish!

Which she could say, of course, now that she was covered up and not exposed for Billy to see. She had no idea what he was thinking of course: for whatever reason, while she could be coy, Katara was otherwise unobservant to her own looks.

The more they went down, the more they saw: coral reefs, schools of fish and small anemones that Katara would not have noticed before. She laughed when a fish got pretty close to her nose and tickled it slightly.

Billy swam alongside her, glad to finally be swimming passably in the water. He covertly studied her movements, trying to mimic the proper way to do things.

I don't see much appeal in being a slug, he wrinkled his nose, swimming down to the more plentiful areas with her. There were sights far more attractive than slugs there.

If only I had an underwater camera, he whispered, an awed look on his face. The sights were definitely beautiful. He flitted from studying anemones to coral to...wait, there was a fish tickling Katara's nose? He couldn't help but laugh, smiling at one of the schools passing by.

You're such a natural that even the aquatic life loves you, he winked, yelping when another few fish brushed against his tail. Uh...pardon me, he called to them.

She waited patiently, watching Billy start to get the hang of the swimming. She showed him again, taking careful time to show him how she stroked so he could repeat what she'd done.

She giggled, which just looked strange in the water, and started to swim down. Some things don't need to be photographed she said to him, and laughed as the fish zoomed away. That was so bizarre!

She descended lower, and swam alongside him, following a nearby blue fish.
