[align=center][div style="width: 470px; font-size:9pt; font-family:calibri; text-align: justify;line-height: 110%; color:black"]For a good portion of her life there had been little in way of large bodies of water, the few exceptions simple pools of no real depth found within the various settlements scatted about the landscape, enough to keep one cool on hotter days for it was unfit for drinking. It was this that had left her with but a basic understanding of how to swim, a simple paddle all she knew though she preferred to simply float for many had not been deep enough for her to leave the bottom. All the same she had found it enjoyable, allowing the water to hold her weight as she simply floated, enjoying the cool touch of the water compared to the heated air of the arid desert.
But that seemed a life time ago now, before she had come to trek through the mountains and found this place nestled within the ocean, a small jewel cast adrift. For a time Ishayu had made attempts to further teach herself, to learn more where it came to swimming in hopes she might one day dive beneath the waves, but it had proved a difficult and tedious task. Used to having all four limbs when she had gone swimming previous times to have a stump now without the large paw to help move her through the water, it seemed futile but she sought to learn and seemed set in doing so.
And it came to be the offer reached the mountain lion, slowly walking the boards which connected the various homes and shops. Ears swivelling forward a light smile laced her pale lips as she recognised the voice, one of the few she had met properly and had come to like. It was strange for all the tales of creatures which might seek to kill her, set apart for the fact they appeared different, yet Monroe had proven welcoming to her contradicting the things she had been told.
“It would be a pleasure to join you, Monroe,” Ishayu spoke with a gentle rumble of pleasure, smiling towards the hybrid. He was an odd one but she had come to rather like him, enjoying his little quirks and finding him a rather curious being, one she would like to learn more of but there would be time enough for such, now she simply sought to enjoy herself for a time.
