"A little," she admits, her tail turning circles in the water; sometimes if she dives deep enough she can pretend that she never has to come up. She supposes it's habit that keeps her leading the life she does-- deep enough in the water and she wouldn't really have to. If she just left everything behind and gave herself to the river, it's not out of the question.

It's not what she wants, though; she grew up in a world that said and instead of or.

"I was swimming." Purposefully. Sort of.
