"I am not that out of shape," Arddra protests but she was a bit winded from the run. scrubbing pots and cleaning fish weren't as physically demanding as cleaning a dragon as big as a bronze and if she Impressed a gold, they get even bigger. "But I could get in better shape, that's certain."
"Morith wouldn't be so ungentlemanly as to spray me with water, so you really were the only target he could use, V'riy," Arddra pointed out with a grin as she obliged Morith by scratching the bronze's eye ridge. Almost immediately she lost herself in the task, feeling the heat of Morith's body, the spicy musky scent of his hide filling her nostrils. It was a rather comforting scent and she felt herself completely relax.
For a moment all she was aware of was the dragon before her till V'riy spoke and drew enough of her attention so she could register what he was saying. It didn't distract her from scratching Morith. When he asked his question Arddra paused in her scratching then looked over at V'riy.
"Not very good...I can tread water that's about it. I should be alright if you and Morith are near and I can hang on to one of you time to time." Arddra didn't mind swimming but she never was taught how to swim. The only reason she knew how to tread water was more via trial and error and instinct. At least she didn't fear water but she would never swim in the deeper water alone. "I never had anywhere to swim when I was a kid. I hope that won't complicate things too much."
