A'tay sighed. He knew it. He knew Zelly would jump on the theme of teaching him to swim, though the part about getting him to not fear the water wasn't usually tossed his way. People probably assumed they went hand in hand or didn't think the fear was that big of a deal. Some of the fear came from not seeing what was around him though this part of the beach was clear and he could always see the bottom in the shallows he played in.
More out of habit than anything else, A'tay removed his shirt--it's what one did at the beach, especially when washing a dragon was usually involved. He set it carefully over a branch then checked his pockets to ensure everything was still safely tucked away. Boots and socks came next and then he pondered if he should just roll the legs of his pants up or strip down to--that's when he turned around and recalled he wasn't with a fellow brat he grew up with and being nude around wasn't awkward. He didn't know how to handle Zelly just yet and the fact that he wasn't about to go past his knees anyway had A'tay bending over to roll the legs up to his knees and then transfer anything in those pockets to his shirt.
"No lessons but I'll join you a little. Then we can wander further down and meet Xyxyth. He's sunning on a ledge right now but said he'd join us later."
