[Finishing off a piece of candy, Chiyo smiles happily as she turns on the camera of her laptop.]

Hi everyone! I'm finally out of the hospital and feeling much, much better. I really want to thank everyone who came to visit me. It made my stay there much more pleasant and helped my recovery go along smoothly. For everyone's kindness, I hope that I can do something special in return for all of you. Please, if there's anything that I can do for you, feel free to let me know!

[Clearly, she's not as shy as she usually is and is, instead, giddy. It's almost as if the whole ordeal she went through has made her into a more assertive person. She can't help but feel refreshed and overjoyed to finally be out of the hospital and back at Kraken Lake. Pausing a bit, she hums to herself softly as she looks around away from the camera for a moment before returning her attention to it.]

Has everyone been well? I hope no one else has been hurt while I was away and that nothing terrible has happened. I'm still a bit sore on my ribs, but I can't wait to go swimming again. Would anyone like to join me? I'm out by the lake, but we can always go to the swimming pool, too. I still haven't had the pleasure of swimming in it yet.

Well, just let me know! Thanks for watching!

I'll join you for a few laps about the lake, if you'd like. I've not been since last time we went swimming there.

Anything I can bring you? I know you said you're feeling better, but if you've need of another potion, I've a few spare.

Okay! That's great~ And thank you for your offer. I'm feeling wonderful, so I'll be all right. Don't worry, Jon.

But, hey. I have a different request for you. Have you ever swam as a human before? I'd really like to try one day. Would you mind helping me in case I need it? I know that human legs are different than canine legs, so... I'm sure that it might take a little getting used to, and I wouldn't want any accidents. But... if you're busy, I can try to find someone else to accompany me. Please let me know what you decide. Thanks again!

I've actually done more swimming as a man than as a wolf - I'd be happy to offer some pointers and show you how it's done. It IS a very different way of moving so you'd definitely want to have someone around while you're practising in case things start to go poorly.

Yay! I look forward to learning from you, then. Where would be the best place to practice?

For something like this, the pool would be safest. Should you run into troubles or get tired, it's a much smaller matter to retrieve you from the pool than the center of a lake. And the water is only relatively shallow too, so, yiur feet can find purchase to stand in most places. As a Human, the chlorine smell shouldn't be quite so rank, either.

That's true. It wouldn't be too good if I suddenly sunk to the bottom of the lake.

Mmm, do you think we could go now? Oh but, I would need to have something called a swimming suit, right?

Aye, yes - a bathing suit is required when swimming as a Human. For you, you'll need something to cover... ah... both the top and the bottom. If you've nothing like that then a dark colored T'shirt and some shorts ought to suffice.

Oh, I've got those! All right, so when I'm feeling all better, we can go? [She's clearly very eager.] I'll be ready anytime!

Whenever you're feeling up to it let me know and I'll make time to come and do this with you. At your earliest convenience.
