•~- Kinapak -~•
Kinapak scowled at Sin, her eyes narrowing at his behaviour. She wasn't one to joke or kid; that was probably the biggest reason - or perhaps the only reason - they didn't get along. When he waddled to the young penguin, she turned and allowed her eyes to follow him, watching how he behaved. She was wary of him - he wasn't exactly the best role model a penguin could ask for - but Kinapak had to admit, he did have a way with hatchlings. "M-Marie..." The young chick said softly, looking to her feet as she scuffed them against the ground. When Sin spoke again, the chick looked up, eyes wide, as if he'd just asked her to swim around the world and back. Seeing her shock, Kinapak stepped in, bringing an air of calmness to the chick. With a motherly instinct, she nuzzled into the young penguin's side, offering a reassuring smile. "There's nothing to fear in the water; at least, not here. You're safe with these waters, and this penguin knows them like the back of his flipper." The young one gulped, and the femme smiled, giving her a gentle nudge forward. "It's in our blood, Marie. Just try. Once." The chick looked hesitantly to Sin and suddenly squealed, hopping into the water. Kinapak was on edge as the small bundle awkwardly thrashed and flapped its wings, but soon she settled, bobbing on the surface of the water. "Am I...am I swimming yet...?" The Chick-Sitter laughed softly - a light, chime-like noise - and nodded, a smile spreading rapidly. "You've got it. Now, just a little kick, a little flap of your wings..." Obediently, Marie tried, succeeding in pushing herself onward. Kinapak smiled and gave a small toss of her head, motioning for Sin to take over.
(( OOC: Dood. Baby penguin character = <3 MARIE'S SO DAMN CUTE.
Teacup, you can RP Marie until Sin's done "teaching" her. x3 ))
