How did she ever manage with her skin so dry before?

It does feel nice! She carefully lays back, sumberging herself.

Lupe watches, extending senses a bit into the spiritual

SO much better. The cool water feels against her skin like a dewy cold can of Dr. Pepper held against her forehead for a moment after a game of B-ball, or that first sip down a thirsty throat. She can exhale if she wishes, and make little bubbles, but there is no urgent pull to inhale again. Rather, her skin seems to be drawing oxygen from the water itself. Too long in one spot though, and her lungs feel a little tight. The water of the pond is still, she should kick her webs - that is, her feet, yes, and move the currents for fresh oxygenated water.

Lupe sees... it's interesting! A ghostly after-image, of a sort, superimposed over Dagmar's spirit form. A bit of frog essence going for a ride-along.

"You migh want to get up now"

Dag kicks and swims about a bit. This is cool!

She can exert for a couple minutes before she feels a little lightheaded... Dagmar never knew that the bottom of the pond was so interesting. Large smooth stones with a layer of algae - brought up to the surface it's just slime, but under the water, it dances like a short coating of grass.

"Just want to make sure it can transition back is all"

Up, up. Her lungs tell her.

Not urgent, but... she feels that the more she moves around, the more air is needed.

She swims up, her head popping out.

"This is awesome!"

"Glad it works, tell Frog thank you" A nod

A soft chorus of peeping frogs - and then it goes silent as a large fish surfaces, and swims lazily past. Peepin' is good and all, but fish can be dangerous!

"Can Frog hear me?"

"Thank you, Frog!"

The fetish statuette in her pocket feels warm for a moment, before fading back to just a dull little figurine.

"I feel like I should leave something for the peepers..."

"Mm that's up to you. It's typical among garou to leave things for totems that work with them. Like Owl might like you to leave a mouse now and then."

"Maybe I could... dunno... banana peels draw flies?"

She can see that the little peepers - when they came back, are jostling a little for favored spots. Bits where the stone around the edges of the pond has water lapping up onto it for a cool comfortable seat, but too shallow for those nasty carp.

"You could. You don't have to, you're not ..." She stops "Ah who am I to tell you no. Knock yourself out" A smile

"Ok, lil dudes. I'll bring bug bait tomorrow."

A glance at Lupe "They're so tiny for being so loud."

"Yup. Little bodies, big mouths, but all Gaia's creatures got lessons to teach"

"Oh, like you!"

Lupe kicks some water at Dagmar, spraying it up with the inside of her foot!

Redundant, as she's already drenched, but it's the principle of the thing. Lupe grins

Grin!

"Come on you," She laughs and offers her friend a hand "Just remember to ask your boss if I can borrow you for a danngerous quest. It's not for a week"

"Cool."

"You should come for burgerfest on Monday."

"Yeah? " A grin "I will"

"I can take down a lot of burgers"

"Don't I know it."

"Guess you could say I really Wolf them down " elbow wink

and off they go
