[okay scorpio, it is time to be really sad.

and also it is time for us to try to pull ourselves back together.]

That's the general idea.

Widen your legs like this, to give yourself a sturdier base.

[pchaaair]

[imitates that! a-and then stabs!?

but the fish gets away. 8|a]

. . . That did not go, as planned.

[byallmeans]

You won't get it the first time. No one does.

Here. Show me your grip.

[pchaaair]

[shows him!

it is probably not all that great and he has obviously never held a spear before.]

[byallmeans]

No. Too close together.

[Reaches over to adjust your hands.]

[pchaaair]

[adjusts his grip until mits is happy! :|b and very intently trying to learn]

[byallmeans]

Okay. Now hold it up like you're going to try and stab a fish.

[pchaaair]

[does so!

iiiit's still a pretty awkward pose]

[byallmeans]

...relax. Just stay still and relax.

[And he is going to just. Rearrange you. :|b]

[pchaaair]

[yes okay, letting him do that!

don't judge too hard, it's easy to get stuff in aather. :(]

[byallmeans]

[JUDGING PRETTY HARD- but not super hard, because he also sucked at first.]

There. Now spread your legs a little more. Make sure your stance is nice and wide.

[pchaaair]

[why is there so much judgement!! but he does so, and he's ... doing kind of okay at it? it's mostly just first time awkwardness when it comes to this.]

[byallmeans]

Not bad.

Now wait for a fish, and try again.

[pchaaair]

[nods-- and waits for a little, but then he stabs!

and there's some success even if he feels really bad about doing it.]

--Whoa.

[byallmeans]

[Uho. Did it stay on the spear, even?]

[pchaaair]

[... No, but it was still something of a success! Even if it wasn't a complete one.]

[byallmeans]

Getting better. Next time, you need to remember that the fish doesn't look like it is where it actually is. The water refracts light differently than air does.

[pchaaair]

Okay-- I will make sure, that I do remember that. This is, a lot harder than I thought it would be, since, I'm used to being able, to use my powers.

[byallmeans]

What can you do with your powers?

[pchaaair]

I can control animals, and talk to them. Or, at least, I could, until I got here.
