i need ryland going swimming in his erid enclosure once they get the water temperature right like :D this is great, it's full-body exercise for my recovery and it helps a lot with the issue of gravity being so intense on me
meanwhile rocky and 8 other eridians (heavy enough to sink instantly to the bottom of any large body of water) are standing on the shore, incredibly distressed, needing to be constantly reassured that this is normal for humans and he won't sink and drown
"are you sure you don't need an air tank and a suit???" "i am so sure. you can literally see me floating right now. i know for a fact sound travels great through water"
they still won't let him swim with the wave machine on but he'll wear em down eventually
