"The tip of the iceberg." 1 here https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61385686/

"Look, it's ...a duck... Cute..." Quietly sighs Emily.
"It's a kid's pool." Whispered Mark, gritting his teeth.
"I know." Quietly answered Emily. "Don't even try to smile, she won't forgive you for this." Added the woman.
"Yeah. I know, I know this. Don't worry." Mark answered, taking a deep breath.
"What? Tell me too, what you're two whispering about." Frowning Delfina, raising an eyebrow questioningly, somehow hearing them from a distance.

"Well, it's an old, stupid story, long before we met you.
Once I was swimming in a pool and put on a lifebuoy with the same color. It turned out to be too small for me, so I got stuck in it, and Emily helped me take it off. ...It takes us a while." Calmly answered Mark.
"Yes?" He asked, looking at Emily.
"Yeah... Kinda of..." Nodded Emily.
"Ah? That's all? Ok then..." Sighed Delfina, and losing interest, as she continued to splash in a shallow pool, or more politely, - continuing of trying to swim, helplessly jerking her feet in the water, unsuccessfully trying to reach the bottom of the pool with her feet.

***
Delfina is a very smart, beautiful, persistent woman with a strong will and developed pride. Very proud! Short woman...
And all these attempts to swim looked as comical as possible.

Mark is not an idiot... Or rather not to such an extent, - that's why he quickly had to come up with this nonsense with a stucking in a lifebuoy, so as not to accidentally anger his second wife, by stepping on her sore point. And Emily helped him in this.

One day, browsing FA, I saw this funny, cute picture https://www.furaffinity.net/view/61440731/
Then I thought that Goober looks so happy, while Delfina will not be too thrilled with this idea. )))
But she swims! Somehow.

Because Mystery is a cat, too! ...Wild cat. )))

Done on traditional Thursday's stream on Piczel TV. This was a good night.
Delfina is swimming in the pool. Well, she's trying somehow.

Due to war and some ...serious other difficulties with my real life, I can slow down a bit and post various interesting things here less often.

Also, please note that my story is in the process of being written, and most of these small fragments that I published are not in chronological order.
(Chronology always was a real pain for me.) So when I finish my plans I will try to put everything in order. If I even can...
I publish my stories in "dynamic mode", according to the available pictures, time, current situations, my mood, or in connection with the previous posting, etc. So I can often ignore the chronology of events.

The story and all characters belong to me  Marksan
The wonderful drawings and most of character designs are kindly made for me by  SethTriggs For which I am very grateful for his help in portraying all this - because without his vision and pictures I would never have been able to tell this story. He really did a lot for me.

We still have "Tales of Chakona Discord for fans" - a cozy place where we usually gather. But after the recent ...flooding infestation, the rules were changed slightly. So ask around for an invite PM.
I am nice with talking to people. I swear. )))
