You can touch the water, you know. Feels pretty nice.

[reportinastorm]

Mm.

[Reaches to dip her fingers into the shallow water]

Ah, it's cold.

[audacity]

Yeah, it's usually pretty cool. Makes it great for swimming, on hot days.

[reportinastorm]

Swimming...

[SHE CAN HARDLY EVEN IMAGINE]

[audacity]

The water's plenty deep enough. But if you've never swum before, [ CLEARLY, ] one of the ponds might be a safer place to start. If you'd want to try.

[reportinastorm]

I'd love to try.

[looking out at the waves again]

...But yes, starting small might be for the best.

[audacity]

[ a laugh, not unkind ]

There's gotta be someone on Thistle who can teach you how to swim. But I can always do for you what I did for Minuet once — since I can control water, I can keep you afloat if I'm nearby.

[reportinastorm]

You helped Minuet too?

[she sits back fully on the sand to look over at him]

...I'm sure he enjoyed that a lot.

[audacity]

[ waves a hand ]

Yeah, there was this ritual. You could do things off a list with other people for points? Anyway, we went by the river and I helped him float for a while. I think he liked it.

[reportinastorm]

...I'm glad.

[audacity]

I'm glad he's got more friends arriving here to help him out.

[reportinastorm]

...I'll do my best, anyway.

[audacity]

That's all anyone can ask for.
