Lake Party Water Post Day Two

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Sunshine Dust, the golden squid, frolics closer to shore today. There were so many people to play with in the lake yesterday! And squids need love and attention too!

There's a soft breeze coaxing the water into gentle waves, playing around the Black Pearl's sails.

If you didn't get a chance to swim yesterday, there is only today.

Tomorrow, it will be February again.

"I'm going for 'never'."

She shakes her head.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

He moves to stand next to her.

"Then why even play at trying at all?"

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Because it's here and everyone else seems to think it's fun."

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

He moves further into the water and turns back around to look at her with a smile. He refrains from splashing her. She might not like being splashed.

"But is it fun to you?"

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Mmmmmmm."

She flops over backwards, staring at the sky.

"Not reeeeeeeally."

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

He bends and catches some water in his hand. Said water is then sprinkled lightly over her as he moves to sit next to her.

"I would have pegged you for one of the people that's stretched out enjoying the sun." He gives a grin. "So, how's the water treating you?"

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

She makes an incoherant sort of noise and bats at his hand, staring in some dismay at the water on her stomach.

"Well...I've not melted."

Yet.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

He raises a brow over the sunglasses at her. The rest of the water on his hand is tossed to the sand on his other side, far from her.

"Why would you melt?" He looks out at the lake. "If anything I would think you'd turn the water to steam instead of melt."

Can fire actually melt?

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"I'd...I dunno, go out or something."

But the idea of melting is totally cooler.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

He raises the glasses to rest on the top of his head.

"Would you really?" There's a flicker of disappointment in his voice. Because that'd just be a shame.

You're right. It is totally cooler.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"I might."

You never know!

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

There's a flicker of something in his eyes.

"You haven't tried it?"

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Once or twice."

Doesn't mean she'll try again.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

"And what happened during those tries?"

Look, a curious vampire.

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Well...nothing."

BUT THAT DON'T MEAN NUTHIN'

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

He gives a small smirk.

"So...you're worried about nothing?"

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Shut up."

Asshole.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

"But...It's the truth!"

He's grinning.

"Care to try wading further? See if I'm right?"

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

"Nope, thanks. Am staying right here."

Just in case.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

"No fun." He pouts at her.

And then he's leaning forward, hand trailing in the water. Or more like trying to see just how much water his hand can hold.
