The concrete all around the pool was wet... well... wetter than normal. That's what happens though when you displace an Indian elephant worth of water in one quick go. The elephant was now sitting towards the deep end, eyes and the tip of her trunk above water.

Kay walks in wearing her swimsuit with a towel under her arm. Looks like no one's here but the elephant. She turns to put her towel down on one of the benches near the wall. Wait what? Hah, for a second there I thought I'd seen an elephant. she turns back around, chuckling to herself and suddenly stops, staring at Mahua with her mouth hanging open. "I... there... what?"

Mahua stood up, a less than graceful maneuver. She shook her head, spraying water everywhere as her ears flapped. Her form shrank down until she was left treading water. "Sorry to startle you."

"That the elephant in the pool wasn't just a hallucination?"

"Yeah, I guess." she smiles sheepishly.

"I'm Professor Clarke... or Mahua if that's easier," she said. "What's your name?"

"I'm Kay." she says, walking over to sit on the edge of the pool with her feet in the water.

"You don't look old enough to attend the university," she said as she hauled herself out to sit next to Kay and squeeze some water out of her braid.

She leaned back and grabbed a pair of glasses off a nearby table, slipping them on. "How is the United Kingdom treating you?"

"It's okay, I guess. Some things are kinda weird but there's lots of Americans at the school so it's not really that different. Well, aside from living in a mansion. That part is pretty sweet."

"The living quarters are quite nice. I take it you aren't used to seeing elephants around here."

"Oh, don't be sorry. It was more idle curiosity on my part. One of my many faults."

"Indian. Elephas maximus indicus to be entirely too specific. What all do you do?"

"I... well I can breathe water and swim pretty fast..." she says, swishing her feet back and forth a bit in the water.

Mahua gripped the side of the pool harder. "That's terrible! Did they catch the person responsible?"

"Oh. Uhm, well, I'm from Flint, Michigan... my parents kinda hate me... I love to draw and swimming and I'm g--glad that I can go to school here." Jesus, Kay, don't just blurt that out to anybody who's nice to you.
