Down to the Waterline

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

Down to the Waterline

Postby Kay Haddock » Wed Aug 29, 2012 3:21 pm

Kay is heading down towards the inlet with Dana a bit north of the Point where the coast is a little more shallow.

"Okay maybe not the most white-sand beach..."

"That's good," Dana says, "I don't like sand very much."

"Exactly," Dana says, "Water is fine. I like to sink underwater and pretend I'm floating through space sometimes."

"Last one in is a dork!" she laughs and takes off her shirt, having already put on her bathing suit in the dorm.

"I don't think that is the proper way to define a 'dork'."

Dana wades in just wearing her normal clothes. She even keeps her sunglasses on.

"Well no it's just... Are you just gonna go in like that?" she asks, hopping after Dana on one leg while pulling off her pants.

"Yes. I don't have a swimsuit and nudity makes me uncomfortable," Dana says, "It's a bit cold."

"I guess that makes sense." she's forced to admit and runs past Dana into the deeper water, not seeming to care about the cold water.

"It's a little shall--" is as far as she gets before stepping into a fairway and involuntarily disappearing into the water.

Kay seems to have caught herself after the initial surprise and waves at Dana to show she's okay before whipping herself to the surface again with her legs.

Dana surfaces again, shaking water out of her hair.

"You should be more careful. It could be dangerous here."

"Around the Institute, I think drowning would be the least of our concerns," Dana says, laying on her back so she can float.

Dana closed her eyes and just floated, enjoying the feel of the water and the sun as Kay dived down into the water. It was very relaxing.

After a while Kay comes back, silently gliding through the water. Coming up on Dana she makes a bit more noise on purpose, having learned her lesson in surprising people in the water.

"Man, if you go out a bit there's this whole... forest down there!" she reports excitedly.
