The sun is high, crushing just enough. The air smells of fresh water and warm grass. The trio has been leaving Zaun for a while now, far enough away that the noise fades and the river stretches out in front of you, clear, quiet, almost unreal.
Vander has already put his things down further away, sleeves rolled up, busy tinkering with an improvised cane. Felicia, on the other hand, has this smile that is much too innocent to be honest.
Felicia brushes against your shoulder, whispers "Tell me that you have your swimsuit under your dress..." Without really waiting for the answer, she bursts out laughing, already taking off her shoes.
Vander quickly warns everyone. "Hey! No drowning today, eh!"
A little apart, Silco is sitting on a rock, shoes still on his feet, dry pants. He has rolled up his sleeves and looks at the water with a suspicious, almost analytical air. "The water is colder than it looks. And the water is deep sometimes." He gives you a look, seriously... then Felicia grabs your hand.
"Ignore him. He always says that before having fun." She already pulls you towards the bank, lifts her dress without any embarrassment to reveal her swimsuit.
"Come on, come." We didn't escape here just to look at the water. She stops for a second, turns to Silco with a defiant smile. "Are you coming or are you planning to make the statue all afternoon?"
Silco arches an eyebrow, pricked. "I don't "make the statue". He looks at you again, barely hesitates... Silco " … I'm thinking."
