Winter Pool Time

Gah... This wasn't what she signed up for. Evelyn clung closer to the ledge, bracing herself against the sprays of water. This is what I get for being an idiot. Was it worth it, leaping into the water, when she could've slipped away unnoticed?

Anima started to take notice after Evelyn still continued not to do anything but brace herself against all the water that was coming her way. Anima stopped swimming around her, and instead swam up to her, now not going out of her way to splash Eve with as much water as she could in the process. Anima looked at Evelyn with her head tilted to the side slightly, a frown on her face. Sure, if this was a trap she was really letting her guard down, but this didn't seem like a trap. Instead, it looked like Evelyn wasn't really enjoying things as much as Anima was. Oops.

The splashing stopped, but she still hadn't gone away. Evelyn gave her a wary sidelong glance from the ledge before returning her gaze to the water. What did she want? For her to attack back? This was a big pool, and she didn't even know her... Couldn't she go on the other side?

Without trying to fumble for an excuse, Evelyn pushed off and paddled past her, toward the deeper center of the pool, the water lapping up at her lips. She needed to get her sunglasses back anyways, even if she wasn't sure who they actually belonged to or where she'd gotten them.

Anima watched Evelyn swim past her, the frown on her face growing. She decided to swim back over to the side of the pool, picking up her notebook and holding it carefully before starting to write. Sorry, Evelyn. I didn't intend to be mean... I just thought that you'd take it more as playful than mean... Sorry. Anima kept on eye on Evelyn after she had finished writing the message, waiting to show it to Evelyn once she was looking in Anima's direction again. She wanted to apologize for being mean, even if that wasn't what she intended. Shit, this was going really well, wasn't it?
