Scenario 2 [Action/Video]

[alchemistsquery.livejournal.com]

[The vine catches Alfimi approaching the lake. Next on her "do something I've never done before" agenda is "swimming." She takes a moment, just staring at the water from the shore. She walks a little closer and stares some more. Eventually she moves her leg and puts a toe in the water. She pulls back almost instantly, looking surprised. After several attempts, she's finally comfortable enough and sits down on the edge of the lake and puts both legs in the water.]

This feels... strange.

[The smile broadens.] Mm! I would l-like that very much.

[alchemistsquery.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You are my third friend! I am glad.

[deathtrapping.livejournal.com]

L-likewise. [She smiles again, but then her expression turns more serious.] Be, be careful in the water. I-if you d-don't know how to swim, it could be d-dangerous. [She remembers hearing people just come back to life in this place, but drowning would still be horrible.]

[Alfimi is all smiles.]

Alright. Maybe I should just... admire the water from here.

[deathtrapping.livejournal.com]

Mm. M-maybe. Per, perhaps you should f-find someone to t-teach you?

[alchemistsquery.livejournal.com]

That's a good idea. Do you know how? Or know anyone who does?

[deathtrapping.livejournal.com]

I-I'm not a very good swimmer... S, sorry. I don't really know m-many people here, either. [She's genuinely apologetic. What she said wasn't a lie, either. She just neglected to mention the part where she can't go out in the sun.]

[alchemistsquery.livejournal.com]

Oh. That's okay. I'll just enjoy it like this for right now. [She kicks her legs in the water.] I'm sure I'll find someone who can help eventually.

[deathtrapping.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'm sure you will. G-good luck...!

Thank you! [She waves happily.]
