I think I am here. Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 16 hours ago, Blessing of Potency said: Ashlyn looks down at her boots, “they’ll be fine.” She feels the water tension start to loosen, pushing them closer together. She’s feels her face redden a bit but the determined and stubborn look in her eyes stayed. “Well, then,” Rob said, not really understanding the red face. Maybe it was hot here. “It seems w —” the stormlight cut out abruptly and the water they stood on suddenly have way beneath their weight as they were submerged in the deep end of the pool. Rob’s clothes began to get soaked and drag him down towards the abyssal dark bottom of the pool, but with one hand, he grabbed on the side of the pool and surfaced, breathing in a lungful of good air. At this time, he felt a sudden urge to laugh, at the experience he’d just had, but his will kept him from letting loose that much, his face still the same expression it always had been. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Blessing Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) Ashlyn breaks the surface and swims over to the wall next to Rob. Treading water for a moment she pushes her hair out of her face. Looking over at Rob again she begins to laugh, it starts small but soon she’s laughing so hard she almost looses her grip on the wall. @I think I am here.

I think I am here. Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 That was fun, Rob thought and looked to Ashlyn. As she laughed Rob felt like doing the same, and he pulled himself up to the wet edge of the pool, looking down on her. His face softened and he restrained himself before it could advance to anything more. His father’s presence clouded him, like a ghoul creeping over his shoulder, whispering the same thing it had always whispered. Men don’t show emotions. Save that for the women. But, Rob had said, only a child. Sometimes the people on the TV laugh. What about them? Not real men. Robert, you’re too young to understand. The world has gone crazy. And it needs real men, from days of old. Stoic, silent, expressionless. None of these pansies that are so common now. Rob had just nodded, and like a sponge, absorbed his father’s teachings. He blinked, returning to the present and he looked back on Ashlyn, swirling his feet around in the water. “That was... fun.” He said. Then nodded. “Quite fun.” 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyndlerunner Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 (edited) James pushed the cart around, looking for swimming candles. Lights, this is awkward James thought, I've gone and made Shana think about something she obviously doesn't want to think about. "So Where do you think these 'swimming candles' would be Shana?" He asked, trying once more to take her mind off of her troubles. Light knows she's got enough to worry about as it is. James thought, ruefully. @Sorana Edited September 30, 2019 by Wyndlerunner 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shana forced herself to smile again, push all dark thoughts away. James was obviously uncomfortable with the situation. She shouldn't have let her emotions show that much. It was wrong to push it on him. "Most likely with the decorations. We need some confetti anyway." Slowly she started to walk towards a shelf that was labeled as "decorations". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shana picked up the swimming candles and the confetti. She chose yellow, green and white ones, to stay within their colours. "Flowers next?

It was a spare towel, grey and spotted in design, and Rob grabbed it along with his own towel, which was plain white. Until Ashlyn’s mention of ‘freeze’ Rob hadn’t realised how cold he was either. Luckily, it didn’t seem it was too windy. “Here you are,” he said, giving her the towel and sitting back on the edge of the pool, draping his towel over his shoulders. “No guarantee you still won’t be cold though,” he joked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They waited for a while, but then she paid. "Sounds good." She replied after a while, her thoughts already at the house. "Let's just pick some yellow flowers and some evergreens. Maybe be can get some grasses as well, or some white ones. Roses maybe." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowLord_Lith Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) Quote Lillies are beautiful, you know. I used to pick some white ones from the forest behind our house and give them to my mom. I loved how they seemed to fade into the stem instead of suddenly appearing from it... Yellow roses are also a thing. Funnily enough. I feel like I'm cheating the system. Regardless, I'm excited to see what flowers you guys choose, since I've only ever seen you guys make good choices so far. ... in relation to this, I mean... I know you aren't perfect. Mentally at least... Edited October 2, 2019 by ShadowLord_Lith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though now I'm debating on whether I should go home and get some dry clothes first." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What do you think of these sunflowers?" They weren't too large, like her palm, a beautiful yellow with bright green stems. "And these white roses?" She took one and held it next to the sunflower for him to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m not going to tell you. Not right now, at least. I can’t. She smiled weakly. “Who knows?” Throwing in a glance at the tortillas she was making, then one at Evelyn, she added, “I think they’re done.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
