[ Eilonwy has her arms crossed. Her skin is quite red with sun, redder than her redgold hair. Thanks, mission. ]

Well, this is a curious device, isn't it! It's rather like an enchanted pool of water, or how I imagine it would be, without the water. So not very like a pool of water at all.

[ She waves. ]

I've been terribly rude, not introducing myself until now! I am called Eilonwy.

What I wonder though, is why we were all sent to spend afternoons collecting rocks. Surely if they wanted to clean up the beach, that was a silly way to go about it. It's bound to be dirty again, by now. Why, it's like making your bed right before you go to sleep in it.

If this world is in danger, and all of ours along with it, I would fight, not— not gather pebbles by the seashore turning half my skin red as a tomato. [ She really soured on the idea after she burned half her skin off. ] It doesn't seem like a clever way to go about this at all!

Hey, nobody else was gonna do any resource gathering. Besides, I think everyone needed some down time after the last couple of months, don't you?

[colur]

[ She softens a bit when she sees Jaime. ]

It's not a proper vacation if don't get to choose it! And if you must spend the whole time picking rocks.

Though… I suppose we might have done some good.

[khajidont]

Hey, nobody said anything about having to spend the whole time picking rocks. [He shoots her something of a cheeky grin at that.] I think there's a reason they gave us all swimsuits.

[colur]

[ If she understood what swimsuits were, she'd probably really like them! But alas, her vocabulary. ]

If I wanted someone to tell me how to dress, I'd have stayed at court.

Not that I had a choice in this, mind you. It's the principle of it all!

[khajidont]

[That earns her a quiet snort of laughter.]

I don't think they really cared what we were wearing while we collected rocks. It was just in case we wanted to go swimming.

[colur]

Why, you don't need special costumes for that. Nor permission!

[khajidont]

Maybe not permission, but where I'm from, that's what we wear to go swimming. Did you just go into the water in your dress?

[colur]

I'd wear breeches, I suppose. If I had any.

[khajidont]

Try out the swimsuits next time - if there is a next time. They're made out of special material that doesn't get heavy in the water, and it dries off quickly so you don't drip everywhere. That's what it's for, really.

[colur]

Hmmph. [ She says, even though she's interested. ]

How is such a thing spun?

[khajidont]

I'm... not sure, actually. It's not spun, that much I do know.

[colur]

Ah, well, then I do not need to know of it!
