Under the Sea (Open)

[poeticverses]

Characters: Jehan, Grantaire, Byrn, and everyone who wants to join them!
Date: April 23rd, midmorning to late evening
Location: The edge of the turtle!
Situation: Swimming! A picnic! A party!
Warnings/Rating: I'm going to rate this PG-13 for naked/nearly naked people, alcohol, and smoking. Also R's mouth. And apparently terrible mythological comparisons.

[Jehan has never been this happy, he doesn't think. The ocean. The blue, warm ocean. He gets to see it again, gets to swim in it with his friends, gets to enjoy it. He's so happy.

Of course, he's taking a long moment to shed anything but his coat once the group gets to the edge. It's a beautiful shade of blue and he can't not admire it.]

It can be, if you do it right.

[He licks the juice off of his fingers delicately so they don't get sticky.]

I am, the weather is wonderful, the water warm, and the company nearly everything I could wish for. I am quite content.

[lecentre]

[He watches, smiling faintly.]

I'll work on my questioning technique in that case. I am glad that all is favorable for you as well. I do believe we all deserve it in light of recent events.

[virginprice]

Ah, that is true enough. It is nice to feel like you are warm enough.

[The cells were quite cold and Alcuin sometimes feels like he's back there if he gets a chill.]

You were swimming quite far out, yes?

[lecentre]

[He frowns at the memory, but nods. He reaches out to press his fingers to Alcuin's arm. Bit he leaves that as it is and instead grins.]

I was. You should join me when I go back in.

[virginprice]

[The change of subject is welcome, though the memories can't quite banish the sense of peace. He laughs.]

If you promise faithfully to keep me afloat, I shall. I am afraid I still swim very ill.

[lecentre]

Do you? No worries, cher, I can help with that... And gladly will, at that.

[virginprice]

I never had the chance to learn when I was younger, and I only had a few lessons here before the water began to grow foul. I can paddle a little, but that is all. Your assistance will be very kind.

[lecentre]

I will be more than glad to assist, though I'm not the most skilled myself. I will not fail you.

[He grins up at Alcuin, canting his head to the side.]

May I have another piece of fruit?
