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.]

I wish you joy of it.

[Okay, she is pouting a little, but good-naturedly so.]

[epigrammatical]

[He's actually grinning.]

Shall we call it even, my dear?

[trifurcate]

[She is giving you a look, Henry! Slightly disgruntled but showing signs of good humor.]

Very well, even then.

[epigrammatical]

Splendid. [He's just beaming right back at her.] Do you know, I had thought myself quite incapable of having a new experience or a new emotion, but all at once I have been proved entirely wrong, and I have you to thank for that.

[trifurcate]

[And oh, that makes her finally break and laugh.]

Oh, well then I'm so pleased to have given you the opportunity. Perhaps I ought to take it upon myself to give you new experiences and emotions more often.

[epigrammatical]

I wish you would, though I confess you will have your work cut out for you.

[trifurcate]

Then it's good that I don't mind a challenge.

[But choosing not to try him again so soon, she slips under the water to swim away some, intending regroup and go from there.]

[epigrammatical]

[He watches her go, smiling, and leans back in the water to drift, watching the sky with pleasure.

Eventually, of course, he'll have to get back out of the water, but he'll deal with that when it happens.]
