[ Nina wouldn't ever be at the beach normally! Well, that's not quite true. If she could find a beach with no people (and no Elevens by extension) she would totally swim there on occasion, or at least dip her feet in the water.
But this? This is different. It all started with Euphie walking by, and of course Nina had to follow her at a respectable distance, and then she got a bathing suit and Euphie would be wearing a bathing suit and by the time Nina's mind returned from the chaotic path it had found itself in she found herself wearing a hospital-issue bathing suit. Just like Euphie's!
And, well, there was no point in not going to the beach by that point. So A Very Conscious Nina (there were guys here! and Elevens! And Elevens would be looking at Euphie-) found herself awkwardly standing around in a Very Public Beach, trying to spot Euphie.
And Spot Her She Did! ]
Ah, um- Euphie!
[ From a polite distance, very properly covering herself in her towel, Nina waved at what of Euphie she could see-
-oh lord she's not even covered. And she is wearing a ponytail.
Well, at least she can blame the red on the sun. ]
