It was nice to bond with someone. Elena hadn't seen her siblings since she was somewhere around twelve, but wondered if this was what it would be like if she'd been able to grow up with her sisters. Would she be sharing this moment with one of them like she was with Syreni now? The pair looked strikingly similar so they could almost be family, but it wasn't true. A feeling of sadness came over her and Elena was forced to remember that this wasn't one of her sisters. It was a stranger that she had only just met.
After a few more silent moments, Elena motioned toward the surface. She was ready to head back to her room for the night and try to get some rest. While not straining, the entire ordeal would tire her eventually and she didn't want to drown the poor girl. She sat up and kicked off the bottom of the pool, rising quickly due to the power of her legs. She broke the surface and took in a breath of the chilly air above the pool. She may not need to breathe while beneath the water, but she was quite accustomed to doing it anyway.
