Where: Lakeside in the woods
When: Tuesday, Later Afternoon
After being inside all day yesterday, there was no way that Lyn was going to subject herself to that again. Though she had an interesting conversation with a vampire, and got a lot of reading and studying done, today was her day. Everything had closed down in town fairly early, which left her with some free time and thus she had to find something else to do closer to the school. So, despite the fog cover, she decided to tip toe her way through the wooded areas close by.
Granted, it was as thick as she was warned, but Lyn had the advantage of woodland training. And the fact taht she'd come to know this particular area rather well. She could easily pick her way through the trees and brushes. Their pattern was as familiar to her as her own skin. Step here, move there, and this tree...ancient and strong. And this other, gathering it's life from underground water sources. She was getting closer.
Finding the lake wasn't hard, and it was as undisturbed as she had hoped to find it. In fact, the forest itself was eerily quiet. As if the fog had managed to surpress sound as well as some sight. She shed her top easily, revealing the bikini she had snuck on beneath her clothes. It was only moments before she was ready to slide into the water. It was still fairly hot, at least as far as this northwesterner turned Canadian was concerned. And the water was cool to the skin and welcomed.
Lyn took full advantage as she ducked her head beneath the disturbed surface, letting herself sink for a moment before rising up again and breaking through to take a fresh breath of air. She pushed her hair back and swam a little ways into it. It was days like this one, she truly enjoyed being at the school. Even the earth mage could appreciate the liquid refreshment, especially surrounded by such old beauty.
