When: Day 31, Morning
Where: The Lake of Course
Rating: PG-13 for language at worst
Status: Open

One thing came to Violet's mind when she found the note (besides her fear of having to wear a swimsuit in public) was this: "Not now! I am ankle deep in soil samples". She had planned on spending the day gathering samples for her tests since she had been kicking around a hunch about the planet. But while she went looking for a single test tube was her fear only got worse when she found the swimsuit, tasteful since she was only 16 but she was still freaking out. *What if I happen to be the only teen* not knowing Illyana was close to her in age. But when she spotted the golem she only asked for a moment to put away her supplies (like any scientist) before following it to the lake. Since she was first she decided against taking off the floral coverup untill she had to.

But anyone could see the pale teen would rather be back among her books and samples than being told she had to go swimming. She took the test tube from her pocket and scooped enough water to fill the tube for later water tests when she spotted someone in the distance. "Pardon the nerd!" trying to joke to cover her racing nerves,"Water samples for later testing and I would be Violet" the British accent clear in the younger woman.

Ianto raised an eyebrow at Violet. Someone from the same landmass he was from, it sounded like. "Yes, that's right," he confirmed with a smile. "And yourself?" The more the girl spoke, the more she reminded him like a young version of Tosh. Violet looked like she had a sharp mind.

He turned to L. "Surely you've been swimming before. I don't think you'll burn. Try it out and if you start to feel uncomfortable, then come sit on the side," he suggested. Idly, Ianto wondered if L just couldn't swim and that was why he wanted to just sit and watch...

After watching Illyana go into the water, he gave a mock sigh, getting to his feet. "Well, if swim we must..." Ianto headed towards the water, removing his shoes and wading into the lake. It was cool and was very pleasant. Content to just wade for now, Ianto walked slowly along the shore, looking out at the view. He, like L, didn't much want to get wet either.

"London proper" Violet called back, she was happy to hear an accent that was like home since for some reason Ianto reminded her a lot of Klaus. She dove in to get a sample from the lake itself,"Been testing water from all over the resort and just needed some samples from the lake" as she set the test tube with the sample by the coverup.

For being only 16 Violet was smarter than most young women. "The snowball cannon from the recent fight was my inventor, it was great to finally use an idea for something fun plus snow makes killer firepower" she was grinning.

Illyana treaded water, listening to the conversation. "I've been to London, with Dr. MacTaggart," she offered. "Nice place. Met the Israeli ambassador." Back when she'd thought Piotr and Kitty were gone forever. It had been a welcome distraction from the worrying.

She looked over at Violet, who was swimming out farther into the lake. "What are you testing it for?" she asked. When she mentioned the snow cannon, Illyana grinned. "That was you? That was crazy! You got some good hits on me with that thing," she said.

Looking back toward the shore, she smiled at Ianto, who was just starting to head into the water. "It's only cold for a second, I promise," she said, holding her arms out wide. The other boy still hesitated, though. "Hey, come on!" she called. "I promise not to splash you or anything! At least come sit on the shore near the water."

L continued to stare at the swim trunks. He really, really did not want to do this. His fear of germs, of physical contact, of his environment changing too quickly... all of those factors conspired against him to make this situation very uncomfortable. Still, the others were nice, even friendly, and it didn't seem like it would be the end of the world to at least sit by the water's edge.

It seemed like L's Golem-nanny wasn't as thoughtfully patient, however. From behind, it slung the startled detective over one shoulder and cheerfully dumped him, fully clothed, into the lake. Clearly, it thought that it was doing something very good for L, who surfaced, soggy and stunned, with his teeth chattering. No one... no one... treated him like this. He raised his finger, glaring, preparing to admonish the Golem viciously for this undignified and ludicrous treatment... but the Golem merely patted him on the head and placed a rubber duck in the water by L's midriff.

He shook his head, staring as the duck bobbed in the water. Even in a world where everything was starting to look like a mockery, this rated pretty high.

Ianto was happy to hear that Violet was from nearby his home. Before he could say anything else, though, he was distracted by a golem picking up the young man and dumping him into the water.

Ianto pressed a hand to his mouth, trying to contain his laughter as he made his way over. "A towel, please," he asked, holding a hand out. A large beach towel appeared and draped over his arm a moment later. "Are you alright? Here," he said to L, offering the towel.
