Who: Emmeline Vance and Astoria Greengrass What: Emmeline wants another swimming lesson and to talk to Storyyyy about thinggssss Where: Their hut and then perhaps the beach When: Saturday early afternoon (forward dated a bit, so sue me :p) Rating: PG? PG13 for language?
Emmeline had been more than happy that her hutmate had taken the time to give her swimming lessons the week before, but Em was sure they still had a long way to go. Floating had gone okay, but the doggy paddling crap was still kind of stressful, and there was the illogical part of Emmeline that continuously tried to convince her no matter what she did, the water would pull her under and she would die. Really, she was her own worst enemy in that sense, and though she hated that about herself it was just the reality of the situation. And though the weather was a lot cooler, Em thought that perhaps there would be less people about to watch her in her embarrassing shame, and most importantly, it might give her the boost she needed not to get pulled under. But she doubted it.
Plus... Emmeline needed someone to talk to. Sure, she could go to Dory and eventually she would, but to be quite honest the dark haired girl felt she needed the opinion and ear of someone who wasn't so involved in her life. Not that it was a slight against Dorcas in the least bit, but they had been friends for year, and part of her worried that she would just tell Em to forget about the man causing her so much grief and feelings at the same time.
So, pulling on a swimsuit and a cover, she walked over to Astoria's bed, sitting down next to her cot with chin in hand and giving her a sweet smile.
"Whatchya doin?" she asked, batting her eyelashes at the other girl.
