Valentin and Haylie: Pep Talk
Unlike most of the warm-blooded students, who were wrapped in blankets or towels even before they would jump in the water, most vampires who would jump simply went around in their bathing suits or their trunks. While their bodies did register the cold, it did not bother them. The same was true for Valentin, who padded around on the lakeshore with his bare feet, clad in a sporty pair of black trunks with a white stripe on them.
He was standing besides Haylie, who was huddled in her blanket as well. "Okay," he told her, "I know this is gonna suck, but it;s just briefly very cold, okay? Once you've jumped, you can come running right back to the shore, warm up by the campfire and have some hot cocoa."
He clapped his hands together, giving her his best rah-rah eyes. "It's like a rite of passage! And you're badass! You can do this!"
