Fortunate Discoveries
Who: Helena and OPEN
When: Late afternoon
Where: In one of the deeper bathing pools, further from the tree than she usually hangs out.
What: Bath time - and a new plant discovered!
Rating: PG (nude bathing?)
Helena sighed as she sank up to her chin in the deep pool. Like all of the stream, it was rock bottomed but this particular dip and inlet in the stream seemed smooth on the sides, as though it had been a single boulder and over the years the water had scooped a bowl out of it. She made a mental note to tell Rowan about this place tomorrow. She was sure if they had another day as hot at this one, poor Ro was going to need a nice soak in a deep, apparently unfish free pool. She could feel the current tugging at her but it wasn't too hard to resist, pressed back against the edge.
Her clothes were drying on the screen of bushes that had protected this pool from view until she had almost fallen into it. It felt nice to be out of the t-shirt and shorts after wearing them for a week. They were grimey, smelly and stained. She was sure that the stains would never come out but she was hoping the gentle rubbed against the fine grained rock of the bank would get the worst of the body dirt out of them. Now that just left her to doze against the rock, let her body cool down in the water. She tried to keep and eye cracked so that she wouldn't lose track of time. The sun was already starting it's downward arch and it would take her a half hour to walk back to the tree. Still, the lull of being comfortable was strong and she let her eyes slip closed.
