Tynt was beside himself trying not to laugh at Keavah's reaction, partly because he didn't want offend her, but also because laughing hurt in his current condition. His eyes however, blazed with his amusement and it took a hand over his mouth to hide his grin.

"Sorry. I guess I misunderstood you," Yavanna said. "When you said you didn't own a bathing suit, I just thought..." She didn't bother finishing the thought. A little bit of color had made it to her cheeks as well, although she wasn't blushing as noticeably as Keavah.

Keavah had never in her life felt so...violated. She crossed her arms over her chest and drew into herself. Even her wings, hidden before, wrapped tightly around her like a bat before it turns in. She shook her head fiercely. "No, no. I just didn't bring one..." Because I can't swim....

" Well we could always try to make you one," Tynt offered, still struggling to control his mirth. " I doubt it would be all that hard. It might even be a fun project." His eyes grew a bit more serious as he considered it. " I think I could cool and compress flame into a fabric of sorts, though I have no idea if it would survive water. Maybe Yavanna can do something with plants?"

"Don't worry about it. I don't need swim wear to make my life enjoyable. Besides, I'm way too d**n pale to look right in one anyway. I'd just blind you all." She really wanted a change of topic. "So, about the bonfire...party...thing, where exactly are we supposed to find the food?" If the dorms could change, could the pantry want to play hide and seek as well?

Jessica shook her head promptly. "Its all a matter of finding the right suit!" The girl draped her arms over Keavah's shoulders with a grin. "I could use a shopping adventure too, I only have things from last season." She did a mock spin n' pose, catwalk style. "It's been a long while since I've been to the beach, it sounds so perfect!"

Keavah didn't want to go right out and say she couldn't swim so she leaned in to her friend once more. However, this was no twinkies matter. "Trust me, I don't need a bathing suit." She paused, still embarrassed.

Tynt studied Keavah for a few seconds before saying, " You're not a water person either, are you?" He smiled. " Not a huge fan of the stuff myself."

Keavah blushed. "That transparent, huh?" And here she was, hoping to merely come off as self conscious...

Clarence retrieved what he needed from his bag and returned to where the group had congregated. He was pretty sure that no one had even noticed him leaving, and it was probably for the best. He stood quietly, hands shoved in his pockets, looking down at his feet. He reached in his pocket for a bit of bread and a bit of glass, and when he pulled his hand out of his pocket he had a bottle of premium lager. He casually took a swig and listened to the conversation, gathering details where he could.

"Where'd you disappear to?" Yavanna, who had in fact noticed Clarence's absence, asked. She looked at the bottle in his hand. Interesting... apparently, Clarence had expensive tastes.

Tynt shrugged. " Maybe, or maybe it's just more obvious to me because I feel the same way. The big attraction of the beach for me is the thermals, there's always plenty of warm air over a beach and it makes for great flying conditions." He hesitated a moment, then said, " If you'd like, I could show you, if you wouldn't mind going for a fly with me."

Clarence looked up suddenly. "I...i was thirsty," he said casually(or as casually as a man with a speech impediment can). He reached for another bit of glass and bread, and produced another bottle out of the same pocket. "Want one?"

Keavah nodded. "I don't think I've ever flown high enough to ride the currents. I'm banned from flying at home, so-window hopping aside-I don't get much practice." Images of her being thrashed about in the strong winds flew into her mind, her dark and all to vivid imagination setting up scenarios that left Keavah pale and gulping. She would just have to be sure to not get so high...

"Sure," Yavanna said. "I've never had that brand before... that's the good stuff. Can't afford it usually." She accepted the bottle gratefully, and took a long drink, downing nearly half of it. She wanted Clarence to know she could drink him under the table.
