BOND-Y BEACH

[grimpa]

Who: Eliza, Fang and interested parties
When: Day 21, morning
Where: The beach

[Remember on Day 12 when we got back actually-pretty beaches and actually-safe shallows? WELL. Today there's a mass message from one of your resident cute Thymes on ChainChat!]

Eliza: hi hi hi!
Eliza: Do you know how to swim? 🏊🌊
Eliza: Do you want to learn how?? Knowing how to swim is great for fun and saftey 🐠
Eliza: Meet us on the beach for lessons today 🏖️

[If you decide to follow up on that and head in that direction, or are just out on the beach for other reasons, you'll find Eliza (in a cute two-piece) and Fang (in boring black board shorts, but check those hella scars) hanging out along the shoreline, a bottle or two of sunscreen and Thyme-colored towels at their feet! If you pass close enough you may be greeted by a friendly wave or a business-like nod.]

Did you want to participate in our swimming lessons?

Of course not~ Practice makes perfect, right?

[desirestruth]

...And really, it's an excuse to play in the water and make sparks, right?

[bowtiedbones]

I don't need an excuse for a beach day. But it is a bonus!

[desirestruth]

You really are irrepressible, huh?

[Why are you so damn cute!!!]

[bowtiedbones]

Never stop and never settle, that's my motto!

[desirestruth]

It's not a bad model, but you make an old woman envy the energy of youth.

[She will never get tired of this joke about her age. NEVER.]

[bowtiedbones]

[eliza still thinks it's an excellent joke at least]

Please, if I only look half as good at your age.

[player recognizes player. real recognizes real. mom recognizes mom.]

I don't think my secrets for aging gracefully are really going to catch on anytime soon, though.

[bowtiedbones]

I don't know, depending on how integral "turn into a soft fluffy jackal" is to the process... There could be interest.

[desirestruth]

[Is she slowly starting to blush? Nah, you're imagining it. She's not embarrassed.]

Nightkin have longer lifespans than humans, but not like this, usually...

[bowtiedbones]

But it's not not a factor?

[desirestruth]

I mean the major factor appears to be that I technically already died.

[bowtiedbones]

That is sort of a high entry bar to clear.

[desirestruth]

I could not in good conscience recommend it.

[bowtiedbones]

I'll stick to my average aging lifespan for now.

[desirestruth]

That's probably for the best. You'll probably age cutely anyway.

[bowtiedbones]

I'm banking on looking 40 at 70.

[desirestruth]

I have great faith in your ability to be cute.

[bowtiedbones]

Thanks!
