Geneva Pfalser After the Race 8/3/09 (Attn: Those from "Race Night"/Anyone) Posted by Geneva
As soon as Sabre stops the car by the lake Alayna steps out bare-footed, happy not to be confined anymore. She still refused to buy a swimsuit back at the store and begins walking to the lake in her dress, not bothering to look back to see if the others were following.

Sabre opened the car door and lifted the seat so the other two could get out and walked down to the beach. Once down by the beach he kicks off his shows, pulls his shirt off and then drops his pants and pulls on his swim trunks. A moment later he sprints past Alayna, into the water and dives in.
Tsuritsa smiled as she slid by Laz, winking, "Catch me if you can," she giggled, winking as she ran towards the water. At the edge she let her skirts fall around her ankles and undid her bodice, sliding both pieces of her top clothing away from the bathing suit top.
She stood there in the moonlight, wearing the silver red and black bikini top and matching skirt, "How's the water?" she called to Sabre.

Sabre notices that Alayna is sitting by the water's edge instead of swimming. He watches the way her hair shimmers in the breeze, reflected by the moonlight. He couldn't remember ever seeing her look more beautiful. After a moment, he realizes he's staring at her and decides to go ahead and swim back in to the shore. Once he's there he takes a seat beside her and asks, "Is everything ok?"
All the while, while they were heading down to the water lazarus disapears for a few minutes. The next time any one sees him he is in his just his suit pants. Socks and the rest had been shed and laid gently behind the tree a safe distance from the water. He is abuot to swing out of on an old rope swing that the tree has grown around the knot at its branch base. The rope has a few knots its been forced into and a number of small splinters from its abuse from the weather. He grips the knots with both hands and grips the bottom knot with his feet.
As he swings out he looks out to make sure that there isnt anything to dangerious, under water logs with jagged edges. As he lets go he does a full flip in the air and lands on his feet in to the deep end. he goes a few feet under water and pushes him self up from the merkey sandy lake bottom. as he surfaces he beings to swim to where the group is. Its not a far swim but it does feel good to get the much needed exercise that his body is craving.

Alayna doesn't look at Sabre as she speaks but instead looks out over the moonlit water. Her face holds a smile but in her eyes there is a sadness that seems to penetrate her gaze. "Yes. Everything is fine."
She continues to stare out over the water for a few more seconds before finally turning to face him. "Would you laugh at me if I told you I didn't know how to swim? I know I wouldn't drown but..." She shrugs, not finishing her sentence.

Sabre looks at her and smiles a sympathetic smile and shakes his head, "No I wouldn't laugh at you. There's no shame in it. I am willing to teach you if you want to learn though." He slides his arm around her shoulders and looks back out over the water, watching the moon reflect off of it. After a moment he smiles and says without facing her, "I learned the hard way."
