Lessons

[Vandos Zanlaraniel]

He stood with Alder in his hands, in the part of the lake that was about two feet give or take and they were both in some swimming trunks. "Ready Alder? I'm gonna throw ya in."

[Alder Zotithla]

He nodded fiercely and grinned. "Thows! Thows!" He waited for Van to throw him. He loved this more than anyone realized.

[Vandos Zanlaraniel]

"One..." He started swinging Alder back and forth. "Two...." He watched as Alder's face broke out into a huge grin."Three!" He tossed Alder out lightly across the lake.

[Alder Zotithla]

"Whooooooooooooooooo!" He felt himself in the air and then came splashing down into the water, taking about a gulp of it into his mouth and stood up, laughing, coughing, and rubbing his eyes."Mwores!!"

[Vandos Zanlaraniel]

He laughed and waded over toward Alder and shook his head. "Let's take a break Alder." He got onto his back and patted his stomach. "Up."

[Alder Zotithla]

He nodded and clambered onto Van's stomach and sat there as Van floated on the water slowly.

[Maezyl King]

She had just arrived to the lake, after Van telling her he was going to take Alder to swim. She thought they would probably need some food after their swimming lesson so she brought a basket with her and laid it down on the ground watching them both silently. Van and Alder looked so cute together and the sight just made her so happy. After a few minutes, she decided to break the silence. "Hey you two, I brought you guys some food, thought you both might need strength after your lessons."

[Vandos Zanlaraniel]

He heard Mae mention the word food and got up, not realizing that he had let Alder fall into the water until several seconds later and laughed. "Sorry there buddy. Have to be quick on your feet." He laughed and put his arm out for Alder, watching the boy cling on and walked to where Mae was and sat down, kissing her on the cheek.

[Alder Zotithla]

"Likes dabdy and mammy. Bleck." He was referring to them kissing and sat down, his arms around his body as he shivered because he was cold.

[Maezyl King]

She giggled when she felt his cold beard against her skin. She pulled out several bottles of juices out and some sandwiches, and then everyones favorite chickens on the sticks for them. She watched Alder shiver and pulled off a jacket she had on, and draped it over him. "Better, Al?"

[Vandos Zanlaraniel]

He drunk half of his bottle of juice and at a few pieces of chicken and burped, smiling and resting his head on Mae's lap, looking up at her. "How's my angel?"

[Alder Zotithla]

He pulled the jacket tightly over his shoulders and nodded and fumbled with the stick and just pulled a piece of chicken off and ate it happily, taking a sip of juice as it dribbled down his chin."Fanks."

[Maezyl King]

She looked down at him and kissed him, tasting the chicken from his breath. She smiled and poked his cheek. "I'm alright, what about you?" She turned to Alder for a moment, seeing th juice dribble from his chin and giggled. "How are you Al, and how's your sister?"

[Vandos Zanlaraniel]

He smiled and licked his lips. "I'm good." He nodded and took her hand in his own and just examined it randomly, kissing her fingers slowly.

[Alder Zotithla]

"We otays." He nodded and ate some more chicken, licking his lips, really savoring the taste of them and then drank some more juice.
