Taking a Dip...

[Zora Lee]

It had been a semi rough day. She had been working hard on her sorery but even more then that she was working hard on keeping up with Dorian. The child was a hellion. First he was chasing Rue and trying to pulls his ears, then he wanted to go and mess with the horses, then a bee hive, the kitchen pans, In the dirty clothes, and finally the mud. the Mud was the last thing he had gotten in to. Finally she put him to bed and asked Niessa if she'd watch him for a few hours. Niessa agreed and Zora decided that instead of showering at the house she would go for a dip in the pool under the waterfall. It was always so peaceful and serene. She could bathe in peace and relax for a bit as well. But just to be on the safe side she made sure she had her swimming suit. Just in case someone happened upon her. she knew the place was a popular spot some days but others it was peaceful. She walked along the path and then reached the pool edge. It was quiet with nothing but the moon filtering through the trees, casting shadows in some places, while liting others. The water rippled in the moons light and the waterfall created a lovely melody. Zora smiled and started to strip off her clothing slowly and then moved closer to the edge of the pool. Testing the water with her foot.

Taking after his mother's constant nagging when he was a younger, more naive boy, Rhoric folded his clothes neatly in a pile, clad in some plain shorts so he could swim. Someone else was nearby and he watched her for a few seconds and floated out towards the center of the pool of water. He was sitting, cross-legged on a small cloud. The water below was clear and he got as close as he could so that he could stretch his arm out and touch the surface of it. He wasn't going to get in just yet. Looking out at everything, Rhoric just enjoyed the scenery that surrounded him. Whistling softly, Rhoric just wondered how people were doing. He'd been away for awhile with Oliron and Zaneros.

The water was slightly cold. But she didn't care. She smiled slightly to herself and took a few steps backwards. Then all of a sudden she ran and dove into the water. At first the water was a shock to her warm skin. But slowly her body adjusted. She touched the bottom and then kicked up. Her head broke the surface and she flipped her head up to get the water and hair from her eyes. She sensed someone nearby. She looke around but didn't see anything. She shrugged slightly and swam to the falls. She hauled herself onto a rock that was just outside the spray and looked around. She saw what she was looking for. A rubbery plant that if crushed made a soapy mixture. She looked around and found a few other plants that laced with the soap plant made a fragrant soap. She scooped some of the mixture up and started to run it over her body the fragrance of it filling the air.

She was bathing. He'd never seen anyone bathe in this area. He'd always figured that it was probably because most people came to watch the fall and relax. Feeling like he was intruding, he turned his hand slightly and the cloud turned him the opposite way so that his back was now facing this woman. Whistling to himself, after several minutes, Rhoric lowered himself into the water and let himself descend to the bottom. Under the water, he could breathe as long as he wanted. He'd managed to learn how to keep an air bubble going inside of his throat and to cover his nose. His lungs would then use the air and without the use of gills, he just breathed. It took awhile and a lot of concentration to manage, but it was like regular breathing now for him. Observing several small fish and looking under some rocks, Rhoric surfaced again and sprayed water into the air, watching it go higher, and higher, until finally, he ran out of breath and it didn't come back down. Laughing, Rhoric just shook his head free of water and floated there lazily.
