The Outcasts ((Accepting))

"Wow!" Daniella said when Syth caught the little puppy. "That was close!" Her arms cutting through the water, she swam over to him and Aery. "Is she okay?" She asked, petting the young dog gently.

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

Syth set down a slightly shaken up Aery down beside him when Daniella began to swim toward them, and the little puppy looked over at Daniella with scared, big blue eyes. "She's fine," Syth mumbled monotonically.

"Good." Daniella said. She put her arms on the pavement by the pool and hoisted herself out, twisting around to sit with her legs dangeling in the water. "Are we done?" She asked.

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

"Up to you," Syth mumbled as he flicked his head, his white hair nearly dried out, his chest completely dry. He placed his hands behind him and slightly leaned back, tilting his head back to glance at the sun, then looked at her. Aery crept over and sat down beside Daniella.

Daniella tried not to shiver, seeing Syth like that. She couldn't work out why she was feeling this way. It wasn't like she liked him or anything. Right?

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

Aery looked at Daniella with a cocked head, then bounded over to Syth. He looked down at the puppy with a slight smile, staying leaned back on one hand, and lifted the other to gently pet her.

Daniella tilted her head up to the sun. It was nice and warm here in the sunshine. She smiled. Her shoulders were still pretty wet from her dripping hair, but her legs were drying. At least the parts that weren't still dipped in the pool. She gathered up her hair and pulled it over one shoulder.

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

Syth glanced over at her, his hand slowing on petting Aery as he watched Daniella for a moment, then blinked, realizing he might have been staring at her, and slowly looked down at the confused little puppy sitting beside his thigh.

Daniella's eyes opened. She hadn't even noticed they were closed. Just a reflex from looking at the sun; her eyelids shut. But now they were open. She pulled her leg out of the water and made a towel appear, which used to dry off her hair and shoulders. Then her bikini disappeared, replaced with white jean shorts and a blue tee shirt. Not what she was wearinbg before, but whatever.

[Ƨнα∂σω Ƙιƨƨ]

Aery looked over and watched Daniella with wide, curious eyes when she was just making things appear, like a towel and clothes. She growled a little playfully as she bounded over to her, in that cute little way where her feet bounced off the ground with every step. Syth stood up and got a towel and dried his legs off, then made his clothes appear, the same shirt, but pure white jeans this time, contrasting with his black shirt.
