Nick chuckled for a moment as he watched Iris swim around, not caring to join her. He was just fine on top of the water and didn't intend to go see what game she was trying to play. That is.. if she wad playing a game. Shutting his eyes for a moment, he relaxed as much as he could, trying to clear his mind. After a while, he didn'tvhear her come back up, so Nick turned his head again, finally spotting her near the bottom of he pool.

Rebekah swallowed the lump inher throat, clutching Artemis tightly, but not so tight as to strangle thw poor thing. "We could... Um..." she thought for a moment, not really interested but not wanting him to hurt her or anything. "Paint or... Go swimming or draw or something..." she said quietly, glancing up at Dallas for a moment and ignoring his smile.

Rafeyelle mewed up to Bekah and her cat, purring softly. She sat and mewed again. Dallas looked to the cats and then to Bekah before going inside. "Well, if drawing is what you want to do..." He sighed as he went into a seperate room to grab some paper and pencils.



Iris swam up next to him, and swam over to the side of the pool, and pulled herself out to sit on the edge. Grabbing the towel, she wiped away some of the water form her eyes. She threw it back softly and slipped in again, just staying put, looking around confusedly. Iris wanted to talk, but she didn't want to upset Nick, so she kept silent and put.

Rebekah noted the slight... dissapointment? In his voice and sighed, looking down at the cat in front of her. What was it's name? R-R... Rafeyelle? She sighed and bent down, lightly petting the cats head. If Dallas really didn't like her artistic streak, then did he have any ideas about what to do? Biting her lip, she straightened up, still not letting go of Artemis. The cat, as odd as it sounded, was a bit like a child's blanket or atuffed animal. The cat calmed her.

Nick huffed and flipped over, running his fingers through his wet hair before he swam over to the edge. Leaning against it, he said, "You're quiet today. Got anything on your mind?" He raised an eyebrow, wishing that for once, she would meet his gaze and talk to him like that. Yeah, she was peobably shy out of fear and respect, but still. It was nice to have a civil conversation every once in a while.

Rafeyelle followed Dallas, and sat down near him, watching with curiosity. Dallas drew with quick strokes and soon he had flowers in a vase on his paper. All it needed was soem color. "Rebekah?" His voice echoed through the house.

Iris looked up her purple eyes fighting to actually make eye contact. finally she made eye contact. now to talk. "there's nothing much to talk about," Her words were simple and sweet, as if she actually cared. but she didn't. She just wanted to swim. It cooled her down allot, and got rid of her moods.
