mmm, tea

"Do you think I should try out for swim team?" Andi asks her sister.

"I don't know, do you want to be on the swim team?" inquires Bella.

"Maybe, I don't know. It could be fun, and I'd get to be in the pool a lot."

"Then sure, go for it." Bella bites into her grilled cheese.

"What kind did you get?"

[palmofyourhand]

He answers. At length. In detail. In his yummy accent.

[pandion]

Yummmmmm.

[instar]

Bella steps on her foot.

[pandion]

"Ow!"

[instar]

"Sorry. You know me. So clumsy I have to sit out of gym."

[palmofyourhand]

Ethan raises his eyebrows at Bella.

[instar]

"It's true, I sit out of gym, ask anyone."

[pandion]

"She's barely functional," sighs Andi, "falls down the stairs, trips on nothing, she can only do gym if it's something like pull-ups where at least no one else will sue when she inevitably injures herself."

[palmofyourhand]

"Sorry to hear that," says Ethan.

[pandion]

"Yeah. I'm not clumsy like that, I might try out for swim team."

[instar]

"I'm actually not terrible in the water. It's just ordinary human locomotion that gives me a problem. But I do not care to be on the swim team."

[palmofyourhand]

"That makes two of us," laughs Ethan. "Not that I have anything against swimming. It's the 'team' part I don't care for."

[instar]

"I think the swim team is less teamlike than, say, the basketball team."

[pandion]

"Yeah, it's more like just a bunch of swimmers, it's not like it's water polo."

[palmofyourhand]

"Eh," says Ethan, "still not my thing."

[pandion]

"Fair enough. I think I will try out, though. Maybe I'll make it, maybe I won't."

[palmofyourhand]

"Good luck."

[pandion]

"Thanks!"

[palmofyourhand]

He smiles.

He has an attractive smile.

[pandion]

He doooooooes.

"Ow."

[instar]

"Sorry - who's that? I don't think I've seen her before?"

[palmofyourhand]

"Who's who?" inquires Ethan.

[instar]

"The girl over there wandering around." Bella waves at her.

[hold_infinity]

The girl spots the wave, looks confused, and then approaches.
