[For the first time in several days, Miria wakes up, stretches, and heads out of her room, in search of food. As the doors open, she immediatily notices the change in surroundings...and loves it]

Miria! You're alright!

James! Hi!! Isn't this amazing? I've never been to a beach before, it's so beautiful!
[Perhaps she didn't hear the 'you're alright'? Or she doesn't know what he means so she's just ignoring it and is more delighted to see him - most likely the latter]

It's pretty beautiful, isn't it? Water's not even cold.
[He's been swimming, clearly]
Thank Merlin, you're alright!

I'm alright? Of course I am! Who isn't on a da like this!
and who's Merlin? He sounds strange and wonderful!

Oh, Merlin? He was, er, a Wizard centuries ago. He was brilliant, like the best Wizard ever. Well, until me. I'm going to be famous like him one day. At least, I plan to be.

((The whole idea of wizards and magic is literally the coolest thing to her at the moment ^^;;))
Oh wow! Really?! That's incredible! I'm sure you'll be even better than him one day!

[Holds out her arms and closes her eyes, feeling the breeze and the warmth of the sun on her face. After a moment, she opens her eyes again, and look over to the ocean, smiling again]
Did you say the water's good? It looks it~

[He rubs the back of his head. Then, any anxiety disappears]
Yeah! The water's great! You wanna come?

It's wonderful! It's so warm!!

You're alright then?
[He laughs when she sits up]
I've never been in seawater this warm before.

Come in deeper! It's so clear too..You can see everything!
[She goes to carry on,her hands clearing the stirring sand so that she can see the floor. However, she soon finds that, when her feet no longer touch the sea bed, she actually can't do anything other than flail a little and back track; Well done Miria. You now realise, in the ocean, that you can't swim.]

[Especially since James doesn't have much faith in Miria's survival skills.]
I bet there's a reef out--
[He sees her struggling and catches her, keeping her head above water with his. Luckily James is a strong swimmer.]
Careful.

I guess in the middle of a big city, you don't really need to huh? [She then laughs at her own mistake to hide her embarrassment of having to be 'rescued']

[James looks dumbstruck]
Er, you shouldn't try to swim in the ocean unless you know what you're doing. It's really easy to drown out here.

W-well..I mean, I guess I always assumed I could..sorry, that was a little stupid of me..
[She finds her footing and goes to head back to shore(completely embarrassed by this point]
I know; I'm sorry - maybe I shouldn't have come out of my tent; I guess I'm a bit of a safety hazard [Nervous laugh]
