Being out here in a bikini isn't so bad now that it's night. The water's still warm, and it's not dark over here by the bonfire. She's just sitting, really, in the water, letting it lap over her.
A few ripples in the dark water and Lyrae rose up taking a breath, and nodded calmly to her. Only Lyrae's head and white shoulders were visible above the water's surface, her hair pulled back in a stiff braid.
Lyrae pondered the surface of the water for a time before answering.
"The world sea was very pleasant where I lived. A lake is... much like an ocean, but without many of the intrinsic features. It is quite all right to swim, I should think."
A sigh from Lyrae. Swimming was not something forgotten, and hesitation was purposeless.
"Take a breath, Lady Kira."
Whether she heeded this advice or not, Lyrae channeled to produce a current intended to draw Kira into water. The lake around Lyrae glowed softly, the water shimmering with the golden light from her aura.
"Maybe I didn't really want to go swimming all the way. I was fine with just standing there." Kira snaps, feeling like a petulant child as she moves back to where her feet can stand on solid ground.

Inwardly though it's a keyboard mash.
"Hi, Lyrae." Kira says softly, straightening a bit.

She broke the surface again, wet and glaring at Lyrae. "Kriff you."

"One swims by getting wet, Child."

"Then, you would have specified your intention as wading, not as swimming."
