[ Nearby, lazily lying on the ground near the lake. ]

Strange? What, never been swimming before, kid?

Well, I was being sarcastic, so didn't see that coming. Seriously, though, the water's not going to eat you or something.

[alchemistsquery]

But it feels odd. Will it really be okay?

[sexy_beams]

Sure!

Unless you drown.

[alchemistsquery]

[She frowns, unable to calculate the risk of that happening.]

[sexy_beams]

Uh. Duh? Something wrong with you?

Jeez, you sure are taking your time.

[alchemistsquery]

[Alfimi looks back at Etna and in doing so, slips, going into the water with a splash. She gasps and flails for a few moments before realizing that the water's shallow enough to stand in, and starts to calm down.]

...Um... hmm.

[sexy_beams]

This is sad. Hilarious! But sad.

[alchemistsquery]

I don't understand why it is either of those.
