The Beach, Wednesday Morning

[pulseof_life]

It was cold out, but Yeul had felt colder even here on the island and, either way, it did not bother her. She stepped carefully, but with the ease of long practice, as she meandered through the snow that hid the rocks on the beach and made it rather more treacherous than it was in the warmer months

Jono didn't often go for walks along the beach like this, but some days, it seemed far more necessary than others. For example, if, say, he'd spent Monday cleaning up after what was apparently a sushi orgy in his living room, mixed with a healthy dose of murder...

His sinuses weren't what they used to be, and he still couldn't get the smell of three day old fish and wasabi out of his nose.

He wasn't surprised to see Yeul out as well, though. And as an added bonus, she hadn't had anything to do with the insanity of the weekend.

//Afternoon, luv. Nice day for watching the waves?//

"Hello, Professor," she said cheerfully, turning to face him rather than the waves. "I could not say if it is a particularly nice day to do so, but I felt like it, so I suppose it might be."

Possibly. Maybe.

"And you? Is it a nice day for you to do the same?"

Someday, she would stop calling him that. 'Professor' was a bald man that Jono had waning respect for.

... Not that she could possibly know to, since he refused to correct her. British problems.

//There have been worse ways to spend a morning,// Jono replied with a shrug of his shoulders. //Little chilly out, but the cold is something I'm used to. And it gets me out of my apartment for a bit. Seemed like a good day to just... do nothing of note. It's not my day to tend the shop, and class this week is shaping up to be fairly straightforward.//

He stopped a stone's throw away and looked out at the water.

//Didn't want to be cooped up today, I suppose.//

[... He totally said 'morning' up there. Ssh.]

"Are you alright?" she wondered, clasping her hands in front of her. "I know that the weekend was apparently quite... interesting, for some number of people."

Not her though.

[Uh huh. Sure.]

Liara had been out on an errand of some description - what about, she didn't quite remember, because she had gotten lost on the way back.

Yes, even now. Sometimes she was far too caught up in her own thoughts.

And now she had wandered-- Oh. "Yeul!"

[pulseof_life]

"Oh, hello, Liara," Yeul said, smiling as she turned to look over at her friend. "It has been a while, has it not?"

Right? Yeul thought it had been, by the standards of those who counted time normally.

[fewerexplosions]

"It has been some time," Liara agreed warmly. She was asari; the passage of such time didn't phase her that much. But other species-- well.

She walked down the beach. "I am sorry. I have been distracted."

[pulseof_life]

"There's no need for an apology," Yeul said cheerfully. "I was no better at looking for you. Perhaps we should call it even?"

She looked curious. "What have you been distracted by?"
