"Great work Lieutenant," He grinned before opening his mouth then closing it. Coughing lightly.
"It seems I have forgotten about our, uh swim clothes…"

Liz giggled a little, as her blush darkened a little. ”I didn't.” she said a little softly. ”Don’t worry, Commander. I wasn't suggesting that we…” she paused for the right words but for some reason couldn't find them. Maybe it was because of how much she liked and respected him that caused her words to falter.

"That we?" He took a step forward and brushed away her hair from her face as he looked into her eyes.

She would swear her heart skipped a beat or two at the gesture and her face heated up more. ”That we…” she said softly, ”do anything… indecent.” she finally told him. ”Obviously swimming in our clothes isn't the best idea but we don't have to take everything off.”

"Of course," He chuckled and kissed her.
"Whatever you want, I don't mind,"

She sighed softly into the kiss, feeling herself melt as she was able to relax and calm down from the almost awkward moment. ”Ok.” she smiled at him.

James smiled back,
"Should we get ready for the dip in the lake or do you just want to stare into my eyes?" He smirked.

Liz shook her head, laughing a little. ”Can I help that your eyes are so captivating?” she asked going back to her familiar playful teasing. ”If you think the camp is ready enough for the night, then I'm up for that swim.” she smirked.

"I mean, for bedding, we could go find some soft grass and leaves, other than that, no, not really," He thought for a moment before answering.

She nodded. ”I think I saw some tall grass a little ways over there that we can cover with the leaves you found to wrap the fish in.” she told him. ”It probably wouldn't be much but it should work.”

"Then let's go and quickly get that done," He nodded before holding her hand warmly and walking to the stalks of tall grass.

She smiled and walked with him, gently running her thumb against his knuckles. ”Do you think we can actually use our magic here?” she asked as she looked at the grass.

"Perhaps, we can only try and see," He shrugged before beginning to collect the grass.

”And hope it doesn't affect us or anything around us on the ship when we wake up.” She nodded, adding her sudden thought. She regretted that they had to let go of each other in order to gather the grass but the sooner they finished the sooner they can hold hands again.

"Hopefully," He muttered, making as many piles of grass as possible and tying them up.

She sighed a little at his comment and tied up another armful of grass together.

A few minutes later, James got up with a few piles of grass and glanced at Liz.
"I think this should be enough,"

”Alright.” Liz nodded and stretched out before gathering up her bundles of grass. ”At least that swim will help us loosen up, otherwise my back would be soo stiff in the morning.” she said as she walked over to James.

"Yeah, it's 'rejuvenating' after all," He chuckled as they reached the cave, James went inside and made the beddings with grass before coming out.
"Everything is done then?"

She smiled at him and nodded, looking at the shelter they put together. ”I think that's everything.” she agreed. “Ready to go swimming?”

"Course," He smiled.
"And ready to beat you in a race." He grinned.

”We’ll see about that.” she smirked at him as she started taking off her shirt, already running to the water. Laughing, she tossed the piece of clothing back at him.

"Hey!" He chuckled and chased after her, grabbing her shirt and folding it as he reached the side of the lake.
"Don't crease your clothes! First rule in the military," He grinned and placed the shirt onto the ground nearby. Then took his shirt and pants and boots off and dived into the lake.

She laughed again from the water’s edge as she had to stop to take off her boots. ”How likely do you think they are to stick to that rule in a dream?” she asked with a smile, folding her pants before dropping them next to her shirt and jumping into the water.

"Very." He chuckled as he swam towards her.
"So beautiful, up for a race?"
