"Oh, I'm Sage. You were sleepwalking and I didn't want you to get hurt or something so I wanted to wake you up." He explained, offering a smile. "And you are…?"
"Oh, I'm Sage. You were sleepwalking and I didn't want you to get hurt or something so I wanted to wake you up." He explained, offering a smile. "And you are…?"
"Ah. Quinn." He replied slowly, looking at Safe. "Sorry about that." He ran a hand through his reddish brown hair. "It's nice to meet you." He didn't know why he had started to sleepwalk again. He hadn't in a long time.
"Nice to meet you. It's all good, man. I don't mind. It's probably a good thing I saw you, who knows what could have happened if I didn't." Sage said quietly. He smiled and looked around just to make sure there were no counselors that had woken up, thankfully there weren't.
Quinn nodded a little. "Yeah. I might have walked into the lake." He chuckled softly, shaking his head for a moment, and ran a hand through his hair.
"Yeah," Sage said with a little laugh as well, "You wanna walk with me? I couldn't sleep so I decided to get some air." He said, smiling.
Quinn nodded a little, returning the smile. "Yeah, sure." he said softly, walking over to Sage. He was smiling softly. He ran a hand through his hair.
"So is this your first year here? I don't recognize you." Sage asked, tilting his head to look at Quinn. He put his hands in his pockets, his right hand fidgeting with a rock that was in his pocket.
Quin nodded. "Yeah, it is. This was the first year that I was allowed to go." he smiled, though the smile was tight and a little bit forced. He shrugged, putting his hands in his pockets as well.
"The first year you're allowed to go? Interesting… My parents are always so relieved to have me gone for a good majority of the summer. They started sending me here the second I was old enough." He explained as they turned toward the lake.
"Yeah. My parents were…worried about corrupting influences or something like that." he replied, glancing over at the other boy for a moment, then away again.
"Ah. Makes sense… well if they're afraid about bad influence then you should probably stop walking with me since we shouldn't be out here right now. We are required to be in our cabins and we get in big trouble if we're caught outside after curfew. I should know since I'm usually the only one that does this." Sage explained with a sneaky grin. He was never one to completely follow rules.
Quinn laughed. "Well, I was already out here, so." he shrugged, looking over at Sage with a sideways smile. "Besides, that's…not quite what they were worried about." he shook his head, running a hand through his hair.
"Ah okay then. Perfect!" Sage said happily. He never got a chance to do anything with anyone else since everyone else were apparently good children and they didn't do stuff they weren't supposed to. "Would you like to officially join me in doing stuff past curfew and during activity time?" He asked, hoping the boy would agree to it.
Quinn cocked his head slightly. "Well…like what?" he asked slowly, studying Sage. He wanted to agree, he did, but he wasn't really sure he should. Depending on what Sage did here.
"Not much actually… but walking around and swimming in the lake past curfew, going out to explore on my own during outdoor lessons, occasionally taking one of the chocolate bars reserved for counselors. Ya know, simple stuff like that." Sage explained.
"Oh. Alright. Sure." Quinn smiled at Sage, tugging at the hem of his pajama shirt for a moment. "That sounds fun." he wished he had a hoodie with him. It was colder than he had thought it would be.
"I know it's not a lot but it just spices things up a little," Sage said with a little laugh. They came to a clearing of the trees that opened to the lake. "Well, would you look at that, we're here!" He said excitedly. He motioned for Quinn to follow him as he ran down to the water. He pulled off his shirt and waded into the water. He dunked himself all the way in the water and smiled at Quinn again.
Quinn chuckled. He raised his eyebrows a little when Sage ran in, then took off his own shirt, wading into the water after the other boy. "It's fucking freezing!" He exclaimed, wrapping his arms around himself.
"Ah it's not that bad. It's not as bad as last year for sure. You'll get used to it, I promise." Sage said as he started swimming around. He swam to Quinn then turned around and kicked his legs as hard as he could, splashing Quinn.
Quinn yelped at the splashing, holding up his hands to protect himself. After a moment, he splashed Sage back, smiling a little. "If you say so." he replied, goosebumps all over his arms and body.
"C'mon, follow me!" Sage yelled back to Quinn. He was already swimming, seeming to be going to the other side of the lake. "This will get your blood pumping and warm you up!"
Quinn swam after Sage. "Where are you going?" he yelled back, shivering a little bit as he swam after the other boy.
"You'll see!" Sage answered, "It's a surprise!" He started swimming a little faster, excited to finally share this place with someone else.
Quinn swam after Sage, shivering even as he swam. He was freezing cold now, and hoped he would eventually warm up.
"How's it going? You making it?" Sage called back to Quinn. He stopped swimming so he could ask Quinn without running out of air faster. They were basically in the middle of the lake, so it was the deepest there than anywhere else.
