@Dirt
Afriel scrubbed at her scalp, glad to be getting rid of any dirt that lingered. Then stared at her clothes hoping they'd dry fast.

Zackary emerged out of the lake. He inhaled softly, raising his nose slowly.
After a while Afriel decided her clothes where dry enough and quickly dressed. She took her time braiding her hair and then slowly walked back to camp, wondering if Zackary had returned yet.
Zackary had not returned. Zackary sunk back down into the lake with a sigh.
Afriel sighed before going back to where she'd seen Zackary earlier. "Hey mister water logged, did you drown now?" She didn't dare look at the water as she spoke, instead she looked down at her feet awkwardly.
Zackary poked his head out of the water, but not his body.
“My clothes aren’t dry yet.”
"Yeah well its been a while." Afriel sighed, "and believe it or not I'm really bored with out someone to annoy."
Zackary gave a little laugh. “Then join me in here if you so desire.”
Afriel froze with shock, "what?" She finally let her eyes wonder to Zackary's face.
Zackary was staring determindely at her, knowing from the bottom of his heart she wasn’t going to do such a thing.
“You heard me.”
"I-" Afriel felt heat rise to her face, Zackarys gaze making her squrm. "Do you, want me to?" Her voice was nearly above a whisper.
Zackary hummed softly. “I don’t care what you do.” Though deep down he did want her to.
"Then why suggest it?" Afriel wrapped her wings around herself. She did consider it, but now She didn't know.
Zackary opened an eye. “My suggestion is true. I don’t mind if you join me.”
"If you touch me I will personally drown you." Afriel kept her wings around herself as she pulled her clothes back off and slipped into the water.
Zackary polietly sunk into the water as she got undressed, soaking his hair again. When she got into the lake again he submerged again, humming and flicking the hair out of his face.
Afriel, even in the water, still had her wings around herself. "Do you usually ask girls to join you?"
“Not every girl feels the need to annoy me. You said it yourself. You came here to annoy me, so here you are…”
"Uh-huh. Well I wanted to annoy you at camp." Afriel narrowed her eyes at him.
Zackary yawned and sat back into the lake, either making Afriel upset she couldn’t see through the water or glad (depending on how she felt about him wink wonk).
“My clothes aren’t dry yet and I want to enjoy the lake.”
(Oh gosh. xD)
Afriel sat up slightly, but for the most part still was under the water, "ssoo." She looked for something to talk about, "the lakes uh, nice."
Zackary hummed, relaxing and shutting his eyes. “Indeed they are.”
Afriel nodded her head and this time stayed quiet. Relaxing slightly and sinking so it was just her head once again.
Zackary dozed lightly as he floated there, slipping in his unconsciousness. He shook himself awake but continued dozing anyway.
"Didn't sleep well last night?" Afriel watched him carefully.
