Thursday Morning

[Elouise Sullivan]

Having finished her morning jog Elouise had taken to the pools, it was Thursday morning and lessons did not start for another two hours, so she figured ‘why not’ she had her school robes in her bag and the books for her first lesson. She would grab something to eat in a little while, but for the moment it was time for swimming.

The sun reflected off the rippling water casting warmth across the pool area. Elouise loved this time of the day more then any other, it was wonderful. She dived off the diving rig into the depths of the pool feeling the cold of the crystalline waters wash over her. It was very refreshing after the heat of running. She really liked it.

Starting her laps she glimpsed someone coming towards the pool. She couldn’t see them clearly during her breaths and glimpsed the figure slipping into the pool on the far end. She didn’t pay them a lot of notice knowing that if they wanted to address her they would. In the meantime she would continue doing her laps.

[Godric Emerindyl]

Godric slipped into the pool from the far end, he had seen someone was swimming, and had an inkling it might be Elouise but he could not be sure. He had woken early owing to having a very bad attempt at sleeping the night before. He knew that following a night of unrest; his day would be a little more unrestful, he would be tired all day.

He slipped beneath the surface feeling the cold wash over him, this would certainly wake him up, he knew that much. He would need it, though class didn’t start for a while he knew that this way he would be able to recover from his lack of sleep and possibly wake up the rest of his body by stimulating it with cold. He started moving through the water expertly, remaining in human form as he did it.

He knew he could have just gone swimming in Emerindyl Lake, but it was murky looking and he did not have the energy to argue with Grindylows. This clear as crystal water was a lot more welcoming. That and there was quite a bit of sun on the waters surface and this warmed him while cooling him down in alternate actions.

He swam for a little while then stopped as he saw he had swam into the path of the other swimmer. He stopped moving back against the wall of the pool watching quietly.
