Wren: How did a water lover like you manage to find two best friends who can’t even swim. Robin: Opposites attract? Alex: I can swim. Wren: Really, why don’t you? Alex: I just don’t like it. Levi: Why? Alex: Why don’t you? Byrd: He almost drowned, so now he’s scared. Levi: Twice! Alex: Valid, I guess. Byrd: You should work on that though. Wren: Yeah, what if you fall in when no one’s around? Levi: If I don’t go near the stuff I dunno how you’re expecting me to fall in. Wren: Accidents happen-.. or else I’ll yeet you in, then you’ll have to learn. Levi: Or the sweet relief of death will find me. Robin: Alright, enough of the morbid drowning talk-.. we’re on vacation. Alex: Agreed. Levi: As long as you don’t actually chuck me in-.. okay, Wren? Wren: We’ll see. [Robin sighed, making a mental note to poke Alex about the subject again later. It’d be so much easier if he could just read her mind like everyone else, but all he could pick up on was a hint of uncomfortableness.. and guilt]

Ava: I don’t know why you like camping so much, none of our stuff is here, it’s boring. Wren: Do you really need any of it? Ava: What’s wrong with Levi? Wren: I don’t know-.. his lame girlfriend dumped him, I guess. Ava: If she’s lame, why’s he sad about it? Wren: Beats me. Ava: Where do you think that saying came from? Am I supposed to beat it out of you? Wren: Try it, squirt. Ava: That’s a stupid nickname, what about the word squirt means small anyway..?
