Water is not her element. She’s always known that water is not her element but this is only reaffirming how terribly true that statement is and holed away about halfway up the enormous staircase, she tries to distract herself with anything. Hearing footsteps, she stops, pauses, waits until a head of curly brown hair that’s all too familiar to her appears and she smiles. “Hey, honest question, do you think I look like a kid? One of the moms gave me this activity book and a pack of colouring in pencils. What the heck, right?”

“I’m not even that dramatic, I just think that if you’re gonna talk all this shit about Star Wars then you’re no friend of mine,” Elias shrugs easily across the table at the other. “So I asked her to leave,” he doesn’t break, eyes serious and brows furrowed, before a small hint of a smile tugs at the corner of his lips. “Anyway, do you think they do these in like a large? A larger large?” He lifts his second cup of coffee to his lips and takes a sip. “How many coffees is too many coffees? This is my fourth today, I think.”
