Welcome to Gaia! ::

Vivian glanced around, eyes darting over each person that fell into her line of sight. School had been rough lately, and she’d needed some kind of way to unwind. So, after some much deliberation, she’d figured that a calm, quiet day at the beach would be the best answer to her stress. It seemed, however, that quiet was the last thing that she was going to get that day. Several people lined the beach and a couple of groups looked to be families — with children. Vivian sighed as she hefted her back up onto her shoulder and moved to a spot that was the farthest away from the children and laid out her blanket.

Her plan was to lay out and read for a bit — and later she might even swim. Nothing that had to do with work. Just a novel she’d been wanting to start in on for ages now but had never really had the time — or made the time, at least. It seemed that Vivian was almost always busy reading some kind of medical text book. She huffed and shoved the thought of school out of her mind as she sat her bag down and settled down onto the blanket. With a built in pillow, she was able to comfortable prop her head up to read and soon, she found herself lost in the adventures unfolding on the pages. Swimming could wait for now.

Vivian blinked, book falling down against her chest as she glanced up at the voice. Her eyebrows raised as the litch before her continued to speak, not even giving her a chance to get a word in edgewise. She flushed lightly at the pretty comment but her eyes were soon narrowing when he finished. Huffing, she closed her book, pushed herself up into a sitting position and laid the book off to the side. “You should work on your pickup lines. They’re a little cheesy.”

Vivian stared at the litch, wondering if that had also been a purposeful cheesy line or if he was serious. Surely it was a pick up line. She huffed but refrained from rolling her eyes — barely. She laid her book off to the side and pushed herself up. “Perhaps,” she said, stretching her arms above her head. “Too much cheese is never fun, though.” She raised an eyebrow, a smalls mile curling up the corners of her lips. “Anyway, you mentioned water? I think I’ve read enough for now. Perhaps I can go for a swim.”

Vivian couldn’t help but let a small chuckle escape her lips at that cheesy line. Sometimes, there was at least some cheese she did like. Shaking her head she followed after the litch, towards the water. When the cold water hit her feet, Vivian paused and curled her toes into the wet sand. She really did love swimming. Reaching up, Vivi pulled out her hair tie and let her hair loose before moving forward into the water. She glanced towards the litch, eyebrow raising a fraction. “So what’s your name?”
