Polgara smiled and nodded her head a bit. "It sounds lovely," She smiles and turns her head to watch Aoaka. "Oh? Is there every anything that is?" She was sure there must be many wonderful treasures at the bottom of the lake!
Like Aoaka for this particular instance!

Aoaka thought, then smiled, "I haven't found anything, really. I think... well, there was one time I found something that looked like a old carved stone chair. It had some plants growing in it, though, and I couldn't lift it, so I left it. Oh! And I did find a broken vase that cleaned up really nice, except the handle was gone. I have it on a shelf," he said, and nodded. He couldn't think of anything else at the moment.
He wondered if there was a way that Pol could breath underwater. He'd like to share these things firsthand with her. Telling her was nice, but being there to see her reactions when she saw them would be better. He frowned lightly for a moment, but couldn't think of anything.
"Do.. you think there's someway that would let you go under with me?" he asked, smiling hopefully.

Pol smiled. "I'm sure we can figure a way to do it..." She said with a nod of her head, already thinking of asking Sol. Her mother would have no trouble in doing so, but her element was water, not... Well summoning things, which is what Pol did. She knew of course that she wasn't the best swimmer ever, and her ability to hold her breath was suspect, she'd figure something out tho!

(( sorry, I had a while of writer's block, and r/l didn't help. ^_^; When did you want to start the "scare Aoaka" thread? ^_^ ))
Aoaka nodded, sure that Pol would indeed find a way. He didn't think anything he knew would help, because he had never had to learn how to breathe water. It just... happened.
They continued to walk slowly down the path, his mind wandering. "It would nice if we could find a way to bring air to you," he said, and then blinked. Had he said that out loud? Oops, he hadn't meant to... it would never work anyway.
"Sorry, that's a silly idea. How would we do that? Air wants to rise, not sink," he said sheepishly.

Pol blinked. "Wait..." She thought for a moment over some of the thing she read in her books and she laughed. "I think I got it figured out, but I'll need to do a bit more research," Shaking her head she smiled. "You're a very smart Pae Aoaka, I'm surpised you didn't think of it sooner!"
(( Anytime is good XD ))

Aoaka was confused, and didn't feel very smart at all. What exactly had he thought of? "So... it's not silly? You mean you can do that? Or someone can? That's great!" he exclaimed.
"Do you think I could come with you when you do your research, Polgara? I'd like to see what you do... and, there are some things I want to look up, to. I heard about Pae history, and I want to learn about it," he was smiling earnestly.

Polgara smiled, "You'd want to talk about Sol for that... BUt I have a good idea on what I'm going to do, I just want to verify that I'm right, and it would only be reading my books again..."
Oh hell! Her books! She couldn't let Aoaka see those! They were... imporper!

Aoaka nodded, but asked, "Who is Sol? Would he or she be around while you research?"
He'd thought he'd have to go through plenty of books to learn what he wanted to know, but if there was someone he could ask questions of, that would be even better. Books are good at holding information, but they can't answer questions if you don't understand what they're saying to you.
He let the matter drop, and simply concentrated on the feel of Polgara's hand intertwined with his. They were nearing the lake shore now, and Aoaka, though he was having a good time, was starting to find it hard to ignore his itching skin. Every now and again, he'd reach his free hand over to scratch at his arm absently.
"I think I know just the thing to show you first, once you figure it out. But it'll be a surprise," he said, and smiled broadly at her.

Polgara smiled and nodded her head. "Yeah, he'll be there... Sol is my father, one of the first Elders of the isle, he doesn't get out much anymore, tends to coop himself up with books and studies 'round the clock, I worry for him sometimes, it's not healthy..."
Neither was spending all your life pineing over things that could have been, but she wasn't going to do that anymore.

Aoaka smiled. "Oh, he's your father! That's awesome. I'd love to meet him. And I'm sure he must have some idea what I'm looking for, too. Maybe... if he'd like to tell me some of what he knows... maybe I could get him to go for a walk to do so. It'd get him out of the house, right?" he asked.
They were almost at the lake shore, which was coming up around the next bend in the path. Of course, it was still then some distance to Aoaka's home, and Aoaka, for one, wouldn't mind extending the walk to there. Nor sharing what the lake looked like in the low light of dusk. There were even a few stars out to reflect on the water's surface.

Polgara chuckled. "It would at that, and probably have him camped in your house for months on end, trying to figure out this new great mystery," She shook her head slowly and let out a long sigh. "But I suppose we all must do the things we're meant to do, and it seems my father is meant to spend his remaining days hunched over large tomes trying to discover what was lost, and having no idea where to start."

(( omg. I completely missed this. And I swear I was looking. O.o; Maybe this could be wrapped up, and we could start another thread... Pol needs to meet Debi. ^_^ ))
"I don't think it's that great a mystery, is it? Pae'il history? I mean, I don't know much about it, but I was a Merion," he said, puzzled. How could so many people not know about their history?
Aoaka thought for a second, then said, "Sometimes, it can just help to talk it out with someone. I know it helped when I was growing up and I would ask Hula Bob and Jazz things. They didn't know much better than I did, but they asked questions that made me think," and nodded slowly.
They had reached the shore, and the waves lapped gently on the sand, the low light making the water dark and mysterious. Aoaka slowed to a stop and just watched the waves for a few moments in silence, holding Polgara's hand. He didn't want to go back, he realized. A gusty sigh escaped him, sounding a bit frustrated.

(( that would be good, sorry for the massive delay, life has been hectic for me lately... School sucks >< ))
Polgara laughed a little, but is was slightly strained. She didn't want this to end, but she knew it needed to. After all, absence makes the heart grow fonder! She smiled at Aoaka and bowed her head. "Well... It might at that, but my father isn't the most talkative of people, he used to be... but well... Life wears down on you..." She made a vauge motion with her hands, almost apathetic. "So... This is your stop..."

(( No problem. ^_^ I understand about things getting hectic. ))
Aoaka looked at the ground and bit the side of his lip. It was indeed his stop, though he would like to keep talking. So he looked up and smiled at her, giving her hand a squeeze before letting go.
"I suppose you're right. I... I had a very nice time... maybe we could meet again?" he asked, feeling very presumptuous. After all, he was just a visitor to the campaign HQ. But, then again, she hadn't offered to walk with anyone else who'd been there. Maybe he wasn't as presumptuous as he'd thought. Perhaps they could be friends...

"Definatly! It's a date!" She smiled and let go of his hand slowly before waving and taking a step back.. Then another... and another... and another...
"Bye!" She called, before quickly turning and heading up the path again.
She didn't want him to see her spazz...
