Welcome to Gaia! ::

He held up the hand with the apple, using one finger to point at her. "I never said I didn't want to be kidnapped, I only questioned whether or not you could kidnap me." Oserys also didn't want to be made to do chores. Especially dusting. It was one of the more boring ones.

This was his first time really in the forest. He'd always ventured parallel to it. So it was amazing to him to see a tree with a trunk so wide. He looked up at it with a bit of wonder before lowering his gaze to Ezili. "Hm? I can if you want me to but it seems like you're trying to avoid the water. Are you sure you can swim? If not then I can hold you in the water so you don't go under." That's usually what adults did for little ones to help them get used to it. Oserys laughed a little as he walked past her to go around the large tree, his head tilted back so he could stare up at the leaves growing so far above them.

He couldn't help but laugh as she tugged on his arm and pulled him in the direction of the water. "Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having the leaf decide where we go?" Oserys didn't mind though. Swimming seemed like a good idea. "And its not my fault you seemed to want to avoid the water." He walked along with her easily enough, he knew better than likely most that if she wanted to she could pick up up and carry him along. Something he'd rather avoid in the forest since there were sticks to hit him in the face.

"I could always ask a flower if you really know how to swim." He teased with a grin. They might lie about directions but maybe they'd tell the truth about her skills. He kind of liked that he could tease her back by questioning her on things.

He was amused that she seemed okay with only taking the general direction from the leaf now that he'd frustrated her a little. He wondered if that was how the flowers were able to lie to her before. Had she gotten frustrated with them and taken things into her own hands halfway through? Knowing that some flowers had a bite only made him think of her. She was pretty like a flower, certainly had the coloring to make her stand out like one, but she did have a bit of a bite. "Cute." He murmured under his breath.

When the reached the water he looked at it, glad there weren't any rapids. When she set her pack down and started to get ready to enter the waters he moved over to set his apple and leaf down. His shirts came off, as well as his shoes, but he left the rest on. Since he was in the company of a girl he wasn't going to remove anything else.

Seeing that she was testing the water with her foot he grinned before running at her. Oserys grabbed her around the waist and jumped into the water so that both of them went in at the same time. And that way he'd be able to hold her up if she truly couldn't swim. This was going to be fun.
