She froze instantly when he put his hands on her shoulders. Blinkblink. Well... Papina has to admit he really didn't look that bothered. It was just that she normally sees people going around clothed so...
The hurt leaf on her head instantly curled up on itself when his hand reached up to pet Papina's hair. It really didn't want to be touched right now, or anytime soon for that matter. She blinked at him, unable to really do anything else as he went on.
Oooo... Could he please put his shorts back on? Before my eyes travel down... Her eyes did a quick flick down first to herself, then him before leaping back up to his face, her cheeks burning scarlet as she inwardly chided herself for looking. ... there? Nothing like wanting to crawl under a rock at the most awkward time.
They were both nude and standing close to one another...
Her mother was going to kill her as soon as... Papina found herself blinking again as her thoughts were intrupted. Lunch sounded good, but... A bikini? Her?
...
Did she dare ask what a bikini was?

Cordain looked down at Papina and gave a laught as he reached over and slipped his shorts back on, "Is this better papina?" he inquired. He then looked over to where he came and gently removed his hand from papina's head.
"Do you have any swimming appropriate garments?" He asked after a moment of thought.

Her blush deepened for a moment before it abated to a light dusting of red. She blinked and tilted her head at his question, pondering. She didn't have any outright swimming suits since she hated to go into deep water, but she didn't know if any of her other clothes could be used as swim-wear. She finally shook her head to indicate a no and ducked her head to hide another blush. Not like it mattered, since there was no way she was getting into any more large areas of water unless she really, really, really had to. She lifted one root-like hand and stared at it, as if she could tell it to not absorb tons of water.

Cordain gave her a smile as she looked at her hands, "Okay then...I know what to do...We can go and wrap your hands and feet...cover them so they won't get wet...will that work for you?" He smiled at her a bit more, "And...I could lend you a pair of Halcyon's shorts and a t-shirt to swim in, or a tank top."

She blinked at his novel idea. Wrap her hands and feet so they wouldn't get wet? Why didn't she think of that! She managed a more natural grin for him, happy at his idea. She simply nodded at what he said she could wear - it wasn't like she had any clue what to wear while swimming.
Speaking of wearing... she glanced at herself again. Nude, with dirt covering her legs where they had been buried. Perhaps she should dust that off before she went in? She absently balanced on one leg as she lifted the other to gently rub at it - they still hurt from being wrenched from the ground like that and she wasn't as distracted anymore not to notice.

Cordain motioned for Papina to follow and gave her a grin, "Or you could swim naked..." he chuckled and gave her a wink before he moved off to join Halcyon briefly at the pool before he went inside. It wasn't long before he returned with swimming trunks and a tank top for Papina to dress in, as well as some plastic wrap and wrist belts.

She twitched at the notion of swimming naked but followed after. No nude swimming for her, thankyouverymuch. She stood by the pool with Halcyon as Cordain went to get some things for her, blushing as she tried hard not to follow the instinct to cover herself. She quickly picked up and put on the tank top and trunks when Cordain came back, and looked at him with questioning eyes as she wondered how he would make her arms and legs water-proof. Her green skin, the plant parts, could handle the water fine, it was the white skin, the root parts, that she was worried about.

Cordain set about wrapping her hands and feet in the plastic wrap and then binding down the ends with the small belts so they stayed closed, "Not too heavy I hope..." he then splashes a little water on her hands, "water getting through?"

She wiggled her fingers experimently as they were wrapped up. It felt a little stifling, but it wasn't like she breathed through them. She jerked instinctively when Cordain splashed water on the wrapped roots, but she soon went still and blinked at them as she slowly turned them, then shook them. Nope, no water was getting through. She grinned at Cordain, her eyes sparkling. Water wasn't getting through!

Cordain and Halcyon both smiled at her, "We'll go slowly...the moment you feel wet where you shouldn't get out or let me know and we'll get you out..." Cordain grinned widely, "We'll also find a better, easier means that you can use anywhere you want to go swimming in the future too."
Halcyon slipped back into the water on his own and half swam, half splashed his way to the center of the pool, apparently crystal boys can float. Cordain on the other hand just got into the shallow end and held a hand out to Papina.

She carefully tread after Cordain to one end of the pool, eyeing the water all the way. She gulped nervously before she reached her hand out for Cordain to take. Even wrapped up, it was going to take a bit for her to get over her fear of water. She moved one foot towards the edge and delicately, cautiously, slid it into the water, keeping the other on dry land.

Cordain was slow, careful, easing her into the water at her own pace, "I don't mind teaching you how to swim since I'm guessing you don't know how to Papina..." he smiled at her as he held her hand.
Halcyon worked on his water treading in the deeper end as he watched with a faint smile upon his lips.

One foot in. Now the other. She slowly lifted her other foot and settled it into the water besdie the first. This was okay. This was fine. Only the tight grip she had on Cordain's hand showed just how terrified she was as she slowly moved deeper into the pool. She was finally up to the point were the wrappings ended and she slowly moved forward, ready to bolt if the water came in from the top. But the belts held and her roots stayed dry. She finally eased in to the point where she was up to her waist in water and paused, attempting to get used to this.

He stood there, holding her hands and smiled at her, "You know, there are plants that spend their entire lives underwater..." he grinned afterwards as he gave her hands a light, reassuring squeeze.

She opened her mouth to reply, but a croak was the only thing that came out. She closed her mouth, swallowed, and tried again. "Yeah, but I'm not one of them." That said, she still started to move forward again, even slower this time. If her knuckles weren't already white to start with, they would be white now, she was holding onto his hand so tight. She really didn't want to slip and go under. Bad enough her roots were underwater, they were wrapped up so water couldn't reach them. She did not want her face to go underwater. She just didn't want her face to get wet, period. The leaves on top of her head trembled, and continued to tremble.
