It's not technically summer yet, but do you think it's late enough in the season to start swimming? Pools are usually starting to open around this time of year, and those are outdoor pools anyways! I mean, since the one at the castle is inside it's not like it really matters what time of year you go swimming in it anyways, but still it feels weird when it's not summer.

[Esther totally misses the point here in favor of exclaiming:]

There is a pool in the castle?!

[dupable]

Yeah! You mean you haven't seen it yet?

[starhipped]

No, I haven't! I didn't think the castle was that big!

[dupable]

Yeah, it's a pretty big place. But don't worry, the pool is pretty easy to find! I could show you it if you wanted though?

[starhipped]

I'm not sure if .. swimming.. A-Ah, I mean, I don't really know how!

[is a bathing suit appropriate for a nun?]

[dupable]

You don't know how to swim? Well... there's a shallow end, and if I am going already I could probably try to teach you how to swim too, though in one session I probably couldn't teach you that much. I could at least teach you how to tread water.

[starhipped]

I just .. never learned! [She lived near water, but um. Nuns don't swim? The bath she took in the Empire was the deepest she'd been in!]

U-Um. You won't .. let me sink?

[dupable]

Of course not! We could even start off in the shallow end so you can stand up if you need to.

[thebutz]

What, one of the first things I did was go swimming! Are you weird??

[dupable]

What? No! I've been swimming in the pool before, I just haven't done it recently.

[thebutz]

Right but I mean it's inside, you could swim any time you want! You know?

[dupable]

Yeah, but it wasn't summer yet, so it seemed really weird to be swimming in it even if it was inside.

[thebutz]

Yeah but... Why... what difference does it make?!

[dupable]

It's just the principle of the matter.

[thebutz]

Man, you're just kind of out there, I mean you have a dog for a sister and you won't swim indoors in winter?

I think it's stupid to wonder if it's the right season to go swimming. In an indoor pool.

[dupable]

Maybe, but it doesn't feel right to go swimming when it's not summer.

[midget]

That just goes to show that you're still a child, I suppose.

[dupable]

You kind of are too in a way.

I know about a million different ways to kill you, you know! Most of them excruciatingly painful!

[dupable]

[ Laughing. It's clear how seriously he's taken her right now. ]

Okay, but that doesn't mean I'm not right.

[midget]

Do you have a death wish?

[rogueofheart]

[JOHN NO. STAY AWAY FROM WATER. IT'S BAD.

Which is to say, have some warning hisses from this end of the journal. It's pretty much all he's gonna get for now.]

[dupable]

[ Well that sure is strange, someone left their journal open for their cat? ]

... Hi?
