Adult Swim [ action / dicated ]
[ooc: No, he is not a peacock, but it was the only icon with the appropriate face, lol ]
[ Vanyel stared dubiuosly at the pool of seemingly quiet water, clear as glass so he could see the bottom of even smoother rock. Was rock supposed to be that smooth? It was just water, but the whole structure of the thing fascinated him - rails and steps and seemingly no point of entry for the water itself. He had been in natural springs before as big - the Taleydras adored them for their bathing - but this was a recreational sort of thing he had come to find out. It just seemed... odd. Not to mention it did not have the smell of a hot spring, nor the somewhat murky look to it.
But he was willing to give it a try, and a dip did sound nice with the warm weather of the summer.
He had asked the Castle for appropriate swim wear, and it had given him odd, knee-length trousers colored blue and silver, and nothing else. Thankfully, Vanyel was not terribly shy about the half-naked thing, considering the Taleydras could also be social bathers - a sort of group, community thing were one talked and relaxed after a hard day.
Finally, decided that staring at it would do him no good, he went to the steps and held the railing, slipping in and shivering as the cold hit him, though it was not unwelcome. Once he was in up to his knees, he bent and dove, enjoying the refreshing nature of it, blinking his eyes... oh... oh...!
He came up, spluttering, his journal on a nearby chair and delightfully open so people could hear him coughing.]
Havens, that burns! What sort of water is this?
[You might also be privy to him spitting out the chemically cleansed water, which tasted worse than the spring water ever had with its slightly sulfurous smell.]
Why would one ever want to swim in this?!
[Ah, the joys of a modern pool.]
