[Finishing off a piece of candy, Chiyo smiles happily as she turns on the camera of her laptop.]

Hi everyone! I'm finally out of the hospital and feeling much, much better. I really want to thank everyone who came to visit me. It made my stay there much more pleasant and helped my recovery go along smoothly. For everyone's kindness, I hope that I can do something special in return for all of you. Please, if there's anything that I can do for you, feel free to let me know!

[Clearly, she's not as shy as she usually is and is, instead, giddy. It's almost as if the whole ordeal she went through has made her into a more assertive person. She can't help but feel refreshed and overjoyed to finally be out of the hospital and back at Kraken Lake. Pausing a bit, she hums to herself softly as she looks around away from the camera for a moment before returning her attention to it.]

Has everyone been well? I hope no one else has been hurt while I was away and that nothing terrible has happened. I'm still a bit sore on my ribs, but I can't wait to go swimming again. Would anyone like to join me? I'm out by the lake, but we can always go to the swimming pool, too. I still haven't had the pleasure of swimming in it yet. 

Well, just let me know! Thanks for watching!

Hm. You were injured in the city?

...I will join you. I have not been swimming in some time. Perhaps the pool would be more amenable to your injury.

[This... this person. If Chiyo recalled correctly, his Weavile tried to train with her. Or so it claimed. She was fairly frightened then, having it been her first day on campus, so she wasn't particularly sure how to treat this person.

But hey, he seemed to like swimming, so maybe he wasn't all bad. His pokemon didn't actually hurt her either, so they could all possibly become good friends.

She smiled tentatively.]

Yes, though I'm fine now. Thank you for giving the pleasure of swimming with you. I look forward to it. I heard the pool had different depths to it, so I agree that it may be the best place to swim in my condition.

[whirlwind_wolfman]

I'll join you for a few laps about the lake, if you'd like. I've not been since last time we went swimming there.

[Switch to private message]

Anything I can bring you? I know you said you're feeling better, but if you've need of another potion, I've a few spare.

[lovesclearlakes]

Okay! That's great~ And thank you for your offer. I'm feeling wonderful, so I'll be all right. Don't worry, Jon.

But, hey. I have a different request for you. Have you ever swam as a human before? I'd really like to try one day. Would you mind helping me in case I need it? I know that human legs are different than canine legs, so... I'm sure that it might take a little getting used to, and I wouldn't want any accidents. But... if you're busy, I can try to find someone else to accompany me. Please let me know what you decide. Thanks again!

I've actually done more swimming as a man than as a wolf - I'd be happy to offer some pointers and show you how it's done. It IS a very different way of moving so you'd definitely want to have someone around while you're practising in case things start to go poorly.

[lovesclearlakes]

Yay! I look forward to learning from you, then. Where would be the best place to practice?

[whirlwind_wolfman]

For something like this, the pool would be safest. Should you run into troubles or get tired, it's a much smaller matter to retrieve you from the pool than the center of a lake. And the water is only relatively shallow too, so, yiur feet can find purchase to stand in most places. As a Human, the chlorine smell shouldn't be quite so rank, either.

[lovesclearlakes]

That's true. It wouldn't be too good if I suddenly sunk to the bottom of the lake.

Mmm, do you think we could go now? Oh but, I would need to have something called a swimming suit, right?

[jonny_talbain]

Aye, yes - a bathing suit is required when swimming as a Human. For you, you'll need something to cover... ah... both the top and the bottom. If you've nothing like that then a dark colored T'shirt and some shorts ought to suffice.

[lovesclearlakes]

Oh, I've got those! All right, so when I'm feeling all better, we can go? [She's clearly very eager.] I'll be ready anytime!

[jonny_talbain]

Whenever you're feeling up to it let me know and I'll make time to come and do this with you. At your earliest convenience.

[luneshalla]

Swimming! I could use a nice dip and a few laps! But maybe you could also take a moment to yourself and relax? A bit of pampering could do wonders for continued recovery and it soothes the spirits and your inner self.

I hear there's some hot springs around you should check out, just let me know if you'd like company sweethear and I'm really happy to see you out and about.

Vidya for ya~

[lovesclearlakes]

Hot springs? I'd love to see them! I didn't go on the hot springs trip last time with everyone, so I'd really like to go to one with you. I hear they can be very relaxing, too. Would you have time to go with me soon? I'll try not to agitate my wounds when going into the water. I promise. [She smiled at her confidently.]

Woot! Cutie on screen! *^*

[luneshalla]

[Ellistree chuckled.]

Well whenever you're free I can take you there sweetheart. And since I'll be with you, you won't have to worry. I'll take good care of you and should anything happen I can heal you as well.

You deserve having a good time and having fun.

My bestie! ^o^

[lovesclearlakes]

[Chiyo tittered at that.]

I'm glad! We haven't had many chances to have fun together yet, so I really look super forward to this! I always have free time, so let's try going one of these days. Maybe even on the weekend. What do you think?

She loves her some Chiyo <3 she's too adorbs!

[luneshalla]

The weekend huh? That would actually work perfectly. Maybe we could have a camping outting. Go at the end of the weekday, hike up to the location and set up camp. That way we can enjoy the hot springs and some time outdoors for that weekend.

Unless of course you only want to go up for one night, which is fine as well.

[lovesclearlakes]

A weekend sounds great! Even better than what I hoped for. It'll be my first camping trip since I came here. Can we... Do you think we can make s'mores? I've always wanted to try them.

We can also even go stargazing! Wouldn't that be fun?

[luneshalla]

[Elli chuckles and smiles warmly at Chiyo.]

S'mores sounds delightful. I'll make sure to bring lots so we can eat however many you'd like over the weekend.

And I would love nothing more than to stargaze with you sweetheart. I do love the night sky, specially the moon.

[lovesclearlakes]

Hmmm, so would I need to bring anything? We need to get lots of stuff, right? A sleeping bag and other food and drinks... or! We could sleep in our original forms out in the open. We might be warmer that way and we could snuggle.

[luneshalla]

Only things we'd need to buy would be the materials for the s'mores. Everything else, nature provides~

I want to draw this trip in all sorts of ways. XD

[lovesclearlakes]

Hehe, okay! Can't wait! Let's go soon, okay?

I'm really eager! And I'd love to see draws of it <3 <3

[luneshalla]

Hm, sure! How about the beginnings of July, or half way? Should be at the peak of Summer and it'll be when the season is at it's best~ Perfect weather for nice and exciting trips and cooling, refreshing nights.
