Koi Pond
The dirt path worn smooth by the passage of many feet weaves in and out of tall, shady trees before coming to an abrupt halt at the edge of a sheer cliff. The steep rock face falls nearly a dragonslength before disappearing below the surface of the small pond tucked at its base where it continues down, making it safe for the daring of heart to attempt the jump. Trees line the cliff top, which dips and rises to offer views from various heights, and several ropeshave been tied to high branches for any who want to swing out over the sparkling water. A narrow path leads down one side of the cliff to a small rocky beach, and the opposite hillside boasts what could be a smooth, steep path, save that it leads directly to a drop-off several feet above the water. Above the path is a bucket attached to a convenient tree by a pulley - all the necessary ingredients of a mud-slide. The wind often whistles through the small valley formed by the hillside and cliff-face to join the laughter of the pond's visitors in ringing across the water's surface.
It is an autumn midmorning.
Hidden in a tree is Rikan.
Iyanden is here.

Iyanden wanders out onto the grass his bare feet letting the grass flow between them. He breaths in the air and takes a silent glance at where he and Laurel had sat.

Neliar quickly strips down to his undergarments before taken a running leap into the pond. *SPLASH*

Iyanden takes his time as he puts his towel down and then just jumps in. Splash, glug, splutter. "This is nice at least."

Neliar shivers slightly in the cold water, not too cold but enough to encourage him to swim about. "Yeah, I love coming here." eyes unfocusing as he remembers time spent here. "The last time I was here the girls tried to run off with my clothes." he adds giggling at the memory.

Iyanden bursts out laughing. "Oh you are a fool sometimes Nellie." He takes a few dives and eventually drowns his laughter. "You are so silly!"

Espero glides in from the StarCraft Courtyard.

Neliar drops under the water laughing so much, when he resurfaces he spits out a mouthful of water. Yuck! "I know, I shouldn't trust them should I?" that's him though trusting Neli. Still he didn't expect them to try and run off with his clothes.

Iyanden laughs a little and does a few widths of the pond. "I know you shouldn't but I would trust Laurel not too, can you trust Shanel not to do that to you?"

Neliar grins, "erm, no it was her who picked them up." he can't help but grin at the memory of it. "Not that I minded too much, but it was rather cold on the way back home!"

Iyanden laughs a few times. "She probably just wanted to see you naked before she made any desisions." Another sly wink.

Neliar looks offened. "i had my underclothes on!" he would not want to subject Shanel to /that/ sight just yet!

Iyanden chuckles. "I would show her if I were you, i am sure she would be impressed?"

Neliar grins at Iyan. "I'm not sure I'm quite ready for that, she is my /first/ girlfriend you know!" He's not confident with women like Iyan is, so he's quite happy just to take things slowly for now. He hopes she'd be impressed but he's not too sure.

Iyanden isn't confident he is just too stupid to stop. "Well whatever Nellie you go at your own pace, I am gonna take it so slow with laurel. Makes a difference from my usual techniques."

Neliar smiles at Iyan. "I kinda get the impression from Laurel that she's not had /too/ many boyfriends so slow is probably best." At least if Iyan doesn't want to scare her away.

Iyanden definately doesnot want that. "I will have to go be real slow then and dead romantic!"

Neliar smiles. "I'm sure that will work with Laurel, that's what she needs someone to show an interest in her." Yes that'll probably get him his girl.

Iyanden smiles and dives again. "She is worth it though and we both were giving each other a good look over last time we were here." He points to the spot were they sat on the bank of the pond.

Neliar follows Iyan's finger looking at the stop, "Hey that's where I left my clothes." Isn't that strange. "I've gto some great memories fromthis place." Hey maybe you should invite Laurel down and I'll ask Shanel." Yeah that could be fun!

Iyanden nods. "Good idea if I ever see Laurel again!"

Neliar swims over to the egde of the pond and gets out, he's skin slightly blue. He quickly grabs his towel and begins drying himself. "I'm sure you'll see her soon." After all the Hall isn't that bigger place, she can't hide forever.

Iyanden dives under one last time and follows. "Suppose so but I wish she would hurry up!"

The now dry Neliar shrugws his clothes back on quickly his skin still tingling from the rather brisk rbbbing it just recieved. "Oh shards, I forgot I'm supposed to be cleaning the vault today." This thought makes him hurry back to the hall. "Catch you later." he calls as he's running away.
