ψ come away little lass come away to the water | SWIMMING MINGLE OTA
WHO: E V E R Y O N E
WHERE: The waterfall
WHEN: During the hot weather in late May
OPEN TO: Anyone
WARNINGS: PROBABLY NAKED. cw your warnings in individual threads.
STATUS: Open. THIS IS A MINGLE, have at it, tag around, you know what to do. If you want Finnick, let me know in the comment subject!
He wouldn't actually say it was really hot yet, but it's definitely getting to the sort of temperatures that make Finnick miss swimming. There's no substitute for the sand of a beach underfoot, the reassuring roar of the surf, the taste of salt in the air, but there is at least water here, tumbling down from the waterfall and flowing through the canyon until it disappears into the rocks to the south. And he knows from constantly checking his fish traps that the water is deliciously cool.
He's tested out a few spots along the river for swimming, and it's good to be in the water again, after being kept out of it for so long by the harshness of the winter. Not swimming doesn't feel right to him, and it never has. He's never spent this long somewhere with a winter this cold, and he can't remember ever going this long without swimming. So Finnick's been testing the water out since before it was probably what most people would consider to be warm enough to swim. It had helped that he and Annie had some gifts to hunt for in the river, but those have long been found, and now it's just for relaxation.
The calmest, most relaxing place he's found so far for swimming in the river is the pool at the foot of the waterfall, where the water plunges into the canyon crisp and cool from the heights of the cliffs. It's deep around the falls, and it's big enough to swim, and Finnick spends most of the hottest parts of the day there.
So whenever he hears someone talking about the heat while he's dropping food off in the village, he suggests they try the waterfall pool. Word's likely to get around, so he won't be entirely surprised to find other people stopping by the falls.
When they do, they're likely to find him swimming around the deep part near the falls, stripped down to his underwear and, from the grin on his face, having the time of his life. It's clear just from looking at him that he's good at this, moving through the water with a confidence and grace more like to a sea-creature than a man. He's in such a good mood that he even calls out to greet many of the people who approach.
Of course, he's not the guardian of the waterfall: everyone's welcome to stop by whether he's there or not. Once or twice, there's even a moose to be seen standing at the edge of the pool taking a long, relaxing drink.

Like real friends do.
"It is important and it does but there are things I need to do before that." Like being Jean's friend. That was important too.

That could only be a good thing.
"Well, one day we'll be actual adults with responsibilities but right now, I guess, we're still in between. We're too old to be teenagers but we're not old enough to be responsible - at least not compared to other people."
no subject
She lifted her shoulders in a shrug. "On my island we'd be adults. There is no in between." That awkward in between was something that Moana didn't really understand. There were many in the village that treated her like a child when she was about to take over the village for her father.

"You have to watch your friends get hurt, get killed. It makes you grow up fast."
no subject
"I thought it'd be a good thing. It means that you're really good at something."

"People tend to be afraid of what they don't understand and people don't like what they're afraid of," Jean said, shrugging a little.
"People think we're dangerous. Think about it - I can read people's minds. I can make them do things they wouldn't normally do. Would I? Never. I would never, ever do something like that. But the average person who doesn't have a defense against that just has to take my word for it. A lot of people don't trust easily, especially when it comes to someone who is way more powerful than them. Humans, mostly, fear us and hate us."
no subject
"I know I'm just one person but I'm not afraid of you."
no subject
"It means a lot to me," Jean said, smiling a little in pure relief. She had never really had a close friend, much less one that was human, so Moana was unique on both accounts.
"I wish more people looked at it the way you do. We wouldn't have so much violence and hate in the world if they did."
no subject
"Until then, we should swim." Moana smiled, hoping to add some levity back into the conversation.
