Fine by me; I do actually want to see you in a swimsuit.

[dancingmd]

Let's put away our stuff then and get dressed!

[Without further ado, she'll lead Lucretia up to the tent where they can deposit their things and get ready for a nice dip in the lake. The tent is big enough that they can stand up in it, but there's really no hiding the swimsuit for a big reveal. It's a green off-the-shoulder one-piece: modest but with a hint of allure. Very Beverly, in other words.

She strikes a pose for Lucretia's benefit.]

What do you think?

[scholiast]

(Lucretia brightens, suitably impressed.)

It's beautiful! (She really likes Beverly's eye for colour! She dresses in such soothing, muted pallets. She's in the middle of changing into the top of her simple two piece; once it's on, she stops changing to better appreciate the swimsuit, the way it drapes off her shoulder.)

You look amazing.

[dancingmd]

Thank you!

(She playfully tickles Lucretia's exposed stomach.)

So do you.

[scholiast]

(All attempts to guard herself from the impending attack fail, and she chuckles, elbowing Beverly good-naturedly.)

Thank you. I've been looking forward to this. Relaxing always seems to fall by the wayside on my to-do lists.

[dancingmd]

That's what I'm here for!

(It does seem like half her job ends up telling people that they're too stressed and they need to relax.)

[scholiast]

You're here for much more than that, (Lucretia chides, and tips her head to give her a grateful kiss,) but thank you. You're very good at taking care of me.

[dancingmd]

I do what I can. (She says, as if this is some sort of great burden when in fact, she loves nothing more than taking care of Lucretia - and being taken care of by her too.

She moves to unzip the front tent flap.)

Are you ready to head down to the water?

[scholiast]

Yes, (she says wistfully, already imagining the water– presumably Beverly has ways of making it the perfect temperature, too, to coincide with how lovely the environment is.

Can holograms give you sunburn? She still dons a wide brimmed, white floppy sunhat all the same.)

Have I told you much about my home planet?

[dancingmd]

(Absolutely, the water can be whatever temperature they want it to be - and the hat is very cute, she should leave it, in Beverly's humble opinion.)

Not too much, no.

(She always just assumed it was hard to talk about it. It was that way sometimes for her with Arvada.)

[scholiast]

(there's also no information about it at all, thanks for nothing griffin mcelroy)

It had two suns, (Lucretia supplies idly, shrugging a shoulder as they approach the water's edge.) The summers were incredible. Very hot. We lived near a very prominent beach, and I used to spend weeks down by the shore reading.

[dancingmd]

(Two suns, like Risa, the pleasure planet. She makes note of that for the next holodeck program to try.)

You like the beach a lot, don't you?

[scholiast]

Yes, (Lucretia says innocently, and sticks a toe into the water customarily before she wades in up to her knees.)

Who doesn't?

[dancingmd]

Oh, I'm sure I could think of a few who don't.

(Worf comes immediately to mind and she has to smile at the image of him voluntarily going to the beach.)

How's the temperature? I can adjust it if we need to.

[scholiast]

Good thing they aren't here, then.

(Or intruding on #beach time! Lucretia lets her hands trail in the surf, then pushes out further, up to her hips.)

No, it's perfect. (Sun-warmed at the top, deliciously cool where her toes scrunch into the sandbank. She sighs happily, then pushes off the ground to swim properly, keeping her head (and hat!) above the water.)

[dancingmd]

(Beverly comes to stand at the edge of the lake and lets the water lap at her toes. Seeing Lucretia so contented brings her no end of joy and for a moment, all she does is watch Lucretia swim out where the water gets deeper. She looks absolutely beautiful in the sunlight.)

[scholiast]

(This is a very, very different mood from being down in the caves to be sure. For a moment she simply floats up on her back and closes her eyes, arms and legs spread akimbo to let the waves gently rock her about. Her hat is getting wet but that's okay. She feels so relaxed.)

Are you coming in? (She calls eventually, eyes still shut. She can feel Beverly watching her from the shore!)

[dancingmd]

Oh but the view is just so good from here!

(Even as she says that, however, she's wading further into the water. When the water gets to hip-level, she stops and slowly drops down into the water until only her head and the tops of her shoulders are uncovered.)
