Well, batten down your, um, expectations, because I'm still a... a green ear? A buccaneer?

--I'm new at this.

[infreefall]

[ giggling: ]

That's okay. It's not like I've got the experience to judge.

[showyourself]

Whew. Then you'll have no idea when I mess up. [the idea makes her laugh, a little. and honestly, it's kind of freeing??

she unropes from the dock, and pushes off.]

[infreefall]

Only if you capsize the whole boat.

[ . . . ]

Let's try not to capsize it? I don't want to get seawater in my bandages again.

[showyourself]

That, at least, I can definitely do. No more sea water bandages. Only relaxing pleasure cruises.

[she's! figuring stuff out! They're sailing, through. hooray!]

[infreefall]

[ no complaints here! it feels like a smooth enough ride to ochako. ]

Sora-kun must've taught you pretty well, huh? Is there anything I can help with? Sailing can't be that easy to do on your own.

[showyourself]

I think that... with a boat this size, it's okay.

But if you want, you can man the rudder! That points us wherever we need to go.

[infreefall]

Okay!

[ she'll go seat herself by the rudder, then! ]

How far out can we go, anyway? Isn't the barrier still up?

[showyourself]

It is, unfortunately. But I'm not sure where we'd go if it was down...

Still, we can get out a fair way. Wanna see how far?

[infreefall]

[ she lights up. ]

Absolutely! They can lock us in the Realm, but they can't take away our sense of adventure!

[showyourself]

Onwards, then. To... adventure, I guess.

[ochako, like all younger sister-esque people she knows, fills her with a kind of excitement that she doesn't generate a lot of on her own.]

[infreefall]

[ well, at least that makes ochako laugh! ]

Don't get too excited, Elsa-san!

[showyourself]

[she's!! trying!!!]

Okay, hold on... [she stands up, boat rocking slightly.] --To adventure!

[infreefall]

[ she's still giggling. ]

You're really not the excitable type, are you?

[showyourself]

What? I'm very excited. I'm... um. Enthused!

[infreefall]

[ she just starts laughing again i'm sorry ]

[showyourself]

[AAAAAAAAA]

Okay, help me out, here.

How can I seem more... into it? Teach me.

[infreefall]

You're just supposed to relax, and have fun!

[showyourself]

I am!

[infreefall]

Then as long as you're having fun, you don't have to be as into it as anyone else! I appreciate you trying, though.

[showyourself]

And I appreciate you appreciating me.

[she giggles, and sits back down, fiddling with the sail.]

See anything interesting under the water?

[infreefall]

[ after leaning over the edge a little to take a look, ochako gasps! ]

There are dolphins further out!

[showyourself]

[securing the sails, elsa twists in the direction ochako's looking, smiling widely.]

Look at that.

They're just out there playing.

[infreefall]

I've never seen them before! [ she looks absolutely delighted. ] Have you, Elsa-san? They look like they're having so much fun!

[showyourself]

No, I haven't. They... don't come that far North.

[she's clearly delighted, now. and her energy level is about the same as before. she's just not that ott......]
