Subject: an improvement over last time anyway..

Saras wanted to pout when Jeremy got up to go in the hot spring. He didn’t really like the water, but he disliked being alone absolutely more then anything else, so after a moment of sitting by himself, his hands wrapped around a mug, he looked over at the pool where the others were and after deliberating over whether he wanted to sit alone, or sit in the water, he decided to join them. At least it didn’t look like it was very deep. His not knowing how to swim, and fear of the water made him hesitate a moment before he pulled his hair up with the glittery red sash he’d been wearing. He remembered how long it had taken the long thick hair to dry and didn’t want it getting wet, if he could prevent it. He had thought himself looking something of a drowned rat after the time Rowan had thrown him in…


By the time he made it to the side of the pool, his bravery had evaporated. Hesitating somewhat, just for a moment, he kicked his sandals off. He took a moment to roll up his pantlegs and set himself down, letting his feet dangle in the water, instead of immersing himself as the others were. He felt a bit left out, and a touch lonely, but he really didn’t want to get wet again. At least, not until he was fully comfortable in the water… He didn’t want to replace one discomfort with another, but found that he was ok with just his legs being wet, as long as the rest of him was sitting firmly on the side…


Just being near the people he considered his friends, helped immensely with his feeling lonely, although he would have much preferred to curl up with his head in someone’s lap and their arms around him.. He smiled at the thought, but knew that these humans didn’t tend to be the touchy feely types, and although that rather disappointed him, he couldn’t fault it, even if it did make it difficult sometimes. He was just going tohave to try better to understand. At least, he wasn't apt to burst into tears at each and every rejection. Saras smiled at how warm the water was. It wasn't HOT like fire, but it made his sore feet relax, and the foot which he had cut-up from running barefoot earlier was feeling better, once it was immersed in the hot water.
