Oh hey, it's pool time, eh? (Open)
It was a beautiful August afternoon. Almost disgustingly gorgeous, actually. The humidity had finally fallen to an acceptable level and it was showing up as a very lovely 80 Fahrenheit (27 Celsius to Kayla, it would always be 27 Celsius). It was beautiful and safe ... it'd probably be awhile before Kayla felt like going camping again. Nobody had been hurt too badly, but it'd still been an awful mess, and Rose hadn't really been the same after it.
It was perfect weather for a dip in the lake. Not too hot, not too cold, no real wind. And it was also an absolutely perfect opportunity to take her new swimsuit on a trial run.
Kayla had always loved water, since she was a little kid. She remembered her father always joking that she should have been born a dolphin or something. She'd never have made a swim team in any significant way, but swimming had come naturally to her- but even more so, just the feeling of being in cool water, floating, treading water, even just standing in it.
If other people joined her, that was awesome, but she didn't mind being alone either. Like a complete goon, she started running down the pier and jumped into the water.

"Aye, that was fun! I am a bit exhausted, however... I never used my powers like that before!" He said with pride. "It felt good to swim again."

She smiled over at Dolemeck. "Awesome pawsome. You should do it on a regular basis while the weather's good. Water's amazing."

Pressure? What? Noooo. Just gotta remember to not be uptight the way that Ms. Frost claims Husk used to be.
"Water aerobics and things are supposed to be good, I think," Topher added. "Maybe one of the instructors can help guide you in something like that."

He then looked over at Topher, giving him a bit of a sad smile.
"Water aerobics and aquatic therapy are for muscle strengthening. My legs are strong enough, but my brain just does not connect that they are apart of me. I mean, I can feel them and all. I just cannot control them without aide."
There were no sad feelings, no anger. It was just like he was stating a fact.
"Without those leg braces I could not even walk. They would just buckle out from under me or my knees might bend the wrong way."
He went back to floating around the two, looking a bit exhausted, but still jovial.
"I... may need some assistance getting back to the mansion, come to think of it. If I put the braces on while soaked like this, I could damage them or slip as I walk. Would either one of you mind helping a bloke out?"

Kayla nodded at Dolemeck. "Lean on me, bro. We'll get ya home."
