(LK)Lazily walking

[Helia Ollivander]

Helia walked down to the lake. Still being cautious from her last experience here, she walked quite a bit away from the water itself. She wandered over to a weeping willow tree and climbed into its branches. Finding a sturdy one she laid back on it, staring up at the sky through the leaves,sighing happily...

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace loved to walk by the lake, the images follow in her mind like the water from the sky one a rainy day. She looked asross the lake to the opposite side of the lake where something had cough her eye. There was a beautiful willow and a leg dissappeared up it. As Grace walked in the direction of the tree, she thought that people liked to do that a lot, dissapear up trees and stuff. She got to the willow and sat down on the beach in the shade of the tree.
She looked out over the lake and asked almost to the water, "how's the view from up there?"

[Helia Ollivander]

She smirked, "Safer than the one down there, I assure you." She chuckled and rolled over so she could her anonymous critic. "I'm Halo by the way," she reached down a hand through the branches.

[Prof Grace Marks]

Grace turned around, auban hair swished, and clasped the hand firmly, "Grace, nice to meet you!" She looked at the dark waters, "so why would it be safer up there, Halo?"

[Helia Ollivander]

"Oh, let's just say the squid I, we don't get along so well. I thought he wanted to be friends, but then he swallowed me. Now I stay away from him as much as possible." she nodded. "So be careful if you intend on swimming."

[Prof Grace Marks]

"I'm not much for swimming," Grace said matter of factly, " not even bathing, i mean i prefer showering! AND hate seafood! YUK!!"

[Helia Ollivander]

She laughed, "I like eating seafood. I think I may enjoy calamari even more now though." she smirked. "Anyways, so what brings you down to the lake today?"

[Prof Grace Marks]

"I'm searching of a plot in the sand," Grace replied, running one hand over the sand next to her.

[Helia Ollivander]

"A what?!" she asked both confused and curious. "What is a plot in the sand?"

[Prof Grace Marks]

"A plot for my stories," Grace explained, "see I'm a writer, just like my mum was, and storylines are hard to come by, so I come for walks here for inspiration! How bout you?"

[Helia Ollivander]

"I come here when I need to calm down, or think stuff through. It's a very calming place... save for the squid, but I suppose stuff like that is always happening." she hung upside down from a tree limb and began swinging back and forth, "So what kind of stories do you write?"

[Prof Grace Marks]

"Agh! Fantacy, mainly! Like once there was this one about a guy who was the future in a pond. He didn't know how to tell his mother that she was going to died. It's quite an interesting one, slightly more meloncholy then usual, but Sooky liked it."

[Helia Ollivander]

"Sounds interesting. But who's Sooky?" she asked, a bit perplexed.

[Prof Grace Marks]

"Sooky is my godmother," she gazed up the tree at Halo, "she's always there, Father is an important man in the muggleworld and he's never at home," she looked into the trees on the opposite bank. "After mother died father became more involved in his work then ever and Sooky was the only one there!" Damn! Could I sound any more morbid? Grace thought.

"So," said Grace, "have you come here to calm down or to think?"

[Helia Ollivander]

"Mostly just because I'm bored. I was trying to decide if I wanted to break my behaving streak and prank someone, or if I wanted to continue being a model student and go see if any of the teachers need help." she shrugged, "Right now I'm leaning toward the prank."
