Closed Doggy Paddle

[Amodeus Jones]

Amodeus wasn't sure this was going very well. After about an hour of... somewhat questionable progress, he was sitting in the shallows of the ocean, Marley splashing around nearby. She was doing... something, probably, but he was busy watching how the silt was squishing between his toes, feeling the warm sun on his skin and the water dripping from his hair. "You must really like living by the ocean," He told her absently, enjoying the gentle lapping of the waves against him.

samantha was in fact not here, she was back at home...

 

[Marley Owens-Lee]

Marley had enjoyed the wee break from Hogwarts, though she did miss Hogwarts a little bit when she was away for the break, though she wouldn't admit it if she was being honest. Marley had invited Deus over during the break to hang out for a bit. She had suggested teaching him to swim, but after trying to teach him for the past hour, she had just given up and decided maybe they'd just hang in the water for a bit. The Hufflepuff had swum in the ocean for a while, splashing around a little amongst other things she did in the water. Marley chuckled and nodded. "I do, it's really peaceful to be honest. I like it"

 

[Amodeus Jones]

Amodeus smiled, and crawled in the water, floating a bit and doggy paddling out towards her. "I bet- this is really fun-" He started, but his head fell underwater. He poked up again quickly, spitting out the ocean water and laughing. "Sorry, forgot to paddle," He chuckled, paddling closer to Marley. "Do you go swimming a lot?" He asked a little slower, focusing hard on talking and paddling at the same time.

 

[Marley Owens-Lee]

Marley quickly stood up in worry from where she was as she watched Amodeus' head fall underwater. "Are you okay?" Marley asked him worriedly, though he seemed completely fine when he laughed, so she probably was worried about nothing at this point. She shook her head with a chuckle. "Oh yeah! I swim a lot during the breaks. The beach here is always nice to swim in"

 

[Amodeus Jones]

Amodeus nodded, regretting it as it dipped his head into the water just enough to get it up his nose. He snorted, wiggling his nose a bit to clear it, and offered a smile to Marley. "That's why you're so good at this," He laughed, doggy paddling around her. "You're a regular beach person! What do you call regular beach people? Beeple?" He mused, humming as the thought ran through his head.
