Swishing [open]

"Sorry, don't fall asleep and I won't" she said with a wink. "Basil is good a sudden departures..." she said vaguely, not really wanting to know the reason why the girl had left so quickly. "Everything okay Dawn?" she asked curiously, seeing that the girl had become quieter. Her glance shot back to Pumpkin, "The lake? Sure, why not?"

"Really?!" She jerked up and slammed her knee against the underside of the table. Yelping in pain, she hurriedly doubled over and smashed her head against the table, whining she fell of the bench and curled up on the floor. "As long as I can chase acorns..."

"Everything is fine, thank you Lily," she said in a friendly but guarded voice. After all, she didn't know if she could trust anyone just yet. "I'm just fine with the lake." She paused, looking around and was suddenly desperate to get out of the stifling heat of the candles. "Let's go, shall we?"

Lily stood, "If we can all walk, let's go." she said with a laugh, before heading off. She paused in the doorway, waiting for the two other girls.

She almost ran to the doorway, but quickly slackened her pace into something more normal-looking. She really needed some fresh air.

Cheering excitedly, Pumpkin speed out of the hall and down towards the lake throwing off her robe at the same time. "Last one there is a rotten egg!!" She shouted over her shoulder.

Lily laughed, quickly following the pair out of the hall, grinning from ear to ear.
