The Beach, Saturday

[takesaftermom.livejournal.com]

Summer had gone for a run on around the island and ended up on the beach (which really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone). Deciding she didn't need to be anywhere for a while, Summer went through some cool down stretches and then plopped down on the sand.

She watched the waves crash against the sand, finding the motion and sound soothing. Hmm, she considered run back to her apartment to grab and bathing suit and towel to lay out in the sun. Maybe in a little while. For now, Summer was content just sitting there.

Unfortunately, the soothing sounds of the ocean were about to be interrupted by a man having a debate with his hamster.

"I really don't understand what the big deal is, Boo," Minsc was saying to the rodent in his hand as he, still in full armour, strode down the beach. "I mean, you can't even swim, and you're a hamster. What do you need swim trunks for? We'll get them, and then it'll be fall and too cold to wear them anyway, and you know how you eat in the winter. Come summer again, you'll be too fat!"

Pause.

"Yes, I know you go into slight hibernation and have to cushion up, but still. It's not like there's buried treasure right off the shore, anyway. You have to go away out for that, and you don't like boats, remember?"

There was no way Summer could have missed overhearing the debate going on between man and hamster.

Summer didn't know whether to frown or laugh at what she was hearing. "Every thing all right Sir Minsc?" She called out, adding a wave to her inquiry. She hoped she wasn't being rude by interrupting them.

"Oh!" Minsc looked up from the speech he was just about to deliver about a Speedo being completely out of the question, smiling a little, and giving a wave back. Thankfully with the hand not holding the hamster.

"Good day, Lady Summer! I did not see you there! So much for being an astute and aware gentleman!" He chuckled. "But I was distracted. Boo, it seems, would like to go swimming today, but, alas, he cannot swim. Not in anything deeper than a punch bowl, anyway."

"It's all right," Summer smiled, brushing it off with shake of her head. "Oh, that's too bad, Boo," she added, her smile turning into a frown. "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Nothing short of hamster swimming lessons, I assume," Minsc said, a bit wryly, especially for Minsc. "But we should not trouble you with such things. Instead, we will trouble you to ask how you are, Lady Summer! Did your class go well?"

Summer smirked, finding the image of Boo swimming amusing. "Well, I suppose that could work."

She shook her head. "You're not troubling me, I assure you. My class went very well, thank you. I like my group of students, already," Summer chuckled. "How are things with you?"

"Excellent!" Minsc was happy to report. "A bit smaller class than previous ones, but we should have a great deal of fun with the topic this semester. Faeries! Should be a hoot!"
