I am magnet for all kinds of deeper wonderment
Seren lounged about for a while, but as Maeve slowly inched closer she gradually became more alert. With an impish smile, she shifted location slightly, keeping low in the water and moving slowly so there wouldn't be any splashes.
Going around her friend, Seren barely breathed from mounting excitement. When Maeve called out a second time, she stood slowly just behind her back, and leaned in to whisper a sharp "Polo!" in her ear. Ready to leap out of the way, in case there was a quick reaction. Or catch, if Maeve was spooked enough to stumble; Seren took her inability to swim seriously. There would be no accidents on her watch.
