Well, this is wonderful. (Open)

[Skyler Harbinger]

Swimming wasn't a usual activity for her, but every few months she got the urge. She didn't even know why she got that particular urge; she'd never been extremely fond of swimming. Most of the time she assumed it was just the urge to go out and do something different from the norm, but when she was actually on the beach, looking out at the water, she figured it was also the peace and quiet. Whenever she'd venture out there were never many people, if anyone at all, which she could understand. Too many sharp rocks to jump over to actually get to the water.

Still, as far as urges went, it could be worse. Clothing and towel lay on the beach, abandoned, while she inched closer to the water. She didn't know why she still insisted on sticking her toe in first, since the water never was extremely cold, but she did anyway. Even so, the difference in temperature between the air, water and herself caused her to fold her arms over her chest to conserve heat, since swim suits didn't help that much.

Once she'd adjusted to the water she swam out, enjoying the water and the sun and the quiet. She didn't swim far from her belongings, preferring to stay in the same general place so she didn’t get lost or have to search. She didn’t do much, either, just float and relax and think. She forced herself back to shore a little more than an hour later, content with her bimonthly swim.

Until she got to shore. She pulled herself out of the water, headed to where she dropped her stuff. Except… none of it was there. The imprints from their time in the sand were and that was the only thing keeping her from thinking she was going crazy. After a moment of staring and blinking, she finally ran a hand through her wet hair and sighed. “Well, this is wonderful.”

"Well it looks like you're missing something." Seamus hadn't been there long, really he had just arrived. Sitting on top of one of the larger boulders, he kicked his feet out in the open air. Where her clothes or towel went he didn't know, but he would be more than willing to help her recover them.

[Skyler Harbinger]

Well, surprise surprise. A teasing smile lit her face as she said, "Now, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you were following me." Sky didn't remember the last time someone offered to follow her until after she said that; the kid and her talk of rebellion still gave her the creeps and a bad taste in her mouth.

Banishing the dark thoughts, she placed her hands on her hips. Afterwards she realized how her bones were probably sticking through her skin and wanted to squirm, but she'd already decided to do this and had already started doing it, so she might as well finish it. "Alright, where did you put my clothes?"

[freedom]

He hopped down and stood on the sand, looking over to her. "Sadly, I do not know where they are. Although I must say, you are beautiful as is." Even though a few bones showed through, she was still beautiful to his eyes. And if she really wanted to fix that, he could probably feed her some food that would help with that.

[Skyler Harbinger]

Her face instantly gained the deer in the headlights look. Not wanting him to see that (or her reddening cheeks, on that thought) she looked down, glad her hair was dry enough to obey the laws of gravity and fall to hide her face. Flatterer, she thought, hoping with almost all her being that he heard that.

After a deep breath, she looked up and around. Her face wasn't quite clear, but it was better than it had been. "Well, the case of the missing clothes has begun, then," she said, more to herself than anything, while trying to figure out what to do next. "You have any ideas?"

[freedom]

(What clothes does she still have? I was just thinking about that...)

He had heard that, and beamed at her. He didn't have any idea where her clothes were, or where the clothes thief was, but as she said, the search was on. "Your guess is as good as mine. But either it was a person or an animal. Personally, since I don't see any tracks, my guess is that it was an animal that took your clothes."

[Skyler Harbinger]

ooc|| she's wearing a bathing suit, smart one. xD

"An animal would still make tracks," she said, raising an eyebrow at his logic. "Unless this place has strange, levitating animals that eat clothing." Sighing a sigh that spoke of defeat, she looked around again, trying to find some trace of anything that might tell where her clothes vanished to.

And after a moment of nothing, she began pacing. It probably wasn't that great of an idea -- after all, she was marking up the sand and any clues that might have been there were pretty much gone -- but she needed a way to vent her frustration. Without taking it out on Seamus.

Wait. She froze, midstep. Levitating. No prints. Sjy looked at him. "There are no tracks. But what if it didn't need to make any tracks?"

[freedom]

As she started her pacing, Seamus watched her, smiling to himself. It was probably wrong to do this, but he didn't care. As soon as she turned back around though he broke his gaze immediately as to not seem like he had been starting the whole time. "Are you suggesting a bird? Or a monster that can levitate or has wings themselves?"

[Skyler Harbinger]

She didn't blame him questioning her, and possibly her sanity by saying that. But it was all that really made sense! How else could her belongings vanish without a trace? Especially, Sky thought, with their imprint still in the sand. "Do you have any better ideas?" she asked.

[freedom]

"Not pertaining to our current dilemma, but I do have better ideas." He spoke with a slight smirk. "But I think you're more interested in finding your belongings, so let's see what he can find." Seamus walked slowly over to her, stopping next to her.

[Skyler Harbinger]

She rolled her eyes and, when he stopped next to her, gave him a playful shove. "Hands to yourself, mister," she joked before looking back at the imprints of her belongings in the sand. Yeah, she needed to find her stuff; her keys were mixed in there. It would be a little hard to explain to someone that she lost her keys and her pants at the beach. "I'm just going to follow you. Lead on."

[freedom]

He chuckled and shoved her back playfully before walking on. "We have absolutely no idea where we are going do we?" he asked, looking around for any signs of the thief. Well if nothing else she could say that he stole them, but that was just being onery

[Skyler Harbinger]

"Oh no. You have no idea where you're going. I'm following you," Sky said, not looking at him. She took a few moments to look in the area where she'd dropped her belongings before following him.

[freedom]

Seamus laughed out loud and shook his head. "Oh Sky you cease to amaze me. Let's see if we can't find this thief and bring them to justice!" he said in an overly dramatic voice with a big smile as he looked back at her.

[Skyler Harbinger]

Oh this was going to be fun. With him in an overly great mood and her worrying about the state of her belongings. Yup, fun. And to think what little humor she had left amazed him. Sky shook her head. "So what's your plan, angel boy?"
