"Great! Riddles! He just can’t come here, pick people randomly and fill them up with unanswered questions can he?
Of course he can! He just did that, or haven’t you noticed?”

Ithil was immersed in conversation with himself when Aira reached him.

She was soaking wet from the swim. She focused and her body heat increased. The entire extra water over her evaporated, leaving her dry and clean, still most of the salt crystallized on her skin.

“Oh, I wasn’t expecting this.” Aira said laughing.

Her laughter snapped Ithil out of his deviations. He looked at her and smirked.

“That was kind of obvious to happen, don’t you agree?”

“How should I know!?”

“You never saw the ocean before?”

“No, I had already seen it. I just never tried to dry myself up after going in it.”

“Think twice now, before doing that again.”

“Don’t worry I will. By the way, what were you doing here, when I was swimming down there?”

“Me? Nothing special, just thinking.”

“Humm…can I ask you about what?”

“No, but you already did that so, I guess I just go ahead and answer that.”, Ithil stood up and started walking along the beach line “I was thinking about that man, Oochoo. Apparently he gathered all this people here on this beach for a reason only known to him.”

“I heard what he said Ithil. He said he is going to answer all our questions in due time. We just have to find something to do in the meantime.”

“I won’t!”

“What? You’re not making much sense, you know?”

“This man seams to know more about us than he shows. I won’t behave as I like, because he may be watching us, to get an idea on our normal behaviour.”

“Conspiracy theory, very funny Ithil.”

“You know I’m right Aira. He may want us no harm, but we just don’t know that. So in order to protect ourselves, we must not show our real thoughts and behaviours more than necessary.”

“You’re overreacting, but fine. Besides, by doing what you are doing he will know you still.”

“What do you mean?”

“He will know that you are playing defence, that you are a methodical, observing type of person. He will still know how you think and plan.”

“I…I haven’t thought about that.”

“Well, so much for your theory. Now come and take a dive with me. The water is really good.” She smiled and encouraged Ithil to go swimming with her.

“I’ll promise I won’t dry myself with magic.”
