Aura couldn't help laugh at Rijka's exuberant entrance into the water.  The young person's Joy of life was not only contagious but also refreshing and so very needed in such harrowing times.  The time they spent together in the tent the night previous had also meant much to Aura as it reminded her that the important thing about the last few days was that she, they were still alive.<br/><br/>A need to play came over Aura as she watched Rijka's lithe form splash in the suns warmed water.  Turning back to the Sheriff, she motioned with her hand and gave him a cocky grin, "We have bathed Sheriff, care to come in for some play."  Not waiting for a reply, Aura pushed off their rock and sprinted into the surf, giggling after Rijka.  When she reached her friend, she pulled her water slick body close and in an age old affirmation of life, slipped her lips over other's and kissed her as she stroked her face.  Waving to Zay to join them, she dove under the water and reaching behind Rijka tickled the weakspot behind her knees hoping to loosen her stance and bring her under the water with her.
