<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/NxaLBd2.jpg)</div>Name: Leah Rivers (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=287870.msg14155025#msg14155025)<br/>Location/Time: JFK, London and on to the Linea.<br/>Tagging: Clover, Shoko, Tory, and everyone<br/>Wearing: a yellow 2 piece string bikini with white deck shorts and a long, flowing nearly see thru white blouse that was only partly buttoned up<br/><br/>Leah looked around the bar area for a seat, smiled at Shoko and Rory as she went to the bar to get herself some lemonade.  She hadn't eaten a full meal since yesterday, short on sleep and she was a lightweight when it came to alcohol, best to stick with something safe.  She smiled at Kelli, "I see you are finally joining the land of the living," she tried to light heartedly joke with the surfer as she took her glass and walked over to a railing where she could look out over the water as she slowly sipped her drink, wondering again why she was here.  Turning to look onto the deck as she heared someone coming up, she raised her glass toward Maya as the energetic woman bounded onto the deck with Harmony in tow.<br/><br/>Looking over all the other women her for the cruise, she had to give Clover props, she had invited a diverse group of women.  It could only speak of Clover's openness, accepting and friendly nature.  Would there be chemistry between her and Clover?  Her pessimistic side didn't believe in love at first sight, although lust at first sight certainly existed.  She glanced over at Rory quickly before turning back to look at the water.  Maybe there would be chemistry between her and Clover, she owed it to Clover to find out.  Hopefully, they could be friends at the very least.  And if it helped Clover figure out what her type was, all the better.  And friendship could grow into more with time.<br/><br/>As Clover made her grand entrance, with only a little of nervousness on display, Leah smiled softly as she moved over to the circular bench seats with everyone else as they were introduced to the small crew.  The mexican-american lady listened attentively to all of Clover's instructions on living on a boat, if you could really call the Linea a boat, maybe a ship was better.  But regardless, Leah listened carefully and made mental notes on where the off-limits areas were and the safety precautions.<br/><br/>Pushing down the feeling of being overwhelmed with the opulence displayed all around and pretending to be completely at ease, she sipped from her lemonade as she smiled in support as Shoko asked the first question.  She was pleasantly surprised when Shoko asked the first question, Shoko was an introvert like her and was shy on top of that, she was really making an effort to get out of comfort zone and Leah admired the japanese lady for that.<br/><br/>Bracing herself as she felt the powerful engines start and the Linea start moving away from the harbor, she looked over at Clover, "Are we going to make port everyday?  Or be out at sea most of the time?" She asked curiously, not sure which she would prefer more as the ship glided out of the harbor.  If they made port everyday or so, there would be an escape from the others, on the other hand if they stayed out at sea, they could exist in a bubble and be more free to open up to each other.
