It was when she could run down, dump her camp t-shit, black yoga pants, and sneakers into a pile on the sand and just dive into the Lake! Nothing felt as good to the daughter of Poseidon - and how weird to actually be able to officially say that! - and letting herself be surrounded by the water that was her element. Lake, river, ocean, all of it was amazing, though oceans were her favorite having spent her formative years near one. Still the Lake at camp was sufficient to give her room to stretch and swim and just bask in the simple glory of how at home she felt in the water. Of course she had time in the water during her swimming classes as well, but that was different, that was more structured and she couldn't just<em>be</em>, she had to follow someone else's instructions.<br/><br/>Today was no different.<br/><br/>This afternoon she was being fairly lazy though. Today instead of darting in and out of the water she was, simply, letting herself float, absorbing the rays of the sun that would give her skin a slightly bronzed appearance, while delighting in the caress of the water that made that same sun's rays bearable. Too much sun without the benefit of water nearby became incredibly uncomfortable for Tempest (much like an open flame could as well) but here it wasn't a problem, here she could have the best of both worlds, the sun and the water.<br/><br/>It made her wonder, sometimes, how well her father and Apollo actually got along.<br/><br/>Glancing back at the shore she wasn't surprised to other people arriving to spend their free time by the Lake as well, it was a popular spot. She could see a group of Aphrodite's children in one direction and a few sunbathers that were, most likely, children of Apollo (they'd had a busy morning in the Infirmary by all accounts and no doubt many of them just needed a break!) and various others scattered around. Watching them from where she floated on her back she was amused, and part of her considered simply diving down into the depths of the water and seeing what there was to see, she'd done it before, collecting water plants, taking with the denizens of the Lake, but today she just couldn't muster the energy to do so, today she was just relaxing.
