Sand Between Your Toes

[Crona]

(ooc: July 19th. Open to all younger characters for a fun day at the beach.)

To say he was out of his comfort zone would be a fairly good analysis. Crona hardly ever had the opportunity to spend time anywhere like a beach before, so being out there in his cute little black and pink colored trunks with a towel covering most of him (it was a fairly large towel) was a bit unusual for him. For once, though, the pink-haired child didn't feel too uncomfortable. He still didn't quite know how to deal with other people, or how other people would deal with him, but he felt okay for the moment. On top of that, since Ragnarok had been so upset at Crona for running away he hadn't bothered to pester him lately. This had made Crona very happy. He could relax now.

"I wonder if I'm the only one here..." Crona murmured. The beach seemed fairly empty. Where was everyone?

[Holly]

Holly had just arrived on the sandy beach. She didn't even know why she was here. She hated swimming and the beach. Perhaps living in BeansBorrow her whole life might have something to do with it.

"That's weird, aren't they're usually more people on the beach?" The girl thought only to see Crona. A bit nervous, she walked over to him. "Um, hello." she smiled.

[Crona]

"Hello..." Crona greeted. Timidness seemed to have melted away just a touch, probably because Marie had been helping him up until he left for the island, but he still was a bit afraid of interacting with others. That was mostly because he still wasn't used to being with other children. "I guess you came here to enjoy yourself, too?" he asked quietly. He was fidgeting with his towel a little, letting it wrap around his body a bit more, and overall unsure of how he was doing. He wasn't failing, that was for certain.

[Holly]

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." Holly lied, kinda uncertain about telling the boy about his hatred of the beach. Though it really couldn't be more obvious, she was wearing her typical orange long sleeve shirt, pants and white sneakers. While telling Crona this, she noticed his fidgeting, implying how nervous he was. She felt empathy for the boy, if she actually had a towel, she would've been doing the same thing.

"Um do you need a little help with that?" She offered, noticing the boy trying to tie his towel on him.

[Crona]

"N-No, I'm okay... really." Crona replied. In truth, he didn't quite know why he was trying to wrap himself up in his towel. Maybe it was because it was so big and he was so small that it just sort of... happened. Whatever the case, he realized he must have looked silly like that. Soon the towel came off from his body and fell onto the sand beneath him, revealing him in his full, puny glory before the girl he presumed was a bit older than him. If he hadn't known how to deal with it before, he certainly didn't know right then.

"Sorry... I'm kind of new at this beach thing. I've never been to a place like this before." Crona said. That was, of course, disregarding his mindspace that he went to when he wanted to be alone. It was sandy, yes, but nothing like a beach. "I don't think I've seen you around before."

Idiot, you've never met any of these people here.

Ignoring Ragnarok's thought at the back of his mind, Crona decided to press onward. How bad could continuing this conversation and enjoying a day at the beach be? "Can I ask... your name?"

[Holly]

The little girl smiled back at the boy. "My name is Holly." She introduced herself. When Crona's towel came off, Holly gave a bit of an uncertain look, not really sure how to react. She then forced out a gentle smile, it seemed obvious that the little boy was hesitating, and Holly did feel empathy for him. She knew how it felt to be nervous when meeting new people.

"And Don't worry about it, I'm not much of a beach person myself." After a brief pause she asked. "So what's your name?"
