> just out here for a swim. what's with the umbrella

“Hahah, what? I’m just out here for a little swim!” Luce lightly splashed the water around her, a large smile on her face. The other person flinched just a little. Aw, cute. She didn’t seem to want to respond back. Well that’s just fine, Luce loved to hear herself speak anyways.

“I love the umbrella you got there. Nice and red. You know it’s not going to rain anytime soon right? Haven’t you seen the sky this morning?”

“Uh...huh.” She was too awkward. Maybe she had never spoken to another being before! Luce carried herself on.

“It was nice and blue today. And the clouds too, all white and fluffy!”

“Right…” The red umbrella spun around in her hands. She shifted around on her feet.

Luce curled a strand of hair around her fingers. This wasn’t the worst conversation she’d ever had. At least it didn’t involve fighting. But it was slowly starting to become a bore.

“But maybe you hate the sun,” Luce sighed. “I don’t judge. I see people carrying them around all the times, so you aren’t a sore thumb at all.”
