I'm not really that outdoorsy. I mean, maybe more than some of the other people around here... [ not that sadie would really know enough to compare. she sort of just trails off then, because she's still struggling to determine how long is too long to hang around here. it's - weird, to think that she's so worried about overstepping his boundaries by just sort of sitting near him, and she isn't completely sure how to feel about that.

she still cares about him. a lot. and maybe they don't hang out constantly anymore, but she can still be worried about him. especially when he's hurting as clearly as he is right now. ]

The water's pretty safe here, you know. I don't think I've heard of any smiling fish attacks in the area recently, at least. [ she's half-smiling, though it's more to herself than him as she absently rubs her arm. kind of a stupid joke, but at least it's an attempt. ]
