The cold water had buffeted her senses and reminded her that she had something to live for- those eggs on the sands. The eggs she had touched with her now cold hands. Her hands were cold. The water was cold. She didn't back pedal, there would be no used in trying to step backwards now, but at the unknown masculine voice she turned around.
She moved slowly, as if hampered by the weight of her clothing heavy with water, which to some degree she was. Lymsleia tried to offer a smile, but the sudden chattering of teeth wiped it away. "I ahh.. thank you." she managed to remember her manners as she made her way back towards the shore. She took slow sure steps. The water wasn't calling quiet so loud any more. Had she really wanted to throw herself into the lake, like the stories she'd heard from the other girls?
"My name's Lymsleia, Journeywoman Healer." she said politely . She touched the knots on her shoulder indicating her rank, but also that she was a candidate.
