"My excuse was generally along the lines of 'Oh, but I couldn't say no to that face!'" he said, indicating the direction Caxith had wandered in with a thumb over his shoulder. She had slipped back into the water a polite distance away from the younger green in the hopes that she wouldn't scare any more fish away. She was not so interested in the fish anymore as she was in the water itself. It wasn't particularly accurate, all things considered, because Caxith refused to make a face of any sort, but he figured (hoped) that the other man was imaginative enough to figure it out without a literal example.
He glanced over his shoulder to watch the green cavort in the water for a moment before throwing another grin at the younger greenrider. "She liked baths more than was good for her as a Weyrling. She grew out of that, but never the swimming," he said, then laughed as Seijin continued. "Caxith wasn't exactly expected, either. But we get along well enough, so I never really thought about it overmuch." When Seijin moved to sit by the water T'rielle followed, though he stayed standing and kept a good couple feet of distance between the two of them as he watched the Weyrling green swim.
