Lu opened his eyes only to spot Kacela already stripped to her undergarments. He blinked as the girl was only wrapped in a cloth, which somehow fit the image created in his head. He observed her for a while, mentally slapping himself for staring that much, a blush appearing on his face. Lucius looked up into the sky and calmed himself, listening to the forest. He didn’t feel anything in close proximity but could hear animals in the distance. He looked at Kacela again, he didn’t know why the girls was so shy, she looked absolutely stunning, she had to have her reasons though. He shook his head to stop analyzing his new friend and unfastened the belt, taking of his pants right after.

Lu stretched, even though his body was already warmed up from before. Doing that he took another glance at Kacela. He saw many pretty even beautiful girls and women, but this girl had something past the physical appearance. Maybe spending so much time in the forests made the forests made the boy strange but he thought this girl was very similar to one. Lucius couldn’t put a finger on it but somehow he had a hunch that both of them were similar in the regard that they felt calm and free in the wild.

As he looked at the waterfall and the pool he calmed himself once more, deciding he would try one of his exercises when in the water. His thoughts were roused when Kacela jumped into the water and called out to him. [b]Be there in a moment.[/b] He took a few deep breaths and jumped into the water, going a few meters under the surface. Once there he closed his eyes and curled up into a ball, drifting in the water. This was what he sometimes did to calm himself, the current was just right and he felt at ease. After about half a minute he opened his eyes and slowly drifted up to the surface. Lu didn’t want to worry Kacela, nor did he plan to stay underwater long.

After surfacing, his hair, which was longer than it seemed thanks to his hairstyle, covered his eyes. He still saw but he must have looked funny. He smiled turning in Kacela’s direction. [b]You were right. The water is pleasant.[/b] He smiled broadly and brushed his hair to the back again, revealing his face. [b]It’s been a long time since I found a place like this in a forest. Thank you[/b] He looked up and took a deep breath. Afterwards he looked at the girl. [b]I wonder if there is something behind the waterfall[/b] He murmured, floating on the water’s surface.
