Anna stood in the water a little longer, and then turned her head to look back at Lucio sitting comfortably behind her. She furrowed her brows in thought, and wondered about the past day again. Anna wanted to ask more questions, but it was all making her rather sad. It's not that Anna had a hard life at all, but things changed rather abruptly. Her feelings being constricted for Lucio by the fear of her families secret. She had only known him a few days and was already beginning to feel something towards him. She realized it when she felt jealous over Verna and him just merely dancing. 

"No," she finally said after a few minutes. She brought her hands to the brown corset that was tied around her waist and fidgeted with the strings. She walked back over to Lucio, and sat down in front of him, leaning on one arm as her legs and dress flowed out to the side. "I'm sorry - I just keep thinking and well. My mind has stopped since the other night". She was honest, she felt like she kept spacing out to reflect on things. Maybe if she hadn't cut herself Alphonse would have never attempted to kill her. Her eyes moved to Lucio, slowly taking in his calm composure in again. She began to wonder why he was still here in town, figuring he would have already left by now. Too many thoughts raced inside of her mind, A kind of rage welled up inside of her, she felt the hair rise on the back of her neck and heart beat faster.  
 
Anna sat up right suddenly, and began to undo her corset. She felt something jolt inside of her, she couldn't sit on these hopeless feelings and thoughts anymore. Her life almost ended the other day, and well - she had a lot more to see and do in life. She stood up, dropping the corset and then stared at Lucio. Her face was solemn, as she slowly dropped her dress. Underneath, she wore only a white cotton piece of fabric for underwear. Her hands covering her breasts, she stepped out of the dress and walked towards the water. Dropping her hands as she walked away from Lucio.  

She had swam in this pond plenty of times, it was very deep in the center - dropping off to 4 feet only a few feet from the shore. She continued walking in, and then dove under the surface of the water. A moment passed before she broke through the surface smiling. The water was cooling against her skin, and she felt herself relax more. She came back near the edge, standing up her right arm went across her chest covering it, and her left hand gestured to Lucio to come in. 

Anna smiled at him widely, "it feels amazing!" She exclaimed and walked out of the water more, her feet barely being covered by the water. She stood there, her hair dropping and causing the water around her to ripple from the stray droplets. She stared at Lucio, waiting for his next move.
