Thread: It's only natural [sailingsam and Sigr]

Cat blushed softly as Leaf talked about the beach, wanting to speak up and say that she knew that Leaf liked that beach. She had seen her there before, and was unsurprised to learn that it was close to her house. The younger teen had likely walked down the beach in the nude to where Cat had run into her. Shutting her eyes quickly, Cat silently cursed herself for thinking of the summer scene on the beach as she slowly nodded and reopened her eyes at the dark haired girl. I'd love to come by and hang out with you sometime. She said as she wondered what Leaf's home was like. Were they nudists too? She again closed her eyes and tried to divert her mind as she listened to Leaf again explain her affinity for being a vegetarian. Cat smiled and laughed and shrugged. You're right... admirable may be the wrong word, but you're like the first vegetarian I've run into around here. Believe it or not. She laughed. California was a bit more of a progressive state, so it was naturally assumed there were plenty of vegetarians and the like in the state, but they must have known to avoid Cat, because she could probably count on one hand how many she actually knew, but that was beside the point as she nodded and smiled. Of course you're cool. Coming in all swag like a couple of days late to the start of the school year. What a badass. Cat exclaimed as she immediately blushed and covered her mouth before giggling. I just said the word swag and cursed. I'm so sorry. She began to giggle harder in embarrassment as she slowly calmed down and listened to Leaf's response about a potential petition. Shrugging, she leaned forward to face her new friend. I'm sure you wouldn't be a bother. They don't want to have angry students, and they especially don't want to have upset parents. She said before leaning back and drinking her water before nodding again. I'm sure you wouldn't be a bother, and that there are others the same way, but it sounds like your mom would be more than willing to pack your own lunch. She observed. I guess in the end though it's really up to you I guess. I couldn't ever touch what they call soup and that measly portion of a salad without the even cut up tomatoes. She smiled up at Leaf as she looked up at the clock on the wall, it was nearing the end of lunch time, but they still had a little time to chat. Cat was taken a bit aback by the sudden, well suddenness of Leaf's response as she smiled softly and leaned forward, watching as Leaf's hands moved across and held onto her own as she bit her lip softly, the girl had a pair of extremely soft hands, and it was only until now that she realized how tanned Leaf was as she looked up at the pair of hazel eyes dancing back and forth with sudden delight. She laughed at the question, with the way that Leaf had asked it making it sound like it was an imperative question, when it was just something normal as she thought for a moment, continuing to hold hands with her. I just really like to explore... go on long walks through parks or hiking trails... sometimes I'll ride my bike... I love to read...really anything to do with the outdoors. I'm a great swimmer too. She smiled, waiting to see if Leaf liked any of the answers.
