Adelaide's doe eyes widened. "Edible paint? How funny." She didn't mean humorous, no, she meant odd, weird, strange, Adelaide couldn't think how that would be enjoyable... Paint that you could eat... No, absolute nonsense, not that she was judging, no, to each their own and all, but really this just seemed impractical.

"No, thank you, but I'm headed in anyway, I'd like to wash my face and change out of this bathing suit." She'd put it on earlier in case she decided to go for a dip, but after getting sunburnt she was much more interested in that lovely sounding salve and her bed. "I'd stay with you two but I really must get inside, yes." Addie said, agreeing with Nowell's words.

She scoffed at her brother, smiled at her cousin and then promptly dashed inside, eager for the soothing relief of the sunburn treatment and the cool, shaded corridors of their summer home.

Sigh. What an unpleasant way to start summer vacation.
