Erm.. huh? If he wasn't going swimming then.. what was he doing? Don't mind her for looking mildly puzzled right then. "Oh, okay?" It hadn't been meant to come out as
a question but it had. "Forgive me for asking this but.. what does waiting for Bartholomew Henry have to do with you standing in the freezing cold water for?" Perhaps it wasn't any of her business but she was curious. Annnnnnd Atlas was outside where anyone at all could see him. Surely he didn't have to be IN the water to speak with the giant squid?

Joyous moods. Couldn't relate.

He did not find her questions offensive at least, even if he was only slightly miffed by having his motivations questioned. Curiosity was not a crime, thankfully, but it could be an irritating trait. "It's the more efficient way of getting his attention," the Gryffindor explained. Just sitting on the bank watching the undisturbed water wasn't going to get much done and there were only so many failed attempts at skipping stones Atlas could stand before his ego became too bruised to carry on. So, instead, he was giving himself frostbite. Made perfect sense. But, speaking of stones, he did have a couple in his pocket still that he needed to toss out into the lake for added effect. Sure, he could have tossed them from the shore but it was unlikely they would have made it too far. Athleticism was not on his side despite his bulked up appearance and broadening shoulders. Even so, however, he intended on using his wand to slingshot them further out. Which is what he was currently preparing himself to do. Which a flick of his wand followed up by a tight corkscrew movement from the wrist, Atlas cleared his throat triumphantly as a translucent golden thread-like light dripped out from his wand and he reached into his pocket for pebble number one.
