And then, she felt something ice cold against the skin of her leg and resisted the urge to shriek. When Jay lifted up the water bottle, she sighed in relief; the cold was gone. He had aimed right for where her skirt ended and where her skin was left exposed. And now, there was a cold, wet part of her leg that, in her mind, was sobbing hysterically. Poor, poor leg... "Don't come to me when you die of hypothermia," she snorted, rolling her eyes. "I'll be nice and cozy in my beautiful, furry skirt and leg warmers, and you... well, you'll be left with your t-shirt, a pair of jeans, and frostbitten fingers." Yup. Because anyone could get frostbite in this weather. Not even she could manage that...
"Fine," Eirian said. "Giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl friends." Rolling her eyes, her mind drifted off to the people Jay would call giiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirl friends. Savvy... She had left. Grawr. So much from being saved from the Ice Queen. Only Vashti was left, and a tiny little second year could only do so much... "Drama is my niddle name. Eirian Nerys Drama Vaughn. Quite a pedigree, right there." And it was true... She was from a pretty good family line. At least, that was what her grandmother said... And that wasn't including her 'slattern' of a mother. "I don't like him!" Eirian exclaimed, a smile on her face despite the dramaticness in her voice. "You could be my Siamese twin, but you would still be wrong. Your subscription to the Psychic Friends Network is long gone, meu filho. I do not like the boy who gave me this rose. Not one bit."
Eirian rolled her eyes as Jayce laughed. Uh huh... She was being serious! As serious as Eiri could be, anyway. "I don't know, you went out of your way to resolve the fight between us," she argued playfully. "I'm pretty sure that means you give a damn. That you can even put up with me! And hey, I'd be able to name loads more if you weren't so linguistically challenged."
"Hey, let's not talk about that," she suggested, eyes back on her best friend. "See? It's awkward even talking about it." She sure didn't want to imagine Jayce and Trixie being all gooey. She had yet to witness it, and never, ever wanted to. Eww. Eirian never liked PDA unless she was one of the two doing the displaying. "Instead... Let's talk about our plans for the summer, since you're staying with me and all. Besides looking for your mum - which will take up a considerable amount of time - what d'you think we should do?" The beach? Too cold and too cliche. A day in London? That could take a turn for the worst rather fast... "And where is Opal...?"
"Whatever you say Eirian." he shook his head in disbelief. "You must have watered down blood or something and that's why you're always so cold." he chuckled. Her blood must have been the thinnest blood in the world. "I bet my blood's almost a solid it's so thick." he grinned. "It's thinker than syrup." Wow, why were they talking about this? It was so.. random. But then again, random was practically Jay's middle name.. so maybe this fit. "Yes, the thickness, or thinness of our blood makes all the difference in our body temperatures.
Jay took another sip of his water bottle as he stared at Eiri from the corner of his eye. She looked like she wanted to scream after he had put the water bottle against her leg and he couldn't help but grin at her reaction because, well.. it was totally something that Eirian would react badly to. "Hypothermia? This water bottle isn't going to give me hypothermia. What would make you think that?" he questioned her. "Oh, you meant the weather outside. Eirian, it's summertime over here. This is the hottest it gets all year so i am most definitely not going to get hypothermia, i promise you that."
"Yeah, i meant my girlfriend and then my actual
girl," Long pause. "friends. It's not that hard of a concept." he teased. Oh, how he loved to tease her. It would never bore him. "Ah, you have quite the name there. One of the longest i've heard." No wait... someone else he had met had multiple names. Er... what was her name.. Bah, he couldn't remember. "You welsh people have too long of names. You need to shorten them." Jay gave her a nudge playfully. "You do! Don't deny it. He's like your best friend, but better." he grinned. Oh how Jayce loved to play these games. "I think i'd be right and you'd be wrong." he smiled. "I know you better than you know yourself."
"Oh you know i'll put up with you. You're pretty much my only friend. If i had other friends, it'd probably be a different story." he teased her again. Tease, tease, tease. "You know i'm joking. I'd do anything for you and Trixie. It's just how i am." he smiled at her. It was a nice smile, one of his finest. "Hey, those other guys don't count. Only if i can pronounce them. Which i highly doubt i can. So there." he said, crossing his arms for effect even though he had a playful smile on his face.
"Yeah, i guess you're right. It is a tad bit awkward to talk about with your best friend." Yeah, especially when they were of the opposite gender. That was awkward. "Yes! Plans for the summer. Sounds good." he smiled. Anything to change the subject would work for him. "Well, besides looking for my
mom," he said it the American way, hoping it would bother her. "We should... go... Err... what is there to do near you house? Is there a beach or a pool or something?" he asked curiously. Anything would be fine with him of course.
"Opal? She's in my backpack. I shrunk her down and put her in there with plenty of stuff to eat. She's getting to big to carry now." Jayce took his backpack off of his back, and opened it to show Eirian that Opal was truly inside. She was about the size of a rat and sitting there, staring up at them happily. "See? She's fine. Anyway, where's little fino? And.. you're bird... who's name i don't know."
