"Well... yes... but I'm assuming we'd be staying with them. If that's the case, I'd like for them to at least tolerate me. Kirse or not, it's easier to sit in a house of strangers when you're gone finding your sister if they strangers at least tolerate me. Just for peace of mind" Casey pointed out.

Casey smiled and playfully bumped his shoulder "I didn't want to seem rude. But i like the idea of spending the whole time in your room... I bet it still smells like you to a certain degree. I'll just play on your bed forever, waiting for you. Occasionally playing with Kirse" she said with a light giggle.

Casey chuckled "whatever for? If you clean it, it will lose the smell. Then there would be no point. Why would you want to clean your room out?" she asked.

Casey chuckled "all the better" she responded with a wink. She didn't give him a chance to respond, however, because the lake came into sight. She gripped his arm and pulled him along the path until they reached the lake. Just before they reached the water's edge, she let go and jumped in. She swam back up and faced Theo.

Casey giggled, delight on her face "come here! The water's great!" she called out, waving for him to come closer. She swam around a few times, waiting for him to come closer.

Casey was underwater when she spotted Theo diving in. She smiled and swam up to him, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the rock she'd gone to the last time they'd been there. After awhile she swam to the surface for air.

Casey giggled and kissed his cheek "hmm... is there a cave behind the waterfall? can we explore it?" she asked, the excitement evident in her voice.

Casey smiled and began swimming towards the edge of the waterfall so they could get behind it. "Have you ever been behind the waterfall before?" she asked Theo as she grabbed his hand.

Casey smiled just as she reached the rock. She hoisted herself up and sat on it for a moment, waiting for Theo "what's it like? is it just a boring ol' cave? or is there something cool there?" she asked, excitement showing through her voice.

Casey pouted cutely "how boring... is there anything around here that's... beyond ordinary?" she asked, the pout still on her lips.

Casey giggled and scrunched up her toes. "Stop it! That tickles!" she whined and kicked her feet slightly to get away from the tickling feeling. She hugged her knees to her chest, getting her toes out of the line of fire.

Casey giggled at the pout "you can play with something else that doesn't tickle. You have a whole body to play with, you're creative. You don't need my toes" she remarked.

Casey rolled her eyes then come and get me. Prove to me that you want me" she said with a wink "a good chase will do you good" she teased as she stood up, moving away from the pool of water, making her way to the cave.
