(IC) Lost in Dreams (Julian)

There is a moment of hesitation in the pond, and a little awkwardness, and then they are all splashing each other and laughing and swimming and diving. There aren't actually all that many of them: maybe a dozen boys his age, or within a year or two. (good reaction roll of 12, plus four for looks and pitiable)

There isn't really any meet in the soup. Is that maybe shrimp? No, where would they get shrimp? its some small cooked crustacean.

The Boys try to get Julian ready for the dance, but its just too hard. He's moving his feet at the wrong time and his arms in the wrong direction... its a surprisingly hard dance. Or maybe all dances are like this.

Julian gets a few names from the boys. Ramat is something of a natural leader, though everyone treats him as a troublemaker. Yasib is apparently the funniest, though maybe that works better with language. Tirik is the biggest and strongest of the lot.

The boys stay up late... as everyone is going home they seem to be just be getting started. They seem intent mostly on throwing things in the water... but no one wants to be in it now that its dark and the night chill is coming.
