He had taken a few steps in that direction when there was his name being shouting. Oh, he did not even have to turn around to see to whom that voice belonged to! But he needed to look at Margo to greet her properly, right? So he turned, a huge smile on his face. "MARGO!" he shouted back. Adi was always happy to have her around. He knew she had misgivings about being too close to the water but surely she had gotten over them by now? "Come on!'' He gestured to her to join him at the edge. There was no way he was going to let her have this fear of water forever.
Margo's smiled spread across her whole face. She wasn't sure when exactly Adi became her big brother, it must have happened slowly over time. But she couldn't help smiling when he was around. Adi was one of her favorite people by far! She was so happy he had adopted her as one of his own as well.
But then, Dear Merlin, did he just wave her forward. Okay, so she liked him, but he was nuts!
"I'm fine over here thank!" Margo said to him, but she did take a few more steps forward, her feet were at least on the beach now. But she didn't really need to go any further, it wasn't necessary! Margo was at least within distance to not have to shout to Adi anymore.
"How's classes been going for you so far?" Margo asked him, they were after all a bit into the term already.
