It had also been before she had lost herself in her reading and therefore, sorta forgot that she wasn't at all alone. Well she wasn't entirely anyhow since she had her cat beside her but that was beside the point.

So it was when she heard someone talking, on instinct, Keigh looked up with some confusion on her face. "Hmm?" she hummed softly under her breath. Whether or not she had been questioning the other persons "Listen" or she was just responding to something else wasn't entirely clear. With a small tilt of her head she took in the lack of shoes and socks upon his feet and just how close he was to the water. Was he planning on jumping in? Hopefully he had at least placed a warming charm upon himself like she had done many times when she went wading into the lake with Jude.

"Is everything.. alright?" the blonde spoke up loudly enough to be heard but also making sure not to be shouting. "If you haven't already, you might want to consider a warming charm before going in. The water can be downright chilly sometimes." Speaking from experience here.

The cold was, honestly, the least of Atlas' concerns when it came to stepping into the lake. All he could thinking about was sanitation, not that the accusatory voice and eyes of Kinsay James were echoing in his thoughts or anything...her FALSE accusations for the record. Sure, he knew plenty about how ecosystems had their methods that were effective in the removal of industrial pollutants as well as metabolize waste present in the water. But...still...

Just HOW sanitary was it in here?

His sacrifice of the flesh, not to be dramatic or anything, better be worth it. And the showers better be available once he hauled himself back to the common room. And Freddie better have left some shampoo too.

The tips of his toes just barely touching the edge of the water, Atlas continued to inch his way into the water...one centimeter at a time...and had just held his breath in preparation of submerging his toes when a voice coming behind him made him nearly jump right out of his goosebumpy skin. And his shin was even more goosebumpy now too. He really needed to work on his alertness to his surroundings, honestly. For as much self preservation as he liked to pride himself on...he was pretty pathetic.

"What?" he heaved as he pivoted slightly to look behind him, his expression peak kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar. "Yeah. Sure. Everything is fine." Mostly. Nothing to be done about the sanitation levels of the lake. "I'm good. Heating Charm and all that." A lie, he didn't have one in place but that was whatever.
