He paddled a little harder to keep up.

Freeman noticed there was at least one other sensible person among them who had also chosen to sail alone. The boy also appeared to be talking to himself. "Standing is not such a great idea," Freeman pointed out, calling at the boy. For some reason he felt the need to assist a fellow loner.

Gold raised an eyebrow. That Freeman kid. She had one word to sum him up: arrogant. Gold never got along with people who were too sure of themselves, in every, every thing. The kind of people who have that firm belief that what they do, and what they say, is always absolutely right. That kind of thinking, in Gold's opinion, kills teamwork, and the ability to learn from others, no matter what their position, younger people and older people, and weaker and stronger and all sorts of people.

"EGGCUP, not egg-cup," she said, referring to the pause between the 'egg' and the 'cup,' when the kid had said the word. He said it like egg-cup. Not eggcup. You know? "It stands for Eli and Gold's Ginormously Cool Ultimate Power-raft," she said, with a shrug. She had no idea why she had told the kid this; but, oh well. She gave Freeman a little smile, little but warm despite the sarcasm that had been in his voice when he had spoken of her and Eli's raft, before settling her green eyes back on Eli.

The raft took a bit up a bump- nothing too alarming, but...

"Was that a wave? Or... maybe the giant squid?" he asked Gold, a little alarmed. "I thought maybe I saw a tentacle a minute ago." What if the monster was going to try to take them down? NEVER! Not with Cap'n Laksh and her first mate Eli on deck!

BUMP.

"EEP," Gold said, flailing. It had been nothing serious, but it had certainly imbalanced one of the cushions near the far edge of the raft. The cushion had, in fact, nearly fallen into the lake. Gold levitated it to herself, and set it down by her side. Then she turned back to Eli.

"Could have been the Giant Squid," she said, with a little nod. "You never know." Tucking a bang of bright, bright red hair behind an ear, she looked round the blue lake with wide, green eyes, as if expecting a big, pinkish tentacle to emerge from the water and wave at - or grab! - them, any second. As could be expected, nothing of that sort happened, and Gold shrugged the little incident off pretty quickly. It definitely looked like Mr. Squid had no plans to greet or eat them, today.

"Sooo. Eli." She sat up, and grinned at him, as she blew lots of air out of her wand, to make their ship sail faaaster. The speed and lake and sky and everything was awesome! They were nearly there, only a quarter of the way left, and Gold wasn't sure if that was such a good thing, because it meant the little journey would end, and the combination of sky and wind and water, come to an end for now. "Have you ever met the Giant Squid?"
