soothe these aching bones

Theory was resting her chin on the edge of the pool, fully submerged by laying down in the water. It felt so good that she didn't want to move. In fact, she was enjoying it so thoroughly that her mind was a million miles away. The voice of a stranger finally pulled her back to reality. Theory blinked and moved her head to look at Riva, water sloshing around her. "Oh, you're not intruding," she said slowly, unwilling to stand up and greet her when the water felt so good. "I've heard wonderful things about this place and just came to stop by and explore... and rest my muscles," Theo confessed. The small stranger looked so much like her family that it almost made her double take, but Theory thought she had a good handle on all of her relatives at this point. Well, it didn't hurt to ask. "You don't happen to be related to any Destructions, do you? You look a fair bit like my father." And a bit like Shaye. It was like a knife to the heart to see a dainty face with similarly placed white markings.
