"If I felt like getting wet," Cygnus added as he caught sight of one a few feet away, kicking lazily through the water. "Name's Cygnus, by the way. What's yours?" A name for a name was only fair. The whole atmosphere of this place lent itself to being a little friendlier than usual- the way the wind whisked over the pond and made gentle ripples across its surface, combined with the long, swaying willow branches made the vibes here feel pretty dang good.
