The next morning Guy woke up before anyone else, it was still early if the slowly shifting colours of the sky were anything to go by. Guy wanted to explore the area they were in to see if he could find a faster path towards the mountains. He poked Jharii awoke knowing if he went exploring without her Jharii would be angry and probably wouldn't talk to him again, he didn't want that to happen, he enjoyed being around her.. Guy was right as soon as Jharii woke up and Guy told her what he wanted to do she glared at him until he explained that he wanted her to join him. They both quietly stood up and stretched and slowly snuck away ensuring that they didn't wake any of Jharii's family.
They had walking around and admiring the landscape when they came across a small lake, Guy looked excited and started towards it but Jharii looked hesitant. She slowly and cautiously made her way over to Guy who was standing next to the edge of the lake. Guy was looking at the water's surface with a small smile on his face and a faraway look in his eyes, Jharii thought that he was thinking about his family and didn't want to disturb him. Eventually he noticed that Jharii was standing next to him then got this look in his eyes that made Jharii slightly suspicious about what he was thinking about.
"Jharii can you swim" Guy asked while moving a bit closer to Jharii.
"What?" Jharii replied sounding confused but curious at the same time.
"Have you ever been swimming?" he asked after her reply.
"No, what is swimming" she asked in return to his question.
Guy spent the next ten minutes explaining what swimming was to Jharii and afterwards tried to convince her to let him teach her how to swim. Jharii at first said no but after twenty minutes pestering she said yes, she told him that she said yes just to get him to quite annoying her. He laughed then moved behind Jharii, he then proceeded to push her into the water. She squealed as she fell into the water but started laughing when she surfaced. Guy jumped in after her, for the next couple of hours he taught Jharii to swim; she wasn't very good but eventually got the hang of it.
After a few more minutes swimming in the lake Jharii decided that they should probably head back to where her family was hopefully still asleep. She was hoping that because of how stressful things had been the last few days that her family would sleep most of the day so she could spend uninterrupted time with Guy. She eventually got Guy out of the water and lead the way back to where her family was, and by the position of the sun it was highly unlikely that her family would still be asleep but she stilled hoped they would be.
Jharii was right when they got back to her family Grug was standing there with his arms crossed and looking slightly murderous, the rest of the family especially Eep looked amused. The only thought that went through her head as she walked in front of Guy to her father was 'uh oh'.
