Miyu smiled at his statedment and took his hand gently "We won't go too deep, just enough to have some fun" she said quietly trying to calm him, she wanted to go swimming with her new friend, swimming was always fun for her. "Plus, I will be there" she said hoping he would agree, she gently pulled him towards the direction of the water "Come, it will be fun" she said playfully as she continued to try to convince him to go swimming with her.
Her hand surprised him. His lack of wind made him more alert, but although he was startled by her sudden contact, the warmth of her touch seemed to overwhelm him. He grasped her hand and trusted her guidance. Trust was a slithering word that seemed to elude him in his past. His blindness worked both ways he was oftened told. He was blind to the beauties of the outside world, but also blind to the beauties of the inside world. The world to his emotions, his virtues, his thoughts and desires. He was always in the darkness, both inside and out.
The water was cold, surprising, and a little uncomfortable. Abstract images formed in his mind, memories of panic and fear. He supressed them all, but couldn't help but twitch his left hand that caused a large surge of water to part from him. He shot the wave in an opposite direction of Miyu, and gripped her hand a little harder as the waves receeded licking his knees. "Sorry about that," he stammered realizing his tight grip on her hand, "I didn't mean to. The water's a little cold, no?" He half-laughed, not really a laugh, a force expression he hoped she would buy to quickly change the subject and distract from his moment of fear.
