The two of them we're still in the water looking at each other, the girl being flustered by the nickname he gave her... "my muse" she repeats in her mind... but then she cuts the silence.
"How can I call you then?"
"By my name?"
"No, if you're nicknaming me, I will nickname you."
She said defending herself.
"Haha, then create one? I won't help you I picked up mine without your help so..."
"Ugh.. okay..."
She locks her eyes onto the water to think about a potentiel shortcut or new name to give him.
"What about... a short cut of elefthería"
"Wow where does that come from"
He asks, surprised by the sound of the language she uses, it was clearly not english or spanish.
"It means 'freedom' in greek, my father was born in Greece, so I know some words"
She smiled proud of her statement, he was amazed by the beauty of her origins, he then smile back.
"If you do a short cut, we can call you 'Lefie' or something, we can add a shortcut of your name to it, like-"
He was staring with boba eyes at her while she was talking, making her stop. He realise and speaks.
"Don't bother yourself at creating a nickname, call me Lefie I like it, it's cute."
He state, she smiled.
They went out of the water, being totally soaked but they didn't care.
As they walk out, he notices something about her.
"You don't have any shoes?"
"Why would I wear some?"
"I don't know, you can get hurt if a piece of glass cuts your feet, it could get infected and everything an-"
"Wow chill doctor, I don't wear any because one, we're suppose to walk on bare feet to grow thick skin, two there are only your group coming around here so there is no trash on the ground or anything, three did you ever experience to have your bare feet on the mud? The feeling is so relaxing, I could hop in mud all day if I could."
"You'd stain your dress!"
"Who cares? I make them myself."
The more he knows of her, the more he falls for her.
The more she is feeling confortable and safe around him, the more she falls for him.
After a talklish conversation, she decides to take him by the hand to lead him a bit further in the forest, to arrive at a little spot with nothing but nature around. She explains.
