He giggled as he fell off the brick walls that he ran on; after all, he went to green to live in the pool that was nowhere near the ocean though they imagined it was. He laughed, and laughed, and dove into the pool on the cold side, carrying short conversations with whoever came and waving to whoever left. 

blue sometimes even slipped on the edge of the water and ran home after his head sunk into the blue. But never before he rested at the very bottom and held his breath as long as he ever, ever could.
