Eagle Height

Lilly laughed, "I don't have a swimsuit. I can't," she didn't seem bothered by it, however.

"Well if you want to swim later you can use my powers to can shape-shift a swimsuit on." RedBear smiled before turning around and jumping in the pond.It felt good to do something fun on this island instead of fighting for survival.

Lilly laughed and was about to roll up her pant legs to dip her feet in the water, when she remembered how long it's been since she'd shaved her legs, then stopped.

RedBear saw Lilly from the other side of the pond and lit all of the hairs on fire just enough to burn them away without burning Lilly. "Heh heh,I got you this time,no need to be embarrassed,ask for help if you need it." He said just loud enough for Lilly to hear before diving back underwater.

Lilly giggled, embarrassed, before rolling up the legs of her pants and dipping them in the chilly water. They were incredibly pale.

RedBear emerged from the water right next to Lilly. "Feel better?" RedBear then looked down at her legs. "You know your legs need sunlight to.How often do your legs get sunshine?" RedBear sat their half submerged.

"I don't often show my legs. I'm just self-conscious. I honestly can't remember the last time I wore shorts," Lilly replied, blushing. She then looked down.

"I see no reason for you to be self-conscious.Everything about you is beautiful." RedBear smile grew bigger.He then climbed out of the water and sat next to Lilly. "I don't even now if I could survive a week without wearing shorts at all.I love feeling 'free'." RedBear let out a small chuckle.

Lilly blushed at the compliment, then she looked down again, "Lilly's not my real name," she said. She felt she could trust him, and she desperately needed to get out of this embarrassing conversation.

"Really?!" RedBear was surprised. "What is it?"

Lilly kept her eyes down, scared to look up at him with her reddened face, "It's Renee. It's french for 'to re-emerge, or to live again'. My dad named me that because I was a perfect image of my mother. She always called me her lily flower, and after what happened to her, I changed my name," she spoke slowly, the words new to her, the name she hadn't been called for years sounding so foreign.

RedBear looked at her.Not knowing what to say he just said. "So do you still want me to call you Lilly,or would you prefer to call you Renee?"

"It doesn't matter. I just thought you might wanna know," Lilly/Renee said, finally looking up at him, the light bouncing off the water lighting up her face. "I just thought I could trust you with that. I've never told anyone since it was changed, and I made everyone who knew my real name swear not to tell anyone, but now that it's just us, I think I'll find a way to tell Silver. But yeah, you can call me whichever one you prefer."

"Okay,well I guess I'll stick with Lilly.It's what I've grown used to." RedBear smiled,happy she trusted him this much.RedBear laid back onto the grass and looked up at the moon. "I'll be honest I hope Kara comes back.But I want him to come back as a friend,not someone,who thinks his purpose if death and destruction."

"Yeah, me, too," Lilly said, laying back with him and staring up at the stars.
