Pumpkins and Rain Showers
@Madison BennettWhen the girls left, Simon lifted the boat and crawled out, before helping Madison as well. They were now pretty dirty and he realized he would have to go back to the common room and change after this. He brushed off his sleeves and knees.
"Finally they left, I thought they were gonna keep talking for ages." Madison giggled. "Too much girl talk for you huh, Orion?"
"Yeah. Not my cup of tea", he said, chuckling. "I don't mind talking to you, though. But you never talk gossip or talk ill about others. And that is something I appreciate about you, Madi."
It had finally stopped raining. The sun broke through a gap on the cloudy sky and revealed the most magnificent rainbow. The view was almost like that of a storybook.
"Woah, Simon come look at this, it's the biggest rainbow I've ever seen."
"Same here. We should have had a camera", he said jokingly. "But it's like my father say – not everything has to be memorized through a photograph. After all, there is something magical about admiring something beautiful with your own eyes, and not just through the lens of a camera, don't you think?"
The clouds separated even more, and the sun rays hit the ocean, blinding them where they stood.
"Perhaps we should start heading back. I need to change my clothes and no offense, but I think you have to do that too." He smiled and put his arm around her shoulder in a friendly manner to steer them towards the stair. "Come one, Aquila Girl. Now our friendship is carved into that wall, forever, as long as the wall remains there."
