Winter dive

Anyone near the waters of the lake would start to hear a very loud, almost angry sounding roar. It would start to get closer and lounder, it was coming from the direction of the crimson quarter.
 
"RRRRAAAAOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!"
 
Moments later, Ohren could be seen sprinting through the woods towards the lake in nothing but his loin cloth. When he got to the edge of the water he would leap forwards flying out over the water.
 
"KAKON BALL!!!!"
 
Ohren would forget to curl into a ball and would land with a very loud SMACK on the surface of the icy cold water splashing it out to those close the the edge of the water nearest to him. He would surface and start yelling Angori curses and swimming towards the edge.
 
"HAMACABULA DATS COLD!!!!"

Glimmer witnesses Ohren flop into the water on his belly and flits straight up off the ground in a squeeling jump.  "WEEEEHOOOO!  BY THE WINGS!"  Glimmer places her sack of nuts against a tree and flits to the water's edge.  She started off a bit to quickly and tries to glide to a slow halt above Ohren's head, but instead lands on top of his head, plunging them both into the water.  When she pops back to the top of the surface, Glimmer shouts "WEEEEEEEEHOOOOOOO!  PINK BELLY!  It's cold!  Let's race!"  Glimmer takes off attempting to swim quickly, forgetting how much of a set back wings can be in the water.

 Dark eyes watched from beneath a black hood. A soft chuckle came from the slim figure that stood not too far from the shore, leaning against a tree. Her arms were folded beneith her chest as she watched her fae and angori friends in the cold waters, and for once her small smile was not hidden by the mask that hung loosely about her neck..

Ohren is dunked under the water by the little fairy and tries to speak. He forgets he was under water.
 
"Blergpabololboghlglglglglglg!"
 
When he surfaces he is till talking. Mumbing about cold water and fairies and his belly hurting.
 
"Oh crap a race!!"
 
Ohren would resume his doggy paddle swim towards the edge of the water to beat the little fairy.

Glimmer paddles idly in the water turning 4 shades of pink as she tries to determine how best to swim.  She holds her breath for a mere second and squeels "FROGGIE! FROGGIE! FROGGIE!"  Glimmer begins stroking through the water in her best imitation of a frog, even shouting 'Ribbit Ribbit" with every stroke.
 

Ohren spins around in the water looking around frantically.
 
"FROGGIES!? WHERE!? MAAAAHHHHH FRRROGGGGIIEEE!!!!"
 
He keeps looking around trying to get a glimps of the frog he keeps hearing.

Glimmer giggles wildly and shouts 'Right here Ohren!  Ribbit Ribbit!"  She swims as quickly as she can for the shore, hoping to step out of the lake just before Ohren.

Ohren grumbles about people lying about seeing froggies. He swims to shore and walks out just after Glimmer does. He stands there in the icy cold, soaking wet.
 
"OOHBAAHH!! IS COLD!!!"
 
Ohren crosses his arms over his chest and shivers.

 Walking down to the pair, Katri laughs aloud. "That, Ohren, would be a hazard of swimming in winter. Both water and air tend to be cold during this particular time of year."
 
The Uordeq smiles and acknowledges the fae as well, "Hello, Miss Glimmer."
