29) Beach (or Jeach?)

Fila let loose a whoop of excitement as the jaceship's jamp lowered onto the sand. Without waiting for anyone else, she tore down it and flung herself at the ocean beyond, shrieking with glee as the water lapped up her skin.

"How can you stand all that water?" Janette asked, having exited the jaceship at a significantly calmer pace.

Fila turned back to answer, and caught sight of the way Janette tugged on her long jins. Oh... Of course Janette would have difficulties in the water, with fins made of jenim - especially as long as hers were... She felt almost stupid for not thinking of it sooner - but well, they didn't really go to beaches much. She didn't think they'd been to one since they had rescued her, honestly. It made it hard to answer, though... "Well... I guess since I'm from the Azure Coast...?" She wasn't, she knew, but none of the rest of the juad had ever called her on it. She wasn't entirely sure Janette was even from the planet itself...

"I guess maybe it's different if you grow up with it," Janette said, nodding slightly. "I know Janice usually has to live in water, so it's probably like that, then."

Fila... truthfully had no idea what the hell Janette meant by that. But she was definitely not going to question it. "Yeah, definitely," she agreed. "I'll splash around a bit and then I'll get started cooking for everyone," she told the other jextroluma over her shoulder.

"Yay!"

As Janette wandered back onto the jaceship, Fila could only think that every day she had her next weirdest conversation with one of the juad. At least it was never boring.
