"... Oh, Hi! You're talking to Rakka, but, uh, if you're hearing this then it means I can't answer the pokegear right now. Don't worry. Just make sure you leave a message and I'll reply to it!"

Beep!

[Penny has no rational reason to fear the ocean anymore, she knows. Not outside of those weird, biennial weekends anyway. It's just a lot of water. A LOT of water, which is very deep, and effectively bottomless, and stretches out past the visible horizon.]

[It's fine, this is fine.]

Rakka? I'm ready.

...Hopefully, they will get to that part.]

Safety is very important, Rakka.

[charcoalfeather]

O-of course it is! But, um...

[She needs to put this as politely as possible, it's her girlfriend...]

We're only going to start in the part of the beach where the water isn't that deep.

[Rakka, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.]

[Your girlfriend is, sometimes, an idiot. When facing deeply ingrained fear of water and short-circuiting is one of those times.]

I know, just-

[She fidgets a little bit, adjusting her life jacket]

There. Could be. Riptides? ...I'm being silly, aren't I.
