Yeah... Ones I'd been hoping to avoid here. At least, I wanted the choice of avoiding them. It didn't quite work out, though.

[She grins awkwardly. The best thing to do is not dwell on it too long, right?]

I just hope they're not all so depressingly cheerful. I'm sure my mother loved it, though.

But anyway, do you want to go swimming today? I was working on something but it shouldn't up and leave any time soon.

[She smiles, looking cheerful again. There's some scattered mechanical junk on her desk, but that's it. She hasn't seen a bathing suit before, though, so someone might have to tell her she can wear something other than her diving suit for it.]

[OOC: We can pretend their last encounter involving "teaching Elaine how to swim" was just showing her by example. Also be back later.]
