[Elaine's eyes widen for a moment as well. A beat passes, and then she bursts into giggles. She ducks out of the screen for a second before she gets control of herself.]
Sorry. You've... I mean, do you know what a bathing suit is?
[Eleanor shuffles her feet awkwardly, not realizing what's so funny. She still probably doesn't know what year most of the people in wonderland are from. Though, even then she'd still be out of touch.]
Um... I think so...?
[Of course, what she's picturing is one of those bathing beauties outdated frilly bathing suits with the stripes and the rubber cap.]
... Though I don't think I'd want to wear one even if I had one.
[Elaine shakes her head, trying to not laugh again.] Rapture must be really different from the rest of the world.
I'll bring one along for you, and you can meet me at the pool okay? [She'll probably be giving her a very modest one that covers until half way down the thigh.] Just bring along your diving suit too, just in case.
Elaine arrives at the pool a bit later, already wearing her own swimsuit under her clothes.
"Hello." She gives Eleanor a smile, handing over a backpack. "There are changing rooms over there, by the side. I had to guess your size, but the bathing suit will probably fit." They're just about the same size anyway, so Elaine figures she probably got it right. She just hopes that Eleanor can figure out how to put the thing on properly.
Eleanor's got her helmet on the ground next to her and her suit still on. She accepts the bag cheerfully and nods to the other girl. "Alright! I'm sure it'll be perfect."
With that, she hurried over to the changing rooms, pausing to find her way, then disappeared into one. There was a moment of rustling and another pause, then "Um... Are you sure this is enough?"
There was another pause and some shuffling as Eleanor pulled the suit on. She examined herself in the mirror and couldn't help but find herself grinning. "It looks... Actually it looks... daring, really." If she were privy to such things she'd think she looked spacey or sci-fi, but instead she just finds the unique look new and interesting.
After she's done, she walks out and tries not to look too awkward wearing it in front of somebody else.
"Trust me when I say that it's all there." Heaven forbid the girl think that Elaine was trying to trick her into wearing something obscene.
When Eleanor comes out, Elaine is already sitting at the edge of the pool, her legs dangling over the side, half in the water. She's also wearing Elaenor's helmet. Without the rest of suit for it to attach to, it's dangling freely and an awful lot of weight, but it also looked so cool, and Elaine couldn't resist giving it a try.
She turns to look at Eleanor when she comes out of the room. Her grin is hidden by the helmet, and her voice sounds muffled, and echoes. "There's no need to look so nervous." After all, Elaine is wearing the same thing. "You look great. And they get a lot more revealing than that. Less constricting, too."
"I think I'll stick to this, then..." She had trouble imagining just how exactly they could get much more revealing than the form-fitting suit, but she decided that if Elaine wasn't concerned about it, there wasn't much to worry about. When she noticed Elaine wearing her helmet, she had to put her hand to her mouth to keep from laughing out loud. "Haha, careful with that! It's pretty heavy."
She walked over and sat next to Elaine before slipping into the water next to her. "Ah, it feels so weeeird~!" Eleanor giggled and pushed off of the side. "It's a lot colder than I thought it'd be!" As she floated on top of the water, though, she found herself closing her eyes and simply enjoying the feel of the water bobbing around her.
"Mm." Elaine takes off the helmet, watching Eleanor float. "You really like water, don't you? It's strange. Jack's wary of the sea, but I don't think you are. At least, not as much as him." She stays sitting on the edge of the pool, content to swing her feet back and forth in the water.

Mm, alright, then. I'll meet you there.
[She nods, and turns off the video feed before heading out toward the pool with her helmet in hand.]

She doesn't manage very easily.
