*is now wise to EV's tactics and moves away just in time*



*gets in a retaliatory strike while EV is distracted by the taunting*

Now go away or I shall have to taunt you a second time!

*is wearing his special waterproof white coat and therefore doesn't care*

*splosh*
*splash*
*splish*

*jumps about in a decidly excited fashion*

Yay puddles!

*grins like a big fool*

*splash*

I think big splashy puddles should be a permanent feature of the beer garden.

*splish*

I think you're right!

*notes that this is not an invitation for anyone reading this to dump her in the huge puddle just outside her window *

*splash*

*splosh*

Where's daSilva? I though he was going to join us?

*splish*

*splash*

*stops splashing and listens for footsteps*

*splishes quietly so as not to interfere with EV's listening*

I thought I heard him. Oh well... *splash* *splash* *splash*

*lines up a puddles hopscotch*

Splash! Splash! Splash! Splash!

*turns round and comes back*

Splosh! Splosh! Splosh! Splosh!

Can I play?

*is always willing to share as she was very well brought up*

Sure!

*was also very well brought up which is why he asked permission first*

*splash*
*splash*
*splash*
*SPLASH*

*sinks from view as fourth puddle turns out to be much deeper than expected*

Oh dear! That must have been the puddle I fell into last time.

Are you OK EV or do you need a hand to get out?

*splutters*
This coat isn't all that waterproof after all.
*climbs out*
*turns round*
*splosh*
*splosh*
*splosh*

How come that didn't happen to you?

Maybe I triggered off a subsidence?

Ah well, it was your turn to get wet anyway.

I think we're going to run hootoo out of dry towels if we're not careful.

I don't think there's much chance of that.

Anyway, you don't think you're getting off with staying reasonably dry, do you? *stands closer to Napnod and drips on her*

* away from EV*

Look out for that horse trough!
