you gotta swim,

swim for the music that saves you when you're not so sure you'll survive you've gotta swim and swim when it hurts the whole world is watching you haven't come this far to fall off the earth---------------------------

Lykos sat at the edge of Euros Creek, his shorts hitched up a little bit so that he could dangle his feet in the water without soaking the denim. Denim was a horrible little bugger to walk around in when wet. He kept his feet still, and stared at their refracted image, swearing that he could feel small fish swim around them. If only it was slightly warmer and he wasn't meant to be helping in the infirmary; he might have actually gotten to swim. Lyle loved swimming. He swung his legs out of the water, and lay back on the grassy bank, to distract himself from the stream. If he wasn't careful, he'd end up head over heels in it, just like so many times before. He really didn't need to be wet today, even if he wanted to be. Staring up at the clouds, he made out shapes in the sky whilst humming the introduction to 'The Power of Love' by Huey Lewis&The News. It was bliss, and Lyle was happy to admit to himself that pretty much every day had been blissful since he'd arrived at Camp. Thus, he'd made it his mission to help others to feel the same joy he felt. He was a Doctor in training; all he wanted to do was improve people's lives.

Lyle propped himself up on his elbows, spotting a girl on the opposite bank of the creek. She didn't seem too much of a happy person, although he might just be stereotyping her general look. Black hair, red eyes [[he guessed due to contact lenses, but you never knew with demi-gods]] and a lot of dark clothing, Lyle guessed that she was certainly no happy bunny. Of course, that was stereotyping; he knew a lot of happy people who looked similar. But there was something about this girl that made him think she wasn't thinking about how psyched she was about the next Pokémon episode.
"Hey! You okay over there?" he called over, waving at the girl. Lykos always made it his business to create happiness for other people, or help them with their problems. It was part of his healing nature; he felt compelled to do it. Of course, this made him come off as overly-eager and generally annoying which wasn't exactly a good feature to his social life, but it was in his nature. You can't change nature.
