"Australia..." Alex trails off, thinking it over. Eventually he does decide he'll at least check it out sometime.

"I would like to come out here more," Alex remarks. "But work and school keep me out on the east coast. I had the day off today so I could come by."

"Oh that sucks.." replies Avalon. "I mean.. I understand of course, I was just more trying to encourage you to come and visit more often. That or I shall have to get Henry to make the time to go with me to see you. I need to get out more - I've also enjoyed your being about."

Alex nods, chuckling a little. "I know," he says, laying back to float. "Hanging out with you is fun, ya know."

That just makes Ava flush a bit, and he gives Ales a bit of a shy smile as he says "Well.. thank you." he says softy. "I am doing my best to be fun, I am glad to hear I am succeeding in my endeavor."

"You don't have to try," Alex snickers. "You just are," he goes on. "You shouldn't worry so much about interacting with others. YOu're great."

"Am I?" asks Avalon softly, looking rather shy. "Thank you.. I appreciate it." He splashes a bit at Alex, and then grins as a wave comes in and pushes him towards the other teen. This all causes him to laugh and he bumps into the other teen playfully.

"Yes," Alex replies with a small roll of the eyes. "And you don't have to thank me for it," he says. The splashing is fended off with a raised arm and Alex quickly grabs onto Ava as he's bumped into. "Gotcha."

Having too much of a good time to bother with caring if it's proper or not, Avalon leans in against Alex as he continues to laugh. "Thanks.." he then says with a giggle before he rights himself and starts splashing more at Alex. "Did you bring a board with you?" he asks, "I'd feel bad if you didn't get a chance to catch a wave or two while here."

Alex holds onto Ava for a few moments and then laughs. Splashing back, he shakes his head. "No, sadly. I didn't think I'd get a chance for a beach trip."

"We can always go fetch it." orders Ava, trying to be helpful. He then looks down and gives another giggle before he says "Sand feels so odd squishing between my toes. I know that it's probably old hat for you, but it's all still rather new to me."
