"Why are you so excited?" Laurel asked, confused.

[Kaliko]

"You've really never heard of Costa Rica?" Raven asked. "It's one of those places everyone wants to go to before they die."

[Rinrou]

"Hmm..." Laurel mused, "I haven't had much time to think of things like that," she replied honestly, "Why's it so special?"

[Kaliko]

So Raven started telling Laurel about Costa Rica and what you could do there.

[Rinrou]

Laurel seemed pretty passive about it. "That sounds like fun," she replied with a nod, "I wonder where's Kandy's resort is..."

[Kaliko]

Raven didn't let Laurel's passivity get him down. He shrugged in response to Laurel's question.

[Rinrou]

"But it has lots of water, right?" Laurel suddenly asked.

[Kaliko]

"Well..." Raven muttered, "... It's not an island."

[Rinrou]

Laurel nodded, "I've never played on the water before," she told him after a moment, "It sounds like... a good change in pace."

[Kaliko]

Raven blinked, he had been thinking of something else. "Really?" he asked before grinning again. "I think you'll like it."

[Rinrou]

Laurel nodded, "Yeah, Nic and I have been so uptight for so long... I think this is coming at the right time."

[Kaliko]

Raven tried to picture Nic on the beach. It wasn't working. So he shrugged it off. "Maybe we'll all have a chance to wind down," he said, hoping he wasn't jinxing it.

[Rinrou]

Laurel smiled a bit at that, "Yeah..." she paused before patting the couch beside her, "Come sit here."

[Kaliko]

So Raven forced himself to get up. He went over and squeezed himself next to Laurel on the couch.

[Rinrou]

Laurel smiled a little bigger, "So what's going on between you and Wolfe?" she gossiped quietly, "I've been hearing rumors."

[Kaliko]

Raven chuckled a little before giving Laurel a brief overview of what had been happening between him and Wolfe.
