The wind was blowing her curly hair every other direction, but Skyler could barely pay attention to it as she flew over the waves in her windsurf board.

"Woohoooo!"

The ocean was somewhat rough and the wind was making the flags snap violently, which only made it better. Her heart was racing and her legs ached from the constant strain they were being put through, but Skyler didn't care. She was flying.

Caught in the moment, she didn't realize that most windsurfers had retreated back to the beach. Skyler had never seen herself as a fan of sports, but this was different -- and also dangerous.

It only took a small distraction on her part and the rough winds did the rest. Skyler lost control of her board and floundered for a second, trying to regain control. Her attempts to make sure the board stayed upright were successful -- but she didn't foresee that the beach would be directly in her path.

A small, but deeply heartfelt 'shit' slipped out of her mouth as the board hit the sand and Skyler went flying, her whole life flashing before her eyes, and hit the sand, rolling a few times before coming to a stop.

There was someone looking down at her, but Skyler was still too dazed to react appropriately. "Hello. I'm Skyler Dross." She extended her hand, but she wasn't sure the movement was right. Her arm felt floppy.

[attr="class","irisThread"]iris is patrolling the beach when skyler enters, soaring out of nowhere. confronted with a stranger at her feet, she tilts her head as a hand's offered to her.
[break][break]"uh..." it takes a moment for words to come to her, "are you alright, ma'am?"
[break][break]
taking the woman's hand, iris attempts to help her up. she looks to the ocean--the general direction the stranger had come from--and then back to the woman. "what were you doing?"

Skyler's head was still kind of woozy, and so the first question barely registered. She watched as a female face materialized out of the shadow she'd seen looming over her.

The blonde had to blink a few times to gather her thoughts and make sense of this new upside down reality. "Err... Yes? Kind of dazed. But okay. I think." She tried to offer a smile, but her mouth was full of sand so she closed it immediately.

In truth she wasn't sure how okay she was, but there was no pain so far, so at least there was that. Skyler moved her fingers and her toes and then her arms and legs -- yes, everything seemed to be working properly..

She gladly took the woman's hands to pull herself into a vertical position again. As she did, a veritable waterfall of sand fell from her body to the floor. There was sand everywhere, she thought, taking a peek at the inside of her shirt. Everywhere.

"Flying, apparently," she replied to the dark-haired woman, trying to rub sand away from her wild hair. "I was windsurfing, but kind of lost control of the whole thing and, well..." She motioned to herself. "Kind of landed at your feet. Sorry about that." There was the shadow of a grin in her lips. "Bet you don't see that happen very often."

[attr="class","irisThread"]flying was one word for it--the woman had come in like a wingull. iris is still trying to process the last minute or so as skyler gets back on her feet. "i-it's fine..." she says numbly, a knee-jerk response since she's only been half listening.
[break][break]
a beat later and iris thinks she's just about understood what the woman's had to say. blue, her marshtomp, peers up at skyler curiously, apparently just as engrossed by her entrance.
[break][break]
"windsurfing?" she echoes. it's not something she's heard of before.

"Hmm..." Skyler tried to shake the sand from her hair by combing through it, but it was too entangled so she ended up giving up on the whole idea. The dark-haired girl seemed a bit dazed, which Skyler supposed was only normal when a stranger landed at your feet coming, seemingly, from the sky.

"Windsurf?" She repeated the question, blinking at the other girl for a few moments before a bright grin stretched her lips. "It's one of the best water sports in the world, of course!" She made this great gesture with her hands, then pointed out all the boards with small sails attached to them. "It's kind of like surfing, kind of like sailing. You use the sails and the wind to soar over the waves. Or, y'know, over the sand in case you're not careful." For the first time Skyler looked kind of sheepish.

The sand was everywhere and it was really annoying her, plus coupled with the hot temperatures it was making her feel itchy. With an annoyed sigh, she grabbed the bottom of her shirt and removed it, revealing the bikini top underneath. At least like this she could attempt to cool off a little bit.

[attr="class","irisThread"]iris follows the direction of skyler's finger, her gaze eventually sweeping over the sea as the woman explained the sport. on closer inspection, there were a number of others who seemed to be windsurfing. reluctantly, she finds herself interested.
[break][break]
skyler takes off her shirt, reminding iris of the current heat. "do you need a drink?" she asks, "i can get you one, there's a stall nearby."
[break][break]
honestly, she still felt a bit bad, witnessing that fall of hers...
