Drabble: An afternoon flows by, this way

Rohini stood by the pond, absently throwing pebbles into the water. She smiled brightly when she noticed him, "I'm trying to get back at the water sprite. Join me?" He took the offered gravel. "Pray, what has the little sprite done to offend you so?" She flicked another pebble at the pond -- it bounced twice before it disappeared -- and shrugged: "Nothing. I was bored”

He laughed, and flung his pebble as far as he could, triggering an unspoken competition of who’d throw the stone farthest. Somewhere between the banter, she said, “Advait? I’m glad you’re here.”
