( I still don't get it... pm me please. ) " Yeah. " Dean said quietly to her, then repeated, " Yeah. " He nodded and sort of loosened his grip on her hand as he leaned down and pet BK. " Are you sure you're okay? " He asked, his eyes going back up to meet hers. Dean didn't exactly know the follow-up questions if you were there and a gilr sort of freaked out a little bit. Just a little. He grabbed Bk up in one hand and handed him to Keag. The cat seemed like it could sense it's owners... distraughtness? Whatever it was, it wanted Keag.

"I'm fine," Keagan replied as she accepted BK into her arms from Dean. "I just know I'm not ready for another relationship right now. It wouldn't work...I'm sorry." Looking down to the ground, she nuzzled against the cat's head, hugging him to her. It was ironic; the one thing that should've reminded her the most of Dan was actually the thing that comforted her the most; she really had adopted BK as her own.

" It's ok. We're cool, though, right? " Dean asked Keagan. Even if nothing happened for now he still wanted to make sure they were cool and all. Plus they could still hang out... As Dean thought about it he mentally beraded himself. He should have known it was a completely stupid move of his to do something like this. He should have waited, so now he would have to. But he didn't mind too much. When Keagan was ready he could be too.

"Totally cool. Why wouldn't we be?" Keag replied smiling at him from behind BK's furry head. The pressure was off, at least for the time being, and that was kind of a relief to Keagan. She'd leave the sorting of her feelings for later. She had a friendship to build; she only hoped Dean wouldn't beat himself up over this setback. It would pain her to hurt him, even if they only barely knew each other. Or rather, especially because they barely knew each other.

" What? Oh, I dunno. " Dean said to her, smiling as he saw her head behind BK's. It looked rather funny. He grinned slightly and said, " So, wanna keep walkin'? " He asked her, pointing out to over the Lake. " I promise I will not push you in. " Dean told her with a grin. He wouldn't push BK in either, but he was not completely against going for a swim. So he suggested it, " Wanna swim? " He asked.

Giving BK a final comforting nuzzle, Keagan had begun to nod to Dean's suggestion to keep walking. However, he made another suggestion rather quickly, and she stopped mid-nod. "I'm not exactly dressed for swimming," she replied, ignoring for the moment that fact that, as a witch, something so trivial was definitely possible. Truth was, she wasn't much of a swimmer. Until Hogwarts, she had never been involved in sports and such at all, and she couldn't remember the last time she'd been submerged in water, if ever.

Dean looked back to Keag as she said she wasn't dressed for swimming. He grinned slightly and said, " Well, neither am I but.... " Dean pulled his wand out of his pocket where it lay unused. He concentrated and about half a minute later Dean had his swimming trunks in his hand. " Come on, Keag. It'll be fun. " He said, thinking it would be. Dean had been on the swim team for 7 years, so he was an excellent swimmer. He loved the feeling of the water moving all around him.

Keag's expression turned thoughtful as she tried to figure out another way around this situation without slogging right through the truth, but she decided there wasn't an adequate one. "Truth be told, I'm not sure I can...," she stated, frowning slightly as she let BK leap out of her arms to the ground. Straightening again, she tugged on her light blue t-shirt around her waist, a nervous habit that seemed to develop when she wasn't wearing a skirt to tug on.

" Really? " Dean asked, suprised by her responce. He hadn't met too many people that couldn't swim. Maybe he could teach her...? " I'll help. I mean, teach you. " Dean said, his words mixing up again and he sorted them out. " Well, if you'd rather not then... " He said, not really wanting to have her do anything she didn't really feel like doing. He noticed her lightly tugging on her shirt, he didn't really know what to make of it.

"Maybe some other time...," Keag wasn't too sure she wanted to jump into a bathin suit in front of her new acquaintance quite so early in the relationship. She then realized that she was doing it again, pushing him away. "Gah, what am I saying?! I feel like such a spoil-sport," Keagan muttered, stabbing the toe of her tennis shoe into the ground as she kicked at a rock that wasn't really there. "I marvel that you're even still hanging around me."

" Nah, it's cool. I understand. " Dean said to her, his bobbing slightly as he nodded. He did actually get it, she didn't want to, he wasn't going to push her into it so... When he heard Keag mutter something a bit under her breath Dean didn't really catch what she was saying but he did hear her next comment. " What's that? Why? " He asked, truely curious. Keag seemed cool to hang out with, that was reason enough for Dean to stick around, he thought.

"Everything you suggest, I shoot down. If someone did that to me, I'd probaby be insulted and think that they just didn't want to spend time with me. Who knows if I'd be right or not, but it's how I would feel," she replied, restating her previously muttered comments. Since when had Keag become a party pooper rather than the party lover? There was probably a pretty simple answer to that...she had to get this straightened out somehow...

Dean shrugged at her comments. That just wasn't how he felt, he wasn't really sure why but he still didn't feel like that. " I guess since you just sort of had a little thing back there I don't really expect you to want to do too much. " He said to her, shrugging once more. " The swimming thing was just because I was looking for something else to do and the lake looked rather welcoming and right in front of us... " Dean finished with a small friendly grin.

"So maybe if we find something else that looks inviting, you'd rather do that?" she asked, not that she had any idea what they might possibly find to do instead of simply walk. This was why she always seemed to be bored at school; she was always looking for something to do, but found reasons not to do the things that were available to be doing.

" I'm fine doing whatever. It's kinda what you want to do. Get my meaning? " He asked her, thinking obviously that she did. Dean was fine with just simply walking around, he meerly thought the Lake might look more... inviting perhaps? He didn't really know. Just another thing to do, he thought with a shrug. Dean watched BK as the cat walked a little bit away from the two. If anything, the cat looked very bored of the two and Dean grinned.
