"I thought I would check out the pool before things got crowded," Haruka replied. "It's a bit easier to feel your way around when there isn't anyone to bump into you or wonder why you seem so fascinated with pool edges. And if I accidentally bash my head testing the water, I'm the only witness to my opps." She seemed to pause and turn her head upwards. "I guess now I have a witness to take care of if that does happen. Darn."

Haruka was confident she wouldn't be bumping into much, though.
