[When she starts to explore the west wing, she's in a better mood than she's had for a while. It shows in the smile she wears as she realizes there's an ocean here, immediately heading towards the water once she does.
She sees Ray when she's already taken her shoes off in order to step into the shallow water, toes buried in the sand. When she sees him, she offers a wave.]
[ray doesn't know if the ocean even exists in his version of earth, so he's aware that this is probably the only chance he'll ever get to see the ocean—which means he's pretty fascinated right now.
Yeah. That's how he always treated my brother. Like, 'I just want to you to succeed, so I'm going to be awful to you until you do!', that kind of thing.

[With that out of the way, she's heading towards the water, giving a small noise of contentment once she's wading in.]
no subject
[with his shoes and socks off, he follows after her into the water.]
no subject
[Some of that irritation is fading from her voice as she goes on, though, as she glances his way.]
How do you like it?
no subject
[...]
It's nice. One thing to see photos of it and another to experience it in person.
no subject
[It's hard to keep her voice neutral as she says that, but it's back to normal as she continues.]
Did you bring your camera?

[at the question, he blinks.]
Hmm? Ah, yeah.

Come on, let's take a selfie.
[A thing that Ray will absolutely understand.]

Changed my mind, I'm getting in here too. Also, you better smile.
no subject
[snap! and look, he's even smiling, even if it's ray which means his smiles usually look smarmy by default.]
no subject
Cool. Now you can start a scrapbook or whatever.
