There was good shelter beneath the umbrellas, and Joan took to it gladly. She wouldn't burst into flames the way Natasha undoubtedly would, but she was shy of the sun nonetheless when it was this hot. She planned on taking a swim soon enough, but first she wanted to relax in the sand, and also let the sunscreen set. Maybe get a drink or two from the staff of the beach-side cafes littering the shore.
She dug into her bag and pulled out some hairpins, gathering her hair up and piling it atop her head. "Alright, I suppose," she said, sliding a few pins into her ramshackle bun. "I've mostly stayed at the hotel instead of going back home. Things got a bit messy back there. I'm taking an extended vacation."
Hair secure, she picked up the bottle of lotion. "What about you?" she asked, depositing a small dollop in her hand and, without being asked, beginning to spread it between Natasha's shoulders.
