Jax smiled, swimming with the girl to the side of the pool. "That's good." He helped her out of the pool, and followed suit himself.
"That was your brother who pushed you in, right? I'll talk to 'im and make sure you don't fall in again."
Jax shook his head, trying to get some of the water out of his hair.
She nodded. "I don't think he meant to." she clarified, coughing again and taking in a deep breath. "He's just…excited." she offered up a wan smile. "Besides, it's not his fault that I can't swim."

Jax nodded, raising his eyebrows. "You want me to teach you t' swim sometime?" He glanced up to another lifeguard's chair, where its occupant was eyeing him.
"I gotta go back to work now, but I can come down on my break!"
She blinked. "Oh, I…" she trailed off, thinking. "It depends on when, I've got a job and I can't just quit that…but I'd love it if you could teach me at least the basics?"

Jax grinned, standing up as he prepared to head back to his spot. "My break's in an hour, will you still be there then? We can arrange it more from there. Oh, and I don't think I got your name? I'm Jax."
Cory nodded a little bit, pushing herself up to a standing position. "I'm pretty sure I will, yeah." she replied, glancing over at where her family was setting up their stuff. "I'm Cordelia. Cory is fine, though." she smiled a bit.
