"A mall expert would have to be proficient in many subjects," Dean points out. "You'd need to be able to make recommendations on inventory stocking for any store, predict patron traffic. You'd need a strong grasp of psychology of how to draw in shoppers and maximize sales. Design work, engineering, mathematics, utility management... And you wouldn't be able to just draw on your own preferences to recommend products, either, because people have a lot of choice."
Floyd, Sam
"I guess you could say that, yeah, but it's not like it's a big deal." Freya crosses her arms and turns up her nose. "I... I could handle a dozen more cookies, easy!"
"What are you two talking about...? That many cookies would make you sick." Ilya shrugs and shakes her head. "If we're done here, then I'll be on my way. I'm going to go swimming."

Floyd's eyes linger curiously on Sam "Yeah I don't think you'll be winning many more races if you eat dozens of cookies......" He nods before turning to Ilya "Oh swimming? Are you going to the beach?"

"Why would I do such a thing? There is no need to spend money on the bus." Ilya lifts up her shirt and tosses it aside, revealing her swimsuit underneath. "There is a perfectly serviceable river right here, no? The jog was a warm-up."

"And you can learn all of that stuff through books? Huh. Dude that's killer."

"To a degree. A book is an excellent place to start, especially for a beginner to a subject. Though you can only go so far on theory, eventually you need practice and experience to grow sufficiently..." Dean flips his phone a few times, thinking. "You have a lot of potential. Do you have a particular self-improvement plan, or do you just do whatever you feel like? Because I could make a few recommendations."

"I was not expecting any of you to join me. It is cold outside. Getting in the river now when you are not used to the cold would end poorly for you."

"I mean if it's that cold won't it be dangerous for you two?" Floyd looks to Freya for back-up

"It will not." With that, Ilya finishes setting her clothes aside.
"I dunno, I think he may be-" Freya begins. She stops as Ily turns to the river, takes a few steps out onto the docks, then dives in.
She emerges a few moments later, rolling lazily onto her back and beginning a slow backstroke. "I am used to the cold. Water or ice, it is not so different."
"That looks... really unpleasant," Freya admits.

Dean pauses as you hear a splash in the distance. Glancing over, you see one of the older blonde students swimming in the freezing river. Seems she trying the same thing, except she's doing it wrong and trying to go upstream.
"Well, going with the flow is all well and good, but if you ever decide you want a metaphorical oar I could recommend a few good self-improvement books," Dean says. "In the meantime, I'll leave you to your... poptarts."

"Yeah, give me your number one pick."
He looks down, then up at Dean.
"You want some? Some tarts? I got all sorts of flavors. And milk."

"No, thank you. I'm supposed to meet someone for dinner later, I don't want to spoil my appetite."
Karl and Dean gained Relationship Rank 2!
"Bye, Karl." Dean leaves with a few parting words, leaving you in the park in the late afternoon.

Sam
Sam was busying day dreaming about Cookies or something until she saw Ilya take a dive into the water.
"Wait are you going to be okay?". "Should we stop her?". "She's not going to get sick from swimming in the cold water is she," Sam asks

"Eh, I'm sure she's fine," Freya says. "It'd be bad for you swimming in this cold, yeah, but I could handle it and she seems to know what she's doing. Besides, isn't she from, like, Russia or Norway or something? Pretty sure this is still warmer than what they normally swim in."
