All unsettling discoveries aside, Clem's been having a pretty good camping trip. Getting away from school every now and then is good for her morale, and honestly as far as creepy encounters go this hasn't been the worst of them for her. Plus, Sy's here now! That increases her interest in any given activity by at least 50%.
When she'd dragged him down towards the water, she'd had the general intention of grabbing one of the boats and making their way out onto the lake (not that she's any good at fishing, honestly, but it's kind of like privacy). Before that had happened, though, she'd gotten distracted by one of her favorite lake-related activities: claiming she can skip stones further than anyone else can.
Whether or not she's just full of hot air remains to be seen, because she's still collecting skipping rocks. Most of the good ones are out in the water, but after sticking a single bare foot in she'd decided immediately that it was too cold. Which means her only option for retrieving rocks is talking Sy into doing it for her.
"Go get that one," she says, indicating a particularly smooth rock about three feet out into the lake. Persuasion is not a particular strong suit of hers.
