RL w/ Sena

[second_star]

[ They agreed to meet outside the Pollux, right? She better not had forgotten the name, there was no telling where else she'd end up. It took him forever to give the party an excuse to be alone for a while. Not to mention he'd just be felt standing outside here like a total bum. Which he was.

But that wasn't the point.

He looked up. The dark clouds covering the city were definitely not going to leave anytime soon. Jeez, it was going to be weird explaining to her that it was only raining inside the city...well, she was going to be swimming later anyway, wasn't like getting a little wet was going to be too bad for her. He closed his eyes, leaning against the wall next to the inn entrance. Any minute now.

[ He just stares, shaking his head before following her, calling out to her. ]

It's just water, it's not going to attack you, you know.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She stopped and turned, her hands going to her now displayed hips.]

I know what water is!

[second_star]

Then why are you acting so weird? Just jump in, no need to mentally prepare like it's a fight.

[mightletyouknowme]

I have to do this part right!

[second_star]

...Why?

[mightletyouknowme]

B..because! [So there, Yuri, so there!]

It's how it's suppose to go.

[second_star]

[ Well, if she said so. ]

Alright then. Show me how to do it so I can too.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She went to stand beside him, hands on her hips.] Then we'll do it as a group. When I say go, we'll both run into the waves.

[second_star]

[ Okay, that didn't explain why they were doing this. ]

Sounds easy enough, but...is this some sort of weird tradition from your world?

[mightletyouknowme]

We'll understand it better after we do it. [She's sure of it!] It's just something friends do.

So, get ready.

[second_star]

[ In all his twenty-one years of living...

This was never something he did with friends.

Well, there was a first time for everything. ]

On your mark, then.

[mightletyouknowme]

[It's your fault for taking so long to meet Sena, Yuri!

Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, she looks out to the water far too seriously.]

Next time, I won't count. We have to learn to do it anyway.

Three, two, one, go! [And she was running, her eyes sliding to the side to see if they matched up.]

[second_star]

[ Well, not like he had any shame anyway. ]

[ He ran along side her, his eyes concentrating on the waves before him. He picked up speed, before jumping high into the water.

...His laughter could be heard. ]

Jeez, haven't done that in years.

[mightletyouknowme]

[Sena would try too, surprised because she reacted before she thought. Of course, she didn't get as high as he did. Not fighting monsters would do that to a girl.

Landing, she came back up, a slight smile on her face.]

Why did you do that?!

[second_star]

[ He replied, hair covering the front of his face, blocking his vision. ]

It looked like it'd be more fun that running in.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She splashed him, easily keeping afloat.]

You should have warned me first! I could have jumped better!

[second_star]

[ He was already on his back, not minding the splash. ]

Sure you could have. [ He looked up to the sky, before continuing. Stay closer to the shore. If you go too deep, you run the risk of attracting mermen. And my sword- [ He took a moment to point back to where her own bag was. ] Is way over there.

[mightletyouknowme]

[And suddenly Sena is right beside him.]

Eh?! There's monsters in the water too?!

[second_star]

[ He didn't seem to worried. ]

Monsters are everywhere. I thought I said that. Besides, we'll be fine if we stay near the shore.

[mightletyouknowme]

I didn't know you meant the water...! [She someone has perfected the half yell, half mumble.

But she begins to swim around him a bit.]

What are the shells like here?

[second_star]

[ Shells? ]

Uh...I don't know, really. I never paid attention. Probably just like yours, you know. Just like how this ocean isn't much different from yours, probably.

[mightletyouknowme]

We have monsters. There has to be other stuff that's different too.

[She held up one finger and smiled before diving under. It shouldn't be that far down, this close to shore.]

[second_star]

[ Well, she did have a point. His eyes followed her as she went under the water, before he gave a small shrug, and did the same.

Shells, huh?

He grabbed the first one that caught his eye, a simple, blue and white colored one, returning to the top of the water. ]

You got ones like this?

[mightletyouknowme]

[It takes her a few more seconds since the pool doesn't allow for a lot of diving but when she comes back up, it looks like she's holding one of the same color.

There's a frown on her face.]

I thought they would look different...

[second_star]

[ He looks between the two shells, before giving a small smile. ]

Oh, come on. Isn't the fact that they look the same kind of cool, though? [ He swam closer, handing her his. ]

Besides, they match your hair dec.
