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.

[ Man...this was a little harsh. She should have factored that he was in way better shape then her but...hey, why not?

He stopped, pretending to catch his breath. ]

I'm gonna win! You'll [ Huff ] see. [ Heh, at least until she started running again. ]

[mightletyouknowme]

[Wait, she CAN still win. Grinning, she's still running, basket held out safely.

She does, though, run much like girls are portrayed as running.]

[second_star]

[ Looked like she was back at his side. No time to feel bad now. He got up from his "tired" position, sprinting after her until he was side by side. ]

Well, you almost won, at least. [ He shot her a smile, before running past her and sliding back into their starting point. ]

1st place.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She walks the rest of the way, the bucket dropped beside him, her lips pressed together.]

It was close! I would win next time!

[second_star]

Sure you would, Sena. [ He gave a small laugh, as he pat her on the head. ]

Any other games?

[mightletyouknowme]

Hmph! [She's not a dog! But she is breathing hard. She needs to buy time to regain her energy.]

Don't you have any?

[second_star]

Last time I went swimming like this, I'm pretty sure I was 14 or something. I don't remember we played back then.

[mightletyouknowme]

We can build stuff with a sand. I already did a castle, though. Or we could play ball in the water. Collect shells...

[She sounds like she's naming something from a list.]

[second_star]

[ He didn't know if he found any of those really fun, but...She looked like she was just enjoying being here, so he wasn't going to ruin it. ]

Let's build more castles, then. Bigger ones.

[mightletyouknowme]

Then we'll add to it! [She has to do bigger and better, too.] We'll do a treasure hunt to fill the treasure room!

[second_star]

Not sure you're gonna find much treasure around here. [ He smiled anyway, grabbing one of the buckets, beginning to fill it up with sand. ]

[mightletyouknowme]

Make the barricade, I'm going to look for some more shells in the water.

[For the room and secretly for her bracelet/necklace. She liked the idea.]

[second_star]

Arrgh. Aye aye, Captain Sena! [ He started to add on more to the castle, humming a very..."pirate-y" tune as he went. ]

You should save some shells to take back home.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She hears him singing and laughs as she begins to look.

Captain Sena. She liked that.

If he looked, he would sometimes see her looking over at him, checking it out.]

[second_star]

[ He's already got quite a pile going. Looks less like a castle and more like a house, though. ]

So, do you do things like this with your friends back home?

[mightletyouknowme]

[She moves beside him, hands going to try to reshape some edges.]

I don't have any. [It's easy enough to be honest about that now.] A castle has to be bigger and it looks different.

[second_star]

Excuse me for not knowing how to build a castle. [ He grinned anyway, though. ]

Besides, you have friends. What, am I not good enough?

[mightletyouknowme]

They have them here, right?

Idiot. I meant back at home.

[But she's smiling. She never got to use the word before she came here.]

[second_star]

It's been years since I did this, you think I'd remember? I was like...what...14? Maybe?

Point is, I forgot.

[mightletyouknowme]

[She made one tower.] More of these, just different sizes. We need to make windows, too.

[second_star]

We don't need windows, no one's going to live in it.

[mightletyouknowme]

Of course we need windows! What kind of castle doesn't have windows?!

[second_star]

A sand castle. [ Grin. ]

[mightletyouknowme]

Only a bad sand castle!

[mightletyouknowme]

Only a bad sand castle!
