[ no ]

... what's something you enjoy doing?

[divus]

[



it's been a really long time since she's been able to think about hobbies, okay. She goes quiet for a few long moments, deep in thought. ...is this really something she should have to think so hard about...?]

I liked going to the beach a lot when I was younger... and playing by the river.

[bakaomi]

[ it's okay he will just........ wait for her............ to come up with something....

............... ]

You mean, like the one conveniently over there?

[divus]

...

[look, taka]

This is where I grew up! Does it look like there's much else to do around here?

[is it really so strange that her hobbies involve what happens to be nearby...]

[bakaomi]

[ okay that makes him smile a bit ]

No, I mean... let's go?

[divus]

Oh!

[Fortune perks up at that, then nods.]

Race you there!

[...don't mind her zooming on out of there]

[bakaomi]

[ kfkslgdsg ]

Oi!

[ HE RUNS AFTER HER

FORTUNE YOU CHEATING BINCH ]

[divus]

[LAUGHING

anyway out to the river they go, it's closest]

[bakaomi]

[ once they reach it he slows down ]

You little...

[divus]

Hee hee!

[How does she even run so fast in these stupid robes, it's a mystery.

Anyway she's sitting by the riverbank and taking off her shoes, which are the type of leather boots you might see in a fantasy canon.]

Sorry, was that too sudden?

[bakaomi]

[ he sticks his tongue out??

but also goes to take off his own shoes ]

[divus]

[tilts her mask up off her face just enough to stick her tongue out at him before putting it back down

then finishes taking off her shoes]

[bakaomi]

[ okay he has to

duck his head to hide another laugh from that ]

[divus]

[SUCCESS.

anyway, with the boots off, she just wades right into the water. Who cares about these robes? She can dry them off later anyway.]

[bakaomi]

[ he watches for a second before following in after her since... sneakers are easier to take off ]

[divus]

[she leans down and puts her hands into the river...

...her expression is probably mischievous behind her mask]

Want to have a water fight?

[bakaomi]

Are we going to have one regardless of what I say?

[ he knows how these things work ]

[divus]

If you really don't want to, we can find something else to do.

[bakaomi]

[ kicks water at her ]

[divus]

...!

[SHE'S SO SURPRISED SHE JERKS BACK AND JUST FALLS INTO THE DANG RIVER

quick francy flip a coin, heads or tails]

[bakaomi]

[ tails

but also he laughs ]

[divus]

[well.

that sure is her mask floating away down the river.

when she pops up out of the water, she's laughing too, and doesn't seem to realize the mask is gone yet]

You surprised me!

[bakaomi]

[ oh

he blinks in surprise, a small blush creeping on his skin but he shakes his head. ]

... hold on.

[ HE'S GOING TO FUCKIN

CHASE AFTER THE MASK ]

[divus]

Huh...?

[her gaze follows where he's running and -]

Oh!

[Oops. She chases after it too, all the better to get it put back on once they catch up to it.]

I didn't realize it would actually come off... it's not supposed to do that in public?

[bakaomi]

Is there any reason for it to get loose?

[ he has no idea how weird mask magic works ]
