Beach - Sunday Afternoon

Jacob was rapidly starting to hate this weather. Maybe the island should move to Antarctica or the North Pole or something. Wait no, the North Pole was melting too. Antarctica then. Where it was nice and chilly. He'd made a stop at Chilly Boulder and was now eating his ice cream on the beach. Even the sand felt almost too hot to his feet and as soon as the ice cream was finished, he was going to be in the water.

Stupid Summer.

"I strive to be unique," she said, very dryly.

"If that's the word you want to use for it," he said with a laugh and let the next wave pull him underwater for a moment.

She watched him for a moment before taking a seat on the sand. Back straight, ankles crossed, and contented herself with watching the ocean.

He came up a while later, shaking water in all directions. Too bad she was too far off and well, he was just going to show off now. He jumped backwards, making an effortless salto before he hit the water with another splash.

Way, way better than sitting in the sand overheating.

"How about getting your feet wet?" he called back. "You don't need a swimsuit for that."

"Dress pants don't roll up very well," she replied, amused at his showing off. Untrained, but not unskilled.

What a waste.

"Not very well works too," he reasoned. "Stop coming up with excuses."

"Arlight," she said. "How about 'I don't want to'."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 09:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"Fair enough," he agreed, closing his eyes as he just floated for a moment. "Your loss."

Rosalind rolled her eyes to the sky and ignored him.

He was perfectly fine letting time slide past without speaking. The water was doing its job of cooling him down and he was perfectly at ease with the quiet.

It was a while later before he finally asked, "So did you like the dance? Or was it a complete waste of time?"

She looked at him for a moment.

"Does my answer matter to you?"

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"Would I ask if it didn't?" he shot back.

[identity profile] give-areason.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"How would I know?" she scathed back. "Most of what you do makes little sense to me."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
He snorted. "You're one to talk," he said and he let his feet find the sandy underground again, moving closer to her but staying in the water. "It's fairly simple. If I don't give a fuck, I won't bother."

[identity profile] give-areason.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"I," she said crisply, "make perfect sense."

To herself.

"The dance was not intolerable."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
"Sure sure," he said in his usually patronising way and then ignored the remark.

"Glad you liked it," he laughed. "I didn't screw up too badly then."

[identity profile] give-areason.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"You had me for a dance," she pointed out. "Not as a date."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm very much aware," he assured her. "Doesn't mean I couldn't have messed up anyway."

[identity profile] give-areason.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
She rolled her eyes.

"Then, by all means, be proud of yourself."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh sure, suck the fun out of it," he sighed and fell back with a splash. "So are you on a break or did you run out of work?"

[identity profile] give-areason.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:27 pm (UTC)(link)
"I like the ocean," she said, smiling very faintly. "I visit it frequently."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
He filed that away somewhere, sure it would come in handy in some future argument. "Are there oceans on Gaia?"

[identity profile] give-areason.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
She looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Yes, though none so close to where I live."

[identity profile] need-no-moon.livejournal.com 2010-06-27 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
What? Different world, it could be sandy or something. Like he knew.

"La Push's right next to the water," he said. "My tribe used to be whalers."
