I - Gods, What a Day... [Ka'Pandol, end of June]

The flooding of the underwater city could've been worse if the otherworlders hadn't agreed to help. Those of House Eos aided their fellow otherworlders wherever they could - either by reaching the underwater levers, or helping with evacuating the civilians.

However, none of them expected to run into this world's version of the one they call 'The Tidemother'. Not many of their number has many happy memories, if any, related to that being. Thus, once the worst has passed and all dangers have passed, one could find them at this bar or that establishment, reaching for a bottle or two.

Though they would not refuse anyone that wish to join their company.


II - Pastoral Rhapsody [Yun'Ashia, July]

Home still calls, though, and it's not long before one could find the Eos House back on the farm that they recently purchase. One would think that it's just yet another chocobo farm, since there seems to be several chocobos living there now. Several sections of land are being tilled for various sundry plants, and the fence that divided the once-two properties is slowly being taken down to formalize the new, larger farm between the two houses. Guests are always welcomed at either of the large homes that they now own...

Dawn training, however, continues to fill the air with the sound of spells cast and wooden weapons clanking loudly against each other. They apologize in advance to any neighbors that might still be within hearing distance of them.


III - Surf's up! [A beach within the Yun'Ashia area, July]

A day does come, though, when they do decide to go back into the water.

Or at least, to the water's edge. The summer weather has finally gotten to them all, and it soon became too much to resist. Thus, on one of the less crowded beaches near Yun'Ashia, one could find a certain group setting up their beach blankets and stripping down to their swimsuits. There's food packed in picnic baskets and plenty of sunscreen thanks to Certain Concerned Individuals. Nothing but fun, sun, and surf...and maybe some additional company. What could go wrong?


IV - Wildcard

[Amber eyes twinkling with mirth track Ravus' progress. "Saturated" is a good look on him, Gladio thinks, and he opens his mouth to make another smartass comment but the failed tackle cuts him off.

Instead of swimming out of reach, he reaches into the water and tries to help lift Ravus back to the surface from his undignified flop.]

We'll have to make sure you spend more time in water... [The words are spoken largely to himself, but if Ravus hears them it's no bother to Gladio.

When Ravus is back on his feet, if he looks to Gladio he'll see the Shield smiling brightly, water dripping from his soaked hair onto his shoulders and down his chest. Gladio's cheeks will be slightly flushed from the mindless joy of playing in the ocean with someone he cares about.]

You missed. [A wink.] Try again. [Gladio doesn't move a muscle, curious to see how Ravus will enact his watery revenge.]

[sonoftenebrae]

[Ravus flails his arms as he slips into the water and comes up fuming. That. Is. It.

Cursing the lack of superhuman strength that would let him fling Gladio back to the shore, he reaches out to shove Gladio's shoulders. Beneath the water, he hooks his foot behind one of Gladio's ankles to try to sweep his leg out from under him as he puts his pull body weight into the push. He's going to get pulled down into the water when he fells the Shield, but that's a sacrifice he's willing to make to wipe that smug expression off of his face.]

[hashtagdaddy]

[His lack of attention under the water is his downfall.

Ravus' tandem leg-hook and shove succeed and Gladio falls back with a splash, but not without grabbing one of the pushing arms and dragging Ravus down with him. The amusement doesn't fade from Gladio's face though, and his open-mouthed laughter causes him to swallow some sea water.

Some of it may or may not also go up his nose.

In a tangle of limbs Gladio manages to stand upright, pulling Ravus up with him. Once he sputters and coughs the water out of his lungs, he smiles brilliantly.]

S-see? [A combined cough and chuckle.] That wasn't so bad, was it?

[Gladio's eyes crinkle with genuine joy, happy that he managed to cajole the typically taciturn man into a bit of frivolous fun. He still hasn't let go of Ravus.]

[sonoftenebrae]

[Fun? What is that? They are both panting for air and dripping, but Ravus isn't laughing. The fact that he can be so easily dragged under is disconcerting. The weight of his prosthetic has him off-balance, and he dislikes being at a disadvantage like this. Gladio could shove him under just as easily as he could lift Ravus out of the waves.]

Are you sufficiently 'cooled off' now? We should return to the shore.

[He is already planning on appropriating Gladiolus' shirt to dry himself off.]

love the link

[hashtagdaddy]

[Ravus needs to lighten up. Maybe some more gentle water fun is in order.]

Not yet. You haven't smiled.

[Gladio does, in fact, lift Ravus up. But not entirely out of the water, just high enough that he can slide one hand down to encourage the sullen man to wrap a leg around him. They're far enough out that no one should notice their actual position - any onlooker would merely assume they were standing closely to one another.]

Relax. I've got you. Just enjoy the water ebbing and flowing. [He hopes Ravus will go along with this, will simply exist in the sea with him for a bit. Maybe even relax.]

rolled a 3, whoops

[sonoftenebrae]

[There are some people that will tolerate being dragged out to something 'fun' and told to relax. Some people will accept it and even have fun with it.

Ravus Nox Fleuret is not one of these people. He and Gladiolus are still too new, too uncertain, for him to put so much trust in him. Ravus needs solid ground under his feet in order to be at ease, and he cannot just surrender and let Gladio manhandle him. And that's to say nothing of what passersby could see on the shore. Even with the water obscuring their exact position, it is still unseemly.]

I am not a puppet dancing for your amusement, Amicitia! I smile if and when I choose.

[He kicks his leg out of Gladio's grip and shoves him away so he can start stomping back toward the shore. He and Gladiolus are equals on the shore.]

/facepalm Thank shiva gladdy rolled a 14

[hashtagdaddy]

[Well that certainly backfired.

Surprise colors his face when Ravus kicks away, and Gladio does nothing to combat being pushed even further away. He simply stands there as the ripples from Ravus' hasty departure break against his body and looks on for a few moments as pale skin, paler hair, and glinting metal angrily move away from him.

He'd thought ... it doesn't matter what he thought. Because regardless of his intentions he upset Ravus and he'll have to both own up to and apologize for that.

So he swims in the shallow water, long strokes bringing him closer to the irked Tenebraen, before standing and giving Ravus a wide berth as he keeps pace slightly behind him.]

Ravus ... I'm sorry. [Gladio tries to figure out how to structure what he wants to say.]

You're not a puppet. I shouldn't have made you feel that way. You looked so forlorn before... I thought I'd try to... [No. No trying to justify his stupid words or his too-bold actions.] I acted without thinking and upset you because of it. M'sorry.

[Apology complete Gladio starts walking towards the shore at a diagonal, away from Ravus, trying to give the man more space. He can't fuck things up if he leaves Ravus to his own devices. Right?]

[sonoftenebrae]

[Ravus huffs and makes his way out of the water and onto the comforting warmth of the dry sand. He glares at Gladio from beneath dripping hair. How dare the man sound so remorseful and earnest. Why does he think he is?]

Swim as long as you'd like. You could still do with some cooling down.

[Ravus sits and reaches for his discarded shirt to towel the water off of his face and arms. He then looks at his soaked shirt with a frown. He reaches into Gladio's satchel and steals his tank top. Astrals know Gladio isn't using it. It smells like him, slightly sweaty and musky, but not unpleasantly so.]
