And you are lucky I did not kill out of reflex. [tugs her fingers through her locks, squeezing out the water] As you wish— but why do you tease me so? I daresay you would have thrown me into the ocean had you had the opportunity while we were at the beach…

And can you? Well, there is another lesson I do not look forward to, if you deign to teach it.

How unfortunate… 

I tease you because your reactions are rather amusing. -furrows his brow- …If I had tried to throw you into the water, I feel as if parts of my skin or hair would have gone in with you. 

Yes, I can. You aren’t a very excitable person, are you?

Unfortunate—? [frowns, but shakes her head] I am glad I can serve as your entertainment, I suppose. But surely you have other ways to bring a smile to your face instead of, say, drenching me? [begins to squeeze the water out of her uniform]

But you have that assumption correct, yes. And— [rolls her eye] Forgive me, but I was not jesting when I said I do not like water; it has dampened my spirits, if you will. [glances at him] If you really desire to teach me, whether it be dance or swimming— and I hope dance— then by all means. I simply did not take you to be serious.

That was the first idea that came to mind. Only trying to drench that fiery attitude a bit. -gives a small smile-

Maybe someday I will teach you. I’ve nothing else to do here.
