towerofanimus | Clearing the mind under the clear blue sea [Open]

Characters: Xue'Kol and you.
Setting: Floors 10/63 for swimming. Or Floor seventy-three for the picnic.
Format: Prose but I can do either.
Summary: Xue looks to clear her thoughts with her favorite pastimes and favorite locations.
Warnings: Possible language/lack of clothing.

With everything that had been happening as of late, what with the administrators opening answering the denizens questions, for the most part anyways. The mysterious guests showing up and it being a Ruana month, Xue'Kol had lots to think about and frankly, at the moment, she really didn't want to. Instead however, she decided to take up the day for relaxing and enjoying herself while the coast seemed... moderately clear for the time being, she knew that trouble was coming soon.

For the better part of the day one could find the playful trolless enjoying her favorite pastime in her favorite floor; that being number ten, where she swam freely and happily throughout the watery paradise. At least, it was a paradise to someone like her. She also spent some time in the newer water filled floor, exploring the new depths and creatures that dwell in the recently added floor. It was all so relaxing and feeling the refreshingly cold waters on her bare skin was a much needed distraction.

Of course, even though she was currently enjoying the dip as nature brought her into the world, Xue always kept some clothing nearby in case someone came by and wanted to spend time around. She didn't want to make them uncomfortable if they were more of the modest and reserved types.

After her swims through the two floors, Xue picked up Sweetfang and they went to the snowy floor which she had grown quickly fond off. She had lived most of her life post-accident in the frigid norths of the Storm Peaks where she had lived alongside her worgs and spent most of her free time at. She loved the snow, every bit of it, she felt the connection strongly to the variation of the element, but not as strongly as she felt connected to water itself.

Once she arrived on the snowy floor, she sought out a nice spot for both of them to enjoy a nice picnic. First things first though, she quickly made a fire so that Sweetfang wouldn't freeze and once that was done, she set up the cloth and the food down. Snow always seemed to lift her spirits. Seeing the winter wonderland that her hair took the splendid color from, it made her have fond memories of her home and wondered how her worgs were doing. She gave a nice big haunch of meat to her Venomhide Ravasaur hatchling as she began to eat some of the food herself.

Well that was a little less embarrassing, Shion didn't quite look at her still but nodded, "I know." He smiled and looked out into the water.

"Doesn't it scare you?"

"Naw mon, it be da one place were I always be feelin' at ease. Always have, even back home. Even when I had thought it took me when I was younger an' all." Xue shrugged and smiled.

"What 'bout joo mon? Do joo not like it?"

Shion blinked at her words, did she mean she had almost drowned? He tried to suppress his shudder. "Reno taught me last summer, Turk's aren't allowed to drown." He gave a small smile. "It's just..." He waved his arms, "There's so much water."

"A Turk huh? So joo be one 'a dem?" she asked with a smile, already knowing the answer.

She turned to look at the water and smile only grew bigger. "Guessin' it ain't a big deal ta me. Back home I used ta swim in da open oceans often."

Shion nodded, surprised she didn't know, it wasn't exactly a secret. He fiddled with his Turk pin idly. "There were no oceans where I came from... well there was, just far away..."

"Dat be sad, da oceans be wondahful. Don't be tinkin' I could be too far from it. Or from watah in general. It be like a part 'a me." she said with a bright expression on her face.

"I'm glad there is one here then, for you to feel a little more at ease." He looked out at the water again, "I learned a lot about them, because of the life there. It's so fascinating all those creatures that used to live under the ocean..." He paused a moment, "Well I guess here they still do."

"Ya'mon. I don't be tinkin' I coulda been lastin' dis lon in dis place without some form of watah ta swim on. I'm even more 'appy dat dey added a floor wit snow. It be remindin' me of where my home be."

"I'm glad you have things that remind you of home, and make you happy."

"Same here mon. It be makin' tings dat much easier ta deal wit here."

She smiles at him, "So, how have you been holdin' up? Wat have ya been doin' an' such?"

"I've been good..." And Shion realised with a start he really had been, he still had nightmares about killing Reno and if he wasn't careful it haunted him through the day. But for once they weren't in the middle of one crisis or other.

"We were really busy with Reno and Elena's wedding, and I've been trying to learn as much as I can about the new floors."

"It be good ta know dat. I always worry 'bout dose I've come ta know an' care 'bout." Because even if she was out to survive, she still wasn't a heartless assassin... Unless work called for it.

"Yeah? I peeks inta dat from afar for a while. It was real nice mon. An learnin' yer surroundings always be a good ting yanno?"

"You should have came, it would have been nice to have you." He smiled. "It is, there is a lot to learn."

Xue chuckled, "I did tink 'bout it. Alas, ain't my place an' all an' I was makin' sure der wasn' any outside interference an' all." Cause she would have hated for something that nice to have been interrupted.

"Aye, an' da more we know, da bettah equiped we be fer dis place."

Shion smiled, though he would have rather had Xue'Kol there than Ganondorf, or Ruana though the latter hadn't caused any trouble.

"Yes, and the more we can help new people."

"Which in turn be helpin' us all yanno?" Xue smiled and nodded.

"We're all in dis togetha, wetha sum undahstand dat or not."

Shion nodded, that was true. "We are."

"Good den, so long as we keep dat in mind mon, we'll be okay." she added with a wink.

"I'll be headin' to mah room ta rest unless ya wanted ta do sumtin'?"

Shion shook his head, "No, it's alright, go and rest." It was important.

"You know, joo be free ta be joinin' me mon," Xue said with a teasing wink.

"Ain't evah said know ta cuddlin' wit a cutie like joo."

"Um..." Shion was confused at first, he hadn't been the one swimming, he didn't have to rest. He was fine.

Then he blinked, the tone more than the words making him catch on. After all he and Xion spent most nights ~~curled up like kittens~~ in the same bed, but that was different.

"Um..." He's flailing, because he doesn't understand what she means or what she is asking and

Argh

Sorry Xue'Kol Shion is a blushy flaily mess at the moment.

Xue couldn't help herself. His reaction was way too priceless, so much so that the trolless doubled up laughing for a good while. Mirthful tears could be seen at the corners of her eyes as she held her abdomen, wiping her face once she was able to.

"Oh mon, no need ta be getitn' like dat," she said in between a laugh.

"Though, it only be makin' ya cutah y'know?"

Once she had caught her breath, she smiled. "Naw, mon, it was jus' a friendly suggestion. Company's nevah bad, not in dis place, but don't sweat aye? I'll be seein' ya 'round." she finally added with a wink and a wave.

Shion's blush just got deeper as she laughed at him, flailing some more.

"Um... yeah... see you around..."

Xue smiled, "Don't sweat it hon, kay? Ya be a nice guy..." she paused, her look turning a bit somber as she turned to leave.

"Don't be lettin' dis place change dat..."

With that, she began to leave.

He blinked at her, "You're nice too..." He said with an awkward smile as she left.
