Peaking through the railing, she looked below and blinked at the pair of hands clinging to a sea-salted rusty ladder below her feet. "O-Oh Dieu! How did-" she hung off of the pier a little more, using one hand to keep her on it and hooking a foot just to be careful. "How the hell did you get down there! Moon! Help me!" she ordered quickly, trying to reach a hand down to the boy.

Wasn't he cold?
Seeing as Lucy couldn't reach him, Moon got up and down the ladder. The waves weren't as calm as before, but at least didn't wash over them.
"Here." he reached out a hand to the boy. It wasn't that hard to climb up, but maybe the boy was scared or something.

Shivers ran up and down his spine as he barely understood the now humiliating situation he was in. He looked like a drowned rat in front of a pretty girl and hell if he wasn't embarrassed being saved by her friend.
"S-sorry I just uh," he stuttered, "I couldn't help but hear your conversation when was stuck down there!"
He had hoped they wouldn't be too mad, "I really didn't mean to..." he tried to explain, between his accent and stuttering it only made him that much harder to understand.
"B-but I jus' couldn't help it, you have such a beautiful voice miss..!" he told the tiny tanned siren.

Lucy quickly found herself wrapping her arms around him and hugging him tightly in a mixture of wanting to help his shivering and to help steady him. She shook her head quickly. "It's fine! It's fine! You should've called up earlier! Oh God you must be freezing-" she said quickly, starting to pull him along.
"Moon- we really should get him inside somewhere... My house is only a few blocks away," she said, looking over at the other man.
"Oh-" she looked up again, blinking at the soaking wet boy in her arms. "What's your name?"

"Here." he said. Better to have something dry than nothing.
At Lucy's suggestion, he nodded. "He'll get sick if we don't. Lead the way."

The sudden warmth that landed atop his shoulders had Loto jump a bit in surprise but he then saw it was nothing more then the other man's jacket. "T-t-thanks." he said while wiping away a strand of mucus that began running down his upper lip.
"M-my name's Loto," he said through quivering lips, "I'm s-s-sorry to t-trouble you with my a-ah..!!"
"A-TCHOO!!" a spray of sticky mucus landing across his sleeve as the gooey substance still lead back up to Loto's nostrils.
"P-predicament..." He stuck his tongue out a bit in disgust before trying to wipe away the rest of the disgusting snot with his good, albeit wet, parka sleeve and hand. Loto was definitely not the best charmer...

"Don't be sorry at all! I should've seen you sooner-!" She looked back, urging on Moon to hurry up as she lead them towards Ocean View. Her conscious didn't let her blame the quickly coming on cold on anyone but herself. If she just hadn't been mopping about feeling sorry for herself this boy would probably be warm and cozy in his own home- speaking of his own home... "Hey- where... Do you need to call anyone Loto? It's gotten really late-"
She glanced back at Moon, fretting again and chewing on her lip. "Damnit- I've just bothered you all with my stupid self-pity party. I'm sorry!"

Before following them, he remembered picking with him the milk bottles.
"It's ok, Lucy. It's not your fault. Let's just get him inside and warm."

They reached a small set of wooden stairs leading up to a door on a second floor in almost no time at all. "Here-" Lucy murmured, starting to carefully lead the boy up the steps. "Watch your step, they're a little narrow."
She dug out her key from a small pocket in the side of her dress and quickly slipped it into the lock, opening the door and motioning for the two men to go inside.
"My parents already left for their trip- you can sit down on the couch. I'll make you both some tea," and with that, she hurried off into the flat, slipping through a doorway. Clattering sounds started to echo through the quiet flat as she pulled out pots and pans, searching for her kettle.

He had wanted to plop himself straight onto the couch but held back his temptation, the time taken to arrive to the singer's home allowed him to dry a bit but he was still, for the most part, sopping wet. Even if it was from sheer guilt, Loto remained standing, arms and legs still jittering from the abuse they had received in his failed "cleansing ocean" plan.
His eyes scanned the room, idly passing the time just staring at objects as a tiny puddle of water slowly began to form from the drippings of his clothes.
Loto was caught off guard by the sight of the tall friend that offered him his jacket, he had almost forgot that the man was also there. He nervously looked at the Mongolian until he finally built up the courage to let out a muttered, "G-G'day sir'..."

He looked at Loto, and just gave a smile. "Hey." he said in return.
The couch was comfortable, so he sat back, relaxing and waiting for Lucy to finish with the tea. A quick glance up at Loto first.
"What were you doing under there anyway?" he asked.

Maybe he would have pondered further about just why he was intimidated a bit longer if he hadn't just realized the situation he was in. A boy in the prime of his youth, soaking wet, inside a beautiful girl's home strangers home, no parents, and a tall asian man watching them.
The scenario screamed bad rape porno flick, but in Loto's mind it just spelled out trouble. His mind continued screaming to get the bloody hell out of there, and pronto.
"W-well uh, you know what I think I'm feeling just ace now!" play it cool Loto, don't let em' see your legs wobble, nice and sweet so you can get out of there as quick as you can, "Yep, and well my cuz is gonna have my head on a platter if I don't turn up back at the flat so--atchoo!!"

She walked over and set the tray on a side table, holding her hands out of the mess. "I think you probably are my dad's size in clothing... Maybe a little smaller- I'll put your things in the wash so you don't have to go back in wet clothes, alright? I can't just let you leave like this!"
Reply
Maybe he was overreacting a bit earlier, those were all pretty solid points right there. If he just kept his guard up a bit then everything would be fine.
"U-uhm, ya know what I think I'll take ya up on the offer fer those clothes actually..." he muttered rubbing the back of his neck as he followed her out the living room.
