[The Creek -- the afternoon]

[It's the end of June and it's sweltering hot out; the kind that just saps your energy and makes you want to laze around with sticky skin in as little clothing as possible.

School's over, maybe some people have closed their businesses or left them in the care of others, or maybe you're just feeling adventurous and are

[Yuan stands at the edge of the creek, looking thoughtful. Normally, you wouldn't catch him near any water unless it was some kind of emergency - lightning mages and water generally don't mix well.

But he's not a lightning mage right now, doesn't need to worry about the uncomfortable prickling that comes with holding a charge and being immersed in water.

And it's really hot.

And all his clothes are made of thick, black material that covers pretty much his entire body.

So for once in his life, he's actually considering stripping down to his underwear and jumping in the water.]

I don't swim very often. [And now there's a naked woman in the water, which might pose hazardous to his health if Kratos drops by.]

[...Oh, what the hell. Yuan needs to find some way to cool off, and it's not like making Kratos jealous ever did him any harm in the long run. He turns away a bit to strip off his outer clothing, practically peeling some portions off his skin. The paleness of his skin makes the lines of old scars on his back stand out a bit as he finishes undressing.]

[she just turns curious eyes on him for a moment, and then remembers that humes get fussy about privacy when it comes to nudity, so she looks away, politely.]

[Yuan appreciates that, really. He tosses his clothes aside in a neat-ish pile, and jumps in, hissing a little at the comparative chill of the water - it's not that cold, probably, except in comparison to the air. He'll adjust quickly, though.]
