...What the hell is wrong with the plaza?

[Seriously, what. Giant tree out of nowhere, what. Not that he doesn't have more important things to be dealing with right now. Speaking of which-

...Man. This is going to be crazy-awkward, he just knows it. But hey, it has to be done- you can only dodge someone living in your own house for so long. ( Read more... )

[Stella can't help smiling to herself once she sees the entry; personally asking to met with her, eh? She's already outside, in the very plaza he's questioning at that, which she feels is a convenient meeting place.

She'll just. Fix her hair a little before she answers.]

Of course. I was actually about to ask you the same thing.

[Action] mirrorbirth February 20 2011, 08:23:40 UTC

[That makes Asch smile slightly, looking ahead once more.] You'll see.

[Action] goldenfirefly February 20 2011, 08:55:09 UTC

[Blink. Asch, are you... keeping something from her?

... Ha HA. No, she is not actually laughing, but she does grin and lean her cheek against his shoulder again, and her steps take on a light little bounce. This is honestly very exciting, and now Stella doesn't quite feel so bad for keeping what she has planned under wraps.]

All right, all right. I'll keep my curiosity at bay as much as possible.

[Action] mirrorbirth February 20 2011, 09:00:31 UTC

[Maaaaaybe. But enough of that, they're almost to their goal by now, right? He can see the rec center, where the teleporter can be found.]

You know, I'm curious, too. You haven't told me why we're going.

[Action] goldenfirefly February 20 2011, 09:18:48 UTC

[Why does that look make Stella feel like melting into his arms right then and there She just gives a mischievous smile of her own and walks a little faster now that the rec center is in view, tugging Asch's hand lightly behind her.]

You'll see.

[Action] mirrorbirth February 20 2011, 09:28:16 UTC

[So unfair. But Asch doesn't seem to mind, picking up the pace to follow her along. Once they reach the center, he gets the door for her again, stepping up into the cabin after her. Almost there, almost there! It's kind of exciting.]

[Action] goldenfirefly February 20 2011, 22:34:14 UTC

[Almost there! It's kind of nerve-wracking for her. Thus, she locks her hands behind her back as she walks, and soon enough, they reached the teleporter. Stella gives a second of hesitation, if only because teleporting will never stop making her queasy, then steps onto the device.

Once she steps out near the hot springs, as expected, she shuts her eyes and holds her her for a moment before she shakes it off and moves on. Stupid teleportation.]

[Action] mirrorbirth February 20 2011, 23:00:00 UTC

[Having lived in Daath for nearly half his life, Asch is used to teleporters like that, so he's mostly unaffected. He holds Stella's hand gently to steady her if she needs it, then glances around, making sure it's safe- just in case.]

Now what?

[Action] goldenfirefly February 21 2011, 00:18:56 UTC

[Stella won't answer him for a moment - instead, she inspects the springs, looking as if she's in thought about something. Is it deep enough? Wide enough? She glances at Asch - Would he be okay?

After she decides that this is good enough, though certainly not like the traditional lakes, she looks back at him with a raised eyebrow. Now, how to do this without Asch wondering what in the world she's thinking.]

I'd like to issue a challenge. [She gestures to the water.] Dive in and swim as fast as you can. And above all... Do not let me catch you. I want to see how fast of a swimmer you are.

[Action] mirrorbirth February 21 2011, 01:13:14 UTC

[Okay. That? Is not what he expected when she'd invited him up here. He studies her for a long moment, then peers at the water, confused. She just wanted to swim?

...Weird. So weird, Stella.

He's not one to back down from a challenge, though, and this is apparently something Stella needs to do, so he nods, tugging off his overcoat and boots, then loosening his collar to give him space to breathe. He doesn't have any swimming trunks, and he's not too keen on getting shirtless at the moment anyway, so he leaves the rest on, striding forward and diving right into the spring. The water is warm and soothing, but he doesn't dwell on it, immediately kicking away from the shore.]

[Action] goldenfirefly February 21 2011, 01:55:48 UTC

[Ah, good, he did it without complaint. That's one of the hardest parts of all of this, and it's been taken care of nicely. Stella takes the time to take the selenia flower out of her hair and set it on the shore, because she doesn't want it to get lost in the water, and she kicks off her shoes, occasionally glancing at him to see how far he is.

... He's slow. At least, compared to other Ferines. He's even slow compared to Senel, but that's all right. It makes this easier.

Stella places her hands on her hips and watches him for a second longer, giving him a good head start, then dives in and swims after him. Careful, Asch, you've got a living rocket of a swimmer coming after you. One with glowing blue hair at that!]

[Action] mirrorbirth February 21 2011, 02:08:08 UTC

[Asch hadn't heard the echo of another splash following him, so he glances over his shoulder to see what's going on just as she dives in. He kicks his legs to try to stay ahead, but before he can face forward again, he sees her hair start to glow.

And quite suddenly he has no breath in his lungs because he's too busy going "WHAT" underwater.]

[Action] goldenfirefly February 21 2011, 02:14:07 UTC

[And in the next moment, thanks to that pause and that reaction, Stella catches up in no time at all and catches him around the waist, bringing them both up above the surface to breathe. Well, for him to breathe. For Stella, it's just to laugh happily. And her hair's still glowing!]

Caught you!

[Action] mirrorbirth February 21 2011, 02:16:24 UTC

[Please hold, Asch is still in spastic-gawk mode, hacking and coughing as he tries to catch his breath.]

You- [COUGH COUGH COUGH] -Your- [COUGH WHAT THE FUCK COUGH] -Your hair glows...! [He did not see that coming.]

[Action] goldenfirefly February 21 2011, 02:19:45 UTC

A Ferines' hair glows when they're under water. [Stella says in a matter of fact way, and now that part of her hair is above the water, the glow there starts to fade. She'll just keep holding him around the waist and resting her cheek against his chest with a happy smile on her face - she did it! She really caught him, and... well, now she has to explain just what it means.

Once he stops coughing and sputtering and gawking.]

[Action] mirrorbirth February 21 2011, 02:33:54 UTC

[He does finally manage to stop coughing, leaning his head away when she rests on him so he doesn't hack up water in her hair or something. ...Her hair glows. Wow. That's... different. With his breathing back under control, he kicks lightly to help her support them both at the surface, one arm around her waist while the other lifts to touch the glowing hair just under the surface.

...Amazing... just like a hyperresonance.]
