Pool, Wednesday, Early Evening

Troy led the way down to the pool, after he'd made a quick stop at his room for swim trunks and a towel. "So," he said to Sky, "want to swim laps? Or do some dives? Or...?"

[Troy's here with Sky, but open for all your pool-like needs!]

"Er," said Sky, who still had on a t-shirt in addition to his swim trunks, feeling suddenly nervous about taking it off. "I'll hop in and see if I don't drown first, how does that sound?" He was only half joking.

Sky stretched a few times, slowly and carefully put his towel next to Troy's, purposely dawdling. Then, knowing it was inevitable, he finally peeled his shirt off and slipped in the pool.

"Oh, I know," said Sky, somehow not sure how to tell Troy that it was the 'being shirtless around him' part and not the 'I haven't been swimming in a while' part that was making him nervous. Finally, he turned over and floated on his back, doing a few backstrokes before simply floating there.

"This is really relaxing," Sky admitted, flipping right-side up and swimming to the other side of the pool. "And quite a good workout, too."

Sky yelled with surprise when Troy did this, and perhaps flailed a little, before turning to look at him.

"Whoa, sorry. You scared me."

"That's alright," said Sky, rubbing the back of his head. "Could've been worse, I suppose."

"Sure thing," said Sky, knowing he was probably going to lose, but getting ready to try anyway.

Sky took off after Troy, able to keep pace with him, which he was pleased to be able to do. Being beaten at basketball was embarrassing enough to him.

Oh, no you don't, Sky thought, pushing harder and actually getting ahead now.

And unfortunately, this was not enough, as Sky reached the other side first. He straightened up and gripped the side of the pool, feeling a little taxed by the unfamiliar motions of swimming, but overall still very good. He smiled over a Troy.

"Thanks," Sky said, then smirked. "What kind of prize?"

"Er," said Sky uncertainly. He went a little red.

"I'll take that, certainly," said Sky.

"... Me, too," said Sky.
