Here we go again.
You all better kiss.
You all better kiss.
Oh, I meant me, but I think it'd be a nice couples' activity too?
[ Just saying. ]
[ Just saying. ]
Oh, that?
[ She flaps a hand. ]
Don't worry about it. I've had it since before I came here.

And where's your helmet?
[ This isn't just her!! ]
[ This isn't just her!! ]
I feel like this is... what's the saying? Being a kid in a candy store, for you?
[ He's so excited. ]
[ He's so excited. ]
That's fine! We can still work with that!
[ Maya is UNDAUNTED. ]

[Verso is wearing a striped swimsuit that might seem a little retro comparatively, but he seems comfortable enough no matter if it's a bit ridiculous. So it's fine. He wears an open, loose white shirt over it for now, so they both kind of have that beach day look.]
They're really spoiling us, aren't they?
[Not that he minds.]
Would you like to eat before we take to the boat? Or we could do both — the thing certainly looks big enough.
[Indeed, at a distance, their speedboat awaits.]

[It's very beautiful. The stroll is a lengthy and vibrant one, lit up even at night with so much color, and it's a shame they have the camera crew trundling along behind them.]
And we have it all to ourselves.
[He hooks his arm with Nico's.]
Well. Mostly.

So only when we're here...
[ he sounds really thoughtful for a second. ]
We should try to find one if we can. It can be our second scavenger hunt.

[WHALES
That's the vibe, as one massive creature begins to breach water at a distance. Verso actually looks a little awed, pointing at the spectacle about to happen.]
Messmer, look!
[The sea is not a novelty to him, but he had never been whale-watching like this, and the newness has struck him not unlike an adolescent experiencing something for the first time. An artist's and/or musician's sense of wonder cannot be tamped down so easily, after all.]

That shouldn't be too hard! Then let's make sure it's a good one.
[ Shell scavenger hunt sounds delightful. ]

Okay!
[ with clear excitement in his voice, he loves games. naturally his mind jumps to prizes but then he remembers— ]
Wait, before we start, I have something for you.

[ heyyy that's his face! no he doesn't seem to mind actually, and there's something of a smile that's hard to see considering how he's being manhandeled. ]
I meant it as the truth, because we're friends. [ he knows that's offensive and while he didn't mean it that way, it's not something at base he shies away from either. ]
Unless you want the sweet nothings?

[ She's patient, waiting as he turns it in mind and slowly words it out loud. It's important, Odile feels, for him to come upon this himself -- to understand her thoughts on it, rather than her explain it so. ]
And should the moon in the pond reflect something...
And should the moon in the pond reflect something...
[ Of course it's hard, especially given the weight of it all -- it doesn't match up with what someone might think of him either, and Odile watches him work on the puzzle in her stead. She can't do much once the outside is finished, where colors are concerned... ]
Better reasons than Aventurine, at least. Though that's all I'll say on that.
[ And even so, there's a weighted story behind that. Conman Edamura... Poppy might cast a hefty bout of suspicion on him, but who else would find him wanting...? ]
Speaking of your "right reasons", how are things with Maya?

[ One of them has to be!!!! ]
I leave my hands in yours, then.
[ Since the activity doesn't matter for why Odile asked her out in the first place, mind turning over thoughts since the weekend. ]
... Have you any thoughts on Wei Wuxian's words? His hint to us.

[ um ]
I do love that. You are correct in assuming everyone does. What is an "em em oh are pee gee"?

Mmhmm. The cameras here are far less demanding.
[ he runs a hand though his hair, rearranging his messy bangs. ]
It'd be stranger not having any cameras on me at all.

[ It does help to not look at someone when speaking. Odile finds the method rather useful herself, cagey as she can be about certain things while open about others. One could hardly blame her for wanting as she does, but... it just... isn't her, she feels, and so she keeps it away. The line between what she wants and how she appears to others is a thick one indeed.
She tilts her head a little at that though, thinking back to the words she'd used. Not even hers in full, borrowed from another, but... ]
... Harbor-like, was it? For ships perilling a storm.

No? Well I do. [ rather than asking for her hand, he will just take it to set them up into proper form.
the instructor gets a look sharp enough to kill: they don't need your help, thank you~~~ ]
Have you ever danced the Waltz before?

[ fr if they go on another date they're going to a michelin star restaurant ]
Then let's get that. We can split the big steak, too, so you can try it. And... since you like fried foods, let's get fries.
[ It's endearing, though, that Yingying likes this kind of food, when her elegant and otherworldly appearance seem given to more refined taste. Maybe it's something of a peek through the curtain of wisteria, at the woman she had been before tragedy befell her? And naturally, she's probably not going to be affected in the same way as a fairy...
Shoko takes care of placing their order with the staff with practiced ease; Yinging is very much being taken care of, hehe. ]
I've had fried scallions like that, too. They're really good. [ and go well with booze— ] Have you had a chance to have that kind of food again on your dates?

Hm? But we're just one type of human too.
[ Said almost absent-mindedly as she decided which of the pastries she's absolutely going to be getting. ]
Either way, yeah. We're pretty well known for our love of things on the sweeter side. Guess it's kind of a stereotype about us, but...
[ She taps her finger on the glass over the jam filled looking pastry she's decided on. Seems like it's true in her case at least. ]

[ Athletic clothing isn't Shoko's quite default, in contrast, but yes she is slaying this look too and has her hair up in a ponytail. ]
Is it the same thing...?
[ Well. If nothing else, Shoko will have fun seeing what Serpilia gets up to. ]
You seem like you're going to have fun here, though. Wanna show me how it's done?

[ That's right, Aventurine... You're cringe, as her students would say were they not stuck in the year 2018— ]
Well. It's hard not to notice when people feel that strongly about one another. It's not a bad thing.
[ She has seen this kind of thing before. ]
I have to admit, though, you were one of the last people I thought would settle down so quickly here. But maybe you were just waiting for someone to sweep you off your feet completely, huh?

Then this should be quick. Do you like "tacos"?
