Bathing

Kite groaned and sat down rubbing his wrist tenderly. It had taken forever to get a boat back from Fall and it had turned out he had to propel the boat himself anyways. Kite wished he had an element so much but frankly, it just wouldn't happen. Closing his silver eyes he leaned back against a rock listening to the waterfall beside him beating its rhythm. Getting up Kite stretched and stepped out of his kimono and into the water up to his waist.

Zearadine was woundering about the falls when she saw a man bathing. trying not to watch she couldnt help it her eyes locked on to him. She took a seat in the distance near a bush triing not to allow her beain there to be to obvious.

Kite ran a hand along the surface of the water his head tilted slightly downwards. He had sensed someone watching him, could feel their eyes on him but he didn't mind, his lower body was hidden by the water anyway's. You don't have to hide, you can come out. Or stay there, its up to you. Kite said loud enough for the person to hear, but quiet enough to be neutral to his opinion on the person spying.

Kite shrugged. Nope, its okay. I've had my fair share before when I was younger, so everything's all good. Kite grinned rubbing his hand through his white hair. Reaching over to the bank he pulled the kimono over his head before stepping out of the water, not using his left sleeve so that his kimono hung on one shoulder only, leaving his chest open. Walking over to the girl Kite stood a few feet away. Do you have a name?

Interesting name. My name is Kite. Kite really did think of it as an interesting name, he had never heard it before. Kite sat down on the bank as well closing his eyes for a momment before opening them again, their silver color reflecting the sun.

Zeara looked at him. your eyes are a beautiful silver Kite. Its nice to see more people around here.Are you staying somewhere in a town close by. She turned to look up at the sky, curious to know more about him.

Kite reached up with a hand to touch beside his eyes then looked at Zeara his gaze a friendly kind of gaze. Thanks. Well for a while I was staying at Fall, the Water city, but I might stay on the mainland for now, places here are easier to get to. Kite ruffled his hair a bit watching the girl a few feet away from him. He wasn't the curious type, and that hadn't changed but she struck his interest.

Its nice and warm for a waterfall actually. You should deffinatly take a swim. Kite nodded standing up and walking behind Zeara for a momment before swiftly pushing her in a grin on his face.

Zearadine fell in, she didnt even have a moment to realize it until she was under the water. She quickly came up an looked up at him her clothes were drentched as the rest of her clothing stuck to her body. Your right it is nice. though I wasnt exspecting that.

Kite stuck out his tongue. Well if you HAD been expecting that, what fun would it have been for me? He asked with a laugh his silver eyes glinting happily, but in their own way a bit cold.

Zeara splashed him an giggled. Yeah I guess your right, but then that means Im going to swim while you just sit there? She swam towards the waterfall its self.

Kite shrugged with a sheepish grin. Maybe...unless that was an invitation! Kite took the kimono off his shoulder and had it comfortably around his waist in a momment. Wading in he took a few strokes to catch up with Zeara, floating on his back beside her. Yup I was right. You have really beautiful eyes too. Kite pointed at her eyes.

Kite was having fun despite himself. Normaly he wasn't a people person and didn't really like to be around anyone, but sometimes he let loose and had some fun. usually afterwards he had to change identities because he had a habit of telling things that really shouldn't be told to anyone. for example him being a demon that didn't much like humans. Kite treaded water briefly then dived down to the bottom of the waterfall-lake looking up and trailing Zeara's movements ready for his chance...

Zeara looked around but the water was to dark for her to see where he was. Kite?! she cried out treading water herself in search for him. If only she knew something of the water element she could play with him some more without him cheating.

Kite grinned from under the water and swam silently up behind her. In one motion he had one strong arm around her waist holding her to his chest and the other hand over her mouth before dunking her for a second and releasing her, killing himself laughing. Yes Zeara? Kite's soaked white hair making his eyes seem all the brighter in color.

Kite shrugged splashing around in a circle before following the retreating Zeara. Course! It's my nature!

Zeara swam faster an when she finaly reached the serface she pulled herself up. Water dripped from her as she slowly crawled an then lay on the ground. you sure are a fun guy but geez. she giggled

Kite stayed in the water his chin resting on his crossed arms that lay on the bank. Awwww, ish poor Z chicken?

Zeara turned to face him. Ha, im not chicken. she stod back up onto her feet an dove back into the water.

Kite looked behind him with a sly smile. And what makes you think being in the water is safe? He chided.
