round four | action, pool

[werepanther]

[As much as Tom hated to admit it, exercising in the Boxing room just wasn't cutting it out for him. Some of his colleagues suggested that he should get a workout in the training center, but as Tom saw it? That was less a workout and more a "excuse in killing monsters." The pacifist in him wouldn't agree to unnecessary fighting!

So in the end, Tom settled for heading towards the pool. Granted, he hadn't had swimming classes in forever - and the werepanther in him hesitated the moment he walked onto the area - but anything had to be better than killing monsters for the sake of getting some fresh air and exercise.

Throwing his towel onto one of the beach chairs, Tom walks towards the edge of the pool and takes a deep breath. It's okay, it's just water... he can dive in at any moment...

Except he doesn't. Someone push the werekitty in already? It's pretty obvious, from the way he's flailing, that he's not going in anytime soon.]

pfffft this is awesome ♥

[Aw crap---

Tom doesn't have time to react before he falls face-first into the water. He sputters as soon as his head bobs above the water and... well, he's not drowning. Or sinking below the water. Securing himself against the edge of the pool, it's all Tom can do to glare at Seifer.]

What the hell was that for, man?

[On the upside... at least Tom can swim?]

fufuffu

[Seifer looks down at him with a smirk playing on his lips.]

Call it doin' you a favor. No need to thank me just yet.

[werepanther]

[Kids these days!]

Oh? I think you might want to re-think that theory a little... [Hey, Seifer's already dressed for swimming. He surely wouldn't mind some more water being splashed at him, would he? All's fair in shoving and... water fights?]

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

[Takes the splashing LIKE A MAN but steps a little further away from the edge of the pool.]

Now now, Instructor, you wouldn't want any kids slippin' and falling from the mess you're making.

[Okay, maybe Seifer will play his game. Just once. He slides his foot sideways through the water to throw it back in Tom's face.]

[werepanther]

[He can't help laughing as he ducks underwater to avoid the incoming blast. Once he comes up again, he floats on his back and gives Seifer a salute.]

You know what, Almasy? You're right; we really shouldn't. Not while the kids're watching...

So how about tonight? You, me, and this big empty pool right here?

Pass. I got better things to do than go skinny dippin' with another guy. And at night no less.

[werepanther]

Like what? Last I checked, you were still under house arrest.

oh hayle no tom you did not just say that

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

[Oh. Oh. That makes Seifer pause and then narrows his eyes down in Tom's direction.]

Didn't know you were keepin' tabs on me, instructor.

8( sometimes he's not very bright

[werepanther]

I don't. [Eyebrow raise.] Unless you'd like me to. I just hear things from the grapevine.

they're bros its cool

[burntglory.livejournal.com]

Whatever. Ain't like it's top secret shit.

Try not to drown.

[Turns and begins to head off.]

[werepanther]

[Well that was an interesting experience. Tom's gonna have to remember that for later...

In the meantime, however, he's going to enjoy his swim. And quite possibly make a mental note to bother Seifer later. The kid's kind of grumpy for someone from this world.]
