[ The splashy splash of swimming is very loud, but Rin can hear her for reasons.

He'll stop and stand. ]

I'm not going to drown. [ Cuts a glance at her. ] What do you want?

[diluvian]

[ not in the deep end, i see.

she tilts her head. ]

You already know the water doesn't like it when you swim with those kind of emotions.

[ she hasn't forgotten the memory she saw or his words afterward. ]

[damp]

[ That really catches him off guard, and he looks over at her, anger giving way for surprise and then...

Softening into something mournful as he looks back at the water. ]

Well, sometimes I screw up.

[diluvian]

We both know that already, don't we? If you're not going to swim productively, get out.

How are you going to face Haruka like this?

[damp]

[ He fixes her with a glare, agitated by the question. ]

Fuck off. You're not the goddess of anything here, and I don't have to listen to you.

[diluvian]

[ she has been attacked with worse before, and none of what he says hits her pride. ]

If you want to be self-destructive, I don't care enough about you to stop you, but I do care about the pool.

[ she isn't going to mince her words just because he's hurting, and she knows he is. she wasn't born out of kindness. ]

If you want to drown so you don't have to face whatever team member arrives tomorrow, I'll do it for a fee.

[damp]

I wouldn't pay you for shit.

[ he pushes his hair out of his face so he can look at her more clearly. ]

So if you want to drown me, you'll have to do it for free, but I'm not getting out.

[diluvian]

Oh? So what are you doing this for? Enlighten me.

[ she's just watching him impassively from behind her sunglasses. ]

Because all I see is you trying to run away.

[damp]

What the hell do you know about me? [ he's still scowling ] I'm not running away. I'm trying to... focus.

[ not doing a great job, but. ]

[diluvian]

[ she doesn't really care to know too much about him yet, unfortunately. ]

Uh-huh. Sure. What are you trying to focus on?

[ since he's doing such a great job. ]

[damp]

[ he gives her a tired look. ]

I don't have to explain myself to you. If you want to drag me out of the water, then do it. Otherwise leave me alone.

[diluvian]

You can do better things with your time.

[ such as, talk about your feelings with people who are nicer. ]

[damp]

Better than... swimming?

[ ??? ]

[diluvian]

[ boy. your swimming sucks right now. ]

There's a time and place for everything, and you need something else with someone else.

[damp]

[ sometimes you are bad at swimming ]

... Nobody else needs to see this.

[diluvian]

[ he wants to go to the olympics. ]

Many of us have seen this and worse. I just know I'm not nice.

[damp]

[ lifts a brow ]

Do you want to be?

[diluvian]

No. I don't see the point.

[damp]

[ He looks at her for a long time before, finally, his anger cracks, and he sighs. ]

I really don't understand you...

[ But he doesn't sound that bothered by it, more relaxed as he swims over to the pool's edge and pulls himself out of the water.

While wringing the water out of his hair, ] Satisfied?

[diluvian]

I don't need to be understood.

[ this is unfortunately genuine because she thinks it's not easy for most to understand her. ]

Are you still angry?

[damp]

... Yeah. But that's not something I can force to stop.

[ wish he could turn of emotions ]

Are you going for a swim?

[diluvian]

Not right now. I'm not in the mood.

[ she's not angry like he is, though. ]

Let's go for a walk, Rin.

[damp]

... Okay. [ he's a little surprised by the other. ] Let me just change.

[ he doesn't walk around in a swimsuit like haru

once that's done, he'll tilt his head toward her, ] Let's go.
