[attr="class","spiral"] no. no it's not. that's not fun at all. and fernando shows it with a visible frown and a mild whining noise. he can never tell with isra and the unexpected refusal to partake dampens his advance. most of it is him feigning pushiness in an attempt to goad her into it but his expectations have been tempered.

"i'm trying to." the lifelessness of his expression points toward his only obstacle. "but you're making it really hard."

Every so often fernando catches her by surprise and this time he does. Perhaps because she's just not used to such a response from him. It seems equally as unfitting and it amuses her and makes her grin. "I am not the Onsen, Fernando." the tip of her finger taps the tip of his nose. A mimicked behavior she's picked up from people watching to pass the time.

"That's a good line though, very flattering." she teases, her smile coy as she moves to drift away from him if he'll let go. Not too far of course, just enough.

[attr="class","spiral"] looks like she didn't take the bait. he didn't expect her to but there's a certain amount of pushiness that tends to have people bend to his will. shed the layers of their expectations, how startled they become when fernando seems to loosen up, and they'll cave to something their not familiar with. usually, anyway. knowing this, he tries his luck but reality reflects his predictions and he's left mentally rolling his eyes.

the touch of her finger against his nose only worsens his complexion. he's frowning now and equally displeased. "yet here i am, with nothing to show for it." her body may part but the annoyance doesn't. it festers and he ignores it, calmed by the still pleasantness of the water's warmth.

She shrugs, turning as she drifts so that her back is to him and letting herself sink a little further below the water, until the warmth is up to her chin. "You should know by now I like to be difficult. Wasn't about to let you win on the first try." that'd be a crying shame she could never let herself live down.

"So maybe you'll just have to try again." sing son- she enjoys it after all. It's amusing to toy because she expects that he will try. Even if not tonight he will again eventually. He's the one that keeps coming back for more after all.

[attr="class","spiral"] "difficult for an arbitrary reason. you're just wasting time."

fernando stands there but allows himself to sink to her level. the heat swallows him and he can feel his skin melt against the brimming sensation of being cooked. "people only want something until it becomes more trouble than its worth."

"arbitrary to you." she doesn't turn to face him, being stubborn about it should come as no surprise.

"by now you know what you're getting into so you must consider it that troublesome yet." she grins to herself because the idea is amusing even if reality says its untrue. She can still amuse herself now and again at least.

[attr="class","spiral"] "for now."

his hands float aimlessly by his side and he can feel his own buoyancy. "patience wanes. it won't last forever, isra." he knows that the threat won't mean much to her but there's always a chance — a chance that she'll consider the opposite and the possible what-ifs should it ever come to it. how much does she value their estranged relationship?

"hmmmmmm...."

Whatever he's playing at she lets sit between them a moment. He may be right but she's not sure how it matters here because in reality what was there to lose?

"that might get you somewhere if you weren't just my boss that I sometimes have a little extra fun with. Every so often you aren't so bad but I don't really know you beyond work." even if she felt like she was getting the hang of him it didn't change the fact that they didn't really talk about things that mattered or even really knew anything of substance about each other. They didn't have to of course, it just left his words hallow.

"shall we call that strike 2? Something about 3 strikes was it?" isra chuckled.

[attr="class","spiral"] "little fun." fernando scoffs at the description but lets it come to pass. truthfully, she's not far off but to address it so bluntly leaves a sour taste in his mouth. it almost makes it seem vulgar — which it is, but something her prefers to ignore in lieu of the satisfaction of the moment.

"there's not much to me beyond work," he states plainly. fernando comes to realize that the only person's mood being soured is his own and it all stems from her stubborn refusal. he puts a damper on it immediately, his self awareness strengthening his mentality.

"strike three and nothing happens. just like everything else."

"Nothing only happens when you make don't try hard enough to begin with.” as for what she meant by that even she couldnt be certain. only that she could be satisfied by the right hand being played and he hasnt gotten there yet tonight.

"No one is every just their work. Something has to make you a man that delves into his work." even if he didnt see it that way she did and would be difficult to convince otherwise. Slowly she drifts back towards him, content to bump into him again as they talk.

[attr="class","spiral"] "your standard of hard enough is just being you being difficult," fernando whines. the feels nice but he expect something else to be enveloping him by now. the fact that he has to settle for the onsen is what makes it worse. at least now he's self aware enough not to dwell on it. kind of.

"you're right. there's a small part of me that isn't work. the same one you're denying." he pauses. "and i'm not working, isra." he doesn't relent because fernando is both stubborn, persistent, petty, and insatiable.

She can't help but start to laugh. She covers her mouth to stifle it because she knows he'll just get more in a mood but that's why she's laughing to begin with. Sometimes his stubborn is a little bit cute and she can let it slide just a little bit.

"And?" she fails to see what impact his point was supposed to make.

"What if I don't believe you Fernando." she closes the gap between them again, tapping his nose. "What then?"

[attr="class","spiral"] her laughter is met with deadpan silence. the thought of splashing her with a face full of water crosses his mind but he tempers it down to a simple glare. being laughed at, much less by her, is the last place fernando fancies himself being.

"then you're stupid." there's spite behind his words, mostly from his annoyance, but also from his nature to resist letting someone else have the last word. the boop to his nose christens his steady scowl.

isra takes no offense. Because despite his attempts she does not find this any thing less than adorable and it takes everything she has to keep from laughing.

"That the best you've got tonight? Stupid?"

She has to take a deep breath before retorting again. "you know, that face really doesn't help."

The woman is grinning ear to ear.

[attr="class","spiral"] "Don't hold me down to your standard." Fernando keeps himself from grumbling or resorting to the reaction that he knows Isra is fishing for. "Not everyone has the demeanor of a child like you do." Another snort and Fernando turns away, unwilling to entertain her further. The sight of her smile is a blight upon his mood despite how he tries to carry himself.
