[attr="class","beck"]"saoirse."

beyond a small waterfall is a small creek, isolated from the rest of the route, making it an ideal place for what's to come. he reaches a hand out to push overgrown branches aside, holding it for moments to allow her to pass freely.

the creek awaits them in just a few.

"how's training?"

Her shadows faded.

“Fine.”

It was a short response. She stepped around Theo, and through the clearing his arm created. The sound of the waterfall was fading into a lazier babble on the other side.

Thoughts filled her head of last time. Visions of violence, from both then and before, swirling in a heart more and more consumed by darkness as the days went by. She wouldn’t mention her meltdown, even as the thought of it heated her ears yet again.

[attr="class","beck"]not to worry, he'll mention it for her.

"feeling better after your meltdown?"

sounds of running water soon flow through the air, calling to them. they're not far now.

A sigh ran through her throat and out the roof of her mouth like a growl.

“Yeah.” The sharpness of her tone would make it clear that she didn’t want to talk about it. Her steps grew a little faster, without her having noticed, as though attempting to carry her further from him to escape the topic.

She focused on the sound of the water.

[attr="class","beck"]he leaves it at that, allowing her the space she so desperately needs.

after a few more moments, they break through a clearing, approaching the side of a small creek. it's nice, beautiful, and peaceful.

that'll change soon.

"ever wrestle a fishie, saoirse?"

he asks, approaching the edge of the creek. the water here flows stronger than usual, perhaps influenced by its sloped terrain.

She was caught off guard. Why anymore, she didn’t know.

“Theo: you really are one of the strangest pricks I’ve ever met in my life.”

Twigs snapped under her feet and she continued to stride ahead of him, unsure of where she was headed exactly. Maybe she would just hop the stream and keep going.

“I bet you’ve wrestled a fishie or two in your day, mm?”

[attr="class","beck"]"thanks."

there's uncertainty in the way he responds, perhaps unsure whether to take it as a compliment, an insult, or somewhere in between.

approaching the edge of the water, he stops by it, head tilting back to address her.

"a few, yes. they are rather slippery."

he shrugs his blazer off, folding it neatly before placing it on the ground. he starts unbuttoning his shirt:

"you should do the same."

Rather slippery. Seemed like they would be. Was he serious?

She stared a long moment, watching him undress with the realization of: yes, he was.

Not following suit immediately, she felt compelled to clarify, perhaps if only to postpone the mission. “You want me to wrestle a fish... now?”

[attr="class","beck"]he's already down to the last button by the time she questions.

"yes."

the shirt comes loose, and after being neatly folded, is placed atop the blazer on the ground. his pants soon follow; thankfully, he's in compression shorts, and thankfully for saoirse, he brought extra.

he reaches into a bag, pulls out a top and shorts, and tosses them at her.

"in case you needed them."

lulu scowled at him as he undressed, still looking him straight in the eye. her gaze never wandered.

though surprised at the offer of clothes, her left hand went up to snatch them out of the air begrudgingly. she muttered something inaudible. shook her head, and undid her first shirt button.

“whatever.”

shit was embarrassing. maybe that was the point. who knew.

she didn’t fold her clothes up the same way. they crumpled onto the ground, unabashedly, and she replaced them with the compression wear balled in her fist.

once she was dressed, she held her hands out to each side as though to present herself with a trace of sarcastic enthusiasm.

“ok, theo. where is the bastard?”

[attr="class","beck"]ever wonder where swimmers keep their pokeballs?

turning his back to saoirse, he pops one open, calling out his barraskewda. his fingers slip between his compression shorts, readjusting, before finally turning back to her.

"her name's barry. say hello."

barry swims, circling around theo, before her PROPELLER TAIL shoots her out of the water. she almost floats in the air for moments before heavy arms wrap around her, pulling her close. naturally, she squirms and flops, and after a few seconds, she slips free.

"your turn, saoirse. hold onto her for five seconds."

Lulu reached down and snapped the edge of the compression shorts uncomfortably. This wasn’t her thing. She already wanted a cigarette, but they were in a pocket somewhere on the ground. She sighed deeply, irritably.

Where the fuck had he pulled that pokeball from?

Her brow furrowed as her eyes searched, unable to stop themselves from going south if only to figure out an answer to the mystery. She checked herself immediately, realizing where she was. Returned to Barry, flopping in his arms.

Say hello.

Lulu blinked, stared, and, probably predictably, didn’t.

She watched him wrestle the fishie, mortified as she saw herself doing the same. All these years of killing; prison; revolutionary science. They put her here in a stream, to hug a flopping Barraskewda, to… prove something. What? To Theo? She was the Avatar of Darkrai.

Why did she need to wrestle a fish?

Theo was fucking with her. That was why.

Fuck it, though. She’d beat him at it.

“Fine.”

She scanned the water, realizing the sudden difficulty. Uh… where’d it go? Spinning, her look fell into concentration.

[attr="class","beck"]barry zips through the water like an arrow, traveling with ease and precision, unhindered by the currents that carry downstream.

theo brings his arms over his chest, watching with something akin to curiosity. for now, he remains quiet.

after a bit, barry springs out the water from behind, leaping straight at saoirse. depending on her reaction time, this could prove the best opportunity to turn and catch barry, but it could also just result in barry slapping her entire fish body against her.

While Barry’s leap from the water did cause her to jump, she just as quickly wrapped arms around it. For some reason, the feeling of the fish startled her. She made an incoherent noise of displeasure and almost immediately let go.

“It feels weird.” She protested.

But turned about again, searching for the fish a second time—not one to be bested or give up so easily in the face of a challenge.
