"I'm just glad you're not hurt."

He reaches for her hand, and with a soft smile brought upon her lips by the sweetest of his words, she reaches back. But then, suddenly, he pulls away just as their fingers are about to touch, and startled, Lia also pulls back. Oh. Had she misinterpreted his intentions? Is that not what he wanted? Does he not like her like that?
[break][break]
Doubts creep into her heart and bright red hues burn at her cheeks, yet it's his comment that causes her to relax, laughing lightly at the sight of the adorable little Sharpedo he pulls out of the sea.
[break][break]
"Aw, that's a cute one. I had to relocate one of those recently. Huge one, though."
[break][break]
Just as she's about to tell the story, Marshall takes off his shirt, and if her blush had faded at all, it sure is quick to return. He really must work out often... Do motocross racers really need to say this fit?
[break][break]
Catching herself staring, Lia quickly turns away, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear before reaching for her fishing rod one again. Just in time to reel in a considerably large Magikarp. One she releases with both skill and care.
[break][break]
But, as she does that, she realizes that Marshall does have a point: sitting around in wet clothes is really annoying.
[break][break]
"What's the matter? Giving up already?" She teases, standing up to casually take off the shirt she had been wearing. Beneath there's a simple white bikini top, and even though they're also wet, she decides to keep her shorts on. However, if @marshall were to pay attention, he would likely notice the tattoed peach blossoms that bloom all the way up her spine. At least it's not like she minds.

Whatever snappy retort Marshall was about to deliver died when Lia took of her shirt. He nearly tore his gaze away to give her privacy, but he realized at the last minute that she was wearing her swimsuit underneath. Not like that helped much. No, the sight of her bare skin only made Marshall want to reach out and touch her again.[break][break]

And then he noticed the tattoo on her back. His eyes widened with interest, and before he could stop himself, he was at her side once more, leaning over for a better look at the artwork. "I had no idea you have a tattoo! It's so cool!" he exclaimed.[break][break]

Without thinking, he lightly brushed the vibrant petals with his fingertips. The color was so bold against her pale skin, the design so elegant and ethereal. Marshall wished he could hold the blossoms in his hands, the same way he wished to hold her in them. "What are they? Your favorite flower?"[break][break]

Only then did he realize their proximity. This time, however, he did not pull away.[break][break]

In the periphery of his vision, his fishing rod bent so much that the line snapped. The enormous Basculin, a cousin of the that had dragged Lia underwater, swam off with the hook in its mouth, totally unperturbed.[break][break]

Oh, right. The tattoo. Funny how that works, no? When having them, it’s terribly easy to forget about them, Lia having long since accepted this as a part of herself – one she had chosen. Mundane. But, when people see it for the first time, most of them point it out, suddenly reminding her of its existence. @marshall is no exception, and there’s no reason why he should be, but when he says it, she feels rather silly for being surprised… and also for being glad that he thinks it to be so cool.
[break][break]
”Ah, you think so? I’ve had it for a while now.” Lia chuckles, but it’s his next actions that really change things.
[break][break]
He moves closer, much closer than what she had expected him to, and although his fingers do no more than gently brush the design, the feeling of skin meeting skin is electrifying.
[break][break]
”Marshall…” It’s but a whisper, when looking over her shoulder at him, Lia knows she’s blushing. Isn’t that silly of her, though? ”Get ahold of yourself” says the voice of reason. ”They’re peach blossoms. It’s… a memory.”
[break][break]
They represent things. Have meaning to her. She would tell him about it, but it’s then that the moment is interrupted by the sound of boats being called back to shore. The fishing competition has ended and it’s time for them to announce the winners. She had forgotten all about the fact that they’re supposed to be fishing.
[break][break]
So, there and then, the smile Lia gives Marshall is one slight, gentle, and sweet, her gold-toned eyes looking up to meet his. She does not move away from him.
[break][break]
”Looks like we should head back…”
[break][break]
Maybe, if she’s lucky enough, the Basculin she had seen before will still be nearby.

The way Lia was looking at him made Marshall's heart beat a thousand miles a minute. He felt himself lean in, like his body was moving on its own, his brain be damned.[break][break]

And then, as if the universe was telling him NOT TODAY, a massive Magikarp leaped out of the water right next to their boat. The resulting wave rocked their boat sideways and totally drenched them a second time. Marshall scrambled to grab onto something so he wouldn't be thrown overboard. Miraculously, their boat did not capsize, nor did they lose their bags or rental equipment.[break][break]

"Let's head back," he said, laughing at the incredulity of it all. A quick tap of the navigation screen woke the Rotom sleeping in the computer, so that it could drive them back to the pier.[break][break]

As Marshall started gathering his things, he gave Lia a warm smile. "Thanks for inviting me out here today. This has definitely been the most exciting fishing trip of my life. Let's hang out again after Splashfest."[break][break]
