TEL VISHAN BEACH PARTY

[akito]

Characters: OPEN
Date: Saturday, August the 9^th
Location: The Shell 'Coastline' nearest the Water Sector
Situation: Baby Turtle Beach Party!

-

At the edge of Asti's shell there are coastlines of natural deposits that make up the closest thing to a 'beach' that they'll ever find in Keeliai. It's here that the official Tel Vishan Beach Party is set to take place. All turtle 'parents' will have gotten a message from their respective hatchlings about said party (perhaps a nice change from the whining and the temper tantrums).

Temporary shaded areas built with poles and sheets for weary parents or hatchlings who do decide to come, and some simple snacks and refreshments have been set up as well. There's a fishing net set up to act as a volleyball net for the day, and a ball waiting in the sand for some players.

The rest is up to those who come.

Comments

[iwannabeadragon]

Hawke looks down at his pants and then out to sea. When he turns back to her he frowns at her as if he were a child. "You're no fun you know that?" The amused glimmer in his eyes though say otherwise.

With that, he trudges through the water with her back to the beach.

[alterer]

"No, I'm not," she replies with a smirk. Nilin folds her arms and tries to look stern. "In fact I'm a very, very serious person Hawke. Always. All the time."

God it's hard not to be in good spirits around him though, even when she's just pretending. "I mean it."

[iwannabeadragon]

"Well then," Hawke begins as he quite suddenly puts his arm around her shoulders and grins at her with something akin to affection. "It's a good thing you've got me around to help lighten you up."

Right now Hawke doesn't care if anyone sees them like this. Hawke feels close to Nilin, closer to anyone he's known in years including his companions from Kirkwall, which is saying something.

[alterer]

It's rare for Nilin to let someone touch her, let alone embrace her like he is. They've become close this past few months. Nilin doesn't want to think about what might happen when they go back to their homes. It's too sad a thought. Friends are rare in her life and Hawke is something special.

Thus she lets him keep his arm there for a few seconds before nudging him playfully in the ribs with her elbow. "I'm not sure you draping yourself all over me is lightening the load even a little, Hawke."

[iwannabeadragon]

Thoughts like that are ones he's not about to entertain right now on this beach. Hawke much rather spend his time with Nilin doing and thinking happier things. Friends might not be as rare for him as they are for her, but he rarely lets anyone get this close to him.

Hawke grunts softly and his arm slips away from her. "That's no fun. I was just getting comfortable too." Part of him already misses holding her that close and for once, he doesn't immediately shove that feeling to a place where it can be safely ignored.

[alterer]

"I just told you what a serious person I am, Hawke. There's no time for fun in my busy, busy schedule."

And to prove just how un-fun she is, Nilin kicks water his way.

[iwannabeadragon]

Hawke stops as she kicks more water at him, giving her a challenging look. "Oh really? Maybe it's time you took a vacation from such a busy schedule."

He moves towards her, mischief clear to see in his eyes. "I can always take you swimming again."

[alterer]

"And I can throw you across the beach if need be," Nilin says with a laugh. She wouldn't. Not really. But they both know she could.

That said, for each step he takes forward, she takes one back.

[iwannabeadragon]

Oh he knows it but right now Hawke just doesn't care. Hawke continues to stalk towards her, trying to appear serious but failing. His lips turn upwards in a playful smile despite how hard he tries to fight it back.

"No, no I definitely think you need a vacation. You need to remember how to be fun." He starts moving a little quicker.

[alterer]

"Now there's a compliment," Nilin argues, chuckling as she does. She folds her arms and stops, holding her ground as she stares him down with mock offense.

"Are you saying I'm not fun, Hawke?"

[iwannabeadragon]

Hawke comes to a stop only a few inches short of being in her face."If I recall, you're the one who said it first not me. I'm just trying to help."

Then he crosses his own arms and leans forward slightly. His voices lowers so that only she can hear him. "Did anyone ever tell you that you're cute when you pout?"

[alterer]

"I am not pouting."

Because if she says so, it's true. That's how this works, ok Hawke. Just the same, she'd appreciate if he ignores that she blushes ever so slightly with the words.

And with that, she takes a backwards step and smirks at him.

[iwannabeadragon]

His face lights up as she blushes, but chooses to say nothing about it. She has an affect on him that no other has. The man is absolutely taken with her and puts little effort in hiding it.

"But you've got no problem with me calling you cute. That's good to know."

[alterer]

"Oh I've plenty wrong with it."

It's making her blush and she really doesn't know how to handle that.

"My point, is that since I'm not pouting, there's no way your 'cute' comment can hold any weight."

[iwannabeadragon]

"Ah I see then," Hawke says, nodding sagely and stroking his beard.

"How about this? You're cute when you get when you're worked up like this." For as much as he teases her he still speaks the truth. Nilin is cute, hell she's far more than just that.

Besides, he's made his feelings rather strongly known already.
