I want to swim away but don't know how

[insecrets]

Characters: Finnick Odair, everyone who was interested from this post, and OPEN.
Date: Backdated to around the day of the post and over the weekend, since there was a lot of interest
Location: On a boat. On the ocean. On the shell's edge? Idek.
Situation: Fishiiiiiiiiiing.
Warnings/Rating: Innuendo, for sure. Will edit if needed.


[Since arriving on Tu Vishan, Finnick's felt like he's going to explode. Like one day, he'll just not get out of bed again. Thankfully, the pull of the ocean is stronger than his need to simply stop existing for awhile. Fishing is as natural to him as breathing, and while he had really wanted to have quiet time to himself, he likes that so many people are interested in either joining him or having him teach them how it's done.

He likes that a lot more than being alone. He can't be alone anymore.]


[ooc: so feel free to assume whatever day you want to go out with Finnick. With so much interest in the post, I figured this would be the easiest way of doing it rather than having everyone come out all on one trip/one day, yada yada. c:]

[She takes off and hovers a few feet off the ground, in case he freaks out. His weight doesn't seem to bother her at all.]

The ankle wings aren't purely decorative.

[He does still the moment they're off the ground. It's not like he hasn't seen a lot with Capitol technology but this isn't technology. This is a person who can fly.]

You're some woman, Nita.

[littlecousin]

You bet I am.

[Modesty is not a trait with which her family is burdened.]

Yell if I'm going too fast for you.

[Nita pops them up above the level of the buildings, then shoots off like an arrow toward the shell edge. Her top speed is around 80 mph, but she'll ease off if he asks. Regardless, it's much faster than a cart or even motorcycle ride.]

[Finnick has been on a few different types of transportation before, but it's not exactly the same as catching a ride from another person. His grip on her tightens a bit, but he manages to not yell because... Well, he might want to, but he's trying to remain somewhat manly.

There's also something pretty thrilling about the whole thing. In a way that doesn't require alcohol or drugs.

And soon enough, he can see the shell's edge, when it would have taken them awhile to get out here.]

[He's handling it well for a first time. A lot of rescues scream and cling like limpets, not that she really blames them, since there's usually a building falling on them or something similarly terrifying.]

Next stop: this place's sad excuse for a beach.

[Nita sets them down lightly on the salt-rimed bare scales at the water's edge. The exercise hasn't tired her at all; she's not even breathing hard.]

[insecrets]

[Regardless of the thrill of flying, Finnick's more than happy to be back on solid land- er, solid turtle. His legs tremble a bit, and he sighs.] That was definitely a new experience.

[Nita might not be breathing hard, but Finnick is. He grins anyway.] Beach is a bit of an overstatement, don't you think?
