Since the water wasn't exactly deep for the girl, it most certainly wasn't deep for him either, but he did not mind it as.. he still wasn't sure about what to do. Sure.. swimming.. that was easy to say. He was able to swim, of course.. although he couldn't remember where he had learned it. He did have to swim before, in that part of his life that he could remember.. although of course, that hadn't been.. enjoyable at all. Like most of the painful memories that he had.. it was kinda fuzzy. It was next to a beach.. but he, and the other soldiers were in the water, desperately trying to reach the shore, in the middle of the storm, while people from the beach were firing at them.. it was cold.. it was chaotic.. there was blood everywhere.. and the screams..he just couldn't compare that to the happiness of this moment, the calm all around him, to the warmness of the water, to the laughter of Elaine..he had forgotten that.. life could be more than.. pain.. and hate..
"This is.. nice..", the blonde boy calmly responded.. a pretty vague response for anyone else, but for him, having that much of an opinion was.. pretty much. But it was clear that he was still a little confused, even if he enjoyed the water.."What should we do?"
Elaine's eyes lit up as she heard him make a comment of his own as they waded through the waves. Where the water was at her knees, if not a bit above, the water probably only reached barely above half his calves for him. Still, now that he was in the water with her, she felt a little more comfortable with it and waded in to her upper thighs. She couldn't help but smile, not realizing how relaxing something like this could be. If she could've, she definitely would've taken more beach trips if they'd been like this...and when Slaine asked what they should do then, a thought struck her and a mischievous smile found its way to her face.
Within a moment, the dark-haired girl had swung her arms into the water and flicked them back up, sending a substantial amount of water towards his upper torso as she exclaimed "Water fight!" and desperately tried to get away from the splash zone as quick as she could. She nearly tripped from the pull-back of the waves twice, and with her back turned, she was more than open for him to initiate an offensive attack right back at her.
Slaine followed the girl deeper into the water, simply enjoying it. He had no idea what he could do in such a place.. or at least, he did not remember, that's why when Elaine splashed all that water towards them, while shouting something about a water fight.. the blue eyed boy remained there, confused, as the water directly hit him.
What was this..? She had called it a fight.. but the purpose was clearly not to kill or hurt your opponent.. so why fight on the first place? This made no sense.. but then.. he nearly. he nearly remembered something. Water.. warmness.. such a contrast to the few memories that he still had from his past.. or what he thought that it was his past. Like the memory.. of that night.. the night before all of it had started. But his planet.. was sick. Dying. There couldn't have been a place like this on it.. and yet.. why cos he remember that? Why did the concept of this.. water fight.. seem so familiar to him? And why.. why did he, for a brief moment, nearly remember the face of a young, blue eyed and blonde haired girl?..
But this wasn't the place to think about that, and his moment of hesitation.. didn't show on his face at all. He had started to show some more expressions or feelings, but for the most part, he was still maintaining his usual composure.. but then, as if he knew what to do, he swung his arms into the water, and he splashed a substantial amount of it towards Elaine's unprotected back.. as a smile appeared on his face.
