Free? Why, that had Ted's name written all over it. He rushed on over, eager to be the first to capture this provincial offer. He stood there eagerly, in trunks and goggles, looking around for whomever would add "moves through water like a minnow" to his growing list of Guardian qualifications.

((LMAO! Oh Teddy...)) [Action]

[aphotic_auror]

"Oh..." If Maria had been expecting to see her new boss (he was technically her boss, wasn't he? As the Head of the Guardian Office?) decked out in a horrible pink-and-green pair of swim trunks-- well... She MAY have chosen to walk right past the damned Swimming Centre, and instead, saved him some shred of Dignity. As it was, however, she was struggling to not laugh at the damned goggles and the equally funny trunks-- though at least he was rather fit, she was happy to notice.

Not that she had been particularly Wishing to see her boss shirtless; no, she'd had quite enough of that from Iago, after all... (Yes, her ex-husband was also her superior officer, as well! What of it?)

At any rate, she was finding it more and more difficult to keep her laughter in check, the longer she stood before him, in her own modest swimsuit, that she had, of course, magically altered slightly to hide her scars from her initial arrival here in Genessia, so they wouldn't keep her out of the pool on account of an "open wound" that she KNEW wasn't one any more...

"Hey, boss..." she finaly managed to say, mildly enough, considering she was literally biting the inside of her cheek, to keep her "cheeky" attitude in check.

I like how people feel free to assume he wears ridiculous things. Always.

[youfool]

"Oh! Hello Maria. Fancy meeting you here." Ted's tickled pink to be called "boss", given his youth and lack of real job experience till now. And in public, no less. However, that sentiment was balanced by a touch of embarrassment at being around one of his deputies half dressed. Would it have been better to bring a full-body swimsuit? Were they even supposed to change right away? As usual, Ted ignored all these things in haste.

He crossed his arms, both because he felt a little defensive, and it was the only attempt he could make at covering up. "You must be thinking of a terribly amusing joke. I won't allow it to go unshared."

because he DOES, doesn't he? =P be glad I ditched the Green-and-ORANGE combo for Green-and-PINK! xD

[aphotic_auror]

"--Sorry, what?" And here she thought she had kept her laughter in check-- but then again, Ted was painfully observant-- nearly as much as herself, in fact!-- and probably noticed the dimple in her cheek, created by her biting it on the inside. "Oh! Not a joke, necessarily, you understand. I was just-- well. Admiring your figure, which is so much better to look at than my last superior officer's, you know...?"

Re: because he DOES, doesn't he? =P be glad I ditched the Green-and-ORANGE combo for Green-and-PINK!

[youfool]

Oh, Ted's not observant. It was just that obvious. With her lucid amusement combined with talk of his figure, he began to feel a little self-conscious. Was she being sarcastic? He worked out with Vyers all the time, and he'd just taken up sword practice. That had to count for something, right? Was his diet so poor that it countered all of it? Egads! Think of what people would think if their Guardian couldn't even muster up enough effort to get in shape!

Dark clouds hung about him. He forgot his embarrassment, for a moment, to darkly ask "You're...not being sarcastic, are you?"

[Sakura is a little nervous but she wants to learn and swimming isn't something she's good at. She had, after all, grown up in a desert. She reads the sign on the swim clubs doors about a hundred times before peeking inside the main pool area.

She has a bathing suit in her bag but she doesn't want to change until she's sure it's okay. She also brought some cakes she made as a thank you for the free lessons.]

Hello?

[Action]

[overexertion]

[Sousuke's there, watching as some of the people he's not teaching were swimming. He looks at Sakura's direction.]

Hi. [He gets up from where he's sitting.] Here for the lessons?

[Action]

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura almost jumps before nodding.]

Yes, if that's alright.

[Action]

[overexertion]

Of course. [There's a very small smile on his face.] The changing rooms are that way. Meet me here once you've changed.

[Hikari had been told to take things easy and well swimming seemed like the right kind of thing to do during a break, right? So here she is in her cute little pink swimming costume standing there ready for her lesson.]

action;

[overexertion]

[Sousuke's arriving after Hikari, as he needed to sort out some paper work in between lessons.]

I'm the coach, Sousuke Yamazaki. Welcome to Sametobi SC.

action;

[eighthchild]

It's a very big place.

[It was bigger than she thought it would be, it was impressive.]

action;

[overexertion]

You have to have space for all the different kinds of pools we have.

[Sousuke thought it was impressive how well they managed to organize the place so quickly to be honest. At least it worked out.]

Do you have previous swimming experience?

action;

[strawberrypenguin]

[Nagisa was at the pool today himself. After all he had a system he was meant to do being when not at work and he was trying his hardest to keep up with it. Towel on his head, he was watching him from the distance.]

Taking your job as couch well enough.

action;

[overexertion]

[Sousuke swifted his attention from the other swimmers to Nagisa when he spoke. He had noticed the blond had been around, but hadn't had the time to talk with him.]

I wouldn't want to let Gou down. [It was a job she got him into, so he would do it as well as he could. Even if just watching others swim sometimes made him anxious.] You're working hard too, huh?

action;

[strawberrypenguin]

Trying to, I guess.

[He thought maybe he wasn't doing too much. perhaps he wondered if she would be happier if he did more. It was a thought that passed through his mind for a moment as he rubbed the towel on his head, letting it dry up a bit.]

Probably should try harder, though. [He smiled slightly.] But it begs the question do you enjoy your job?

action;

[overexertion]

Nothing wrong with your own pace. Especially when we don't have competitions.

[At least, not yet. It would be different if they had more people from their world around.

Though that question gets him suspiciously silent. He can't go and say 'of course I do' right of the bat, because it's not completely true. Yet it's not completely wrong either. Swimming was just complicated now.]

I don't hate it.

[muscle_maniac]

[Well.. It wasn't the best advertisement, but it was something at least.]

Oh.... Come to think of it... [She still didn't know how to swim herself... Maybe she should learn too but... she didn't know if she was ready to try...]

[overexertion]

Did you say something, Gou?

[Said with a curious tone. Hi, he just happened to pass by.]

[muscle_maniac]

Oh uhm.... I was just thinking out loud. It's nothing.

[She is a manager and owner of a swimming club after all... She should really learn but all she can do is think about the whole thing with her dad...]

[overexertion]

Oh.

[It looked a bit more than "nothing", but Sousuke won't try and make her talk if she doesn't feel like it.]

[Action]

[weavemyownfate]

[Satsuki is a busy woman, but when she saw the text, she took it upon herself to find at least a little bit of time to check things out. She doesn't know anything about Sousuke of course, but it's.. It's just a thing she does.

That sign's pretty bad, but whatever, getting everything right on the first try isn't easy to do here in Genessia.

She arrives at the poolside adorn in her usual outfit, a mix of a military and a school uniform, with an officers' coat her shoulders and cap upon her head, but her presence is primarily made with a distinct clack of heel against tile.

To the first person she finds, she speaks in a flat tone:]

Excuse me; I am looking for Sousuke Yamazaki.

[Action]

[overexertion]

[As opposed to the quite official looking outfit, Sousuke is casually wearing his black swim trunks and the jacket of the outfit that has the swim club's logo on it. The differences in outfits is rather radical and it makes Sousuke amused. Very deep inside, as it doesn't show on his serious-yet-relaxed face.]

That's me. How can I help you?

[He's not going to assume that she's come here prepared for swimming lessons, because of how she looks - even if he's not sure why else anyone would contact him.]

[Action]

[weavemyownfate]

[Before responding, Satsuki's eyes shift downward then back up. He certainly looks the part of a swimming coach, and she feels a slight connection in terms of serious expressions.]

My name is Satsuki Kiryuin; I would be interested in a tour of your facility if you have the time.

[Action]

[overexertion]

[Sousuke isn't really sure if he can pull of giving a proper tour, but he might as give it a try. It's part of his job... maybe. He's not sure about that either.]

I just finished with my previous client, so yeah, I have time. [The next one would come whenever they would. This was an open day so you never knew. At least Ryugazaki would be able to guide them to the waiting area.] This way, then.
