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.

[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?

"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.

"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."

[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.]

[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.

"--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...?"

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?"

"Aww!" She coos softly, as she notices his bad mood overtaking him, rather like the figurative/metaphorical storm clouds that he'd mentioned feeling gathering about him... "Of course I'm not being sarcastic, my dearest, most favourite Boss-man! If I were, well-- trust me when I tell you that you would know, because as I'm sure you know, it's no funif no one's in on the joke-- and we are rather alone here, aren't we...?" Smiling almost slyly at the man in front of her, she reached up to catch his face in her palms, and kiss him lightly on the lips. "Mm, yup; definitely my most favourite boss-man, EVER!"

She giggled shyly, and then coloured slightly, as she realised that she may have crossed a line that really did not exist with Iago; after all, her superior had seen a lovely young woman, not yet horribly scarred by the work of the Auror in the Ministry of Magic during a violent civil war. His aim had been children to carry on his line, which was broken with his younger, more sociable brother's hideous death at the hand sof Death Eaters, rather than mere lust for the young pretty thing, but still--

She had been targeted for his advances, definitely, as someone who would not pass the Training Programme without his "help"-- or so he had made her believe, at least...

She thought it best to apologise to her superior officer for kissing him, even if it was a rather pleasant experience for her. "So sorry about that, Sir... I don't know what came over me, honestly!"

He sighed, relieved. "Oh, good then. Now we just wait for the instructor, I supp--whoa!" His reflexes weren't quite up to par to avoid the peck. He's just gonna interpret that as a motherly thing, rather than something more erotic. Still made him blush though. He was all too happy to accept the apology.

"Mm! Yes, well, um...let's direct all future kisses to the cheek and other innocent areas. I shouldn't have to tell you how, erm, awkward that can make things around the office." Almost as awkward as right the hell now. He prayed for sexual segregation once the swimming got started. This hanky-panky was clearly too much for him.

Sousuke had noticed new clients, but as it seemed they had something to talk about, he waited before approaching them. He's dressed in his black swim trunks and a sports sports jersey with the clubs logo on it.

"Are you both here for the lessons?"

[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?

[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.

[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?

No, he wanted to get baptized and wound up here by mistake. Yes he wanted to get lessons!

"Yup! Yes, that's me. Can't speak for her, er, Maria. Presumably, but who can say? Might be here for bachelors. When can we start?" It was hard to say whether Ted or the pool was more flushed.

[Sakura almost jumps before nodding.]

Yes, if that's alright.

It's a very big place.

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

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?

[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...]

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

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?

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.

Did you say something, Gou?

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

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...]

Oh.

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