I: Closed to Nagisa & Rei

[Sousuke was full of negative emotions, due to sum of many things. There was a very noisy puppy whose owner didn't even know her, a very noisy child Nagisa who cried a lot if he got lost or if Sousuke seemed mean and stupid dreams about swimming happily with Rin at the Olympics. He had somehow managed to keep his emotions in check to keep the situation from exploding, but now that most of it was over, he needed a break.

He agreed to close the swimming club as the last person around tonight. This wasn't anything unusual. Sousuke often did that, since he wanted to review some of his students' progress at the same time. This time, however, he had different plans.

Once everyone else was out and he did all necessary work to officially close the club for the day, Sousuke headed over to one of the pools. He was still dressed like he normally was around work so it was easy for him to strip and get down into the water after acquiring a pair of goggles. Then he just began swimming his main form; the butterfly.

This wasn't what he was supposed to be doing. Not when his shoulder was still unhealed. Of course just a round or two wouldn't hurt that bad, but when the time in the pool just kept increasing the problems clearly started to make themselves known.

Without caring about them, Sousuke kept swimming. He could deal with pain. He just needed this right now.]

II: Around Genessia (OTA)

[It was a (forced) day off for Sousuke. When he wasn't working, he didn't have much to do. Usually he shopped for food ingredients or something useful for the apartment, but today he spacing off and staring into the distance - either walking aimlessly or sitting somewhere. With his level of attention he had a high chance of just bumping into someone, which led to a nonchalant "Sorry" on his end.]

II: Around Genessia

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura has started to help Fai out in Everglade though she still takes extra time to head home and rest. Without more of her feathers there is no telling what might happen and Fai is known to worry.

While walking she's lost in thoughts about rather depressing topics so she doesn't notice Sousuke until he's bumped into her and she's falling onto the sidewalk. She blinks a few times and then looks up feeling horribly disoriented.]

I'm sorry.

[beautifulcalculations]

[Dealing with a tiny Nagisa should be easier but the puppy and child proved that logical theory wrong. Nagisa seemed rather behaved at times and others a complete terror. That's just who he is that was Nagisa. Rei wasn't gonna change the other in any kind of way. He would be patient for as long as he was able. Only that when you're around kids your nomal though process goes out the window. There's too many distractions. He left Sousuke close by himself so that he could leave with Nagisa but he forgot something. It was strange to see the lights to the pool area left on. Perhaps Sousuke forgot to turn them off? He gives a sigh as he walks on over to the door.

Rei wasn't really paying attention at first but when he came in, he froze staring at the sight before him. A thing of beauty and grace, something he didn't really get to see in private like the other Samezuka members. It was Sousuke swimming the butterfly. Wait...

Something was off about that. No matter how beautiful it was that was Sousuke. Sousuke with an injured shoulder who could make it worst.

But something stopped him from screaming at that moment wanting to stop the other. Rei would feel the same way. He would want to swim too even if hurt. It's the water that beckons them forward. That deep blue that changes all the time for different reasons. How could he possibly stop Sousuke while he seemed to be doing okay. But for how long would that last before his shoulder would break completely?]

What to do...

[He slowly approaches the one side of the pool along the outside. Rei didn't want to be in the shadows. He wanted Sousuke to know that he knew at least.]

[Aurora had managed to get a stable job to at least get some money in while she considers her options when it came to her other job or two. She needed to use people in order to get what she needed to, which meant she needed to figure out who was useful and who wasn't.

Today however was a day she was out surveying without much thought and soon found herself near colliding with the other. She as grateful she was fast enough to evade it at least.]

Rude much. He~llo.

[Sorry, Sousuke. Rikku generally likes to collect a little extra money here and there and when the person themselves isn't paying that much attention or is prone to bump into people, it's a perfect set up for her to grab some of your bills. Hopefully you notice before she "apologizes for bumping into you" and disappears in the crowd.]
