It's worth a proper swim, isn't it?

[ Come oooooon, buddy. ]

[bywolves]

What counts as a proper swim? [ As far as he's concerned, he's swimming fine!! ]

[devoutish]

Feet off the ground.

[bywolves]

[ Because Royce is a dick, and he's sitting in the water further up, he just lifts his feet off the sand. He's still sitting, he's just got his legs floating in front of him. ]

[devoutish]

And shoulders in.

[bywolves]

[ Royce raises his eyebrows. ]

What difference does it make? I'm in the water with half my clothes off, Solomons, that's swimming enough.

[devoutish]

I just want to see if I can get you to do it.

[ :3 ]

[bywolves]

Well, now that you've told me that, you'll never see it happen.

[devoutish]

[Have some splashes, Royce. They're aimed at your head.]

[bywolves]

[ Hiss!! Royce splutters, and then kicks his feet to splash in Alfie's direction like a child. ]

[devoutish]

[He ducks underwater briefly, resurfacing several feet further away.]

You could reach me better if you were in the water, couldn't you.

[bywolves]

That is not going to work on me, Solomons. [ He's gonna stubbornly park his butt right here and not get in, just to be contrary. ]

[devoutish]

Contrarian.

[He says it lovingly.]

[bywolves]

I hope you're not just figuring that out now.

[devoutish]

[He scoffs and waves a hand, trying not to smile.]

I hope you're not gonna sit outside of the room when we go to figure out this DVD player of yours.

[bywolves]

I should, if only because I'd find it funny to see you struggle with the damn thing.

[devoutish]

I'm better with electronics than you.

[bywolves]

Do you know how to work a DVD player?

[devoutish]

Nah, we don't have 'em at home. Is there a crank to start it up? A button?

[bywolves]

Then I'd say I know how to use electronics better than you. [ First off. ] And I'm not telling you.

[devoutish]

I bet it's a button. It's always a button in the future.

[bywolves]

[ you're a button ]

Lips are sealed. Give me back the wine, what did you do with it? [ where did it go ]

[devoutish]

Why don't you come in and get it?

[Royce, you had to expect that one. He holds up the bottle teasingly.]

[bywolves]

[ ALFIE PLEASE ]

Absolutely not. I have plenty back at the house. [ Nyehhhh. ]

[devoutish]

[Dammit, he'd thought he might have him there.

Slowly, he starts to swim closer, bottle in hand.]
