Outdoor Pool

@[S] Kwon Aeri /keeps his arm still as she questions him about the towel, his expression serious as he looks at her, not bothering to make the same request twice
/takes the towel and hastily rubs it on his limbs and stomach, before throwing it on his shoulder and using the end to rub his hair
You're welcome.
/when she leaves for the bar, he goes a different way, straight back inside the house. it takes him a little longer than it should to find his way along the hallways as he's still new to the place, but eventually he arrives in his room at the masters' wing
/after walking through the door, he doesn't care to lock it before throwing the wet towel on the floor and taking off his swim trunks, planning to take a hot bath in the tub

@[MA] Zhou MI -nods lightly when he says hes done for the night- okay and nope, not a kid, thankfully.
-sticks one of her legs in the water and sighs softly, listening to the gentle splashing of it-
You should try and make more time to swim, you seem really relaxed… but I guess that could just be how you are too -nods lightly-
Y-you want my towel? -she blinks softly and looks down at it with slightly furrowed brows-
But it’s not even dry.. and then I wouldn’t have a towel? -she nibbles her lip lightly and decides to just listen and give him her towel-
-she stands up and unravels the towel from her and passes it over to the master- here you go, thank you for the tea, and having someone to swim with -she said and picked up her tea that had, at this point, been watery tea, and placed her glass inside the masters before taking them strategically back to the bar, making sure she took the lit paths-
-she set the drinks on the bar before looking back at the pool to see if the man had still been standing there or if he had left, thought she didn’t expect him to stay after she walked off-

@[S] Kwon Aeri No, thank you. I'm done drinking for tonight.
/takes the last sip and puts the glass aside
19, hm. Not quite a kid.
/mimics her without noticing and stretches himself as well, though only his back subtly
It is, it's not often that I get the chance to swim.
/stands up and places the empty glass on a nearby table not to leave it completely unattended
It's enough for now, though. The towel
/stretches out his arm, asking for her to give him the towel as he didn't bring his own

@[MA] Zhou MI -she stays cross-legged next to the man, setting her drink down next to her-
-she notices his drink nearly gone- would you like me to go get you another one?
-she sips her tea and decides to pull her wet hair into a simple braid so it wouldn’t continuously get stuck to her skin-
-she looked to the master and smiles- I’m 19.
-she stretched her arms, giving a loud groan as she did-
I always love to float in the pool, it’s always so calm.

@[S] Kwon Aeri I doubt they care about your age in a place like this, but you're right, you should always obey the law. I hate rebel kids.
/turns to her with a smirk on his face, which could be understood as a playful smile, but at the same time it was possible to notice he was honestly satisfied by her answer
/watches the girl go briefly before focusing his attention back to his drink, taking a few more sips
/pauses drinking once she is back, the glass almost empty at that point
By the way, how old are you?

@[MA] Zhou MI -she bites her lip just slightly when she just sees a blur and shakes her head lightly-
-she watches as he leave the water, deciding to use that time to rub her eyes looking around-
-slowly moves around the pool until she hears him come back, looking back to him with a light smile- I’m not allowed, underage.
But, I would like a tea -she wiggles her eye brows a bit playfully before getting out and wrapping her towel around her, though it was still damp-
-she orders a tea with a lemon slice, before coming and sitting nearly a foot or two away-
-sips her tea and but doesn’t put her legs in-
Thank you, si- master. -says quietly as she looks at her tea-

@[S] Kwon Aeri /keeps on staring at the night sky distractedly until the girl talks to him, when he turns to her
Nothing, just the moon and the stars. The sky is clearer here than in the middle of the city, it's beautiful.
/leaves the water and heads to the bar, from where he comes back with a cocktail a few minutes later
/sits down on the edge of the pool, immersing only his legs, letting out a relaxed sigh after taking a sip of his drink
Do you drink? You can order something from the bar if you want, it's on me
/gazes at the cocktail and spins it lightly, producing clinking sounds as the ice hits the glass

@[MA] Zhou MI -she lets her hair down and decides to go under the water to cool off, enjoying the lightness of her hair-
-breaches and gives a light shiver, surprised at the cool feeling-
-watches the man before looking up at the sky to see if he is watching something but just sees some blurs-
-clears throat and looks back to him- what are you looking at? -she looked back up at the sky, assuming it was just the sky, but she didn’t know if maybe there was a plane going by, or a satellite, everything in the sky was just a blur-
-begins to look around and she sighs lightly as she hadn’t realized it had gotten dark-
-she looks at the dimly lit walk way, happy to see at least some sort of light-
-she decided to swim around, thought she made sure to keep away from the master and his space, not wanting to encroach in his space to possibly upset him-

@[S] Kwon Aeri Makes sense.
/replies shortly before starting to swim again, moving away from where the girl is to have more space for himself
/dives for a minute or so to enjoy the relaxing sensation of being completely embraced by water
/raises once more and rests his elbows on the edge of the pool, looking uo to enjoy the night sky. His schedule is always busy and he hardly ever has a moment for himself, staying there quietly gives him a calm, recharging feeling

@[MA] Zhou MI -she watched him swim back and forth, almost wanting to hear a praise for getting in-
-she looks to the other, ready to lash out and get out but instead decided to stay quiet since she knew it was true-
-she continued to float, not liking that he could see so much of her-
It’s a survival tactic. -laughs lowly at the bad joke-

@[S] Kwon Aeri /a reply was on the tip of his tongue, but as the girl laughs it off he opts not to keep the subject going
/swims all the way to the edge of the pool, using the wall to propel himself to the opposite direction
/at that point he doesn't care much if the girl is joining him or not, he already gave her the option to and now it's up to her
/only notices she's in the pool when he pauses swimming to take a break, he lets out a single muffled laugh
You change your mind easily...

@[MA] Zhou MI I guess it depends on if you want to be seen or not. -nods lightly and then processes the sarcasm and looks away, laughing lightly-
-looks to the other and then to her towel, clearing as he starts to swim, not knowing how to react-
W-well I mean, floating would be more fun..
-she nibbles her inner cheek just momentarily before deciding to join him-
-she gets up and spreads her towel out so it can at least dry while she is in the pool again-
-she gets in the pool, though tries to keep her hair dry still-

@[S] Kwon Aeri Isn't it natural for humans to want to feel special?
/replies with a bit of sarcasm in his voice
/laughs at her attempts to deny his claim, the way she's so flustered about it makes him believe he was right
That's a very cute side of you.
/finally starts to swim, without staying long with his head underwater to be able to keep the conversation going
You can stay there and watch me if it's more fun than floating

@[MA] Zhou MI -looks to him, giving a soft chuckle- you want to stand out?
-smiles when she gets the ok to go swimming again-
-watches as he jump back into the pool, getting a little flustered when he mention being with him so badly-
That’s- no! -looks at him and then stands, shaking her head just slightly before gathering her towel-
I was done swimming because /you/ didn’t want me in the pool when you went swimming. I-I wasn’t done floating.
-she shakes her head and moves to the seat, deciding to sit there instead- I will just wait -she nods her head once-

@[S] Kwon Aeri /gives the girl a puzzled look when she averts her gaze, turning his attention back to the garden a moment later
Hmm, I see. Master was a good choice then, makes me stand out from the rest.
/his muscles relax at her touch, his breathing becomes deeper and slower
You can.
/stretches his back and jumps back into the pool
I thought you were done with swimming though, do you want to be with me so badly?

@[MA] Zhou MI -looks off at the house when you look toward her, giving a little head shake of a “no”-
not really, most of the time it’s been “sir”
-notices his back straighten, deciding to focus on that spot-
Mm - says softly as if agreeing and clears -
Can I get in now?

@[S] Kwon Aeri /a little satisfied smile appears on his face as she finally follows his orders
Funny? Haven't you called anyone master before?
/turns his head to the side to take a peek at her, honestly intrigued
/closes his eyes with a hum as she presses on one of his tight spots, straightening his back a little
Just be a good girl from now on.
/replies without looking at her, but his tone of voice is a bit softer than before

@[MA] Zhou MI Well.. I mean you could stand at a lower level then me.
-scoots just a little closer and beginning to reach for the others shoulders-
-clears a little- well that sounds like a funny name. -begins to rub his shoulders, trying to give a decent massage-
-unwraps the towel from her, letting it sit on the floor around her as it began to get warmer than sitting inside with the towel-
-continues massaging your shoulders, using my palms to try and work out any knots I feel-
-looks at the water and then back to his shoulders as she thought back on her behavior, realizing she hadn’t actually said sorry-
-takes a moment before actually speaking up and saying it- I-i’m sorry.

@[S] Kwon Aeri ... I'm much taller than you, you won't be able to massage my shoulders while we're standing
/sighs, bothered by her stubbornness, without moving from where he's sitting
Master.
/he isn't comfortable to give her his name, he'd rather not reveal it to anyone in the house
It's fine. I'm not expecting it to be the best massage of my life.

@[MA] Zhou MI b-but-
-looks up just slightly when he speaks- wh-what if I massaged them /in/ the pool?
-she huffed just softly and begrudgedly gestured for him to move closer-
What’s your name?
-she didn’t say much about the massage as she watched over the man, untrusting of the massage-
J-just know that I’m not the best massager? masseuse? Whatever they are called…

@[S] Kwon Aeri /stays still while the girl seems to be pondering, quietly looking at her with the corner of his eye
You can after you're done. I want to get my muscles relaxed before I swim.
/he isn't letting her off easily this time, his goal at the house isn't to make friends and he wants to make sure he isn't wasting his time before letting the girl stay there with him

@[MA] Zhou MI -sighs softy when you say your willing to accept it, giving a slight stare when want the massage-
-tries to figure out if he’s serious about the massage, staring at him a little cautiously-
-nibbles inner lip just slightly and reluctantly moves to her, sitting cross-legged on the floor next to the pool-
Can I get in the pool?
-blinks softly, looking at her legs, picking at the cement next to the pool-

@[S] Kwon Aeri /keeps on staring at the girl even when she averts her gaze, a little smile taking over his lips at her reply
I see. I'm willing to accept your apology. However, I need to know you really mean it, just words won't do.
/sits on the edge of the pool, his back turned to her
C'mon, my back is still waiting for your massage.

@[MA] Zhou MI -she watches him as he dived in and looked away as she got closer-
-sits on the outdoor seating and watching the other as he began to rest his arms-
-she chews her inner lip just lightly and looks away-
-grumbles it a bit quietly- I decided to apologize for my behavior earlier. uncalled for..

@[S] Kwon Aeri /noticing the outdoor pool is empty, he dives in without giving the chance for someone else to arrive
/rises to the surface and runs his hands on his face and hair to wipe the water off, only then noticing the girl had followed him
/lets out a short laugh and swims to the edge of the pool, resting his arms there
So she did decide to behave after all

@[MA] Zhou MI -she huffs as she watched the man walk away-
Well fine… -muttered to herself as she sits in the seat-
-she waited and thought back on how she behaved towards the man, getting annoyed and she knew she was in the wrong-
-she decided to get up and go out to the outdoor pool, pursing her lips slightly as she saw him-
