I am unsure of how to answer that. Probability says yes but...
[Sion never actually took the time to check.]

Never mind. We'll stick to the shallow end of the pool at first. I'm not sure I'm capable of teaching you how to swim. You know me and patience.
[She says as she starts moving again and pays their entrance to the pool. Time to claim some lounge chairs and then sunscreen up.]

[If Akiha means 'without patience' then yes, Sion knows what she means.
But Sion is more than happy to take the sunscreen bottle.]
Roll over and allow me.

[She better be. :|
Akiha pulls her coverup off, revealing the one-piece suit underneath. She lacks what Sion has to wear a bikini. She sweeps her hair out of the way as she rolls over.]
Make sure to get a bit under the edges and the straps.

Of course. If your skin ends up being burnt, I will take responsibility.
[Sion methodically puts an appropriate sized drop of the lotion on the different parts of Akiha's back before starting to rub it in.]

Mmm.
[It feels nice. A part of Akiha almost wants Sion to miss a spot so she had an excuse to have her rub aloe onto her at a later time.]
Be thorough.
[But her skin was more precious than that.]

I am trying!
[They're in public, so while doing her best, she's certainly not doing extra. Just getting the job done so hopefully she won't get watched.]

I know. [And she knew Sion was nervous. Once done, Akiha sat back up and pushes her hair back.]
Shall we go in? And you can't keep that on. [a gesture to the coverup.]

[Yes, she was hoping that she could keep it on. Hesitantly, she starts to take it off and then suddenly just drops it, as if ripping a bandaid off.]
Quickly now...
Quickly now...
This is a time to relax. I will not run to the pool because you're embarrassed someone will look upon you. That style of suit is designed to be looked at.
[She finally started to get up.]
And I did say I would defend your honor if I must.
[She finally started to get up.]
And I did say I would defend your honor if I must.
[Just because Akiha would defend her didn't mean she wanted to be looked at.]
At least you will not mind if I walk behind you.
[Stick as close to her as possible, that is.]

[Sion miiiiiiight pick up on Akiha's disappointment in her words.]
[Sion miiiiiiight pick up on Akiha's disappointment in her words.]
[Akiha can check her out form behind later, if that's her goal. But until they're in the water, she's practically attached to Akiha's back.]
[That and a part of her wants to show Sion off. But mostly it's the former.]
Ah... Nice and cool.
[Because OMG is it hot in Nevada in the summer. It might be normal temperatures for Sion, but not Akiha. She likes it in the 70s.
She turns back to Sion to make sure she's getting in the water, as shallow as it was. She then ducked underneath it to wet her hair and get it out of her eyes.One does not wear a headband in the pool.]

[After gingerly stepping in, she drops down a little so she's up to her neck in the water. Her hair is still tied up so she has no issues here. And despite not knowing how to swim, she doesn't seem to be all too scared of the water.]
I find it a little chilly.
I find it a little chilly.
You'll get used to it quick enough.
[Putting her back to the wall, Akiha drapes her arms over the deck and lets her legs float up.]
You know the body's naturally buoyant, so the key to swimming is not to fight that buoyancy.

I may not know how to swim but I am not stupid.
[She took slight offense to that, as if she didn't know that.]
[She took slight offense to that, as if she didn't know that.]
I just said that you know about buoyancy, Sion. But if you're so smart that you won't listen to me when I try to help, go ahead and teach yourself how to swim.
If you're going to snap at me when I try to teach you, yes. I know you're not an idiot, yet you don't know how to swim. How else am I going to get you to understand how to swim?
It's not like I'm just going to throw you into the deep end.

Still...
[Sion was still going to be touchy. She didn't know what to do, which meant that she didn't know something. Which was something she hated.]

[Akiha tilted her head back against the deck, closed her eyes and THEN rolled them.]
Tch. No one else would put up with this.
Okay, mimic me and let you legs float. To get the feel of it.

[We all know the real reason Akiha puts up with it.
And Sion moves over beside Akiha so she can copy her.]
Like this?

Relax more. We're in shallow water; you're not going to drown.
