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.
[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 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.

[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.]

Shall we go in? And you can't keep that on. [a gesture to the coverup.]

At least you will not mind if I walk behind you.
[Stick as close to her as possible, that is.]

I find it a little chilly.

[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.

[She took slight offense to that, as if she didn't know that.]

[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.]
no subject
Tch. No one else would put up with this.
Okay, mimic me and let you legs float. To get the feel of it.

And Sion moves over beside Akiha so she can copy her.]
Like this?
