TWO YEARS AGO, A CRIMINAL ORGANIZATION GOING BY THE NAME TEAM IMUM WRECKED CHAOS ACROSS THE LAND, DAMAGING CITIES AND KILLING THOUSANDS OF CITIZENS. While Imum itself has long since been disbanded, however, the region remains broken: entire towns have been laid to waste and the Association struggles to find homes for those who were lucky enough to survive the attempted genocide. Reconstruction trudges on as usual... but with three factions - the Association, the corporations, and the people - each wishing to take the rebuilding of an entire region down opposite paths, how long will it be before Lyeant's last leg gives out permanently?

[attr="class","jartox"]
[attr="class","jartoxpic"]
[attr="class","jartoxlyr"] LETS GET THIS STARTED
[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
"Do you wanna get wet?"[break] "Bai, I already don't like the sound of that."[break] "What? No. I meant the water park."[break] "... Huh. That actually doesn't sound too bad."[break] "Good. 'Cause I'm right outside of your door. Right now."[break] "WHAT?!"[break][break]
And that, folks, is how her morning started. Or.. Rather, her afternoon. [break][break]
It was a pleasant day; a pleasant day where she found yet another bunch of work piled up on her desk. The morning was mainly comprised of her groaning and working; working on papers and the like. Yes, you would expect the CEO to be working the majority of the day, but you wouldn't think that she would have to worry about far too much because she has other people doing it for her. Unfortunately, since coming over to the Lyeant Branch of the Silph Co., she's been forced to doing more work than she as supposed to; even when she's pretty much the face of the company in this specific region. The young woman couldn't help but to groan in exhaustion and dissatisfaction alike, simply hearing that people couldn't pull their acts together and actually be productive for once. For. Once. In their damn lives. And though she understand that this is a war torn region; she would at least think that the other chairmen in this region would at the very least, be more competent with their work. The Salazzle Gijinka mumbles to herself in distaste while she was ordering the papers; ordering, filling out forms and taking her time to arranged meetings and the like. Unfortunately, her secretary wouldn't be assigned until much, much later; only because apparently the current one was on leave for whatever reason. And though she understands; people need breaks. This is a war torn region; it's understandable that the fatigue would eventually get to you. But on the other hand.. Really? She'd rather not.. Have all this work dumped on her. [break][break]
It's no wonder she eventually got fed up with all this. Hell, she could have sworn that she was growing white hairs from all the work she's stressing to get through. She had to order the papers, respond to other deals and then business partners, topped with a approving and looking over projects and the like. Then there was the issue with the Parallax alignment itself along with Irisia as a whole, and then she had to go meet the other few powerhouses of the Irisia. On the other hand, she also had to worry about her other.. Connections. Connections that she, personally, would prefer to cut herself off from. Connections that she wished that she didn't get mixed up with, because it went from something that would hurt the entire company, to something that would personally damager her reputation and the public opinion. The last thing she wanted was to be exposed with a certain piece of blackmail of all things, and for the past while, she's been living with the faint paranoia that she will be bothered and eventually exposed. Even though she had only been in the position of the Branch's CEO for the span of a year, it also means that she'll be taking the fall with the company itself; along with her family's reputation and her own, personal shame. That was not something she could afford; but now she wonders how she gets herself mixed up until this trouble..[break][break]
And she's about to call it a day, finally finishing up the rest of her work. And surprise surprise; look at who calls. She just happens to see her phone ringing at the time, and then she picks up. Hears that usual, smooth voice and - without any context whatsoever - asks her out to the Water Park in his own way. She'd be lying if she claimed that she didn't get even the slightest bit embarrassed when he asked that, but that reaction was covered up with a subtle hostility in her voice until he clarified the situation. But then.. Yeah. He ends up dragging her out to the Water Park himself, assuming that she would agree without a care in the world. Now she's here thinking "The hell does he think he is? Being all smug and confident in himself like that!" while she was being (willingly) dragged over to the attraction. In spite of the fact that it was winter, Irisia had it's own thing that would let people enjoy the water in all seasons; what with it's advanced technology and the like. It's not long until she's brought over to the Water Park with a close friend of her's-- ...[break][break]
Yeah. That's right. A friend. [break] And he was just a friend. [break]
That is, that's what she assumed. That this was just another event of friends hanging out; childhood friends hanging out, because it couldn't possibly be anything else. She tells this to herself as she stares into the mirror within the change room, pensively reminding herself that this was just two friends hanging out. It was just them going to have their fun, like they did when they were kids. Even if they were adults - even if they have been adults for the past decades or so now - it was still going to be a hang out, like from when they were children. Once again, the Salazzle Gijinka tells herself this as her tail slowly sways from side to side, both at her feet as the tip is nearly dragging itself on the ground. "... Yeah, shouldn't keep him waiting~" A smile curls onto the woman's lips as she slowly pulls a black scrunchie from her bag; and with that, she casually wraps it around her wrist to tie up her locks of purple; up into a looser bun to hold it all up. But of course, she's maintaining those bangs over her right eye; or.. Her blind eye, that is. If you can't see through it, there's no point in trying to clear the hair to give it a nice view. With that, she gives herself another smile into the mirror before pulling the curtain out of the way. She strides over to the rack of lockers, quick to toss her belongings in there before swiftly walking out. In accordance to the setting, she was wearing a simple bikini, along with a pair of shorts for the sake of the water park. But.. Knowing him? He was.. Probably gonna make sure that she left entirely drenched by the end of this.. [break][break]
With the gentle roll of her eyes, she walks out of the changing room itself. But she sees no sign of the man she came over with, and now she's on guard. "... Bai, I swear to--" She starts; Gods.. He calls her over and he's no where to be found? He definitely couldn't have taken longer than she did to get ready, and now she's left standing around like an idiot while trying to look for him. Jasmine slowly crosses her arms under her chest, mumbling to herself in a foreign tongue while turning her head to look at the surroundings before her. [break][break]

[attr="class","lost1"]Get ready for this~.
[attr="class","rise"]
[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]...I'm only a tiny bit surprised that this actually worked out so far, but Hell if I'm complaining.[break][break]
Such were the thoughts that had crossed the mind of one Bai Hu Wang as the day grew older and passed steadily by within the lost seconds and minutes to time; a deep, silent breath being inhaled gradually before it had been expelled within an otherwise louder and seemingly louder and exasperated manner all the same. Bai Hu was a man of many things, truth be told; slyness and cunning natures being two of many upon the seemingly endless list of his own qualities- regardless of whether or not the aforementioned qualities could have been considered good, bad, or maybe even anything in between, as well. When taken into account of those that knew him upon a more closer and friendlier level, however, one would have likely skipped past all of the surface traits that were more than easy to guess from him with nothing more than several minutes' times of being around him and interacting with him. As was stated, he was always known to be rather cunning and sly. Alongside that, some thought him to be overbearing and perhaps even intimidating- which, in all honesty, was something that was more than true in specific scenarios. Confident, expressive, and flirtatious were easily some of the more common ones that were capable of being labels that accurately matched him, as well. Sarcastic... Snarky. Casual. Maybe even a bit rash.[break][break]
...And then in the case of those same people who were much closer to him?[break] They'd almost immediately claim that he was somewhat spontaneous, and definitely a dork.[break] ...And we're talking Grade-SSS dork. Not even a single S. Not even an A. No.[break]
This man was a Grade-SSS dork when he wanted to be.[break] The dork boss supreme, if you will.[break][break]
And upon the dork boss's decree earlier that day, he had taken it upon himself to request the audience of a particular, better, and closer friend of his; one that he had known ever since his own childhood, back in the yonder days of the times through which he called Sinnoh his home, and Snowpoint City his own, personal winter wonderland. As per his common greetings, he contacting her in one of his many, many stupid openings. Something...moist sounding. Something that had to fit the occasion, as well as his plans. Something that could have easily implied something along the lines of 'splish splash,' or even something like 'swimming,' if not both at the same time. But...at the same time, that something had to be somewhat obscure. Maybe not original, but just...something obscure enough to throw someone off and make them spaz a little bit.[break][break]
So, that was why he called up his to-be companion for the day and literally asked her if she wanted to get wet.[break] Top tier invite opening for a top tier dork.[break][break]
Top tier invites for a top tier dork who was inviting a top tier friend. Everything had to be top tier, so it was pretty much go big or go home- and for what it's worth, it worked out in the end since he managed to get her to come out with him in the end anyways, right?[break][break]
Damn straight, bro.[break][break]
Damn straight, indeed. Damn straight, and that’s what brought him to where he was within the current moment. It had taken him little time at all for him to dress out ever since arriving at the water park - mostly due to the fact that he’d come in his swimming trunks, a tank top, and a pair of flip flops; complete with everything else within a duffle bag for later on - and had already placed his belongings within one of the many lockers offered to the public. For a short while, he had been waiting outside and closer to the poolside while waiting for the person that he invited, but after a minute or two, he had convinced himself to retreat for the meantime.[break][break]
Specifically into a shadow, because boy.[break] Boy.[break] It was time for an ambush.[break] Her fault for taking so long.[break][break]
Her fault for taking so long, and her fault for stepping out clear into his general line of sigh after she was ready. He hadn’t waited too long for her, but that hadn’t stopped the fact that he was dying to trip her up in some sort of way. So, as she began to glance around in what he assumed to be a search for him, he slowly traversed the nearby shadows in order to find hi way around her.[break][break]
Ladies and gentlemen, he’s on the prowl… He’s going for it…! He’s gonna do it…!”[break][break]
He burst out of the closest shadow before sprinting towards her when the clearing was less crowded; giving an unceremonious scream when as he literally tackled her from behind and into the waters before them.

[attr="class","jartoxpic"]
[attr="class","jartoxlyr"] Hello posting spree my old friend
[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
Arceus, Bai. [break][break]
If you're going to invite her out, at least show up on time. Even though she didn't think that he would take.. Too long. The violet-haired woman quietly sighs to herself. She crosses her arms in distaste, sighing to herself as she casually gazes out across the pool. But though she appears irritated and impatient, she was actually internally trying her best not to freak the hell out. Call her childish all you want; please do, actually. But in the core of her heart, part of her was really excited to see him in.. General. Ugh.. Frankly, she felt really weird wearing something as revealing as this. Even if it was only a plain black bikini with a pair of shorts, she still felt uncomfortable with having her tail hanging out. The fact that there wasn't a damn hole in her shorts, specifically for her tail. That being said.. The woman slowly adjusts the lower piece of her swim wear, groaning to herself in distaste as it pushes against the base of the longer, slender appendage. "... Dammit." The lizard gijinka quietly curses to herself. This.. She really didn't think this through, did she? No, she didn't; much to her dismay. Frustrating as she was, she made note to be subtle about it. It was already embarrassing enough from the looks she got from the few, other patrons that intended to have their own fun time. Ugh.. Why did she think this was a good idea again?[break][break]
Right, because she was a damn work-o-holic.[break][break]
And with yet another sigh, Jasmine idly stands around to wait for her friend. But again.. Now she's wandering into her thoughts. Deep, violet hues glare downwards in pensive thought, like she was trying to glare daggers into the ground. But.. Honestly here; you tell her. What should she think of this? Usually when a guy asks you to go to the water park with him, it's usually.. A date, right? Like, a date, date. One of those dates that a guy takes you on when he's interested in you; especially if it's just the two of you. It should be a date where the guy does have some interest in the girl, and she only accepted (willingly) because she was interested in him, too, right? Yeah, that's exactly what she told herself. And though she's trying her best to maintain that thought, her eyes narrow at the metaphorical individual that was screaming otherwise; because they were childhood friends. For all she knew, he was just bored and thought it would be fun to call her over. [break][break]
For all she knew, he was bored. For all she knew, he didn't have anyone else to bother. For all she knew, he was just having fun getting reactions out of her. For all she knew, he could be messing with her, again. For all she knew, he could have been toying with her because he really, didn't have anything better to do. Of course, she tries to quickly brush off and dismiss the most recent thought, but it's not something that she hasn't suspected and grew to believe - never mind considered the possibility. And with another soft sigh, the violet haired woman grumbles quietly to herself; there's no need to wander in her thoughts. Especially while she was waiting for Bai; especially when she was supposed to be waiting for him. Because again, it's just a--[break][break]
And all of a sudden, she feels a weight against her back. She can't react fast enough, but her eyes widen as a squeak escapes from her throat from pure instinct. Her spine straightens and her ears perk as the sudden screaming from behind. But, alas, she's unable to react quickly enough. Thus her attempts to turn around or to move out of the way were utterly futile. Hence, the woman could only shriek as she's pushed into the water by aforementioned childhood friend. "WHAT THE--" So she starts, only to be interrupted by the sudden 'sploosh' into the water. However in retaliation, before she was submerged, the woman grabbed onto the man's arm to pull him in with her, so the both of them fell into the water. Thankfully, for the sake of the two of them, it was deeper water. That being said, Jasmine's usually wavy hair went back to being straight for once, as she latches onto Bai's arm, one hand holding his while her other arm was hugging around him. [break][break]
While hugging on, she pulls herself back above water with a less than impressed expression on her face. "Bai, the heck were you doing?!" The woman scolds, finishing the intended statement from earlier. Her tail curls from beneath the water, all while she's trying to ensure that her head was above water level. Yeah.. Fire and water do not mix. Only reason why she's hanging onto him was because she couldn't swim. [break][break]

[attr="class","lost1"]Get ready for this~.
[attr="class","rise"]
[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]Mission accomplished, ladies and gentlemen.[break] We successfully got the Salazzle wet.[break][break]
From the moment he brought himself to abruptly burst from within the bounds of the shadow, matters had moved exceedingly quickly as a result of his own actions; successfully resulting in some sort of interrupted scream of the very woman that he sought to tackle over- and much to his amusement, nonetheless. The sequence of actions moved along swiftly; from his reappearance, to the abrupt sprint that he carried through the clearing, and then to the overall tackle that procured the somewhat wild splash he induced. At the last moment, he took note of the fact that, as he practically shoved her forward, she pretty much instantaneously latched on to his arm; something that caused him to fling over a bit more than he initially planned to. Albeit, he intended to follow after her into the water, as well, but he hadn’t quite expected her to cling onto him so suddenly and tightly.[break][break]
...That being said, he may or may not have screamed because of the unexpected and additional force that stacked on top of his own momentum as they broke the water’s surface.[break][break]
It was quick to be drowned out - quite literally - once he found himself submerging beneath the water’s surface, but with a rather ungraceful and sudden burst upwards and back into the air, the man lifted his head out of the water; aggressively shaking his head while continuing his screaming and seemingly victorious laughing as if it hadn’t even been interrupted by the fall, either way. ”I’M GETTING YOU WET. WHAT ELSE?” he practically shouted with a highly amused and playful grin all the same. WIth a few more vigorous shakes of the head, he rid his hair of as much excess water as he could before lifting one of his hands - the free one, specifically - in order to ruffle it as he peered down at her. ”I did ask if you wanted to get wet, after all~. Look at you now. Now you’re all wet and moist, so you’re welcome, there,” he added, patting her cheek softly.[break][break]
...Don’t let the smiles get to you, though.[break] As much of a dork as he was being, he’s still perfectly capable of bench pressing you out of a third story building.[break] Capable, being the key word. Of course, he wasn’t hear to bench press anyone.[break][break]
So, instead of threatening to chuck people across clearings, Bai Hu merely shifted the arm that his companion seemed intent upon clinging onto; hooking it around enough and bending it a faint bit in order to flick the bottom of her chin gently with that same, ongoing grin lingering upon his expression. ”...I mean...that, and you could stand to improve your swimming skills,” he cooed rather casually, shrugging. ”I get you’re a fire type, so you’re so, so intimidated by water, buuuut… Hey~. It’s a pretty useful skill, so I thought I may as well give you a little push. ...Literally and metaphorically~.”

[attr="class","jartoxpic"]
[attr="class","jartoxlyr"] I'm not sorry
[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
This idiot. [break][break]
He was on all means, an idiot. A big, dorky idiot. As she's clinging onto his arm, she can only stare at him in silence. She'd be lying if she said that she wasn't expecting that answer, and it was that which made her quietly groan in distaste. "Do me a favour--" She starts, only to gently flick her finger against the surface of the water. The droplets of water fling towards his own face, with the intention to have him flinch or cringe at the water that made contact to his face. After watching whatever reaction she got from that, the violet-haired woman smiles to herself as her other arm tightens around his - more to keep her afloat. "And never do that again." Because as much as she loves you, Bai, she also hates you sometimes. Especially for pushing the fire type into the pool of water. His louder voice seemed to catch the attention of the couple other people, hanging around the pool and such. The eyes were wandering over to the two of them, which prompted Jasmine to literally shover her hand against his face to get the guy to shut up. "Bai, dammit! You're too loud!" And yes, folks. These two are CEOs of larger companies; with the Salazzle practically owning the Lyeant Branch of Silph. She's spazzing in the pool with a childhood friend. Professional, no?[break][break]
Formalities aside, Jasmine dunks herself under the water without too much of a warning. This time around though, it was to fix the bangs that were practically covering the rest of her face in general. Hell, she probably looked like a blob of purple hair with how the locks were floating on the surface. It's not long until she resurfaces, fingers combing through her hair. However this time around, unlike how she normally has her bangs concealing half of her face, she brushes the bangs over her head. One of the rare times she reveals the entirety of her face, only because she prefers the peek-a-boo bang over her blind eye. That one blind eye that Bai clearly doesn't know about. But hey, at this point? It was a glass eye. One of which was connected to her nerves so that it would move the same way she would tell it to. With that, a pair of deep, violet hues stare at him from where she is, lips curling downwards to give him a clear, unamused pout. "Idiot.. I never agreed to getting drenched!" [break][break]
She only agreed to spending time with you. [break][break]
Not like he would ever know that. That being said, the woman grumbles quietly as she continues to hug onto his arm in that subtle frustration and irritation. All while she's listening to his explanation, she continues to grumble incoherent words before narrowing her eyes. "You know as well as I do, that I can't swim for the life of me." And though she says, her Salazzle tail continues to slowly sway beneath her. It pushes against the water, rather, in her attempts to keep it from spazzing violently in the presence of water. Thankfully, she could afford to cling so closely with her hormones - only because they were dampened with the pool itself. Her pout however, was quick to turn into subtle surprise as his finger gently taps the bottom of her chin. The simple action itself, is enough to prompt a faint hue of red to spread across her cheeks. And at that, the woman hisses foreign words under her breathe, shortly before tilting a slightly pink face to him and splash him with water - a bit more violently this time around. [break][break]
"You can give me a push all you want, you know I can't swim." And though her voice has that edge to it,you can see the faint smirk pulling at the corner of her lip. Jasmine slowly lowers her free hand, allowing it to rest above the water as her other hand (the one holding onto Bai) lowers itself down his arm. Unfortunately for her, the weight and pressure she puts on it prompts her to actually slip. "Eep!" This sudden drop prompts her eyes to widen in near shock, paired with a sharp inhale as her entire body instinctively curls up. So yeah. She dropped. She sank, up until she was able to catch herself by grabbing onto the man's hand itself. Her fingers wrap between and around his palm, and she uses this to pull herself back up and above the water. This time around however, her hair was.. Once again in front of her face, so now she looked like a giant, purple cookie monster. [break][break]

[attr="class","avatar"]
[attr="class","lost1"]Get ready for this~.
[attr="class","rise"]
[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]As per his common demeanor, Bai Hu himself merely continued to peer towards his neighboring companion with that same, ongoing, and more or less dorky smirk; only ending it as his face and general expression scrunched in both distaste and unappreciative reactions in response to her flicking gesture. Within the same, general span of time, he leaned back on instinct and gave a grumble - one that truthfully and actually sounded more like an awkwardly distressed grumble, if anything else - as the water flung up in response to her movement and flew into his face. An exaggerated cough sounded from him as he quite literally spat and sputtered a little bit of water out, and went on to whine quietly while poking at her with his free hand. ”Tsk~... That’s meeeaaaaan, Jaz~! Really mean…!” he went on jokingly, giving her a subtle, childish pout. It remained upon his general expression before instead contorting into the earlier, signature smirk that he wore on a common basis; instead opting to lift his hand another time before slapping it down on the water’s surface within the areas closer to her. ”And what was thaaat…? Don’t think I heard you over--”[break][break]
The very reason why she facepalmed him.[break][break]
And the very reason why he immediately gave another, aggressive sputter while shuffling back rather suddenly within the waters; the action swiftly followed by the same hand that was used to cut the water’s surface lifting itself up before pressing itself into her own, pushing it aside in order to move it away from his face. ”Motherfu-- Alright, alright…! I get the memo…! Goddamn…!” he screamed for a final time, whining aggressively in response to his companion’s actions. A quiet grumble escaped his lips; low, pouting murmurs in foreign tongues of his own sounding softly under his breath as he turned his head a tad more in order to gain a better look of the woman next to him after she more or less dunked herself into the water and resurfaced little more than a few seconds later. For several moments, voids of a nature, azure hue - as he had prompted to remove his crimson colored contacts in the dressing rooms in for sake of his own eyes’ safeties - were brought to loom upon the aforementioned person; scanning her form and general behaviors before he clicked his tongue. Yet again, he lifted his hand, and - once he took note of the fact that she had been brushing her bangs back - he took the opportunity to quickly flick her forehead a couple of times. ”...For the record, though...I could agree to disagree,” he went on, shrugging leisurely all the while. ”I mean, you did agree to going to a damn water park~. I dunno what the Hell you were expecting, ‘cause getting drenched in one way or another is pretty much implied by the place alone~.”[break][break]
By the end of those most recent words, the pout that he wore had instead been replaced by a rather faint, sly, and amused smirk of amusement all the same; its form small, yet still clear upon his expression as it tugged upon his lips within a slightly mischievous and teasing manner. Chuckling softly upon catching sight of the soft flush spreading across her cheeks, he merely gave her another, smaller shrug before tilting his head a small bit; and action that was rather quick to be reversed and replaced with another sputter as she splashed another wave of water towards him. He coughed and spat a little more water out while wiping the excess water from his eyes and face in general, flicking her temple that time around. ”Pfft… Real mature, there, Jaz~,” he murmured sarcastically. ”Aaaand you say you can’t swim for the life of you- which I get~. Doesn’t mean you can’t be taught, though,” the man said simply, raising an eyebrow at her. He nudged his arm against her gently, nodding towards it before giving her another glance. ”After all, I ain’t always gonna be here to be your damn lifeline~. You never know, either. Maybe one day you’ll be forced to swim, and I’d rather hear that you were able to swim and save yourself instead of flail and drown~. That being said--”[break][break]
Truth be told, he had been about to sneak his arm away from her grasp with the intent of taking both of her hands within his own; preparing himself to turn enough in order to face her for sake of aiding her in at least being able to gently and slowly paddle around. However, before he was able to do so, he felt a rather sudden shift in pressure; his eyes widening within an initial sense of surprise as the waters next to him were abruptly disturbed as Jasmine fell in. Another, foreign tongued murmur - one that seemed to be a curse - escaped his lips as he immediately turned and dunked himself in out of instinct; opening his beneath the surface, and - although with a blurry sight - managed to determine where exactly she was. He reached out and took her hand around the same time that she herself extended her own towards him, and he resurfaced just as quickly as he submerged while doing his part to pull her back up.[break][break]
He shook his head rather vigorously and aggressively once he was above the surface again; ridding his hair of as much of the water weighing it down as he could as he used both of his hands to secure the neighboring individual. ”Arceus, Jaz… You say you don’t have butterfingers, but you literally just took it to the next level right now…” he groaned quietly, peering back down at her. ”Seriously, one day you’re gonna--”
Now, if he had to be honest, he didn’t know where he was going with that statement.[break] He didn’t know, so that’s why it was somewhat of a saving grace that he had his attention caught by something else.[break][break]
He stared at her and the manner in which her hair basically shrouded around her for several moments before snorting and poking at it gently.[break][break]

And there he is, folks. Being the idiot he usually was. [break][break]
Jasmine can only stare at him between the few spaces in her hair, gradually beginning to grumble in her mother tongue; a grumble that contained a soft, foreign curse as she resurfaces above the water. Though quiet, she's slowly looking up from the water as she registers his words. Her fingers gently begin to tighten around his own, gripping onto his hand to secure them together just a bit more while registering the earlier events. Sure, she knew fully well that he was making sure that she wouldn't fall to her damned death. Sure, she knew that he wasn't just going to let his childhood friend drown in a pool of all places and sure, she knew that there really shouldn't be anything that makes her think otherwise. But in spite of the fact that there shouldn't be anything to clearly initiate it, the woman found her face flushing the tiniest bit under the shade of her hair. It was faint-- And even then, her hand was instinctively trying to tighten around his; although at this point, it was less to keep herself up and more for another reason altogether. But just tightening her grip made her heart skip a beat, even if she refused to admit it. [break][break]
"Sh-Shut up. I don't have butterfingers; I just told you I'm really bad with water, okay?" She retorts as her tail begins to slowly sway under the water. Rather, it was more trying to keep her up and floating if anything. The woman finds herself slowly beginning to peer back up at him, moving her hand above the water to gently tug a larger amount of drenched, and heavy, hair from her face; all get a better look at the man. Unfortunately for her, the first thing she notices is the smile and near smirk he had on his face. And see, here, he actually had the damned nerve to actually poke at her while nearly making fun of her situation. The woman groans once again, narrowing her eyes at his latest statement. And that, is what prompts something more of a pout from her initially flushed expression. [break][break]
And this, folks, is why she's flushing for a different reason now. [break][break]
"A-A pumpka--" She nearly sputters at his comment. Her brows furrow in distaste and denial all the same as she tried to move her hair from her face. Once all that has been moved away and dealt with, Jasmine uses her hand to gently flick some water his way. Even if she couldn't swim in it, it was damn useful when trying to get the Gengar to behave. "O-Oh shut up..!" So she's saying in a grumpy tone. But as she's narrowing her eyes in apparent irritation, her naturally amber eyes glance over to his other hand beneath the water. With that, she reaches down and over him to grab onto it, locking both their hands and twining her fingers with his. She's initially floating in silence, but the generally reddened expression was more than apparent. Once again, her heart finds itself racing with that simple gesture. It was innocent, simple and.. Honestly, it wasn't something she should be worked up over. This wasn't something that she was usually worked up over, and she didn't think that it would be something that could make her near speechless for a moment. [break][break]
To act as a reality check, Jasmine once again tightens their grip momentarily before relaxing a fair amount. Though her heart's pounding in her chest and she can feel the butterflies rebounding in her stomach, she still finds it in herself to grumble in distaste. "... You keep telling me to learn how to swim, so y-you better be prepared to teach me." And a pause. "O-Or.. Something. I'm not a damned butterfingers.." Once again, she narrows her eyes to the side as she grumbles to herself. Even though it wasn't anything that she should be getting worked up over, her heart was still racing. It was racing but her legs were trying to keep her afloat. And the worst thing? The fact that he could see how much she was beginning to flush. She couldn't exactly keep eye contact with him, hence why her gaze fell against the surface of the water. [break][break]
Either way, that doesn't change the fact that she wanted an excuse to stay close to him. [break][break]

[attr="class","lost1"]Get ready for this~.
[attr="class","rise"]
[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]In response to the initial stare that he acquired as a result of his first statements and responses alike, Bai Hu found his smirk absentmindedly broadening throughout the general span of time that he focused upon his companion; a speck of laughter failing to stifle itself within his throat, and those slipping from his lips faintly within the grand scheme of things. Azure voids narrowed faintly as if emphasizing the degree of amusement that he felt within those particular moments in time; one brow furrowing all the while, and the remaining arching upwards. ”As bad with water as you are keeping a grip on things~?” he mused aloud with a continuous smile; snickering while nudging her softly all the while. He barely spared a faint glance towards their hands as he took note of the fact that she seemed to maintain and even tighten her own grasp upon his own - despite his commentary in regards to the whole ‘butterfingers’ ideal - though merely glanced back towards her yet again without saying much about it for the moment. Rather, he stuck his tongue out and shrugged instead of calling her out on it right away. ”And yeah, Jaz. A Pumpkaboo~. You look like a frickin’ Pumpka--”
And as could be easily guessed and assumed, he wasn’t quite able to finish that statement- and if anything, he really just gave an aggressively exaggerated sputter as water flew into his mind throughout the same time that the words themselves were supposed to be coming out. Tensing up somewhat suddenly, be quickly spat out what few trickles of water splashed inwards; immediately going on to give her a pouting glare while childishly going on to swat his hand through the water to send a bigger splash right back at her. ”Booo…! Fuck yooooouuuu…!” he whined all the while; quirking his lip while softly flicking her nose and forehead alike soon afterwards. ”Geez… Real mature, there, y’know,” he went on in a more or less joking, yet at the same time, hypocritical manner. ”Reeeeaaaaaal mature. Shame on you~.”
For a short while, the teasing smirk of amusement continuously played upon his lips throughout those remarks- though his eyes themselves seemed faintly more focused and interested within what her hands were doing just a little bit more by then. Although he hadn’t quite allowed the aforementioned smirk of his to diminish, the fact of the matter was that the gestures in themselves were more than enough to make them ponder a tad more- and although his heart hadn’t been beating nearly as quickly or intensely as hers was within those same moments, he would’ve been lying if he even so much as dared to claim that the confinements of his own chest weren’t suffering from a similar, pressuring rhythm from within its own walls. He eyed her hands for a little while more - especially after he found her fingers twining together with his - with a vague speck of thought within his gaze altogether before peering upwards to meet her gaze once more.
...Or he tried to, at least. What with how she seemed to focus on the waters rather than him, and all.
Nevertheless, he took her latter words to mind before quirking his lip in thought. Another glance was spared towards their hands, and - after giving a swift, yet instinctively gentle squeeze of her own hands within his all the while - he shrugged while snickering softly. Given his height, it was safe to assume that it would take a fair amount of depth for him to actually make an effort to keep himself afloat, so he simply eyed her while taking a few, initial steps backwards; attempting to pull here a little bit further towards the deeper ends of the pool itself.
”Hey- I wouldn’t have suggested this if I wasn’t willing to~,” he spoke back with another, teasing laugh. He took another step back while tilting his head; his smile broadening all the while in both curiosity and further amusement all the same. ”Really just depends if you’ll freak out while I try to or not~. It’s up to you, really~.”

[attr="class","jartox"]
[attr="class","jartoxpic"]
[attr="class","jartoxlyr"] So this is really short whoops
[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
Now she's here wondering; How do you expect her to stay focused and calm when they were practically locking hands together? [break][break]
Her lips part to give him a response-- Or.. She's about to give him one, until the water flies into her face the same way it did his. She quickly shuts her golden eyes to shield them from the water, only to begin sputtering and gently flicking her wrist to the side. Once a sufficient amount of water droplets were flung off of her hand, she brings it to her face to gently wipe any excess water that may have clung on. It's not long until she's met with his hand in front of her face, intended to later flick her forehead and nose in a childish manner. And with that, Jasmine responds in a low whine before returning the gesture. Though, it was more of a gentle poke against his nose if anything. "Sure, like you're any better~" Her brows furrow in distaste and disdain alike, however the smile that pulls at her lips marks her subtle amusement clear. "Hypocrite~" [break][break]
But even when she's glancing up to him, her gaze eventually falls back towards the water's surface. She finds it difficult to look at him, difficult to maintain contact for longer than she would like. Of course, he was the same old Bai. Same old childhood friend of hers. Same old jerk who liked to play around and tease the ever living crap out of her. The fact stands that he was her best friend and even though she was more or less comfortable with making physical contact like this, it didn't stop her from flushing on occasions and finding it difficult to maintain eye contact. Could you blame her? No, you couldn't. But her thoughts are interrupted by the faint - but noticeable - gentle grip of his hand against hers. In response, she instinctively tightens her own grip. Her heart skips a beat at the simple and faint gesture, however she tries her ever damn hardest to ignore it. [break][break]
Because no, Jasmine. This isn't the fucking time to be getting giddy like a middle school girl with a petty crush. [break][break]
But before long, she finds her body gradually drifting over to the slightly deeper parts of the pool. Though she should have been able to touch the ground by barely grazing her toe over the ground, the gradual slope towards the deeper end prompted her to instinctively grip onto his hand all the harder - more out of fear if anything. Water and her did.. Not mix, which this time around was understandable. It hadn't been quite much a help with how she couldn't swim to begin with, even if she did enjoy the cool temperature that it offered. Cool, up until Bai himself sucked all the warmth from the water itself. "Wait, Bai, don't go into the water so qui--" But it was too late. He was already a good distance into the pool, and she found herself leaning forwards with her stomach against the water to keep herself afloat. However, her tail resists the urge to wave around in a frantic panic as she's trying to slowly paddle her way with her kicking legs. [break][break]
Nevertheless, she attempts to hold onto his hands while kicking against the water. Unfortunately, she ends up bending her elbows to get closer to him, and she finds it difficult to keep herself up. [break][break]

[attr="class","lost1"]So who's on your mind?
[attr="class","rise"]
[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]Throughout the time that he gently and gradually waded himself backwards and towards the farther and deeper ands of the pool itself, Bai Hu had - despite his amused and mischievous smirk - taken care to keep his grasp upon her hands firm and unwavering while he led her further away from the poolside; ceasing vaguely as his own feet began to depart from the bottom of the pool floor itself, though only for a moment before he himself angled himself back a faint degree for sake of continuing to keep himself afloat. Eyeing the neighboring woman for several moments, he narrowed his eyes within a mock sense of pensiveness; quirking his lip while examining her form before sighing. ”You’ll be fiiiiiiine,” he reaffirmed her, shaking his head. Voids of a natural, icy hue of azure wandered across her form before focusing upon her arms; taking note of the manner in which she seemed to draw them closer towards her body once more within a seeming sense of discomfort before clicking his tongue. In response, he merely angled himself further back while softly kicking his feet further beneath the surface of the water in order to send himself a little bit farther away with the intent of gently extending her arms once more- though all the while, he still took a continuous and copious amount of care to keep his hold upon her hands secured and constant. ”You’re worrying too much, Jaz… Just focus on keeping yourself afloat- and keep your arms straight while I’m holding onto your hands,” he went on. ”It’ll mess with your form if you keep bending them everywhere~.”
With those last few words spoken, the man himself eyed her with a seeming thoughtfulness that lasted for little more than several, seemingly intense moments before he flashed her yet another smirk while narrowing his eyes. For a split second, he allowed one of his hands to let go of hers - though solely for the purpose of flicking a gentle wave of water her way once more - before immediately taking hold of the aforementioned hand once more for sake of stabilizing her form. ”Aside from that hot sec right there, I ain’t gonna be lettin’ ya go any time soon, so just relax, alright~?” He shrugged faintly while going on within his own, swimming motions; gently and slowly swimming backwards. A glance had been cast over his shoulder, and once he took note of the fact that there seemed to be other people beginning to come within closer quarters, he slowed his pace while tilting his body to the side; using the maneuver in itself to bring both himself and his companion into a gradual turn towards the left for sake of hooking around within a widened u-turn, of sorts. ”Just focus on the legs. Work those legs. Hot legs~. We can work on the hot arms later.”

[attr="class","jartoxpic"]
[attr="class","jartoxlyr"] So she may or may not have checked him out?
[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
"Lies and slander."[break][break]
The woman hisses a quiet bit, golden eyes narrowing to the side as her hands vaguely grip tighter around his. They were moving towards the deeper parts of the pool, which prompted her to hang on all the harder. This was stupid. She felt stupid. You have a fully grown woman struggling to swim in water, and she has her childhood friend teaching her how to do so of all people. The lavender haired woman stares at him with a single, golden eye. Him and that smirk.. What's he so amused about, anyways? Stop staring down at her like that, it makes her feel like you're just.. Trying to mock her. But even then, she knew that he wasn't keen on letting her drown any time soon. He was holding onto her hands rather tightly and--... Well, she was doing the same. She was holding on, while keeping that gaze up at him. Hah..Wow. Couldn't take her eyes off him, even if she wanted to. Even when she should. Even when he was being a snarky jerk to her. Snarky as he was, the subtle drop of tension within her arms at least.. Showed that she trusted him more than she feared the water. To some degree, that is. [break][break]
She was stupid to think that Bai Hu was just going to be taking her out to the waterpark for a little hangout or something-- Okay. This was a hang out. This was just two friends hanging out, and that's why he asked her to begin with.. Yeah? Yeah, that's it. That's why she was holding his hands right now and that's why he was holding onto hers; just to make sure that she didn't fall. Just to make sure that she didn't slip through the water, and just to make sure that she didn't go drowning herself. Her ears perk up to listen to his instructions, both of which prompt a quiet grumble from her before slowly beginning to put some distance between the two of them. Jasmine however, tightens her grip a bit more as she moves back and away from him. And for a moment, she's actually beginning to relax as her stomach floats on the surface of the water. Locks of drenched lavender split down her back, but at the very least, her back was straight and she could stay float so long as she held onto his hands. In that same moment, the woman takes a deep breath and sigh of relief. [break][break]
Then he lets go. [break][break]
For a split second, he lets go of one of her hands. Jasmine was startled to no ends with this, immediately widening her eyes at the same time her heart nearly stopped from the shock. The flick of water to her face didn't help her, either. In response, she turned her head away from him and began to pull her hand back - which started with her beginning to sink. Again. Thankfully, he was able to catch her before she sunk again. Golden eyes glance up to him, brows furrowed in distaste before sticking her tongue out and blowing a small raspberry at him. "Screw you, too." So she responds with. Not letting her go asides from that one second there.. Jeez. He nearly gave her a frickin heart attack. It wasn't her fault that she was horrible in the water-- So now he was just.. Screwing around with her. [break][break]
But even so, Jasmine maintains that stare on him. Mainly because.. Well, there isn't much else to look at. There was only water and him in front of her and.. Well, yeah. There isn't much else. But it's urm.. Kind of difficult to not look at him. Even though they were childhood friends, she wasn't one to deny when someone was attractive. And while Bai himself was.. Not a bad sight to look at - and hell, she could admit that he was attractive, - she also wasn't one to be voicing that out. Not when it'll be feeding his already large enough ego. Not when that would only be encouraging him to tease her more than he already did. Ugh.. No, Jasmine. No paying attention to those things. He's your childhood friend, you've known him for years, now. It'd be weird for you to think that.. Probably. Ugh.. Whatever. Her thoughts were briefly clouded with those images, hence why the woman was weakly kicking her legs under the water. She occasionally glanced over her own shoulder before redirecting her view back to make eye contact. Or.. Only one eye, that is. [break][break]
Because he may or may not know what happened to her other eye yet. [break][break]
But at his latest statements, the woman found herself narrowing her eyes and groaning a slight bit. "Jeez.. You don't have to put it that way.." Jasmine starts. She maintains a rhythmic time, trying to keep her focus on Bai Hu of all people instead. But even then, it was difficult to swim and pay attention to the water. You know, because it's something that could kill her in no time flat? Yeah, that's the problem, here. So rather than focusing on the water or staring up at Bai like a starstruck middle schooler, Jasmine takes a deep breath before narrowing her eyes to get a glance at her kicking legs. "A-Anyways.. Asides from dragging me out to the water park, have you done anything interesting today?" She starts. Small talk should help, right? It.. Usually did. Plus, it would at least stop Bai from snarking so much, and it would take her attention off.. Other things. Yeah. [break][break]

[attr="class","lost1"]So who's on your mind?
[attr="class","rise"]
[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]As if he had been hurt by her earlier statements and responses, Bai Hu furrowed his brows and clicked his tongue; quirking his lip into a soft pout as he narrowed his eyes and grumbled softly in mock distaste and offense all the same. ”Me? A liar~?” he repeated with a touch of nonchalance despite the generally offended expression that he took care to maintain within those given moments in time. ”I’m offended, Jaz~. Absolutely shattered that you would say and think that--”
Aaaaand then he blew a raspberry. The biggest damn raspberry as he continued to float backwards while pulling her along.
And if that wasn’t the biggest hint that gave way to his sarcasm - on top of the fact that he was already sounding pretty pompous and snarky beforehand to begin with - then Arceus damn him to Hell, because he couldn’t fathom to think of any sort of way that could have emphasized his sarcasm even more than that in itself. But despite that possible rudeness that others could have perceived from that snark of his, he still acted within a more or less casual manner as he swam along, himself; legs kicking softly beneath the surface as he allowed his arms to remain extended, using his own friend as a sort of balancer and mediator of his own weight and form while he guided her along the waters. After a small while had passed, he found himself lounging a further bit more backwards; making sure not to accidentally kick the woman before him as he swam along, though also taking care to assume a position closer to laying down as he continued along. Eventually, the back of his head would have been submerged within the waters for the most part, yet at an angle all the same in order to enable him to look up and possibly directly at her once more if he needed to- but for the most part, he took the moment and position in itself to his advantage, and used it to relax. His eyes closed for a short while.
So thankfully for her, he didn’t exactly see that once over that she gave him. Thankfully. If he didn’t close his eyes, he totally would’ve seen you, Jaz.
But anyways, he kept himself in his own little world for a short while, but upon hearing her latter inquiries, he took a moment before opening his eyes once more. He stared up at the sky for a few moments; humming softly in thought before averting his attention back to her once more. ”Eh…? Anything interesting…?” He gave another pause to mull over that question for a little while longer, though he eventually shrugged and clicked his tongue once more. ”Ehhh… Not really, I guess. I mean… Jared almost came up to me and snipped a chunk of my hair off earlier today, so that was a thing. Love him to death and all, but, like… It’s my hair. You don’t screw with my hair.”

[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
As much as she loved him, she just felt like strangling him sometimes. Jasmine nearly rolled her eyes at his feigned offence, listening to his bout of childishness without batting an eye. "Yeah, real mature there, Bai." So she says, but the woman quietly lifts her head up to blow that same raspberry in his direction. Her expression had fallen flat while mimicking his same nonchalance-- Hell, one could even say she had gone completely stoic. Jasmine had been known to be stoic the majority of her childhood, especially in her earlier years before her frequent meetings with Bai and his siblings. Back when she could actually keep a relatively composed expression without breaking into a mess. If you didn't think that was possible, folks, here you go. But truthfully speaking, she only ever lost her composure more often when she was with Bai of all people. Being childhood friends played a large part in that, but then there's his actions to consider. [break][break]
And that's usually what got to her the most. [break][break]
Nevertheless, she found his childish bouts amusing and entertaining. Even then, well.. Seriously speaking. You can't blame her for giving him that once over, you know? Like.. He was right there. Like, right. There. So thank god his eyes were closed, otherwise he wouldn't let her live that down. But for the time being, she lets the both of them float down the waters. Thankfully he didn't start kicking her and assumed a position that would be comfortable for the both of them, otherwise she.. Probably would have kicked him in return. No hard feelings, but you don't kick her. You hurt her and the Salazzle will hurt you in return, and all. Jasmine maintains her gaze up to him, pensive staring turned into aimlessly drifting off to thought so.. Yeah. Okay. It did look like she was staring at him from others. The woman's only snapped out of her temporary daze at his voice, and thank god she's able to lower her mouth under the water, while also taking care to keep her nose just above the waterline. You know, air and all. [break][break]
Her arms are extended and for a brief moment, they tighten their grip as she's mulling his words over. Earlier words, that is. At his latter words, the woman widens her eyes in a slight bit surprise before quietly snickering. Snickering under the water was never a good idea, especially when her nose was literally right above it. The moment she does snicker, she ends up inhaling a bit of water through her nose and nearly gags on the water itself. Jasmine instinctively lets go of one of his hands to grab onto her shoulder, more to cough into her elbow (because mannerism was still drilled into her head in a life or death situation) while the other tightens it's grip on his hand. "Wait--" And she begins coughing again, trying her damned best to get the chlorine out. For a moment both her nose and throat burn from the water rushing in so quickly.[break][break]
She spends a good minute trying to get the water out of her system and balance herself, keeping a slightly tighter grip on Bai as she recovers from the shock. "Arceus--" She starts again, now taking a deep breath to confirm whether or not she was gonna go on another coughing spree. When she can take a deep breath without hacking, she lets out a well awaited, sigh of relief before glancing back up at him. "... I should be alright, now. Sorry about that." And a pause. "... But Jared tried to snip off a chuck of your hair? Pff..!" Aaaand then she sputters again. She lets his words run through her head again, and then literally the image of Bai with a chunk of hair snipped off filled her head [break][break]
And damn straight was it hilarious. [break][break]
Hence why Jazzy reaches up to gently poke at a lock of his hair, a smirk clear on her face as her golden gaze maintained on the top of his head. "Really? I think it would have been a good look on you~"

[attr="class","rise"]
[attr="class","dying1"]
[attr="class","mouths1"]Jaz, you stupid little thing. You’re not a fish. You can’t inhale water and expect to be a-okay. No glub glub.
But seriously, Bai himself wasn’t exactly ready for that at all. The sudden sputtering, at least. Sure, he expected her to laugh at him to begin with - because honestly, despite being pissed off over a potential lock of missing hair, he probably would’ve laughed over it at some point, too - but he didn’t expect her to do that while, y’know...still having have her face under the water? Like, come on. She was smart. He knew she was smart. He thought she was better than that. Better than no remember to lift her damn face out of the water before laughing to her heart’s content, and all, but hey- he found himself proven wrong. And that right there was exactly why he freaked out for a split second or two; widening his eyes and screaming a little bit as her sudden change in position threw his own cruise down the waters off a little bit. As she let go and began to cough against her arm, the man himself grew unbalanced for a moment or two; wobbling within his backwards swim before managing to stabilize himself while still taking care to hold onto her for sake of keeping her afloat. Just to be safe, he glanced over his shoulder before averting their path away from the deeper ends for the meantime; slowly and surely bringing them back over to levels where he could at least stand in the worst case scenario.
On the way back, however, he managed to take note of the words - although broken and choppy they were due to the coughing - that she spoke to him- and to that, he narrowed his eyes and quirked his lip at her. Now, he’d been feeling some degree of mercy on the short swim back to the shallow end. Or...shallow by his standards, at least. Maybe even a hint of concern. But that right there. ...That right there.
In response to that, he just stared at her before shoving his free hand through the water to send a hefty splash directly into her face.
”Yeees, Jaz. A chunk of my hair. Go ahead; laugh it off,” he grumbled while rolling his eyes, though not without sending a few more, smaller splashes her way. Earlier, it probably wouldn’t have been a good idea to do so, but he was able to stand by then. So...he was good. And even if he couldn’t exactly say the same for her - what with the height differences, and all - he could still act as her fallback since his own stance was secured. ...So, he continued splashing her idly- though more so in response to her poking, by then. ”Aaaand I’m flattered you think that, buuut...no. Not in my house. No. I like my hair. No.”

[attr="class","jartoxlyr"] Take a relatively short post
[attr="class","jartoxpost"]
And after that fiasco, Jasmine kept her hold onto him while flashing him a coy smirk of her own. Again, the thought of him having a lock of hair chopped off by a kid was enough to snicker at, especially with how he treasured it so. If she hadn't known any better, she'd comment on how he cares for his hair same way a high school girl cares for her own. It was entertaining, yes, although she couldn't say that she was any different. Her hair was pretty important to her, too. Although she prefers to keep it natural, she still doubts that many people would be fond of that over how she looks as of now. But those were her own insecurities, something that she found to hinder her mind now and then. She was rambling. [break][break]
Unfortunately, her laughter was cut short upon being splashed in the face. The woman ungracefully sputters a bit in response, shutting her amber eyes before bringing her hand up to wipe down the excess water that dripped down. She stares upwards to him for a moment before narrowing her eyes, giving him the expression and look of distaste. "Hey..! I was already choking on water earlier, no need to splash me with it!" She says that, but she lowers her hand into the water before flicking it back up, with the intention to splash him with water in return. At this point, it was probably her trying to splash him to counter his splashes to her. Fighting water with water. [break][break]
Although in spite of his actions, no matter how childish, did know that he was concerned. [break][break]
Hell, if it weren't for the fact that Jasmine was coughing like no tomorrow, she would have voiced her appreciation. Well, for swimming on over to the more shallow ends of the pool. Shallow, again, by his standards. Jasmine thought that he would at the very least bring her over so that she could stand, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. She intended to lower herself into the water in order to rest her feet against the ground, but hell did her heart stop for a split second upon finding that the lower half of her face was already being submerged in the water by the time her feet pressed against the floor. Instinctively, she reached her arms forwards to grab onto him again, shortly after recovering from her coughing fit of course. Though she had intended to grab onto her arms, she found herself jolting forwards to grab onto him, now arms wrapping around his waist while she's attempting not to sink. [break][break]
Long story short, she gave him a hug without even realizing it. A pretty tight one, too.
