[ Twilight fades into the darkness of evening, and a whole gaggle of trolls are up on the island to camp out for one very big reason.

One big, angry, honking reason.

But general terror of the Grand Highblood aside, they're still fairly functional in-so-much as trolls ever are. And that's where the shenanigans come in. ]

Yes. I'm not very good in the deep water, but I'm okay in the shallows.

[He lays back, letting himself float in the warm water.]

Here, take hold of my waist. I'll pull you along.

Aight! Wait.

[Gamzee sits up, peeling out of his soaked shirt and tossing it in the general direction of the shore-line. Then, dripping water everywhere, he gets to his feet, starting to fiddle with his sweatpants.]

[Equius keeps floating while Gamzee wrestles with his shirt, but he sits up when he starts fooling with his pants.]

What are you doing?

[By now, Gamzee has his pants half way down his thighs, awkwardly balancing on one foot as he looks at him.]

We were gonna get our fuckin' swim on, yeah?

Yeeeees... but why are you taking your clothes off?

[Not that he's complaining about the view, just that he's a little unsure of where this is going.]

[Gamzee hops on his foot a few times, as he works out of his pants --it is a good thing he was wearing boxers for once-- chucking them towards the side too.]

You shouldn't all be fuckin' swimmin' with your motherfuckin' duds on. Motherfuckers get really heavy all soaked up, you get?

I guess.

[It doesn't bother Equius, but he can see how the weight of clothing would drag down on other trolls. He stands up too and strips off his shirt, tossing it back to the shore. Then he nervously unbuckles his belt, looking to the side as he pushes down his shorts.]

Relax. I ain't gonna laugh or nothing.

[Gamzee stretches slightly, staring out over the sea excited. He hasn't gone swimming in forever. He can barely wait.]

[Fair enough!]

[Equius skims out of his shorts and tosses them up on the shore before leaning back and floating again.]

Grab hold.

[Gamzee falls back into the water with a happy splash, before making his way over to Equius, wrapping his arms around him with a little squeeze.]

[Equius adjusts himself in the water, making sure Gamzee isn't the way, and then STRONG swims, using just his arms in a exaggerated backstroke.]

[Gamzee laughs, letting Equius drag him around for a little while, before he pushes away from him, pushing himself off to where the water gets deeper. It really is so good again to have all that water up high to his chin, lapping at his shoulders, and he can just let himself float here forever.]

[Equius stays in the shallower water, but he's perfectly content to just bob along beside Gamzee, looking up at the night sky above them.]

You were right... beaches are nice.

Yeah.

[He sighs, utterly content, pushing himself further and further back until he can't reach the sand anymore with his toes, diving then. He doesn't swim with the innate grace of a seadweller, but his rough style jets him through the water easy enough, his motions practised and certain.

He surfaces again a bit further out, laughing as he spits out salty seawater like a fountain. For a moment all the stress of the current situation is forgotten and he just bobs on the water utterly content.]

[Equius stands up, the water pooling around his waist, and watches Gamzee swim. He's not brave enough to go out in water that deep, but he'll certainly watch his matesprit enjoy himself in it!]

[Gamzee is only too happy to splash around in the water, float, bob and dive. He missed swimming. Hasn't gone swimming in ages. He can't go swimming alone, after all. Sea's a dangerous place. His ol' goat had never let him go swimming alone.

Eventually he dives under again, deep to the bottom. There he stays for a while, enjoying the sensation of weightlessness, before he swims back to Equius along the bottom of the sea, mischievously tugging at his ankle once he is close enough.]

[Normally it wouldn't be a good idea to tug on Equius' ankle when he's in the water, but he was watching Gamzee closely enough that he knows it's him. He looks down through the clear water and smiles at him.]

Seems the local goatfish population is increasing these days.

[Gamzee lets out a stream of bubbles as he snorts under water, before he surfaces enough to bring his face above the surface. He bleats once, a eerily good impression of a goat, before he presents his flat palm to Equius, a blue spiralling sea-shell laying on his outstretched hand.]

[Equius snorts back at him, sounding just like a horse, before his eyes widen at the sight of that shell.]

Beautiful.

For you.

[He holds his hand up a little higher, closer to Equius.]

Really?

Yeah.

[He pushes up to stand, shaking some water off of his hair.]

Hold out your fuckin' prong for me.

[Equius holds out one hand, keeping it as flat and still as he can. He really doesn't want to break that shell!]

[Gamzee's face is soft as he carefully placed the shell on Equius' outstretched hand. His fingers are equally careful as he help Equius curl his fingers around the fragile little item. And then, with that done, he darts in for a quick little kiss.]

[Well, sir, if that is your custom!]

[Equius thinks his heart will melt completely, with how gentle and tender Gamzee is with his hand, helping him where he knows he would only fail if he tried himself, and he's more than happy to kiss him back. In fact, he wouldn't be opposed to this turning into a long, sweet kiss. Not opposed at all.]
