Who: Axel, Athena the Vaporeon, and you~
Where: The forest at the hot springs
When: Backdated to Sunday before Demyx and Lea have their happy fun times
Style: I'll match ♥
Status: Open

[Well, he doesn't want to leave the house, but it's better than having to deal with Demyx and his Other's bonding time today. So Axel takes this as an opportunity to wander about find more interesting things in this underwater bubble, starting with the forest that Demyx recommended he go to.

He isn't alone in this trip, however, because, just as Demyx also offered, a bouncy blue Vaporeon is following at his side, her tail swishing back and forth. Occasionally he looks down to check and make sure that she won't, you know, bite or anything, and once they reach the springs he nods at her to which she walks over to leap into the hot water.]

Hm. Cute.

[With a sigh Axel plops down on the edge of one of the springs and feels the heat coming off of the rocks rejuvenate his body and rekindle his inner fire a bit. The water may be hot, but it's still water...so he's not very comfortable going in it. Or taking off his clothes in public. If anyone passes by at all they'll also see his thought bubble floating around his head, displaying convoluted moving pictures of sunsets and a large heart shaped moon rising over the horizon. Occasionally he'll think of Lea's face, too, and he'll see him cuddling up to Demyx or something...and that just makes the images turn to red and fade away.]

Vapo! Vapo!

Mm? No, I'm not coming in. [...But Vaporeon swishes her tail and splashes him anyway. In the water. Now. B|] Hey!

[He notes the change of color in her bubble and blinks, his own bubble once again filling with question marks.]

Uh...so--

Vapo? Vapo, Vapo!

[Athena splashes a little more water Axel's way to which he grumbles and stands up, his hair now wet on one side.]

*Selphie might have been about to say something, but she's distracted by the animal splashing Axel. Sorry, but she can't help but giggle, moving forward to approach his pet*

Hey.. who's this cutie?

[He squeezes out some of the excess water when she approaches and Athena stares at her curiously as she continues wading along in the hot spring.]

She's Demyx's pet. Name's Athena.

Demyx's pet? *Selphie couldn't help but laugh at that, a vision of mermaid Demyx in her bubble* That totally makes sense!

*She approaches the edge of the hot springs and kicks off her boots, before sitting at the side, her legs dangling into the water*

Hi Athena! Wow, this is nice!

[Axel crosses his arms as he looks down to watch the two of them bond. Athena swims up to Selphie and makes more of her cute little sounds (I know, isn't water the best thing ever.) before she swims back to make a lap around the spring.

He sighs.]

So you're one of Demyx's friends too?

*Selphie reaches forward, more than happy to humour the pokemon, and she smiles to watch her to some swimming. It's very tempting to jump in, all the same, and Selphie's bubble shows her jumping in*

Uh huh. He does have a lot of friends!

It's crazy.

[He always knew that Demyx was the social type, but not that social. He watches Athena swim about a little more before he sits down next to her on the rocks and stares down at the steaming water.]

Were you gonna go in?

[Her bubble seems to show that she wants to.]

*Selphie smiles brightly and turns to Axel as he sits next to her, her eyes seemingly quite excited*

It does look really good in there, doesn't it?

[Excited? Well, that's interesting. He shrugs and leans back on his hands.]

Then go in. No one's stopping you, right?

*She glances down at her dress, and then at the water*

But my clothes will get all wet!

[Axel waves his hand in the air.]

Ah, what's a little water gonna do to a couple pairs of clothes, huh?

*Selphie giggles and tilts her head towards him. It felt nice being with Axel again, even if he didn't remember him*

Alright then!

*She stands to her feet before swinging her arms and just dropping herself into the water with a splash*

[Buh--He hadn't thought that she'd take him seriously.

Axel just stands off to the side, however, to avoid being splashed too much with water, and when Athena sees Selphie jump in she swims right up and circles around her, excited.]

Vapo!

Geez. You actually did it.

*Selphie dunks beneath the water and splashes up to the surface, happily paddling with Athena*

Sure I did! It's just water, right? Now it's your turn!

*She giggles and takes a mouthful of water before squirting it in a little fountain*

[Athena seems thoroughly amused by this girl and paddles alongside her. Axel, on the other hand, stays right where he is.]

Nah, water's not my thing.

[Even if it's hot, it's still water, and he doesn't like it.]
