Need to talk privately with Cilan? Send him a message via the crystal or carrier pigeon? Want to meet with him without posting a log for it? Here's the place to do it!
[The water bubbles furiously, almost like the lake itself is growling as it brings its weight to bear on the straining line. Any second now, the rod is going to snap like a twig. It's going to snap -
- backward, completely clear of both Lapras and the water, with a light drizzle of warm water and nothing on the end?]
Pbbbbthhh!
[Have either of you two ever heard a whale trying to spit something unpleasant out of its mouth? You have now. Then again, with certain physical laws such as the conservation of momentum in mind, right now may not be a great time to sit and listen...]
[Aaaand there they go, falling over backwards and potentially off Lapras and into the water unless Red has a good hold with his legs on Lapras.
Either way, regardless of whether we end up in the water or bending over backwards on Lapras, Cilan's immediate priority is the fishing rodthankfully looking around and checking first to see if Red is okay.]
[ Red's so cool that they stayed on and stay dried. Kanto's finest, ladies and gentlemen.
...no, they're not that fortunate. With Cilan shoving into him and nothing but air behind Red, that was all it took for the pair of them to fall pitifully into the waters like trash bags. Lapras turns as she hears them leave her, her own whale-like voice calling out a short cry before her head lowers into the water to look -- but never fear, the boys are here (and still alive)!!
Though it takes Red a second later to emerge right against Lapras, a hand slapping onto her body as he gets his breath again. He turns his head when he hears Cilan come up, giving him a nod- ]
I'm fine! [ -and a breathy response. But then his eyes are darting across the waters, trying to find the best place to aim the scowl now on his face and the clearer words out his mouth: ]
Was that you, Sosyne!? You're not funny!
[ Whoever it was, Lapras is shoving her head back underwater just in case it might be looking for a fight. IS IT LOOKING FOR A FIGHT BECAUSE SHE'S READY FOR A FIGHT. ]
[Well, look on the bright side: now you get to see what Cilan's hair looks like when it's wet. You know those bangs of his that are all leafy-looking? Yeah, well, they're not upright anymore and are currently clinging to his forehead.
However, Cilan isn't going to worry about that aside from moving some hair out of his eyes as he puts his other hand on Lapras when he catches his breath again.]
If that was Sosyne, then that was just childish, and...
[There's a pause as Cilan narrows his eyes at the water for something, before he then, without explanation first, takes a breath and suddenly dives back under the water again. Give or take a moment, and maybe one or two resurfaces for air before going back under, before Cilan comes back for good, holding up some fishing line and his custom lure.]
And rude, for that matter. [Huff, moving hair out of eyes again as he mumbles something that suspiciously sounded like "Clearly doesn't anything about taste when it comes to a perfectly good fishing lure..."]
[He won't have caught sight of Sosyne down there on his vitally important mission, because as it happens, she rockets to the surface at almost the exact same time. She breaches the water entirely, her tail fin lashing out as if to shake off the bad taste, before plunging violently back down on Lapras' other side and finally splashing around to face them. Mind your noses.]
What do you call waving some stupid toy around like that, when all of us were just minding our own damn business?! That was my face, dumbass! ...And you [she snaps, with a glare at Red], you should know better!
[ Oh, don't you look dashing when you're wet, Mr. Connoisseur.
But this isn't that type of thread and certainly doesn't have the time to be with Sosyne's proper entrance, Lapras's head rising with as much of a snap as the arehtei comes up. Huff huff, water snail is not impressed! (but also knows she shouldn't just spit an icicle Sosyne's way from word of the other sea creatures) .
Red's fishing rod is being forgotten. Rest in piece, rod. Maybe we'll find you again because you're seriously perfect in every way. ]
What are you talking about!? We just wanted to see the fish out here! [ You wanna argue, Red can argue!! ] We were gonna put them right back in!
[ How dare you suggest Red is in the wrong here!! ]
Well, it appear that my previous thought regarding your sharp taste for vulgarity certainly stands accurate...
[CILAN... no but seriously what are you doing swearing in front of characters from a children's show sosyne]
And Red's right, we were planning to put them back in rather than keeping them. [I mean unless they wanted to be kept, but that would require Stunfisk or one of the other water-types being fluid in other-world fish speak to figure that sort of thing out.] I'm also not particularly fond of hurting them using the hooks that some fishermen here use, hence why I use something like this instead.
[He holds it up for reference here: sure enough, if you get a good look, the hook dangling below the lure is made with a material that's strong but not sharp enough to cause physical injury to them if a fish puts their mouth around it.]
[Sosyne bristles. Literally, the water is frothing around her into little needle shapes, appearing and disappearing.] And what if you hurt them anyway? What the hell did you think you were going to do then?
[ Red continues glaring a while longer despite the show around Sosyne, but it does make him question whether he should keep his own heat or pull back in this scenario, and which one was going to be for the best.
Probably the latter, even if the scowl on him isn't completely wiped away. ]
I would've healed them. I've been learning it, and I've been learning how to calm creatures down too. [ Look at how great he is at it right now. ] Anyway, we've done it hundreds of times before! Cilan's an expert [ sorry Cilan, Sosyne might not know what your fancy title means ] and I've done this to bring up water types back home too! We wouldn't hurt them and leave them!
[ Behind them, Lapras dips her body into the water without the density opposing her, enough to offer them an easier time climbing back onto her shell with a hum of a voice. It makes Red look back, and he takes the opporunity to wrap a hand onto one of her spikes. ]
[Thank you Lapras, we appreciate being let back on and out of the water.]
Indeed. We're not so careless that we wouldn't take responsibility if that were to happen. For someone like myself, that would bring the taste of shame upon our standing as a Fishing Connoisseur--no, even just as a person if we did that.
