The Flow of Love

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"I think you look pretty close to naked, but you'd be legal at the pools," Unna smiled. "Plus, I really like it!" Unna went in her own changing room to try on her matching swimsuit, then came out to show Ni. Unna was much taller, so the same type of suit that provided too much coverage for Ni barely provided a strip of coverage for Unna. "I...I feel like this only barely covers the legal minimum on me. I don't know if I should get it. It might be too revealing." Unna definitely appeared self conscious.

[Gar]

"Ha! Too revealing? There's no such thing!" Ni laughed, carrying herself with a great air of confidence that dramatically contrasted Unna's stance. "I'll get both of them for you, shy one. They truly suit you, pun intended." She strutted right up to the cash register, still wearing the red bathing suit while carrying her belongings under one arm, and flashed some credits at the staff.

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"Thank you," Unna said to Ni, before going to pick out two sarong wraps. She got a black one for herself and a white one for Ni and paid for them. "We should go change back into our dresses!" Unna said before returning to her fitting room and putting her clothes back on. "I got us some sarongs to cover ourselves with. While we aren't swimming!" Unna handed one to Ni, smiling as if the large, sheer pieces of fabric would please Ni. Unna walked up to Ni and put a hand over her mouth and let out a shy giggle, before whispering "we can see through them!" She felt like the purchase would please Ni.

Ni smiled and nodded approvingly, accepting the sarong from Unna and tying it loosely around her hips. "I think I'll keep my bathing suit on, I enjoy feeling the breeze on my skin..." she drew closer to Unna and caught her hips in her hands, pulling her forward so that their waists were pressed together, "among other things." Ni gave her signature smirk before dipping her head into the nape of Unna's neck and nibbling the flesh under her jaw playfully.

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

Unna giggled and jumped. It wasn't that she was jumping to get away from Ni. She was just jumping because the new sensations still made her feel ticklish. She moved back to Ni and gave her an affectionate hug, before taking her by the hand and leading her to the pools. "I suppose it isn't illegal to walk the streets of Baku in a swimsuit, but I'm not sure of that. I hope it isn't!"

[Gar]

"Well if it is then I'll just have to personally enlighten this city," retorted Ni jokingly, giving Unna's hand a squeeze. Judging by the turning heads as the two walked down the street, it seemed school was already in session.

When they reached the pool Ni squeaked with excitement and released Unna's hand, throwing her belongings--including the sarong--into the closest vacant chair and taking a running jump into the deep end. She resurfaced with a beaming, wet smile, waving Unna to join her.

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"I'll be right there! I have to go change back into my swimsuit!" Unna left to go to the changing rooms, returning a few moments later with her sarong wrapped around her over her red bikini. She rented a locker and moved their things into it and locked it shut, with exception for the sarongs. Unna walked up to the edge of the pool and dipped a toe in and shivered before walking over to the steps to the pool and slowly ascending one by one, jerking each time another section of her body descended into the cool water. She looked around nervously at all the people, afraid that they would stare. She finally made her way into the pool and shivered her way to Ni.

[Gar]

Ni was already swimming toward her, giggling at the Unna's careful descend into the pool. "Sometimes you just need to jump in, shy one," she advised, "Life is more exciting and enjoyable if you do not hesitate so much." It seemed like there might have been a double meaning in that statement.

Ni swam the distance and submerged Unna into the water with a playful tackle. For a brief moment they were both under water, Ni's body tangled in Unna's. Ni teasingly blew bubbles on Unna's neck before untangling and swimming a few feet away. The bubbly sound of underwater laughter could be heard as she withdrew.

[Unna Hi Chaanu]

"Hey!" Unna giggled as she popped out of the water. She pulled out an old trick that she used to blast Orchid, but used it in a more gentle way. She backed away from Ni, laughing, and raised her hands into the air. Suddenly, she sent 5 gallons of water up into the air and splashing down onto Ni's head.

[Gar]

Ni sputtered out surprised laughter, staring at Unna with a shocked, impressed expression for a brief moment. Then she opened her palms and concentrated. A ball of water rose from behind Unna and lingered above the Iktachi. As Ni dove under water once more, breaking concentration, the ball came splashing down. Ni used this distraction to swim the distance between them and grab Unna's waist in both hands, lifting her up as she resurfaced, smiling up at Unna triumphantly.
