Boo.

[GUESS WHO'S BEHIND YOU ASSHOLE, WET HAIR DRAPED ACROSS HER FACE AND ALL]

[mallom]

...?

[It's not so much the "boo" than the fact that SHE'S RIGHT THERE when he turns around, all up in his business, that shocks him.] What the-?! [He flails just a little, making a splash with one arm, the other trying to hold onto the pool edge so he doesn't slip and fall--

--But he loses his balance and falls under the water rather ungracefully. Way to go.]

[gorgone]

[Okay laaaaauuuughiiing here, she is so mean!? But she reaches underneath the water to pull him up, while using her other hand to brush through her hair (although one side of it continues to drape over her right eye.]

Oh, that was so worth it.

[mallom]

[The sound of water is rushing past his ears as he falls, and consequently finds his footing on the pool floor. He grits his teeth under water, bubbles rising from escaped breath--

(And he remembers when being under the vast ocean was his home, and the memories of thrashing beneath it, pulled from his slumber, tossed onto the shore, half-dying and betrayed.)

His head breaks the surface of the water and he gasps for air, even though it's unnecessary. Human habit.]

-fuck! [Comes the explicative, though it sounds weak. Malus shoots her a glare, frowning, and considers yelling at her, his irritation spiking sharp.

...But instead, he merely turns around, pulling himself out of the water and pool, wordlessly. He drips wet onto the pool's edge, moving damp hair out of his eyes.]

[gorgone]

Haaaa...

[Lulu lets out a deep sigh after recovering from her laughter and she lounges in the water lazily as she watches Malus.]

It was a ripe opportunity and I'm glad I took it.

[why does she look so proud, really now]

[mallom]

[w o w excuse you, Malus does not find this hilarious at all. So much that he can't be bothered to make a quip in return, he just pulls himself out of the pool, water dripping from him. All he can manage is an annoyed:]

Good for you.

[mcgrumpy pants, stop triggering him ok]
