Beach triiiip~ (private!)

[sparrowfeathered]

[Lenna and Rose hatched a brilliant scheme: GO TO THE BEACH.]

[Specifically, down to the tropical island. After terrible revelations about Gigas, after gods and deaths, and after finding out about Rose's double life... honestly, it sounds pretty nice! But, most importantly, they have Vaporeon slippers. Rose steps onto the beach, wearing a stripped red-and-white two-piece swimsuit.]

[A beachball is under one arm. Her feet are clad in her slippers. She is ready.]

Bring it on! It's beach time!

You're gonna have to try harder than that!

[Aaaand there's splashback! More splashing. Rose is happy to send water flying at Lenna. Though she doesn't exactly have a strategy.]

[Or Water-type abilities to make this worse.]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Harder, huh?

[Lenna smiles, unleashing a Bubble attack!

She doesn't want to actually hurt Rose, after all.]

[sparrowfeathered]

[Rose gets hit by it -- it doesn't hurt, of course -- and then she starts laughing.]

Yeah, I'd say you won that one!

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Water type.

[Lenna smiles, unable to help but burst into giggles herself.]

[sparrowfeathered]

That makes you pretty awesome!

[She smiles, though, looking quite happy about this.]

You'd be awesome either way, though.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Thank you, Rose. I think you're awesome too.

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hmm. I just can't let it go to my head.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Do you want to go lie in the sun for a while now? I brought Cherie along - she can help apply the suntan lotion and maybe even give us some massages!

[sparrowfeathered]

Oh yeah! And I know Cherie can do a good job. Let's do that.

[She grins, then she starts walking towards the beach. Back out of the water. For now!]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

All right! Race you to the towels!

[And Lenna takes off swimming toward the shore, at least until the water gets shallow enough to run.]

[sparrowfeathered]

You're on!

[Lenna wins handily, at first; Rose isn't that fast of a swimmer. But once she can run... well, she's fast.]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[It probably results in a tie, all things considered. Not that Lenna minds - she's just having fun anyway.]

Okay! Ready to soak up some sun?

[Smiling and laughing, she summons Cherie the Mienfoo to give them both the princess treatment. She folds her arms and bows.]

[sparrowfeathered]

[Rose flops back on her towel and sighs, kicking her feet out. Still with the sandals on, though. Those sandals are awesome.]

Sure am! We don't get that much in Union. Nothing like here or Caldera.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Lenna lays down in turn, rolling onto her stomach. She opts to slip her sandals off, though. A foot massage sounds heavenly right about now.]

Yes... it's nice to have a little change of scenery now and again.

[And Cherie gets right down to work, rubbing the suntan lotion into Lenna's back. She'll get Rose next.]

[sparrowfeathered]

[Rose rolls over, too, and sighs. She nods, though it's into the sand more than at Lenna.]

It reminds me of Caldera, when I was growing up. It was always really sunny there.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Lenna hums happily as Cherie works the lotion into her back, rolling her head to the side to look at Rose with a smile.]

What was it like there when you were young?

[sparrowfeathered]

It was nice! I grew up with some soldiers. They taught me a lot, and I'd travel with them. Things changed after awhile, though...

They left the army, and became the Spearowfeathers. And, ah, the Scattered Bones.

[The assassins. The other side of things.]

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Ah... right.

[That subject is still a little awkward.]

Cherie, can you get Rose next?

[Topic change!]

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hmm. I got to see a lot of the countryside growing up.

[But: ooooo, good!]

Thanks, Cherie! You're the best.

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

[Cherie's massage works primarily on pressure points, so that's the sort of experience Rose is getting. She doesn't let up when she finds a tight spot, but presumably she's able to bear with it.]

Mmmmm... she really is. Cherie's massages always make me want to take a nap.

[sparrowfeathered]

Oh, I bet. This is pretty good. It's getting out some knots I didn't know exist.

[Rose sighs, even if there's a slight hitch in her voice at a couple of spots. She gets some knotted up muscles, sometimes, doing what she does.]

She's been with you for awhile, right?

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

Mmm... about six or seven months.

[Lenna stretches out now that Cherie is done with her, yawning and wiggling her toes.]

She's very diligent about practicing, though, so she evolved quickly.

[sparrowfeathered]

Mm-hm! I can tell she's a hard worker.

[Rose sighs, then leans her head on the bunched up towel acting as a pillow. She yawns; it's a little tired, still.]

I wonder if I can train a few... this could make some money!

[my_father_is_a_tycoon]

I'm sure a Mienshao massage parlor would be very popular! What do you think, Cherie?

[She's prim and proper, so the reaction isn't very pronounced, but she does nod after a moment's consideration.]

[sparrowfeathered]

I think I've got a thing to set up when we get back!

I've thought about getting a storefront for the Spearowfeathers, too. It can double as a warehouse.
