Relaxing for a change, *open*

After the long trip here, he was about ready to wander around and just flop in the first empty room he came to but instead found the pool area. Much to her pleasure, there place was empty and the hot tub was looking inviting so she teleported her swimming trunks from her luggage and carelessly tossed her usual outfit onto one of the benches along the wall, pulling on the trunks as she walked over and slipped in.

As she eased herself into the water, she could feel the heat begining the relax her much used muscles and let out a sigh of releaf as the water slowly rose up to her neck as she sat down. Once she was settled into the formed side of the tub, she leaned her head back and closed her eyes, letting the warmth seep into her and not caring who saw her. If I guy came, she'd be a guy and was dressed as one, if a girl dropped by, all the much easier to flirt with due to the lack of a top.

Love wandered absently into the pool room, dressed in a pair of baggy black swim shorts that hung off his hips, with a towel over one shoulder. He was thinking about anything and nothing and didn't notice anyone else in the room for a moment.
When he did, he hesitated, considering turning around and leaving, but a part of him reasoned that he had just as much right to be there as the other person.
He walked over to the edge of the hot tub and stepped shyly into the water and down the steps.
Slipping into the water, he relaxed slightly, but kept on the otherside of the tub from the stranger so as not to disturb them.

Shay couldn't help himself, he'd been too lazy to move or open his eyes to look at and watch the stranger who'd joined him in the hot tub so, he'd used his light scrying ability to watch and knew it was a good thing he had, they guy was shy... And had a nice body... A sly grin crossed his lips as he decided to mention as much to his guest. "Why not come sit closer to me handsome? I won't bite... Unless asked to anyway."

Sitting up and opening his eyes, he looked over at Love and smiled brightly "C'mon, I'm guessing you're as new here as I am and we could both use a friend to start off the school year. Name's Shay by the way." With a bit of a wink, he made room next to him in to tub for his new friend to move over and sit closer if he liked. Shay was definately not going to mind. And if Mashinaka has a problem with my flirting, tough.

Love had just tilted his head back and closed his eyes when the stranger spoke to him. His eyes popped open and his head snapped up to stare at "Shay".
"uh.... um...." he stammered. There really was no answer to that.
Love didn't really want to move next to Shay, he'd only just met him and he hadn't even said anything to him, but he worried that it might seem rude.
"uh.... hi," he said hesitantly. "my name is Love."
This person was so confident and for some reason Love found himself thinking how cute the guy was. He mentally scolded himself and began fiddling with his fingernails.

Shay nodded to Love and continued to smile Hmm, he's shy... But I thought I felt a touch of attraction for a moment there... I'll have to see how open his is... "It's nice to meet you Love. I'd rtry to lure you back to my room with promises of fun but I'm not fully sure where it is yet... Other than it's a ways from here and I'd probably end up scaring you before getting you there so I'll settle to just get to know you better here."

He pushed himself from the edge of the hot tub to only having his head half out of the water and 'swam' over to Love's side of the tub and took up a seat beaside him but with enough room for probably another person to sqeeze in, a bit of a confort zone for his new toy. Now that he was closer, he began to send light waves of calm towards Love, hoping it would be enough to keep him from just up and leaving. And give him enough lee way to make Love blush and not leave once he began to flirt in ernest.

"Thanks, it's...uh... nice to meet you to," Love said hesitantly. He was beginning to panic. How are you supposed to react when someone offers to take you up to their room? he wondered.
To his alarm, Shay moved round to his side of the pool and sat next to him. He didn't move, he didn't want to appear rude, but he really wanted to just slide round to the otherside of the pool again.
Slowly, he calmed down and relaxed. It wasn't so bad sat her in the hot tub with Shay. Maybe Shay was only being friendly, Love hadn't really had much experience with friendly types. He smiled and slid down a little into the tub so that he was up to his neck in hot bubbly water.

"Well, well, well. What a conclave this is," came a voice in both minds. Mark shook his head. He pulled the towel from his shoulders, and slipped into the water across from the two. "So. Why do I sense a bit of confusion from one of you?" he said with a pointed glance at both of them.

His grey eyes glinted slightly. "I get the feeling someone isn't very comfortable with this situation. Or, at least, they weren't very comfortable with it."

Shay'd just started to make progress in befriending Love when someone new joined them. He'd been too caught up in making sure Love didn't run away that he hand't really paid attention to the newcomer's entering of the pool area but since he was cute as well... It just turned into a chance to do more flirting. "Well, Mr. Bishie, I was starting to talk to Love to befriend him. A little empathy can go a long way when used to keep from making mistakes when talking to people that are timid that you want to befriend."

He knew Love wanted some more space and it would probably put him at further, personally gained, ease to see him being 'friendly' to everyone. There would be less anxiety for him from knowing he wasn't being singled out for special attention. He would end up being given that soon enough if the opportunity arose but right now, he had a bold badger to bat at. He slipped through the water and sat closer to Mark than to Love and smiled warmly at him "Well, it's nice to meet you, m'name's Shayichi but everyone just calls me Shay. Planning on coming here often?" It wasn't the standard pickup line of 'come here often', that wouldn't have worked as the school was new and noone had been here overly long. It would just have to do for now.

Mark's eyebrow went up. What the hell... he thought. He's flirting? Ooooookay. "I see. I am Marcus Valerious. Everyone calls me Mark, or, in jest, Marcus Aurelious. And yes, I plan on frequenting this area quite often." His eyes took on a strange light to them, as he leaned back, and unconsciously started humming.

Love had been getting quite relaxed sat here with Shay, but now his nervousness and shyness was getting the better of him again. He slid down until he was underwater up to just under his nose and stayed there sat next to Shay with Mark on the otherside of the tub.
Eventually, he sat up a little until his mouth was out of the water.
"It's nice to meet you Mark," he said awkwardly. "Uh.... I'm Love... but Shay just told you that," he frowned, feeling embarassed and kind of wishing the ground would just open up.
