Mercy had the sudden urge to go swimming, as she walked down toward the pool area, her bag, which held her towel, in hand. She was dressed in a black simple bikini, and a gray heavy t-shirt, and black shorts over it. She walked over to the gate entrance to the pol and looked around as she entered it. Nobody in sight, the place was completely empty, probably would have been if it were 7:45 at night, which it was. It was getting pretty dark, one of the reasons why she wanted to come swimming now, nobody would be around and she'd have it to her self, well at least she hoped.
She set her bag down on a chair and took of her shirt and shorts, leaving her in the black bikini. She looked around a bit and dived into the pool. Coming back up to the surface her hair flowing loose in the water, she put her head back and started tyeing it in to a low pony tail. She then began doing laps across the pool from under water, coming up to breath when ever needed.

It was humid. Not incredible hot, but very humid. That made it feel like it was 90 on a 70 night. Or so it seemed to Seoras, as he walked slowly in the direction of the pool. Water...swimming would be a good idea right about now. He pulled on the handle of the temperamental gate to no avail; it only rattled in place. Muttering under his breath, he took a few steps back, ran, and scrambled up and over the wall, dropping to a crouch on impact with the ground on the other side.
"It's a good thing they got rid of those overgrown hedges on this side..."
Seoras dropped the towel that had been draped over his shoulder on a chair as he passed it, kicked off his shoes (no socks) and pulled off his shirt, tossing it on top of his towel. He walked straight to the edge of the pool and effectively fell in. Seoras sank to the bottom, savoring the cool relief afforded by his new, liquid surroundings. He let himself float to the top, slowly regaining his sense of up and down and letting his feet point to the bottom. He wiped his wet face with a hand, and when he could see he jumped. A dark head had just broken the surface of the water not far from where he was, belonging to a beautiful girl he hadn't even noticed on his way in. One point for observance...

As Mercy came up for air, her wiped her eyes and jumped at the sight of a guy just few feet away in the pool staring back. "Oh my God!" she yelled and looked around a bit, she looked back at him with a some what nervous look. "You scared the shit out of me, I didn't know anyone was in here..." she was starting to think she should head out, she didn't really like swimming around other people, other reason for coming at night, nobody around. She had pretty low self esteem some times. "Um....I could leave if you want the pool, I was almost done..." she says glancing around every so often.

"Oh my God! You scared the shit out of me, I didn't know anyone was in here..."
Ditto, he thought. Seoras hadn't seen anything but the cool water on the way in; served him right that he'd be half scared out of his skin for it. Not the luckiest person he was...
"Um....I could leave if you want the pool, I was almost done..."
Seoras noted she seemed to be glancing around a lot, like a frightened animal. Wonder if something's wrong... "What? Oh, no, don't leave on my account. There is plently of water for the both of us. I just wanted to cool off a bit, that's all." He started moving towards her, trying to get a better look at her in the failing light. "It's really humid tonight. I'm Seoras, by the way. Seoras Reinard." Now that he was closer to her he put out his hand. His first thoughts had been quite accurate: she was cute. More than one voice sounded in his head, reminding him what happened the last time he had gotten involved with girls. He tried to ignore them. "And you are?"

Mercy heard him tell her it was alright, and that she didn't have to leave. She noticed him coming over and watched him as he introduced him self and stuck a hand out toward her. With a weak smile she extended her hand and took his, "I'm Mercy Hawkins...the new girl.." she says using a phrase she heard a girl back in school call her as she was walking toward her class. She brought her hand back to her side and looked around a bit before looking back toward him. "He's pretty cute..." she thought to her self as she slightly looked him over, then looking back toward something else. "So yea I'm guessing you go to Fairfield..." she says not really wanting to fall into uncomfortable silence, especially when their both just standing there in the middle of a pool.

"Very nice to meet you, Lady Hawkins," he said as he half bowed with a theatrical flair. Not an easy task in the water, but accomplished none-the-less. "And yes, I do go to Fairfield..." Conversations had never really been his strong point when he was meeting new people, but by the looks of it they weren't hers either. Time to fill in the dead airways...
"If you'll permit me, what brings you here at this time of night?"

Mercy gave a small smile when he called her Lady Hawkins and bowed. She shifted her weight in the water and nodded her head slightly when he said he went to Fairfield. She looked around and then back at him when he asked her what brought her out here at this time. "Oh, I just wanted to swim a few laps, I don't really like swimming when theres to many people..." she says with a weak smile and a shrug. She lowered her self down so that the water went to right above her shoulders. "What about you, like you said it's late, whats your excuse?" she asked him with a small smile.

"Oh, so you're the shy, modest girl. We'll just have to work on that..." he said smiling. "Me?" He dropped to about eye level with her, partly because she was easy on the eyes and he was talking to her, and partly because he felt cooler the more of him that was submerged. "Well, I don't always sleep at night and my room was a furnace, so I figured I'd step out for a bit. It occured to me that going swimming might be a good remedy for the heat, so I came here, something I am very glad I did for more than one reason..." He winked at her.
"Shameless flirt," the voices chided him. "Have you completely forgotten what happened last time? Pain, fist, more pain, Remoc's bad driving, visinting jail, saving drunk girls from the cops and preventing another trip to the police station..."

She blushed at his first comment and gave small smirk. He told her why he was out and she nodded understandingly, it was pretty hot out tonight. She caught the last thing he said about him being glad he came, for more then one reason, and saw the wink he shot her. At this she blushed a slightly deeper shade then before. 'Is he flirting...with me?' she wondered to her self as she tried to keep the small smile on that was forming on her lips, from showing. "Oh yea?" she asked as she changed the smile forming into a taunting smirk.

"Haha! Two points! Take that mysogynist headvoice!" Flirting: successful, at least by his standards. She was blushing a bit, trying to keep from smiling, and hadn't tried to drown him. All good signs.
Seoras brought his hand up to shield his face, as though he were looking into a bright light. "Yes, and stop giving me more reasons to like it here."
Dropping his hands, he waved them back and forth beneath the water, feeling the seemingly stationary water swirl and turn between his fingers. "So, Mercy, what exactly do you like to do? Besides hiding your lovely smile and trying to be modest in a very flattering swimsuit, of course."

She gave a small laugh at what he said and brought her hands up to tighten her pony tail. She attempted to untangle a few parts of her hair under water as she heard him ask her what she liked to do, and then top it off by commenting on her smile and swimsuit. She finished fixing her hair and placed her hands on her hips. "Well, I like to sing, sketch, design cloths...and swim" she say adding the swimming part as she dunked under water and swam over to the deeper side of the pool, coming back up to the surface and leaning against the wall of the pool.

"Well, I can't say I design clothes, but everything else goes for me too, plus my supposed skill writing poetry." He watched as she dove and resurfaced in the deeper water, resting against the wall. "Running away? Two can play that game..."
Seoras dove under the water and went straight to the bottom, his chest nearly touching it. He snaked along the base of the pool toward her with music reminiscent of Jaws playing in his head.
"Daaaadum........Daaadum.......Daadum...Daadum...Dadum. Dadum. Dadumdadumdadumdadum-ba-neh-neh!!!!"
Now almost beneath her slowly scissoring legs, his hand shot out and stroked along the base of her foot with all the strength of a feather, with the intent of having approximately the same effect.

Mercy jumped and gave a short scream as he went for her foot. 'Oh no he did not!' she thought referring to him tickling her foot. "She pulled away from the wall, and him, watching his body move under water and kept her distance at first waiting for him to resurface. "No tickling! thats not fair!" she yells hoping he may have at least heard her muffled voice for down under. She was kinda warming up to him but not completely there yet.

Seoras's head broke the surface, trying to laugh and not swallow water at the same time. "Oh, why not? All's fair in fighting and flirting."
"Ya might want to back off a bit...don't make her think you're too freaky..." a voice mumbled in his head. He figured he might want to listen for once...maybe.

Mercy cocked an eyebrow at what he said, and smirked. She same a bit closer to the deep end again and leaned back, letting her legs come up of the floor and move up and down, to keep her body from sinking. She kept her gaze on him "Oh yea, so do you flirt with all girls like this when you first meet them, or is it just me getting special treatment?" she asked in a joking matter.
