[ So maybe she's not entirely sure why she's in here in the first place... but what does it matter! It's a festival, they asked for volunteers, it makes sense, then, that this would all go to some good cause or something like that, and Orihime figures she may as well do her part. ]

Wow, what kind of throw was that, I know centuries-old spirits with better aim than yours~! Maybe if you ask nicely, they'll let you come closer! Gods are supposed to be merciful, ne~? ♥

[ ...maybe she's a little too into it. ]

lmfao such an interesting first impression Orihime.

[pyritic]

[ He waves it off with one hand. ] Maybe they're trying to keep you out of the water. But you're definitely getting dunked now!

[ Another wind-up, fast, and... oh goddammit did he miss again? With how often he's been driving by this booth, he should have it down pat by now!

...He's just going to blame it on her attitude getting him riled up. ]

screams oh no she'll make it up to him with a churro she promises! /)u(\

[unifying]

[ Orihime watches the ball slam into the nearby wall, just a few inches shy of the target. The corner of her lips twitch, hidden quickly behind her hand as she muffles her giggle there.

She shakes her head, wagging a finger at him and letting her toes give a few teasing splashes along the surface of the water beneath her. ]

These Gods must be really nice to me, then! That has to be your, what, fourth? Fifth time~?

oooh churro...

[pyritic]

[ fhoeifieh Orihime. ] You're a little too confident about staying up there... I've still got a ball left.

[ ...okay. only one. BUT STILL. ]

n_n just for you

[unifying]

[ Don't worry, Cloud, inside she's really cheering you on! \o/

Except, oops, she couldn't help that little giggle there. ]

Mm, well, maybe third time really is the charm, hm?

omnnomnom

[pyritic]

[ That laugh and the way she says it... it's a little familiar and he looks at her with some surprise before nodding. He winds up to throw--

...Well, great, now he feels a little bad about dunking her in the water. He hesitates and then starts again, making his actual throw: dead center, but with less force than usual. The game might register it; it might not. But he had to prove he could hit the target. ]

:3c

[unifying]

[ For a moment, nothing happens. Both Cloud and Orihime's eyes land on the target, where his ball had hit it dead center just mili-seconds ago, but just as Orihime opens her mouth to question it--

SPLASH!!

Sputter sputters sputters jdlkajsdalsputter ]

A-Ah... nice shot!

[pyritic]

[ Her flailing draws a soft "heh" from him as he wanders over. ]

I've got practice.

[ Most of it from today >_> ]

[unifying]

Ne, you must be an athlete back home~! [ And now that the taunting's over and the game's been won, have a shower of compliments to make up for all her AWFUL, MALICIOUS, MEAN TAUNTS. ;3; ]

[pyritic]

[ Taunting makes him get competitive. But compliments might swell his head--at least, his chest is obviously swelling a bit. ]

Mercenary. I do a little bit of everything.

[ He holds his hand out for her to grab on, if she wants. ]

[unifying]

[ Her hand hesitates in the air for a moment. Before tentatively slipping into his. ]

Mercenary...? That sounds scary....

[pyritic]

[ ... He wasn't intending to get that reaction out of her. Though it makes sense, doesn't it? A mercenary is willing to do a lot of different things for money. ]

It's not a job for anyone who gets scared easily. [ C'mon, up out of the tank. ]

[unifying]

[ Lips purse a little, cheeks puffing. ]

It's not too dangerous, right?

[ Her grip tightens around his hand but she doesn't really make an effort to get out just yet. As if holding out until he answers her in the affirmative. ]

[pyritic]

--you worried? [ About him? Kind of weird, since they just met. ]

Seems like it's always something or another lately. I still get the job done.

[ Well, except in the temple... but he's trying not to think about that. ]

[unifying]

Yeah... [ Since when should that stop anybody? ]

Well. At least you won't have to do that here, ne?

[pyritic]

[ Since--since--look, it's just weird, okay. It's not like he's in any trouble right now. ]

Doesn't make being here okay. Anyway, I chose that line of work. [ He doesn't need anyone feeling bad for him over it. ]
