011-[Action] Getting so tired of this...

[tuna_surprise]

[Things have been tough on Seychelles lately. First there was a boatload of drama involving England, then her not!dad the Mayor of Townsville got droned. And now France is gone too. She doesn't know how much more of this she can take. But she also knows that everyone here has the same problems, so its not even really fair to complain about them.

[You people and your funny antics! Just ignore Yuuto watching you swim~]

[tuna_surprise]

[She's not really in a position to notice her surroundings anyway. The way she's swimming almost seems....angry.]

[playswithwater]

[Which he's probably noticed, but he's not interested in outing himself, so her water will stay... safe. And normal.]

[scentofbauhinia]

[Loves the water, swimming, blah blah. So he's often coming here if he finds he can't sleep. Also he's always liked to stay out ridiculously late to troll China and England.

...Hey, isn't that Taiwan's friend?

The one he should remember better because they were both British colonies, but doesn't because apparently nobody does unless you get shipwrecked at her house.

Anywhoo, he's watching curiously. Mostly because he considers himself a good swimmer and Seychelles, as another watery/coastal/island nation, looks like she might be competition.]

[tuna_surprise]

[She's been swimming for a long time now, and finally comes up for air. Clinging to the edge of the pool with her back turned towards him, it sounds as if she's gasping for air. Or is that sobbing? It's hard to tell from this angle.]

[scentofbauhinia]

[He hears it and slowly makes his over.]

Seychelles?

[And he's kneeling down in front of her]

...Are you crying?

Backtagging like whoa....

[tuna_surprise]

[She gasps and looks up, horrified. Then hastily turns away and wipes at the tears.]

N-no! I- I'm fine....

[Jecht rolls in around 3 AM, hoping to get some peace and quiet himself. To his surprise, here's one of his blitz students, churning away at practice. He grins at first, but quickly realizes that she's not on top of her game at all. Approaching the edge of the pool, he just stands there with his arms folded for a while, watching silently until she gets to a stopping or breaking point.]

"...What's eatin' you, kid? Your form's a mess."

[tuna_surprise]

C- Coach...

[She stares up at him, clinging to the edge of the pool. She opens her mouth to say something more, but her words are swallowed in a choking sob. She seems almost surprised as tears well up, blurring her vision.]

[child_abuser]

[Looks surprised and sort of at a loss for words here.]

"...What the hell happened to you?"

[And then anger flashes across his face.]

"Whose ass do I have to kick?"

[tuna_surprise]

[She brings up one hand to try to wipe the tears away and shakes her head.]

It's....It's nothing like that. Just....don't worry about it.
