*Don grinned at her as she entered the swimming cave and returned the wave she gave him. The smile fell off his face when she took her robe off. Je-zus The scars covered everything that was normally hidden under clothes. He's seen her arms, and when he had looked at that burn in the cave he'd seen them on her lower leg and had suspected that they go all the way up, but it was another thing to have it confirmed like that. The burn... the scar! He'd forgotten. He swam towards the area she had dived into, waiting for her to surface.*

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 02:01 AM

curled up under blue, kya let herself float slowly back up to the surface. she was in no hurry to see the look on his face, but she would need air sooner than later. thankfully her her buoyancy was low enough that breaking the surface took a painfully long time. She gasped in the air and prepared for the worst.

kya (wiping the water from her eyes) hi?

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 02:04 AM

*He smiled at her.* Hey. I was starting to think you were going to take up residence down there. This is going to sound a little silly, but how long can humans hold their breath?

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 02:07 AM

kya: (blinking to get the stray beads of water out of her eyes and in a fair measure of confusion) ... um... i can hold mine about a minute and some seconds... but mostly i'd say i can hold my breath til it runs out.....

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 02:21 AM

*He chuckled a little at her reply, and allowed himself to float on his back, aided only by lazy movements of his arms.* Hey Kya, I just thought of something. I'd promised you a salve to soften up that scar on your leg, and I completely forgot about it... I'm sorry. Remind me when we're done in here, and I'll grab it out of the infirmirary for you, OK?

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 02:28 AM

kya tred water with considerably more effort than his floating was costing him. His reaction was so completely not what she'd expected. he spoke about "that scar on her leg" like it was the only one he'd noticed. She was thrilled that he wasn't upset... but it almost felt like she'd MISSED something somehow....

kya (not one to argue with good if strange events) okay, don...

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 02:34 AM

*Don turned upright again.* Kya? You sound confused. You remember what I'm talking about right? When I checked your burn in the back cave yesterday?

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 02:37 AM

he was looking at her...

kya let herself settle further into the water.

kya: i 'member.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 02:43 AM

*Don looked puzzled and allowed himself to drift a little closer. Softly.* Kya? Did I say something wrong?

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 02:58 AM

kya's eyes stared back at him and with her lips pressed firmly together she shook her head "no."

kya(internal) ... he's so close... he couldn't miss ANY of this....

kya instinctively crossed her arms over her chest to buy herself SOME kind of cover. She immediately sank. Her feet weren't enough to keep her treading water. She resurfaced coughing a bit and blushing a lot.

Kya; (between coughes) no, donnie... you didnt...
she scooted a way a few inches as she tried to get the stray water from her airways.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 03:04 AM

Don: oh.

*He backed off a bit, sadness flashing over his features as he gave her more space. It was the "human" comment. I know it. Reminded her how different we are. She doesn't want me near her. Knew it was too good to last...*

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 03:18 AM

donnie was pulling away now.

kya( internal) what?! no! that's not what i wanted! --- but that WAS what you wanted. you panicked when he started looking at you. keep it up and he WON"T look at you. that's what you want right? --- NO! i want him to look, but -- but what? how can you want him to want THAT? you hate to look at it yourself and it's YOURS! Do you WANT to see that look on his face? --- NO. i- i DON"T. I want him to look at me and KNOW that he sees what I do, but that he WILL NEVER Look at me like a freak or a monster or like i'm just BROKEN... I don't want to BE SCARED that at some point he's gonna NOTICE it all -- he's already noticed it. you've not seen that look from him yet. what makes you think it's a time-delay reaction?--- what the hell am i supposed to say?! "hey! do'ya think i'm ugly?" -- no... but say something or he's gonna go do laps and you'll never catch up....

kya had debated with herself long enough with herself that Don was actually beginning to move off.

kya; No! Donnie?
She swam to catch up.
kya: wait for me...

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 03:26 AM

*Don stopped and started to tread water, looking back at her.* Huh? *He said eloquently as she swam to catch up.*

Ok.... I'm really new at this, and pretty confused, so I'm just going to straight out ask... that truth thing we talked about a few days ago... I thought I'd screwed it all up there for a minute... maybe I did, maybe I didn't but... what did I do to upset you? Or are you upset? Gah... *he shook his head* You know what I mean, right? *his tone was pleading*

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 03:39 AM

kya swam a little closer and shut her eyes to cernter herself. She started talking before she'd opened them again, but a few sentences in she'd managed to make and hold eye contact with Don.

kya: (struggling a bit to tread water, speak properly, and not make a complete mess of everything) you didn't mess up anything Donnie. i'm upset, but not with you. i just -- Donnie? this may not make a whole lot of sense for me to ask-- i like you, Donnie... and i don't want that to stop, but... (deep breath) WHY do you want a girl covered in these? (she held one arm completely above the water for about half a second before she needed it back underwater to help tread)

kya'd asked the question that had been eating at her from day one and now she just had NO clue what to do. She stared back at him and waited for some kind of answer.

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 03:51 AM

*Don looked surprised at her question.* I never thought about your scars Kya... they didn't matter. I asked you out because, you're sweet, and brave, and cute... *His voice trailed off again.* Hold on a minute... I never did ask you out did I? Let me fix that. Kya, would you let me take you to a movie? At some point when we aren't grounded? *he asked with a half grin, but the grin slowly faltered.*

I've got a question for you Kya... You said you liked me... It doesn't bug you that I'm a five foot tall talking reptile?

He put his bowl and his fork down and, sighing deepy with both hands in his lap, pulled out his NEXT concern.

R: you know about Splinter right?

*Kali nodded.* I know about his collapse, if that's what you mean. I was there when it happened. I tried to find you but you were gone when I got back to the room.

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 03:28 PM

kya bobbed and dipped under for a second before she remembered to tread.

kya (internal -- still under h2o) ... didn't matter...
The breath she's been holdiing rushed out in stream of bubbles... She burst the surface and had her arms around Donnie before she even finished thinking the rest of his words through.

kya: (smiling like an idiot, his questions finally beginning to register) ... movie? SURE!! ANYTHING is fine, Donnie! .... huh? what?

She pulled away a bit to see his face, but didn't let go.

kya: reptile? it never occurred to me that is SHOULD bug me... I mean-- Donnie, ( she blushed a little, but she didn't shy away) you've got to be the most... (she groped for a word in english and gave up) SIMPATICO man i have EVER met!!

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 03:37 PM

Don: Whoa! *He wrapped his arms around her instinctively, and kicked harder to keep them both afloat. Right, maybe we should be doing this in the shallow end. He was distracted before he could do anything about it. She was saying it never occurred to her... His smile was like the sun coming out.* Really?

*He kicked for the edge, and reluctantly removed one arm from her waist so he could hang on.* Um, what does simpatico mean? I hope its not "simple".... *His grin was still firmly in place.*

*kyabetsu* · 12-01-2002, 04:05 PM

kya let her legs just trail in the water, and pulled one hand away for a moment to push her hair back out of her eyes and to wipe the water drops that were blurring her view of THAT SMILE.

kya: (second hand back around him) ... simple? no no no... (she frowned for a moment...) it translates, but awkwardly... um, everything is JUST RIGHT...simpatico means that everything i've found out about you suits me to a tea. Donatello. Makes. Me. Happy. (she reached over and kissed him on the highest point she could reach. his shoulder.)

*Vespera Blaze* · 12-01-2002, 04:14 PM

Don: So thats Simpatico, huh? Well, ditto. Kya es muy muy simpatico?

*he laughed at his own weak attempt at Spanish. Instead, in Japanese.* Kyabetsu makes Donatello very very happy. *The only part he could reach to kiss at the moment was the top of her head, so he did.*
