It had been at Lucia's urging that the man wander back over here and get some much needed stress relief in the form of exercise. She had even bandaged up the right side of his face so he could swim and move about freely without fear his mask would move or come off. She took better care of him than he deserved.

Cross climbed to the highest diving platform, stretching and shifting before just diving in. The splash was a bit bigger than he wanted it to be, but it was still small and at least his hair was pulled back to prevent being blinded by stray strands as he dove and swam about. Hell, Anita had even rushed out to find him some nice swim trunks that she thought would suit the man... Cross still was inept at such processes.

She really didn't mean to stare but... well she hadn't really seen many men, at all, since Dudley. Even before Dudley.

It was very... uhm. Ah, what was the word?

Never mind, she's just going to look at her feet right about now. So maybe swimming wasn't completely bad. Trying to get over the fact she's blushing badly and think of things that weren't the sheer amount of half naked men around. Uhm. What was that thought again?

[wineandwomen]

Cross surfaced near Elizabeth, propping himself up on his elbows on the side of the pool, smiling up at the monarch. This must have been painfully awkward and scandalous for the poor queen.

"Is everything all right, m'lady?"

[1mistress_nomaster]

"... Yes, just ah. Different. It's very different." Swallowing... looking somewhere else. But trying not to be rude about it either. "... Do you truly not get sick from swimming and such?"

Because that at least was an honest concern. Regardless of Kanda being... 8|

[wineandwomen]

"I am sure it is. I do hope it is not causing you any distress." You don't... Have to do that, Elizabeth. Hard to have a conversation with you glancing all over the place and avoiding him. At least most of him is underwater?

"No. So long as one does not stay in the water too long and is mindful to dry off after leaving the water to take any chill out of the air."

[1mistress_nomaster]

"It's not really -- That is, it just takes some adjustment I suppose." Going to brave and look at him, just his face. That was... easy enough as long as she didn't look anywhere else.

"I see... I suppose that makes sense." Given her very limited understanding of how disease worked really.

[beanstalk]

Gag, you two. Just. Gag. Kanda rolls his eyes as he watches, keeping his attention mostly on the "Queen." He had put his shirt back on since having a brief dip in the pool himself, so there wasn't much to see as far as he was concerned...

But it never stopped him from walking by Elizabeth and just going, "Boo." Really, should you be standing so close to the edge of the pool?

[1mistress_nomaster]

Shut up, she was curious. It's your fault, Kanda.

Except she didn't hear him coming, yelped and jumped in surprise. Her shoes had no grip on wet tiles, at all and she completely lost her footing and fell backwards. Hitting the water like a dead weight.

And those three layers of silk, linen and wool? She sunk straight down -- and quickly discovered why screaming under water is a bad, bad idea.

[wineandwomen]

He had seen Kanda coming, what he hadn't seen coming was Kanda spooking Elizabeth and send the queen toppling into the pool.

Reacting purely on instinct, Cross dove under the water, swimming down to where Elizabeth had sunken, moving to her back to undo the dress and corset to free her from both in hopes to lighten the woman enough to bring her to the surface. The fabric sunk to the floor of the pool and Cross put an arm around the queen, bringing her to the edge.

Shifting, the exorcist put Elizabeth's elbows on the edge before rising from the water only to lean over, lifting the woman from the pool. He carried her to one of the lounges at the side and set her down carefully.

"Are you hurt anywhere, m'lady?"

... and then geoffery rush shows up, y/n?

[1mistress_nomaster]

She couldn't breath, even when she had air, all that came up was water. Instinct alone trying to help him help her, pulling at the edge to drag herself out of the water.

Her lungs cleared, slowly, by the time he picked her up, she wasn't choking any more, breathing raggedly instead. Having air in her lungs had never felt so good.

"N-No I'm f-fine." Except for being cold and practically naked by her standards, but she wasn't going to acknowledge that right now. Just set her teeth so they wouldn't chatter.

Alma loosed a shout from the perch he'd found by the shallow end of the pool, cheering the general on. It looked like fun, diving from those high platforms, but he'd learned on more than one occasion that water was not the easiest element to concur, and all his previous experiences involved pools much smaller and shallower than the one everyone was visiting now... But that was okay. He was happy just to be able to splash his feet in the water.

"That was so cool!"

[wineandwomen]

Hearing Alma when he surface earned a smile from the general and he headed over to the boy, swimming all the way rather than walking once in shallow water. Walking was lazy and slow.

"You think so? It could have been better... Been so long since I actually went swimming and even longer since I did any diving."

[alma_karma]

Alma smiled, leaning over to rest his elbows on his knees as the general drew closer.

"Yeah! I've never seen anyone do anything like that before. Did you used to swim a lot?"
