LOREN
Smirking just a little at Hotaru's response, Loren openly let his gaze sweep over her from head to the toes that were hidden in the water. It was a nice view, especially considering the way her wet shirt clung to her. "Clearly." Having succumbed to the inevitable a while ago, the healer had stripped off his shirt as well, so he was dressed only in a pair of shorts. Slipping a flask out of a pocket, he took a generous drink from it.
At her teasing comment (and the burn of alcohol down his throat), more life bled back into him. Letting out a huff of laughter, he leaned forward. "But I worked so hard on these. Why would I try to hide them?" Sliding his arms around his slightly bent knees, he tilted his head. "A very tempting offer. However, I'm afraid I'm a very poor swimmer. Never really learned growing up." He shrugged, not at all bothered by the admission.
