I'll protect you from the scary seals, Sorey. It's my duty as a Sub Lord.

[imsorey]

Fine, the seals can eat you instead. Your sacrifice is greatly appreciated, O great Sub Lord.

[oneandmikleonly]

[cheerfully dumps a blob of seawater on him; this is helpful, because it washes off the worst of the fish smell, probably]

[imsorey]

[wow is this how you treat your Shepherd!!

because Sorey does not have water powers he does the next best thing and bodily scoops Mikleo up into his arms in order to dump him into the water]

[oneandmikleonly]

[YELLS and snatches at Sorey's dive suit as he goes down

on the one hand it means he gets a mouthful of seawater

on the other, it means Sorey goes down with him, ha HA]

[imsorey]

[this is like the third time today that Sorey has fallen into the ocean so he at least has the reflexive instinct to hold his breath and not get a mouthful of seawater

he's still ending up in the water which is unfortunate, but he gives Mikleo a little push further under to make sure that he comes up first]

[ANGRY SUBMERGED GLUBBING]

[imsorey]

[l-laughing and trying to swim back up to shore before Mikleo can grab him]

[oneandmikleonly]

[he feels Mikleo's fingers snag on his ankle briefly, but it's not strong enough to pull him back; Mikleo crawls spluttering back onto the beach after him, probably to the amusement of the watching seals.]

I'll--I'll get you for that later.

[imsorey]

[the seals are a good peanut gallery, especially since they keep coming closer to sniff for more food]

If you tell me that I'm just going to keep my guard up.

[oneandmikleonly]

May I remind you that we're surrounded by water. Literally in my element -- oh, give me another fish.

[imsorey]

It'll be a challenge for both of us, then.

[handing over another fish]

[oneandmikleonly]

I'll take a handicap if you want me to.

[slowly tempting another seal over with it, to see if he can get it to bub onto Sorey's lap]

[imsorey]

[he's just gonna give it a big hug if it gets that close to him]

I'll have to think about it. I don't want you complaining when you lose.

[oneandmikleonly]

When, huh? Aren't we feeling confident today.

[sorey that is a WILD ANIMAL]

[imsorey]

[YEAH IT'S FINE, IT'S NOT A HELLION OR SOMETHING. if it didn't want a hug it wouldn't be practically climbing into his lap for a fish]

We did find seals, so I think luck's on my side today. Nothing wrong with a little confidence after this, right?

[oneandmikleonly]

Juuust don't overdo it too much.

[successfully gets the seal to climb up onto Sorey's legs to get the fish >D]

[imsorey]

[laughing and halfheartedly trying to push it off]

I haven't overdone anything yet! It'll be fine.

[oneandmikleonly]

[seals are really heavy, he's trapped]

Are you sure?

[imsorey]

[he...he sure is.]

Of course. Have a little faith here.

[it's not that convincing with a seal on top of him but he's confident enough in it]

[oneandmikleonly]

[considers this tableau of Sorey and seal, very thoughtfully]

Hey, put your arm out for a second. On the sand.

[imsorey]

This isn't some kind of trick, is it?

[but he does it anyways]

[oneandmikleonly]

[lays down on the sand and pillows his head on it, looking very satisfied

now Sorey's double trapped]

[imsorey]

[IT WAS A TRICK!!!!]

Awwww, come on!

[oneandmikleonly]

Well, this is comfortable.
