Characters: Flynn Scifo, anyone else.
Where: Balicea, the beach.
When: June 10th
Summary: Flynn was told to take a break. So he is. Begrudgingly. But at least he looks good in board shorts.
Warning: None so far.

[It's a sunny day and Flynn leans back into the beach chair, unable to really relax - he was told to relax, and Flynn took orders rather seriously, but this was one thing he wasn't good with. That, and cooking, but he'd never admit to cooking badly. In any case, after navigating the odd world of sun screen Flynn takes a look and feels slightly at ease considering that there were many people minding their own business at the beach, so he felt less self-conscious than he thought he would.]

What kind of thing did you have in mind, Yuffie?

I don't. [She pulls at his arm.] We're gonna wing it.

[She drags him closer to the waters edge before looking up at him with a wink.]

You think you can do that?

[No.]

Sure, I'll try.

[He gets pulled along for the ride.]

Good!

[Yuffie smiles and then pushes him into the water giggling.]

Come on.

[She sticks her tongue out and then jumps into the crashing waves after him. The waves easily push her small frame back onto the sand and so she is quickly sitting on the shore.]

That might have back fired.

[Flynn can't help but laugh. Seeing someone this carefree was refreshing, though it was also a bit of a one-eighty from when he first met Yuffie in the prison.]

You need a bit more meat on your bones if you plan on taking on these crashing waves.

[Flynn's in the water and all wet, but waves over to Yuffie to call her back in.]

Try cutting through them by making your body space smaller, like going into a wave shoulder-first.

I know how to swim!

[Yuffie sticks out her tongue. The truth is that she's tried so hard to forget what had happened in the prison. It's been hard and the recent memories haven't helped but Yuffie is stubborn and hates it when things get her down.

She jumps into the waves again this time diving under the crashing torrent of water. She breaks the water surface next to Flynn with a smile.]

Made it!

[Flynn holds up his hand to give her a high-five]

Way to go!

[Yuffie jumps up hitting his palm with a little to much enthusiasm. She falls into him and then into the water as it continues to roll beneath them.]

Whoops!

[She peeks up and begins floating on the water surface.]

So did you see the dreams too?

... yeah.

[Flynn saw Niren's death again, which wasn't something he wanted to recall a lot. It took him months if not years to finally stop waking up in the middle of the night wondering what else he could have done to save his captain, and it turned out even in the solace of dreams nothing could have changed his fate.]

Did you see something from your past, or from someone else's?

Both. It sucked. Yuri saw it too... that was awkward.

[Yuffie closes her eyes grimacing. She acted like such a doofus in her memory. Even though she knew it wasn't real it hurt so much to see.]

Actually. A bunch of people saw it which is really annoying!!!

[She kicks her feet but manages to stay floating.]

Well, you know what they say: a rumor only lasts for so many days...

[Yuffie rolls from her back so that she can look at Flynn. She has one eyebrow raised giving him a look like he's lost his mind.]

If you were there then you wouldn't forget it.

[She lightly flicks the water with her fingers before groaning.]

This is so annoying!

Well, if you can't do anything about it, why stress out about it?

Besides, I'm sure you saw a lot of things other people would have rather you didn't.

[That is awkward because Yuffie had seen Yuri's dream and she remembers Flynn being there. She bites her lip and then smiles.]

You're right. Let's play then.

[With that as his warning she kicks her feet towards him, splashing water up into his face.]

Oh, come on! I don't have any kind of affinity with water!

[He tries splashing her back.]

[Yuffie just giggles.]

Then why come to the beach. Plus this is the ocean. No on commands her.

[She brings the flat of her hand against the surface of the water and slaps it spraying up water into Flynn's face.]

[~~If only he could use an Altered Arte...~~]

What was your fighting style like back home?

[He returns her splash with a few of his own.]

[Yuffie dives under the water letting his splashes fall on an empty space. She pops up to his right and then splash again with a wide smile.]

Can't you tell? I'm Th Great Ninja Yuffie!

This thing you call a "ninja" doesn't even exist in my world!

What does it even involve?

WHAT?!

[Yuffie almost falls forward into the water before looking up at Flynn with her mouth hanging wide open.]

Ninja's are sneaky and skilled assassins. They are the pride of Wutai and I'm the best! [Which is debatable but no one in Wutai bothers to argue with Yuffie about that anymore. Her fathers happy as long as she keeps practicing and Wutai's happy as long as there princess stays out of trouble.]

There's a ninja crystally skill here ya know. It's like that but... awesomer.

[Flynn blinks. That's gotta be saying something about Wutai, but what exactly it is is something he's not willing to blindly guess at.]

I may have to give it a try sometime, if it helps me understand you better.

[Yuffie pouts.]

What's there to understand? Ninja's are awesome and Wutai is awesome and they are both strong.

[She's happy that he wants to try and understand her since most dismiss her out of hand but she doesn't understand what's so confusing about this. She reaches for his hand and pulls.]

Let's go get your moogle or Jessie to equip the ninja job and then you'll see.

Aa, yes. Proteus should still be on the beach, taking a nap. I'm still used to having a companion like him...

Huh??

[Yuffie blinks twice.]

You have friends don't cha? Like Yuri or all those guard people.

[Her palm clapped over her mouth. She had seen Flynn in Yuri's dream but she didn't think it was him but memory him and she didn't want to tell him that.]

I mean we all have friends. -ish.

Haha, but the relationship you have with all of your friends is different from one another, right?

I mean, the sides you see of a lover are different than the sides your lover is seen by anybody else, such as their friends or enemies or work acquaintances.
