taking a swim (TAG Kristoff)

"Being realistic is overrated," he smirked. "I like to surprise." Kristoff swam over to her and gave her a friendly smile as he rolled his shoulders. "Whenever you're ready."

She giggled and got into a vertical position. "Alright! I am ready. To the other side and back? At 3? 1.....2....3!", she counted smirking and scuffed from the wall, starting to swim to the other end of the pool.

When Alisa got to 3, he kicked off from the wall and began to swim as well. It was a huge pool so it might take a couple of minutes to complete. After a few seconds, he glanced back and saw that she was a little far behind so he just slowed his pace a little bit--hopefully she would just think he got tired or something.

Alisa was swimming on like 60%, because she wanted to keep a little of her strength for the last meters. She didn't notice him to swim slower at the beginning. When she reached the other side, she finally noticed and really thought that he had started with 100% immidiately. But he was still faster then she was.

He was swimming slower than he normally would so he didn't feel too tired at all, but he was just about to make it to the end of the race when he glanced back to see her. She wasn't that far behind, but she was beginning to go faster since it was the end. He reached the wall and stopped but looked back to see her finish only a few seconds later.

"I almost got ya!", she said with a smile, breathing a little heavy because she gave it all in the end. She put a hand on top of the wall, running the other hand through her face to get rid of the water. She tilted her head. "You're not even a little out of breath are you? C'mon, you shouldn't have to hold back for me.", she gently hit his arm in a playful manner and chuckled.

He couldn't help but smile warmly at her when she was still so lively even though she was out of breath. He was breathing a little heavier too. "No, no, we were still close though!" He laughed back when she accused of him holding back. "You're a pretty good swimmer."

She was still giggeling when she replied: "Nah, stop lying! I know I could never keep up with someone with such big upper arms!" She smiled up to him.

He rolled his eyes playfully and nudged her with his elbow gently. "Oh please," he replied before chuckling back and crossing his arms and smiled at her. "It's not just about the arms. You've got great legs, so you can paddle pretty fast."

SHe laughed. "Aaaaah, that hurted!", she said teasingly and played to be in pain. Of course it didn't hurt at all. "Oh uh..thank you?", she said and blushed, still a cute smile on her lips. "Maybe it's both of it..", she said eventually.

He tilted his head when she pretended to be in pain. He blinked a little bit to her cute smile and glanced away a little as he chuckled. Was she being that cute on purpose? Probably not, but it was making him feel flustered regardless. "That... would be the most likely," he said after a little bit with a weak chuckle.

She smiled and got on her back again, looking up to the glass-floor. "I think this building is really impressive isn't it? It looks almost like the greenhouse...a masterpiece of architecture, isn't it?", she said, swimming a little on her back, before looking at him again. "Are you interested in such things?", she asked with a smile.

He smiled. "It is really impressive, yup." He glanced around. The architecture was fascinating, but it wasn't all too new for him as his parents in England truly were the definition of stupidly wealthy. Not that their materialism ever rubbed off onto him though. "A little bit. But I'm not as sophisticated to really appreciate it as much as I should," he admitted as he rubbed his neck. "I didn't think this place would have architecture like this."

"I see. Well, actually I did. I was expecting the most modern things here in every corner, the architecture included. And it really is like that. I just didn't know everything would be that big or that comfortable.", she said still smiling. "I could get used to this." Her family wasn't poor in any way, but they preferred a puristic lifestyle. Maybe just because of the traditions and all. Pfft.

He smiled at what she said. "Well they could've put all this space into the dorms too," he chuckled a little. He didn't like sharing one room with two other people. "...That thing you do, floating on your back in the water, how do you do it?" He took a few steps towards her. "I always just end up sinking, guess I don't have good balance or anything."

"Oh, that would be awful!", she chuckled herself. "Eh? Oh, really? I don't really know..I just...do it?"; she looked at him. "Maybe you ar too heavy", she said and chuckled, before she hugged him since she didn't want him to feel bad and he was standing right next to her. "I didn't mean it, sorry.", she said, still chuckeling.

He pretended to be hurt at her comment just like how she did earlier. "Aww, that hurts to hear.. And I've been watching my weight too." he joked as he pouted his lips in a kidding way. After she hugged him, he lifted his arms slightly, a little surprised that she hugged him and patted her shoulders unsure of how to react. "I'm not bothered, don't worry." He said with a weak laugh.

She laughed, too. SHe always hugged everyone, so it was just natural for her to do it. "Yeah, alright." Her glance fell on the spring boards. "I wonder if you can do something special on them. I really wish I could do something fancy like a somersault or something, but all I can do is making a handstand on it.", she said and grinned slightly.

"A handstand? On that flimsy little thing?" He said, blinking a few times as she made it seem like nothing. If he even tried to do that, he'd just fall headfirst into the water. He crossed his arms with a playful grin. "I want proof."

She chuckled. "Alright but then you have to show me something yourself!", she requested and swam to the ledder to get out of the water. Outside of it, whe went over to the 1 meter-spring board. "Okay, now look and be filled with wonder!", she said and chuckled while she was going on the bord and to the end of it. She reached out for the edges of it, wrapping her hands around them and going into a handstand. She didn't stay like that for long, instead she let herself fall into the water with her feet first. When she reached the surface again, she grinned at Kristoff. "Proof enough?", she asked with a sweet glance.
