Text Cut: our abs were always nicer to look at

No, she supposed she wasn't really. She liked them, but she'd never been particularly flowery herself. But, wasn't that what girls were supposed to be? To like? Another few splashes over her legs. She did like them, but something was bothering her and she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Thank...........you." He was being nice. Complimenting them when he thought they were a waste of money.

Her eyes went back to him when he explained the idea of animation. Though, it perhaps didn't have quite the effect that he had intended. Instead of her face lighting up with the possibilities, it fell. Rather abruptly. Tattoos that blew in the breeze? While his MOTHER had a PHOENIX that MOVED?!

Hopefully, her expression explained how awesome she thought that was. Because it was SUPER awesome. A grand idea. An idea that......why hadn't she thought of it?

She'd chosen flowers. She could have picked dragons or birds that turned into fire or a patronus or any number of awesome, magical things.

Nope. Flowers.

Amur splashed them a bit more, suddenly discontent. All of a sudden, Zeke's abs DID seem like the better thing to look at.

"Your mum sounds pretty awesome." A woman that got that kind of tattoo was just naturally awesome, and had Amur's respect.

She splashed the water over her legs again, suddenly not wanting to talk about this. "Should we swim?"

Yup. Totally ignoring the hinging fact that Zeke didn't have a shirt and that was STILL a point of pure confusion for her. They were at the water, he'd taken the effort to change. They might as well make use of it.


He still couldn't shake the feeling that he'd said the wrong thing, but for once there was no point analysing and agonising over it. Women, were notoriously difficult to understand, he knew this for a fact, and had already resigned himself to accepting that he wouldn't be able to decipher their feelings or reactions any time soon. So while he liked to think he KNEW most of the women in his life, he could respect that they were capable of surprising him. Emily with her stares, Maggie with her eye-rolls and Amur with her smacks... or lack thereof at the moment. Hhmm.

Even her thanks seemed forced, but all he could do was sit, and pretend that all was well.

And it was well, wasn't it? Amur's expression changed too, so it couldn't be all bad. The compliment for his mum wasn't surprising either, "She is," he assured solemnly. It was hard not to be awesome when you kicked the butts of grown criminal men for a living. He was still thinking of this when the invitation to swim came.

Blinking, Zeke nodded his approval, rising to his feet before wading back out into the water. "Just don't get my hair wet, I need to look good for class," he joked, grinning. His hair was already wet regardless, she'd seen to that.
