[/td][/tr][/table]Lucky enough for Jikai, Alexander wasn't the first one to find him drowning. The vampire arrives at the beach moments after Chat, attracted by the screaming and general chaos of the situation. They can't help but laugh when they see the witch and panther, arms crossing over their chest. "It's a good time to go skinny dipping, I suppose, but I think you missed a few steps." First step being that you had to know how to swim. They would have to throw Jikai back out into the water a couple of times for that to happen, though.
They settled down on the sand, watching as the panther drags both of them back to shore, looking more indifferent than the situation should have allowed. When Chat gets close enough, Alex picks themselves up and comes to the edge of the water, gesturing for him to turn so they can take Jikai off his shoulders. They would be content to sit on the beach and heckle the two, but the witch looked like he was seeing the light, and - well, Alexander didn't want to lose one of the only forms of entertainment they had in this town.
The vampire tugs Jikai off of Chat's shoulder, wrapping an arm around his waist to keep him steady. They hum in thought, their mischievous smile back, burgundy eyes glinting in the dark. "So, what? You don't know how to swim? What were you doing out there, silly witch? You're a mortal, you know." They tease, dragging the man through the sand, away from the water. They glance back at the big cat to see if he's following them, throwing a wink over their shoulder. "Hey, once you get all that salt water out of your lungs, we'll throw you back in. You gotta learn how to swim in a seaside town."
&& beach 1/3, go swimming 1/3
