How Intriguing

come on in.... it's not that cold!

I wasn’t….[he chuckles, shaking his head] Nevermind. Are you done swimming already?

Well yeah... it's no fun doing it alone.

come on in.... it's not that cold!

[he looks away, scratching the back of his head]

[she chuckles] you can look now, no worries, I'm as covered as a nun

come on in.... it's not that cold!

[grabs a towel and leans over to hand it to her]

Thanks, [she comes out of the water, not showing off her body per se, but not hiding it either]

come on in.... it's not that cold!

I’m sure it takes more to offend the great Rita Skeeter.

You would be correct. [she giggles] if you're not coming in would you at least mind handing me that towel?

Okay lets go...

[doesn’t stop this time, walks away with his head down]

#aw this was sad #kat babes #c: Xander

Okay, bye. [she too drops her head and walks away]

Okay lets go...

See ya around Skeeter.

Xander wait! I'm sorry!

come on in.... it's not that cold!

I wouldn’t say that….

Ouch, Lupin, I'm deeply offended. [she puts her hand to her chest dramatically]

Okay lets go...

[he stops, glancing at her arm then to her] I know I’m not known for much besides that, and while it’s not the best reputation, it’s what I have. It’s just nice to hear one more person has low expectations of me, I shouldn’t really be surprised by that.

I- Xan-Xander that's not what I meant. I'm sorry I just... oh fuck it nevermind....

come on in.... it's not that cold!

Seems most people do. But good to know, here I just thought you didn’t like me.

Well this just proves why I am the one who is always right and you are not.

Okay lets go...

I didn’t toss you away, all I said was we couldn’t do that anymore. You’re the one who said it wasn’t good enough for you anyway. Sounds like I’m doing you a favor then.

[she puts her hand on his arm to stop him] Xander, I didn't mean it like that. I just dont get why you're doing this, it's what you're known for, your sexual prowess I wasnt asking much from you...

Okay lets go...

You’re right, I did. Good thing I decided to cut my losses. See you around Skeeter.

Xander, wait. Why the hell are you being like that? I should be like that. I'm the one who just got tossed away....

come on in.... it's not that cold!

Why do you want me to join you anyway? You don’t particularly like me Rita.

Awh come on Remus, I like you. I just like bantering with you a hell of a lot more.

#c: Remus

come on in.... it's not that cold!

It’s just the whole vulnerability of being in the water and, I dunno…just don’t find it appealing.

[she pouts] Pwease, Remus?

Okay lets go...

Oh. Well I’m glad I could raise your expectations some. [pushes her hand off his cheek] Glad we’re at an understanding then.

Oh dont be bitter, Smith, not like it's a huge loss to you... you were the one who came to me to call it off remember?

#I can relate #c: Xander

come on in.... it's not that cold!

Oh! No, no I can do that. I just don’t like to really…

And why's that?

Okay lets go...

Oh….okay, well good…[pauses, frowning] Wait, just alright? That’s not what you were saying before Skeeter.
