“You think I would learn I can’t fake anything around you.” She let out a small annoyed sigh. “Or him, but at least he hasn’t called me out yet.” 

She pointed over behind them. “There are some good smoothies with the little umbrellas in them.”

So that was on purpose. “When I say I have no specific target i mean… well it’s like I draw a really big circle…. and Claude just happens to be in that circle.” She was trying to play it off very nonchalantly even though she knew Yuri was smarter than that.

“He can spend any time with any one he wants obviously.”

That made her pout just a little. “Heeeeey, I thought you were going after Dorothea’s rejects.”

“Sometimes you gotta put a little work in. One of the few I put effort into, although most times I don’t have to do much.” She winked. “We could get you a parasol to protect your poor pale skin.”

“There are bound to be a lot of them, I mean did you see what she’s wearing? I hope it’s enough for her to get the real attention she desires, but the girl has her work cut out for her.” Hilda had seen a lot of dense people, but honestly Ingrid had to be in the top five. 

“Maybe you can convince one to help you with sunscreen, that trick works most of the time.”

“I see you have your priorities in check. Plus swimsuits are as cute and fun to wear as they are to look at. Even if you don’t like the sun, it’s the perfect vacation. No assignments, no sitting in lectures, no training, the professor may be here but at least she’s the chillest one.” The jury was still out on if Dunban would rain on any parties, but she wasn’t about to let that stop her.

“You don’t plan on hiding here all the time do you? At least walk the beach when the sun goes down, the sand feels great.”

“That’s quite the dedication. I guess you’re lucky shade can be found even here.” Yet she couldn’t blame him, their group had gotten larger since the first suggestion and there was bound to be entertainment. 

“What exactly are you hoping to witness, or are you just wanting to gather potential gossip first hand?”

“Wow, this isn’t the sort of place I expected to run into you Yuri.” Poor guy looked like he might fry under a single ray of sun. “Fun in the sun seems a bit much for you.”

All I've got are my dreams, a handful of people working for me, and a pittance of gold. Well, and my undeniable charms, of course.

“Do you not like them or do they not like you?” She knew not everyone was a fan, but for all animals?
