Tobias had ignored her until she splashed him, and stood up indignantly, the water only a little past his waist. He held up a hand and opened his mouth, preparing to shout at her, but paused. He blushed, noting the lack of clothing she had, and immediately turned back around, sinking back into the water. 'Don't stare don't stare she looks like she's what, sixteen? Don't stare don't stare...'

Masquerade couldn't help but laugh, throwing her head back so far that she floundered down underneath the water again. When she resurfaced, she was still giggling, and coughing a little, as she grinned at Tobias. "What's wrong?" she asked innocently, but the mischievous look in her eyes was anything but innocent.

"You're halfway to naked," He grumbled, heading back to the water's edge. He untied his headband and boots, followed by his vest, laying them on the grass to dry. After a short moment, he shrugged, and peeled his wet shirt off, exposing the numerous scars and such that scattered his back, arms, and chest. He lay that beside his other items, and sat on a large stone half-submersed in water, still keeping his eyes off of Masquerade. "It's not okay for me to be looking at you like this," He added, the light blush returning.

She swam around in a little circle, and faced him again, leaning back to float with her belly to the sky. She folded her arms behind her head, looking perfectly at ease. And very amused, by the grin she couldn't keep off her face. "So are you," she pointed out, once he's taken off his shirt.

"But I have pants on," He corrected, glancing at her before quickly averting his eyes. "While you do not," He dipped his feet in the water, watching a small group of tadpoles flee at the presence of his toes.

She raised an eyebrow at him and then shrugged, looking rather indifferent. "You don't... have to have pants on."

The blush was back, and heavier than before. 'Okay, no. Not happening-- She just wants to see me get embarrassed...' He narrowed his eyes, glanced back at her, then stood, splashing back to his stuff. He undid his belt and dropped his pants, now left in his own undergarments. "There," He frowned, looking back at her as he re-entered the water. "Happy now?"

Masquerade went into another fit of giggles, apparently finding this all very funny indeed. "You can't even imagine," she choked out.

His frown deepened, and he splashed over to her, grabbing her wrists and pushing her back against a rock. "You're terrible," He muttered, holding her wrists just above her head on the stone.

Masquerade's grin disappeared for an instant in her surprise, but it reappeared a moment later, along with a dangerous glint in her eyes. "Oh, my, of course I am. I'm just simply horrid compared to you." She wriggled under his touch, half trying to get free, but not trying very hard.

His grip tightened, and he scanned her face, still angry. "Just.... awful...." His voice trailed off, and he turned his neck so his forehead rested against his upper right arm. Slowly, his grip on her wrists loosened.

Masquerade slipped from his grasp, but did not move away. Her head tipped to one side, and her eyes traced over his face, her own expression thoughtful. "No sense of humor, I see," she muttered, frowning, as she ducked under the water again, coming up a few feet away.

"Of course not. Why would I be a mercenary if I had a sense of humor? Nothing funny about this business..." He murmured, clenching one of his fists. He still didn't look at her as he got out of the water again, grabbing his pants and wringing excess water out of them before tugging them on.

"Oh come on," she whined, scowling up at him as she treaded water. "Don't you ever just relax? Enjoy life? What's the point of living if you can't just sit back and appreciate it once in a while?"

"As true as that may be, right now I have a job to do. There's no time to just... relax," He slipped his belt through the loops and tightened it, calming down. Big man, short fuse.
