"Okay! Ready... Set..." Seriri began as she turned around and started counting down. "Go!" Seriri called as she kicked away from Schezo. It was good to see him in a good mood unlike earlier. She decided to go easier on him this time. She swam a bit slower than before for Schezo to catch up easier. She was not going to give him the win though. She doubted he would enjoy being handed victory. Still, the friendly mermaid made it fair for the up and coming swimmer.

(Up to you on whether or not Schezo catches up to and tags Seriri, Rina.)

On 'go', Schezo followed after her with his newfound skills. Overall, Schezo felt better about himself, and this invigoration may or may not have sped him up in the waters. He was able to close the gap a bit better in the waters, His hand could barely reach the tail fin, but he's determined to get her. He put his mind into it, ever so gradually closing the gap. Then...

Gotcha!

...He managed to tag her tail.

[Coolshaymin]

Seriri kicked back instinctively as she was tagged. Then her mind caught up to reality and she turned around. Oops, at least he was not close enough to get hit... Right? Either way she was quick to change the subject considering she was not used to this and did not want Schezo to dwell on it.

"Y-you win! Thanks for spending time with me again. I hope you feel good again soon. I should probably head home now though. Hope we can do this again sometime. Remember, if you need someone to talk to, I am always available, okay?" Seriri suggested as she moved to leave the pool.

[Rina]

Schezo resurfaced from the waters, reaching for the edge of the pool and climbing himself out. The random tail flick startled him, but at least he didn't get slapped. That...would've made for some troubling chain of events. Brushing his bangs away to see a bit better, he wanted to see Seriri off before he goes to dry up.

"I'll be seeing you again, then. And thank you for being attentive to my personal problems."

[Coolshaymin]

"No problem, Schezo. It was my pleasure to help you in your time of need. That's what friends are for, after all. Bye for now," Seriri replied to Schezo before turning around and going for the entrance. She was feeling rather proud of herself for helping Schezo through that funk... She still wondered what caused it though and if it would happen again... Either way, she temporarily cured it and that is all that matters. Now she just wanted to check on what Ciel has been doing.

Schezo waved goodbye, taking the towel to dry himself off before going off to change back. It was about time for him to get back home too. Though he might just regress back to his usual self, feeling this upbeat was rare for him. Might as well make it last. Ah, best not think about it for now. What else is there to for the Dark Wizard now? After changing back to his usual garb, he headed out to elsewhere.

...You know, I still owe Rider that explanation for my unruly reaction...
