Who: Kiriko and Reizo.
What: Appleologies.
Where: The Beach.
When: After Toshidungeon, last day of the beach.
Why: That was humiliating.

The problem was just that she had too much pride to swallow. This was probably objectively true, but it was also very little comfort, and so she fiddled anxiously with a strand of hair hanging over her shoulder as she marched across the beach towards its lone occupant. This was necessary, she reminded herself.

Alright, quickly. Like ripping off a bandaid.

And it couldn't possibly make it any worse. If she hadn't gone and embarrassed herself in the first place it would never have come to this!

She stopped at the shore and let the waves lap over her feet, folding her arms across her chest. Calm. Still. Okay.

"Hey, Shirai?" she waited for acknowledgment. "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry about freaking out on you earlier." Even though you did sort of deserve it.

Put me down

A silence descended after that statement, oppressive and thoughtful, the sort that wasn’t a silence at all, really, because the infrequent seabird caw could still be heard, and the tide still lapped calmly against the beach, but one that you created by the stunning realization of the stupid thing you just said dominating your thoughts, the phrase itself sliding through your vision in honking big red letters.

It didn’t help that a grin had slid across his face, evil and satisfied, either. His fingers flexed gently on her thin ankles, almost dancing across them, and his wide shoulders rolled, tipping her with them as he drunk in the mounting terror of the moment, and give her time to really start to appreciate what she’d said.

“If you say so,” he said, voice dropped several timbres into something sinisterly smoky.

He rolled his neck forward and slid his hands up, hefted her up above his head and propelled her through the air with a grunt. The distance really was sort of impressive.

Her bizarre combination of a shriek and a "whoa" was silenced suddenly, drown out by the (rather painful) sound of her back slapping the water. Silence for a few moments, the kind absent of honking red letters, then a loud gasp and flailing splashes as she broke the surface once again, this time with a sheet of dark wet hair covering her face completely. Her teeth gritted, her shoulders drawn up to her neck, she hooked a finger to draw back the curtain of hair and reveal the glare that anyone sensible would have already known was under there.

"I hate you."
