RP: Happy Saturday
Characters: Tris, Remus
Time/Date: Afternoon, October 9
Location: rooftop pool
Warnings/Rating: Half-naked werewolf?
Summary: Tris decides to try that swimming thing
Status: Complete

Tris had been unable to find anyone that morning. Granted, he hadn't looked very hard, but he'd hit most of the public areas and he hadn't found LilyLu, Hugo, or Remus. He figured that the odds were good that LilyLu was fucking, Remus was reading somewhere, but ... Hugo should have been out in the public areas. Unless he was sleeping or something.

Either way, Tristan had retreated to his own room and fished out the recently procured pair of swim trunks. He hadn't done more than splash around in the lake at school, but he was a little curious how he'd fare at the whole 'swimming' thing. It was worth a shot, right? What was the worst that could happen, aside from drowning?

He had enough faith in his flailing limbs to trust he wouldn't drown before he could get his feet on solid ground, so ... what the hell, right?

Carting a towel up to the rooftop area, Tristan dropped it onto a lounge chair before he waded over to the edge of the pool. His wand was carefully wrapped in the towel, and while he wasn't keen on it being so far away, he wasn't going to take it in the water with him. Which made him wonder if that was why swimming was not a big sport among witches and wizards.

But then, they couldn't take their wands up while they were playing quidditch, either, so ... that argument was kind of shot down. Shrugging to himself, Tristan started to wade into the water slowly, laughing a little as it came up to his waist. He eyed the area in front of him, and in the spirit of being Tristan, jumped forward into the water. He plunged his face under and wheeled his arms until he figured out the basics of staying afloat, and then he began to wolf-paddle around the pool.

This wasn't so hard.

Surprisingly enough, Tristan's guess about Remus' whereabouts would have been correct; he had been reading in his room, but he decided he wanted to be outside for a bit. He hadn't spent much time on the roof and decided he would give it a try. There were chairs up there, at least.

He paused when he saw someone in the pool. Cocking his head to the side, he ran his free hand down his mouth to keep from grinning too widely. Remus wasn't an expert swimmer by any stretch of the imagination and it wasn't something he did a lot in his free time, but he had always assumed that no one actually doggy paddled except for children and ... dogs.

Opening his mouth, he almost commented on it, but he didn't want to make Tristan feel bad for his swimming choices. Instead, he settled on a simple, "Hello there," as he moved towards a chair close to the pool.

"Thought I smelled wet dog," he offered as he rolled onto his back. After a bit of flailing, he managed to find some stability in the water. "Then I realized it was me." He grinned. "Guess you smelled it too, huh?"

Working himself around in the water, he managed to half-paddle, half-stroke his way to the edge closest to where Remus was. Crossing his arms over each other, he leaned his bare chest against them as he trod water and gazed at the other wolf.

"Or were you just stalking the fake sunshine?" he teased as he watched Remus. "Because I know you didn't come to the pool to read. Pools are for swimming, not for reading," he solemnly reported.
