"Ryra," she says, hesatates and says to Aquaria,"Why are you in a pool instead of a bigger body of water?"

Aquaria smiles and says, floating in the pool, "Because I love it here and my friends are here. I would not want to be in the ocean without my friends, though they are not water spirits."

Long since discarded of his clothes, Koji stood with his arms crossed in the shower, frowning at his abs. "They're getting less defined." He said, prodding the upper-left of the now shallow six. "They're so small...I need to start working out again soon." Deciding he was properly cleaned off after a few minutes, Koji exited and hastily put on his trunks, thankful to escape the looming and awkward feeling of public nakedness. Sighing, he pushed open the door to the lockers and entered the pool area. Seeing Ryra talking to a woman made of water in the pool and Triska, now clad in her own bathing suit, walking to another apparition in the rafters, Koji was stricken silent for a moment. 'You think I'd get used to it.' He thought to himself.

Ryra looks up and says, "And you are.....?"

Aerious frowns at all the beings and, with a small poof of air, disappears from everyone's view.
The fox girl shakes her head but her ears pick up the sound of someone entering the pool area. Her face already blushing due to the heat of the jacuzzi, considering she is a snow fox, she turns her face to find Koji standing there. He might not be the cutest of all humans but...
Leaning on the side of the jacuzzi, she says, "So you decided to join us in this room, eh, Koji?"

"Sure, it's better than freezing or being forced to wear three layers just to be comfortable." Koji said, shrugging. "What's a snow fox doing in hot water, anyway?" He stood before the heated pool and peered into it. 'How deep is this? Can I dive...?' He wondered inwardly, as his wandering mind was wont to do.

Aquaria notices that the elf had looked up to where Aerious was but, glancing over, she understands that he has left.
She laughs and says, "That's Aerious. He's rather inpatient and doesn't like having many people around him. That's why he's here at this resort and not in the cities, especially since they'd be places where they would pollute him and kill him."

Triska notices him standing near the pool.
"It's about twenty feet, if you were wondering. ...the numbers at your feet even say that," she says before responding, "What's a snow fox doing in hot water? Well, why's a human wanting to jump into a hot pool? ...same difference. I just warm up quicker than humans do, considering my genetic structure."
She gets out of the jacuzzi and sits on the side of it, "Any more questions I can answer you, curious human?"

"Because you asked? What's the atomic number of selenium?" Koji jested, and jumped out over the pool. He straightened his body in mid-flight and entered the pool feet-first. The heat was a shock at first, but as his descend slowed his skin's temperature began to match that of the water. 'Hm...haven't swam in years.' Koji once again thought in his own mind, and began kicking to the surface. As his head broke the surface of the water, he shook his now-sopping bangs out of his eyes.

Triska waited for him to rise to the surface, twisting her hair in her hands to get the water out of it, and says, once he does, "Who gives a care? ... I mean, you could look that up in the library later if you wanted to."

"I try to be sarcastic and you mess it up." Koji let out a heavy, fake sigh. "I never get to have any fun anymore." Laughing, he turned to swim and realized; while he would tread water, he had forgotten how to swim. Trying to play it off, he dove again.

Splash.
Ryra dives into the pool and swims a lap before coming to a stop at the side of the pool closest to them. She says to the water spirit," Aren't they a cute couple?"

Triska shakes her head, rolling her eyes.
-He's soooo weird,- she thinks, standing up and walking over to sit between the warm and the cold pools (there being about seven feet between the two).
--- Aquaria dives under water and appears (a second later) at the side of the elf girl. She is completely immersed in the water up to her eyes so she sings something in the water that only spirits and elves can hear:
"They are. But I wonder if he's good enough for her."

"If she was fully human, which would be odd because humans are not that smart," she says in a whisper so that the other two could not over hear, "Or him an anthro, which which would be odd because he doesn't seem to fit the role, then maybe they'd have a chance."

Letting his reflexes work for themselves, Koji began to kick both legs rhythmically behind him, propelling himself forward. 'I had nothing to worry about.' Koji reassured himself. After moving a distance he knew couldn't have been far in this huge pool, he resurfaced. He noticed Triska now sitting in between the two larger pools, and Ryra was gone, he assumed underwater somewhere. Secretly, he was waiting for some other non-human thing to pop up randomly.
