Anysi followed Zhuke, trailing along only a little ways behind him. Once he had stopped, she did also, sitting down on the sand next to him. Her eyes scanned the ocean, and a slight frown could be noticed on her lips. It was hard for her to be in such a clam place, she was always surrounded by chaos. To simple sit there and listen to the waves rolling into the shore was an alien idea to her. However, even though her surroundings were so calm her mind was still incredibly busy. All she could think of was the fighting and the pain, there was no peace or love within her.
"It's too peaceful."

"Gotta love it." he replied, laying down on his back. "Enjoy it while you can. Since you're still with your job, you never know when you'll have another chance like this." he added, staring into the starry lit night sky.

"Well, I don't feel clam. So this isn't even making a difference." Anysi pointed out to Zhuke, the irritated look still on her face.

"That's because you're thinking about something violent probably." he replied, still staring into the night sky. "Think of childhood memories, and in your mind, re-live those experiences..." he said, starting to get lost in his own thoughts.

"Childhood memories make me far from happy." Anysi replied, her tone changing from irritated to sad. It wasn't that her childhood was depressing. Oh no, it was far from that. It was merely what her childhood home had become. Just after going to the Alliance, the leader had decided to destroy her island home, killing all inhabitants. The island was then turned into an Alliance headquater, though Anysi never visited it. She could never bring herself to do such a thing.
"I can't go back there in my memories..." She then added, looking out towards the ocean, knowing that her home was in the distance. "I want to, but I won't be able to until I actually go back to my island."
Her words stopped, she didn't want to say anymore. What was it with her? She was opening up far too much than she should to Zhuke. What was so special about him? It merely didn't make sense in her mind. However, getting so close to him was beginning to make her worrisome. She knew that the Alliance would frown on the fact that she was becoming so close with him. In the end she would probably get punished, but the odd thing was she didn't even care. She didn't mind that he would be the reason she would endure pain. It just didn't matter to her. He was her friend. He actually cared. Well, at least it seemed like he did.
Without saying a word, she reached down to her feet and began to take off her shoes, then she proceeded to removing her socks and leaving them bundled on the ground next to her, along with the gloves she had on her arms.
Smiling, she then looked at him, trying to push the thoughts of the Alliance out of her mind. "C'mon let's get in the water!" She announced, jumping to her feet.

Zhuke looked at her with a surprised expression on his face. Was she serious? She seems like a whole different person now... he was sure there was more to it about her than her job and killing, but he didn't know this much.
"I dunno, even though I was a mercenary going through some routines as a Navy Seal, I still swim like a rock." he replied, rubbing the back of his head.
("You can't go back to your memories... what did she mean...?")

Anysi frowned, glaring at him for a moment, with her arms crossed. How was she supposed to convince him to get into the water. Guilt wouldn't work on him, and there was no possible way she could force him into the water since he was physically stronger than him. So, she knew she would have to flat out tell the truth.
"If I tell you why I want to go swimming will you get in?"

Zhuke thought about it for a moment. He was in fact a little curious about her.
"Deal. Spill it." he replied simply.

Anysi nodded, turning away from him so that her eyes were fixed on the ocean. "I lived on an island during my childhood." She began to explain, trying to keep any hint of sadness out of her voice. "I used to love the ocean. Everyday I would go there with all my friends, and we would play all sorts of games at the beach. It was perfect. But I got kidnapped one day while I just being a kid and playing. From there I was taken into the Alliance. Later I found out the Alliance had gone and destroyed the island and killed all of it's inhabitants, making it a new Alliance headquarters."
It was then that her tone changed a bit. For it went from a more matter-of-fact sort of tone to a sad yet oddly hopeful way of speaking. "I haven't been in an ocean since then. I always feared that it would be too much like home. But now, I want to get in the ocean. I want to be that little kid again."

While Anysi told Zhuke, he stood up and walked over to her. When she finished, he smiled.
"Then let's start here." he replied.
Zhuke picked her up, an arm under her legs and another behind her back. He walked against the waves, dropping her where the water rose about three feet. He didn't bother changing, he was used to getting in the water with his clothes on.

Getting to her feet, Anysi glared at Zhuke for doing such a thing. "I-I'm going to k-kill you." She snapped at him, shivering as she did so. "Oh my gosh this water is so damn cold!" She then adding, still shivering. She looked rather pathetic actually. She was always the type to look dressed up and elegant, but at that moment she was far from that with her long curls drenched in water along with her attire.

As she stood up, he pushed her over again into the water. Zhuke couldn't help but laugh. His eyes started to tear and he gasped heavily for air. Suddenly, he lost his balance as a wave hit him, making him fall over.

Anysi, steadying herself for the second time, looked over towards Zhuke a satisfied smile appearing on her face. She laughed a bit, finding how he looked at that moment rather humorous. However, her thoughts still weren't filled with joy at that moment. All she could think about was he past, and her past was far from a happy thought. Even though her memories of the beach were filled with joy and laughter, the fact that she was lacking her true friends simply made the beach depressing. Sure, Zhuke had become her friend, but it wasn't the type she had desired. He was simply coaxing her through her sadness, that was it.
Hugging herself in attempt to feel some sort of warmth she knew wasn't there, her expression faded from a smile to a serene look.

Zhuke brought his head out of the water and shook it off. He had a blank expression on his face. Suddenly, he bursted out laughing. "This... is really cold!!" he said in a raised voice, still laughing. He looked over to Anysi, noticing a sort of relaxing presence in her. Shortly after, he noticed how cold she was.
"You know, for someone with a cold heart, it sure is ironic to see you shivering just from cold water." he commented, smiling while wiping water off his cheek with his forehand.
He slowly made his way over to Anysi through the pushing waves. When he finally reached her, he embraced her.
"If you lose body temperature, you could get a cold or hypothermia." he noted, just so she wouldn't get the wrong idea.

"Thanks I really appreciate it, Mr. I-only-hug-people-so-they-won't -get-hypothermia." Anysi said both sarcastically and teasingly a smile reappearing on her lips, considering she was actually enjoying the embrace.
