"Now 'ow's tha'." Alec smirked as he watched Natsumi show off her feet lined with a weird looking webbing. She definetly looked like somesort of fish. Maybe that was what her strange tail was all about?
"Oh... ye swim? Then..." It was becoming clear that Natsumi had truly thrown him for a loop, the punk teen looking on with a much more confused expression now in comparison. Her avoidance and plain fogginess of the subject at hand didn't help either, though admittedly it wasn't always that difficult to confuse the poor guy.

Natsumi eyed the webbing a moment before setting her foot back on the cooling sand. Wondering once again what sort of reptile could possibly have webbing... She was a reptile of some sort right? Thats what the scales meant... And fish scales were much slicker, weren't they? Hers were more like a very soft leather... Then again, being a fish would explain her cravings for water.
"Hm? Oh.. Yes, I liked it alot... But I can't now..." she trailed off, flinching some, suddenlly realizing where she had lead herself. She had jsut.. what was the phrase they said? Oh yes... Put herself between a rocky place and a rock, wasn't it? Or was it something else? Stiff place.. Hard place. Yes, hard place. Though the phrase didn't matter now... She needed a distraction. "Aa." she chirped, mentally thanking nature for her newest excape route. "The sun it is almost gone." She pointed as a last sliver of light seemed to be slipping away.

Alec took th ebait and stared off at the retreating source of light just as Natsumi mentioned it. He didn't mind the nighttime, especially when at the beach. The moon had a beautiful habit of glistening off the water's surface sometimes.
"Ye... a' c'n see shite n' th'dawk." The punk teen muttered abruptly, destroying the moment whether intentionally or not. A cool breeze rushed over the surface of the vast waterinfront of them and hit his skin that was still partially damp, causing a chill to run down his spine. Not wanting to catch any sort of jungle bug, he turned to Natsumi.
"Wanna 'ead back?"

Natsumi watched quietly, only mentally giving a sigh of releif as the subject was averted. The sliver seemed to slip away rather quickly, leaving only the small shimmer of moonlight on the water and a small glow on the horizon. It was rather peaceful... Natsumi had been finding herself more and more attracted to the night time the longer she had been here, and this was no different.
Natsumi blinked as the moment was shattered, glancing over at the dim figure of Alec, then giing a soft giggle. "I can not either." She had never really thought he'd be able to see in the dark, not many could...
She felt the breeze too, though it wasn't as bad since she had her sweater her shorter skirt was giving way to chilly and uncomfortable legs. "Yes." she smiled, pushing herself to her feet then waiting for him to lead the way, too used to following others to do much else.

Even though Alec got up from his spot in preparation to leave the beachside view behind, the chilly breeze still caused him to shiver once again.
"Ye lucky wi' tha'." He snickered, motioning to her choice of attire as he waited for her to come along. Who the heck wore that kind of clothing when the sun was high in the sky on a tropical island, anyways? The thought pretty much hit him only then. "'ey... don' ye ge' hot durin' th'day wi' tha' top o' yours?" He hadn't wanted to direct the attention to her fashion sense but the absurdity of it was a little hard to ignore after awhile.

Natsumi blinked, looking down at her sweater as though she wasn't sure for a moment what he was talking about. "Hot?" She blinked, she couldn't just lie... But she felt as though she knew where this would be going. It had been one of the first things Nita had questioned afterall. "Yes, it does get hot." she admitted, trying to avoid eye contact, only to lead her eyes to his bare chest. Though it was kinda dark and hard to see she was still able to figure out it was lacking a shirt. Her cheeks tinted red some having noticed this, quickly looking back to his face. "Are you not cold?" Aha, yes, wonderful subject change.

Alec grinned, showing much of his fangs. He may be a little slow on the uptake on chocie occasions but he knew when someone was avoiding a subject, especially after how thorough she'd been with previous inquiries. This of course amused him, and he was beginning to feel a might bit playful.
"Fookin freezin'." He chuckled and made an effort to fall into exact stride next to Natsumi. "Spare a' sweateh?"

"Eh? But..." she stumbled for a sentance, hit with about 50 thoughts at once. She didn't want him to be cold... That just wouldn't be good at all. But then he couldn't see her stomach... Wait, there would be more showing than that if she gave up said article of clothing. Which only caused her previous blush to increase. "But I.. I do not have anything under it." She frowned, still wanting to find a way to get him warm... She hated to see her friend freezing, afterall.

Alec could only laugh, bemused by Natsumi's innocent paths of thought. At least she got what he was hinting at, he could tell by the colour in her cheeks.
"Ahh, joost kiddin." The teen smirked again and nudged Natsumi's shoulder as they walked, trying to hold in another shiver from the cooler air. He wouldn't be able to stand it if his pointy teeth began to chatter. "Honestleh though, why th'sweateh?"
Maybe she thought she was fat. Oh great, another girl with self-esteem issues.

Natsumi gave a half hearted laugh when he nudged her, still a bit too flustered to fully laugh. Though.. part of it was nice, another obviously teen to hang around with. Like back in her own highschool, when her friends or old boyfriend would tease her just to see her blush. It made her feel at home in a wierd way.
"N..No reason." she covered poorly, frowning at the obviously cold guy. Hm.. what to do... "Uhm..." she chewed her lower lip, blushing furiously as she put an arm around his waist, unable to reach much else, and carefulyl trying to keep ehr stomach from touching him. It was a much bolder move than she ever would have liked to have done... But he was freezing, and she was rather warm... She couldn't just stand by. "Sorry..." she squeaked, biting into her lip again nerviously. "But.." she trailed off, unsure as to where she was going with that sentance.

Alec continued snickering along up until the point when Natsumi slinked an arm around him, catching him off-guard in every way possible. Although he tended to 'play around' and flirt a lot, he usually ended up being ignored or beaten off, never expecting an actual response. That, along with his awkwardness towards the opposite gender was a testament to his immaturity.
He almost shut right up when she pressed close. "Thanks." He managed to gulp though he thought it a bit odd the way she was positioning herself.

Natsumi held strong, though every part of her brain told her to back off and that she was completely flirting with him, the other side tried to be logical and tell her she was an adult now... One that could calmly keep her friend warm without such immature thoughts.
Still, her heart was trying to beat faster... No matter how much her brain tried to tell her she was an adult, the closeness was getting to her.
"J-Just.. to keep warm... Yes?" she stuttered, giving a nervious laugh behind it that died out all too quickly. "I can.. give you something at my Duplex..." That would work... Right? Then again.. inviting him up to her room while clinging on him only made her face a brighter shade of red. "A towel." she quikly added in.

Alec kept silent, feeling as awkward as ever despite each of their best efforts. For lack of any other sufficient answer, he nodded in agreement to her idea. "...Ekay." He simply answered and kept walking, somewhat grateful for the darkness of the jungle. It helped obscure their discomfort a bit.
"Watch ye step." We warned quietly in an attempt to break the awkward silence.

"Mn..." she nodded to his warning, only feeling more and more awkward since he had ceased most conversation, teasing and the like... She hoped she wasn't making him uncomfortable... Well, it was obvious she was.. but.. not too uncomfortable, right?
"It is right here..." with that, she slipped away, assuming he could survive from there to her Duplex, because neither of them were going to survive the rest of the way like that.
Atleast she hoped that was it, the dark made it a bit harder to tell... But as she approached the building she smiled, yep. It was hers. "I am up the stairs." She pointed to them, before moving up ahead of him, placing anything she could think of on her mind to try and rid her flushed face as she got to her door and opened it for them. Ofcourse the thought of him in her room ontop of that only made whatever blush she had managed to rid come right back.

Alec gave a short sigh of relief when Natsumi let go and dashed off ahead of him, giving him time to readjust and calm himself before he'd have to face her again. It wasn't that he had no attraction to her whatsoever despite her formalities and strange manners, but it wasn't like he was about to allow himself to get into any sort of weird situation that would result in something a little not-right.
"Ekay." He responded again in the same manner, following her up the stairs to her place in slow, deliberate steps. He'd wait shyly by the door unti he was sure she wanted him to come in. After all, he was still dripping wet a bit and... this was a girl's room.
