Hadrian looked something like a deer caught in headlights.
Yeah, Charlot totally knew....
...and he was being a total douchebag about it.
"Couldn't. Care. Less," Hadrian said and arched an eyebrow, still staring. Sure, it was rude, but he was asking for it, god damn it all.

"Ah." Charlot shrugged. He didn't have a preference for water. Mainly 'clean' or... somewhat close to that effect. After hearing his answer he dove into the water, dissapearing beneath it for a bit.
He thought he had a good ten-twenty minutes before the rain came.

Hadrian knew that he should probably just get up and walk away.
The key word being "probably".
He started off watching the fish...and then Charlot...fish again...Charlot again.
The fish near Charlot's pant leg.
The fish starting to look like it planned to go up Charlot's pant leg...
He laughed and clapped a hand over his mouth.

Charlot was having a good ol' time just swimming around. London had some nice water, but not much of it was open to public swimming. The fancy folk tended to frown on people just jumping into thier fountains and water ways.
He felt something tickling at his foot and spun around underwater, peering curiously at the fish. Annoying little buggers, he thought to himself. He was about to go back to his business when he felt one begin to make it's way up his pantleg.
o_O!....
He swam up to the surface, expression... 'interesting' to say the least. "Er.. 'ow d'you get the fish... t'go away?"

Hadrian was now having a bit of an issue speaking, seeing as to how he couldn't stop laughing. He crawled to the bak to examine Charlot's face.
"Take 'em off or fish it out," he was finally able to choke after a while, "No...no pun intended." He snickered, laughed, and immediately felt bad enough to clap a hand over his mouth and stifle it.

"Oi think it'd be a bit useless fishin' a fish outta me pants," Charlot replied. Not to mention the pants were protecting him FROM the fish, taking them off would be suicide.
He swam to the bank, climbing out and to the edge to stand up. Once he'd gotten a few steps from the water, he shook his hip a little.. feeling the fish ooze back down his leg to his foot. It sat there flopping about a little as Charlot glanced up through his wet hair with a smirk toward Hadrian.
"This guy be a'friend o'yours?"

Hadrian watched the display in utter giddy amusement and clapped a few times. When the fish hit the ground, he picked it up carefully and scrutinized it.
"This may or may not be the little b*****d that tried to swim up my nose," he said and flicked the poor animal back into the water.
"I think he likes you."

"Aye, the litt'l b*****d was in me pants.. I'm well aware of jus 'ow much 'e likes me." He glanced toward the water, eyebrow raised. "Tricksey fish."
He lifted a hand up as he felt a raindrop, scowling. "Well, no use dryin th'shirt, eh?" XD...

Hadrian looked up, decided that was a bad idea, and smirked.
"Yeah, I guess not," he laughed slightly and patted himself down, "No umbrella. Sorry" He, personally had absolutely no aversion to the rain.
For obvious reasons.

Charlot snorted at that, tucking his hands into his pockets as he gazed back toward the lake. It was starting to actually rain now and it looked pretty dotting across the surface of the water. He wondered if the circus did anything for raining conditions or if they just closed.
"D'ya know when they're going t'start your show?" His eyes flicked back to Hadrian, curious. "Oi 'aven't 'eard of any shows scheduled fo'this place, so's Oi figure it'll be in th'next town."

"I know just about as much as you," Hadrian shrugged, "Maybe even less. I'm just gonna...roll with it." He shuddered involuntarily as a raindrop hit the back of his neck.
He added then, as an afterthought, "I still need a tank."

"D'ya find a mentor yet? Perhaps they'd know where one was you could start practicing in. Not every place is gonna 'ave a lake."
He shrugged, moving toward the tree that had his shirt hanging from it.

"Yeah, I did," he nodded, "She kind of...ah...scampered away, though. I'll be sure to ask her next time." He shrugged.
"The lake's only for practicing. I'm not letting those goddamned fish anywhere near me half-naked. Anyway, there's not much practicing to do. Just a break from my...ah...budding social life."

Charlot glanced at him, grinning widely as he slipped into his shirt. It was still damp, so he left it open in hopes that it would dry easier once he got out of the rain again.
"Budding social life, eh? Y'been makin' friends while oi wasn't lookin?" He stepped forward, eyebrow lifting slightly. "Or was tha a'bit o'sacrasm?"

Hadrian stared for a moment, but forced himself to look back to Charlot's face.
"Yeah," he laughed, "That'd be sarcasm. You're my only friend." He bowed low adn laughed again, shaking his head.
If only.
