"A break it is," said Chance grandly. "Thank you, teacher."
But he wasn't about to leave with about a bit of mischief, so he stepped forward, a glint in his eyes and -
- with a heave, he sent a reasonably sized wave of water towards Otto.

Oh. Is that how it was going to be? Acting offended, Otto splashed him right back.

Chance got a face full of water thanks Otto.
Gasping and sputtering, he shook his head vigorously, spraying droplets everywhere, and grinned at Otto, eyes glinting with mischief. "That was thanks for your lesson," he deadpanned, cascading more water in waves over to him.
"And this is just because I can."

"That's the weirdest thank you I ever got." Otto laughed, sending another wave at Chance. He'd have tackled the man into the water for funner rough housing, but thought better of it. Chance didn't know how to swim, after all. Actually, now that he thought about it. "After this, you better practice holding your breath under water."

"Oh come on, I'm sure you've gotten weirder thanks before," said Chance laughing as he raked both hands through his hair to get it out of his eyes, a grin on his face.
The innuendo was out of his mouth before he could stop it.
"I think I'm probably good at holding my breath," said Chance, and then immediately snapped his mouth shut and put a hand to his face, shaking his head as a wince of exasperation crossed his expression.
"Sorry, sorry, bad joke."

The jokes nearly went over Otto's head, until Chance apologized for them. Should he be creeped out, laugh, or ignore it? He laughed. He didn't know what to say, so he just laughed.

He rubbed at his face, and the exasperated expression behind it, because normally he was good at this sort of thing; gauging when best to make remarks, when to make jokes, and Otto was one of those people that, while strong in some ways, was very tentative when it came to other ways. And so far Chance had done well in not pressing anything to make him uncomfortable.
"All right, all right, I need to make amends for that," he said with a sigh and a smile, finally lowering his hand and wading over to the edge of the pool. He leaned against it without getting out, and reached to pat Otto's shoulder. "Your first cooking lesson can be a dessert."

"Dude, really? Like.. pudding?" Otto asked with wide eyes.

"You want pudding?" Chance asked, turning to look at him and sounding faintly amused. "Sure, we can start with that. Pudding is really simple, all it takes is tossing some ingredients into a bowl and mixing them all up. Very straightforward, at least the kind I know how to make."

"Sweet." Otto was excited for pudding. Pudding with whipped cream and chocolate shavings, even. Or a cherry on top. Sweets were the life blood of Otto. Man, now he was really hungry.

"Literally," said Chance with a laugh, as he hauled himself out of the pool. He was very relieved to note no awkwardness between them; that his silly joke had not cost him anything, at least not visibly.
He stretched out a hand to help Otto up.
"Let's go get changed and have ourselves some dessert," Chance said decidedly with a wink.

"Sounds good to me." Otto grinned, taking his hand and getting out of the pool with his help.

Chance grinned, shaking his head again and spraying water at Otto in the process. But he took his towel and threw it over his shoulder, plucking up the rest of his things and beginning the walk back up to the dormitory.
"We'll have to stop by my room first, if you don't mind, just so I can find dry pants," said Chance, squinting at his water logged shorts and the trail they were most likely leaving. "In retrospect, I should have brought a change of clothes with me, but alas..."

Otto made a face and winced as water sprayed off of Chance's mop of curly hair. "That's fine." Otto agreed, ruffling his wet hair with his own towel. He let the towel hang off his head for the majority of the walk. "At worst we'll turn the halls of Deus into a slip n' slide."

"I was going to ask what that was," said Chance, pushing open a door and starting down a hallway. "But I think I can probably guess."
Once they were back in the trainee hallway, Chance led the two of them down to his room at the far end, idly rubbing at his damp curls with the corner of his towel. He pushed open his door (unlocked, as usual), and left it open for Otto to decide whether to come in or not.
"I'll be ready in just a second," Chance said, head already disappearing into his closet to look for clothes.
