"Yeah. That's what this post is for. To monitor those." Claude's eyes left the distance shadows to instead focus on the vibrant sea life right in front of them. Like the schools of fish and manta ray. She watched them go by for a few moments, because they were rather memorizing, and then finally broke away to turn and claim one of the cushier chairs. The trainee flopped down into it, letting her tall frame sink. She hadn't been that worn out from a spar since she got to Deus. "...If you're ever on the beach, you can see the tentacles from the shore sometimes, too." She added. "Something to keep in mind."

He made a face. "From here, they look kind of like shapeless blobs, but I'll take your word for it that up close they are somewhat less than pleasant. I don't think I'm looking too forward to actually seeing one of them."
Claude had already taken one of the chairs, and Chance flopped into the one next to her, raking a hand through his head of messy curls.
"Sounds kinky," he said jokingly, an amused look on his face as he leaned forward, resting an elbow on his knee and settling his chin in his hand. "Though I was never into that sort of s**t. Wait, do the tentacles belong to the titans? Because that makes them even less appealing."

"I haven't see any close myself." Claude replied. "But enough to know..." She snorted. "Good thing you're not a Japanese school girl, Chance." She murmured, before moving on from that crack. "Yes, they do belong to the titans... I learned that when I was on one of the beaches...from a Hunter who was sun tanning on said beach." Fearless, that one. Something Claude admired. She turned her head until it was resting on the arm of the chair, and peered over at the trainee next to her. "Best duty so far?" She asked curiously in regards to this post.

He gave her a sidelong glance that was hardly more than a raised eyebrow and a dubious expression. "Well, I'm some sort of Asian, as far as I know," said Chance with a little snort, gesturing at his face and in turn, his eyes, which were slightly slanted at the corners. "My mother dated a lot of guys, so maybe I could be a Japanese schoolgirl and not even realize it."
He grinned at Claude and tugged at a lock of hair.
"So far, definitely more interesting than a lot of duty shifts I've held."

Claude snorted softly. She had noticed that Chance had some sort of Asian influence...but she wasn't about to assume what kind possibly. "Better safe than sorry." She gave him a solemn nod. "Don't wear any skirts to the beach." A pause. "I know this puts a damper on a lot of your plans." She told him seriously. She smirked a bit. "The most relaxing too, I suppose." Because there really wasn't anything to do...aside from looking out the window, monitoring the equipment, and then...whatever the person brought. She did not bring anything though. Claude's eyes drifted back towards the window, getting caught up momentarily in the fish swimming by once more as she lapsed into silence. She kept thinking about the spar, and in turn the favor. She had remind herself that now she had two things to watch out for in regards to Chance. The favor, and then something about tears. Well...maybe there was one more thing too... Claude broke the silence with a question, her tone softer than usual. "Do you ever worry?"

He laughed. "Okay, fine, if you insist. I'll save the skirts for dinner," Chance deadpanned. "And maybe some other special occasions, you know. Can't be too careful."
Claude had lapsed into silence, staring at the fish around them, and in turn Chance let his gaze meander about the room. Every once in a while, his eyes would land on an interesting fish, or something else swimming by, and he'd let out an appreciative hum. After a moment, however, he looked sideways at Claude again, trying to figure out what exactly she was thinking.
Her question - and the tone of voice - caught him off guard. Chance lifted his brows.
"No," he said truthfully, one shoulder rising and falling in a shrug. "Not really. Or at least, I try not to. I've never really seen the point of worrying. I kind of prefer to just...do what it is that I want to do."
His eyes slid sideways towards her, expression contemplative.
"Why? Worried about something?"

"Of course you don't." She murmured, more to herself, staring off at nothing in particular before she tuned her attention back to the man next to her. His question seemed to amuse her, as her lips quirked up briefly, in something of a very small smile before it faded. "No. There's nothing to worry about right now." There was another pause, and she couldn't help but also ask: "Not even any concerns as to what may happen...?"

He gave a small hum, watching a little yellow fish flit from side to side. After a moment he turned his head to look at her, eyebrows drawing together as he tried to figure out what she was talking about.
"Wh..oh, do you mean the thing I said earlier?" Chance asked, and quirked a small smile. "It was just an offer, Claude. I figured it wasn't that big of a deal, you know?"
He shrugged a shoulder, looking forward again. "It's just something that feels good. You're gorgeous, you're funny, you're sarcastic and smart. I like hanging with you, and I figured why not? If it feels good for the both of us, I don't see why it would be a problem."
Chance slid his fingers along his jawline and then offered Claude what was clearly meant to be a gentler smile.
"It's not meant to offend, by the way," he said. "Just for the record. If you think I'm being...well, open, or slutty, or whatever else people say these days, then I'd get it, really. Either way, you're still a cool person."

She chuckled softly, but didn't say anything until she heard him out. She gave a small shake of her head. "No, I agree with you. It shouldn't be a big deal." She murmured, and sat up straighter. Claude propped her elbow on the arm of the chair, and tilted her head to look at him. "And if this was anywhere but here, I would have taken you up on that offer...no, there wouldn't even have been an offer, because I would have moved on you within moments of meeting you." For all the reasons he listed for her, applied to him as well. She raised a hand. "No offense taken, and I don't find you to be any of those things at all, because that's not my concern."

He listened to her with a certain amount of curiosity, but also with a mixture of confusion; emotions were strange and mysterious things, and he wasn't entirely sure he actually understood them well enough to experience them the way they were supposed to be experienced.
Maybe he'd been right about that whole thing about being broken.
"Good to know that I hold at least some appeal," said Chance with a laugh. He fixed Claude with a look of mild interest. "But what exactly is your concern, then, if it's not that?"

Claude gave an incredulous snort. "Not just some." She murmured as she stared back at him, incredibly pensive. What was her concern indeed... She didn't believe in friends with benefits. It didn't matter what the intentions were. It didn't matter if both parties would try their hardest and intend not to get attached in some fashion, none of it mattered. Something would spring up and it'd ******** everything up, so the rational conclusion was to not even tempt it in the first place. Not that she'd know, because she never been in a situation like that before. It was something she believed, yet--at this point, the trainee's eyes seemed distant as she was contemplating--there was another thought. That maybe she was over thinking this. She had lost some of her edge since waking up on Deus, and she needed to get it back. Sex was sex, regardless who it was from, and maybe she did just needed to get laid. It'd been a very long time. Yet there was a small nagging feeling... Realizing she had lapsed into too long of a silence, Claude's eyes focused back on Chance. Her hand came up and she rested her chin on her knuckles. "My concern is what if you suck in bed." No, the real concern was something she didn't feel comfortable in voicing to him at this point in time. She clucked her tongue.

Chance blinked, for once a little taken aback. The idea of actually having enough "appeal" to make Claude this contemplative was surprising; he hadn't given it as much thought as she had, but the expression she was giving him now was very serious, more serious than he'd seen on her face before.
Maybe he'd offended her, or maybe he'd said something that was making her regret getting to know him, though he couldn't think of what. Either way, Chance leaned back in his chair, easing back and crossing one leg over the other. Claude had lapsed into a long silence, and in the time it took her to think things over, Chance was observing her with a certain amount of stoic thought himself.
Her comment, however, made a small smile flit across his face, his lips twitching as though he was trying to hide it.
"I do, sometimes," he said, amusement laced into his voice. "Depending on what my partner wants."

Today could be accurately described as one of those days where she should have quit while she was ahead. Chance was just one uping her their entire time together today. She stared at him, and then turned to look away from him, letting out a soft peal of laughter. "You're good, Chance." She admitted, amused. " Too good." She rested her head back in her hand. "I think I just need to stop talking, lest you continue to come out on top." Her eyes lidded. "Confident in your abilities, hm?"

He grinned, his eyes twinkling mischievously.
"I do like to top sometimes," Chance said mildly, because he was Chance and he couldn't help himself. "Depending on who I'm with. But rather than a sense of confidence, I think it's more I just know what I like and I know what I'm capable of."
He ran a hand through his hair and smiled. "I take this as a no, then?"

Walked into another one. Damn it. She could only smirk lightly at that, and her fingers briefly drummed on her cheek. There it was again. The question. Don't tempt it, said a side, and ******** it said another, quite literally. Nothing's going to change. It's fine. She was over thinking it. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't curious and attracted, and would regret turning it down when it was, more than once, so nicely offered on a platter. "Alright, Chance." She stopping tapping her fingers on her cheek as her lips quirked up. "Dazzle me."
