He smirked. "I doubt that." He chuckled and said, "I have an array of bathing suits you can choose from. They're to the right of the shower rooms where you can get clean." He lead her through a long hallway that ended with them coming directly to the pool. He pointed towards the showers for her.

"You just have bathing suits laying around for servant girls?" she asked playfully. "I should say that surprises me but, truly, it does not."
Andromeda offered him a playful wink before walking over to the place that the bathing suits were. She picked out a simple orange wrap one piece and then headed over to the shower. It had been a long, long while since she felt a hot shower and it was amazing. Long after the dirty had been washed away from her skin, she stayed beneath the hot spray.
Sighing, she turned off the water and let it drip from her body enough to put the bathing suit on. It was a little tight around her breasts but that was fine. No one would be paying attention to those anyway.
She slipped from the shower and walked towards the pool.

Nathaniel's clothes were thrown on a chair nearby, and he wore his black shorts. He looked up and grinned. "Orange suits you." It would be a lie if he said he didn't check her out as she walked to the pool, but of course, he made sure not to stare too long. Before he dived in he asked, "You do know how to swim right?"

"I know how to doggie paddle," she told him through a sheepish grin. "I don't swim much but when I do its against a current from the river. This should not be a problem for me."
She wasn't a strong swimmer but in a pool with no great force, it wouldn't be that hard. Unlike him, however, she lowered herself in very carefully. The water was warm and she wondered if they had a heater located in the pool. It would not surprise her in the least if they did.

Hearing her talk about the currents he nodded, "This shouldn't be too tough for you." He walked over to the deeper end of the pool, and dived into the water. He wasn't a beautiful swimmer or anything, but he was good. His strokes were strong, and you could tell that you knew what he was doing. He dived under the water, seeming to disappear for a while.

Andromeda's body was strong. Her technique, of course, was flawed but she move decently the water with her doggy paddle. All of the years of hard work had given her strength in her arms and legs. She smiled and took the time to do a small circle in the pool. Even with her power, the way she was swimming really didn't get people too far.
"Prince... prince..?" she trailed off. Where had he gotten to?

He swam right under her, grabbed her ankles and gave her quick tug. She wouldn't fall too much into the water, for he grabbed her waist before she could. He popped out of the water and chuckled. "I told you not to call me Prince, or Sire or whatever else. What're you supposed to call me?" He asked, leaning in closer to her.

She yelped loudly as the redheaded royal pulled her downward enough to catch her by the waist. Her heart raced a million miles a second. Andromeda didn't do well with being startled and she trembled in his arms, embarrassed at her childish reaction.
"Nathaniel," she said in a squeak. She swallowed harshly and took in a breath to steady herself. "You have a thing for sneaking up on poor, defenseless girls like that?"

"Of course." He said with a smirk, leaning his hands on the sides of the pool, trapping her in. He leaned in closer to her, his face merely a centimeter or so away from hers and he said softly. "Why? Did that scare you?" The gleam in his eyes gave him a menacingly sly look. Staying where he was he smirked and said, "I was wrong. Your attempts at swimming was no where as good as I thought it'd be. I'm a Prince honey, I have high expectations. So, I'm going to teach you."

The closeness sent her head reeling. His hands on approach was a little too familiar for her liking. Still she kept her mouth shut. Surely he did not intend anything by this. This was just how he was. Her eyes moved to the sparkling water encasing them. When he was in the same space as she and looking at her with the devil in his eye she could not meet his gaze.
"Singing, horseback riding, and now swimming?" she asked. "You have a lot of things to teach me."

He smirked not moving from his spot. "Do you not wish to be taught? There are so many maids that would be honoured if I taught them anything really." He decided to push it a bit and leaned closer towards her ear and whispered, "Plus, I want a wife that can do it all." The statement could either be taken completely seriously, or it could be waved off at around one of his pick-up lines. He wasn't quite sure what it was really.
With that he fell to his back, and swam backwards a bit. He stopped halfway into the pool and then looked at her. "Swim to me." He instructed her. He wanted to see her swim first, before teaching her anything.

A wife?! Now who exactly was he kidding with that one? A peasant could not, in a million years, marry a prince. Her cheeks flushed at the idea. She remembered a story from when she was young about a little cinder girl who was so beautiful that she captured the heart of a king. But her mother told her that it was fantasy and, really, there would be no prince charming; hard work and dedication would be the thing to see you through any hardship.
Still Andromeda couldn't help but toy around with the idea. Could someone like her possibly dream of being a princess?
She was grateful for the space as he swam away and, when he called her over, she obeyed with a little hesitation. While she was nervous with his close proximity, she could not help but enjoy the attention.
"Of course I don't want you to stop teaching me... but not because I think you're serious about the wife thing. I just want to grow out of my role as a servant."

He smirked. Seeing her reaction to him even implying marrying her seemed to embarrass her quite a bit. What would she do if he started to call her "wifey"? He snickered at the thought. He had to try it. As she came to him he watched her swim. She wasn't that bad, and he was sure she'd be able to pick it up easily. "What exactly do you want to be, if not a servant?"
He swam around her and softly added in, "..wifey." He ran a hand through his wet hair, and pushed it out of his eyes. He should really get his hair cut. It was all over the place now.

When he called her wifey, she let out a shrill noise and splashed water towards him and then hid her face. Was he trying to make her completely and utterly embarrassed? Her cheeks turned red with her emotion and she shook her head almost violently.
"Oh, no, no, no, no!" she exclaimed boldly. Her hands flapped about, sending more water splashing upwards. "I would never dream of marrying so above my class. My hope is that someday I'll be a florist for the kingdom. Not a servant who, by working is permitted to live within the walls of the castle, but a woman who is providing for herself!"

He laughed and moved away bit to avoid the water she splashed towards him. My, what an effect that one word had on her. He smirked as he watched hide her face. "How cute.." He muttered under his breath with a smirk. He swam closer to her and watched her flapping her hands.
He pouted slightly as he approached her. "Are you saying you're already rejecting to the prince before he could even propose to you?" He chuckled. She had to be out of her mind to reject him. He had never been rejected. Ever. He grinned at her ambition though. He was sure she could be a florist if she got outside of the castle more. The art she did with her flowers was beautiful.
