( it's taken her such a long time to decide which bingo squares she should aim for with Cyno. mostly because she feels embarrassed at the words written on the paper-! but she shouldn't be focusing on those. there are plenty of normal things to do on her card! like painting, and board games, and ...
... well, there's just none of that here right now, is there? Amber continues to walk along the beach with him, while she contemplates everything. it's quiet now, the sun is going down, and there aren't too many people out. )
Thanks for taking a walk with me, Cyno! I have no idea why this bingo card stuff is on my mind so much lately. I'm usually the type of girl who can dive into a problem headfirst! But some of this stuff it's asking me is just ... WAY out of my playing field.
[ He'd say that life's a beach—Cyno also struggles with some squares, even though he's always being forward about fulfilling the tasks. The one he has in mind is stepping outside his comfort zone for sure. ]
I understand you perfectly. [ He stops after saying that and turns to face the sea. This seems like a good spot and it's crucial that no one interrupts them. ] I could say that about most of these tasks, I think.
[ What is making connections with people? He forgot because of all the work. ]
Would you like to go swimming? It's a square we both share.
( she turns around, tilting her head a little bit in confusion. )
I don't think I have a swimming square on my bingo card, last time I checked ... but if you want to go for a swim with me, I'd love that! It's just ... darn. I haven't got a swimsuit. ( this poor sweet summer child hasn't quite understood the implication just yet-- )
Isn't that where you run into water ... naked?!( says the woman who has had ice baths with Eula ........... sus. but through Amber's logic, that's a bath. and maybe it's different when you're both girls ... )
U-Uuuhh! I... I dunno! I mean, wow. Naked! You know who I am! And I know you, and we'll be naked!
[ Looks at Cyno, looks at Eula. No competition, really. Amber's reaction puts a small smile on his face, though. ]
Would it have been easier with a stranger, then? [ He's helping, believe me. ] I can swim with my eyes closed, if that makes you feel more comfortable.
( perhaps she's overthinking it juuuust a bit! but she's over her initial shock at least. )
I've just ... never been in water with a guy before, I guess? ( and why does she suddenly feel like she's being challenged? Amber straightens up and takes a breath. )
Okay. Cyno, I'll be brave. We'll go in that water, and we'll be naked, and it'll be fine. ( RIGHT? )
i didn't get a notif for this, RUDE!!! i'm cracking up about eula now
Guess we're both in the same position here! ( excuse her as she pep talks herself for a moment. )
C'mon, Amber. Be brave. You're the bravest Outrider there ever was! You can get naked. You can do this!
( she throws her shirt off over her head and tosses it to the side, leaving her stood wearing her bunny rabbit print bra. don't @ her, Cyno. she really likes bunny rabbits! )
[ Cyno offered to turn away out of politeness, but now he feels like he should do that anyway. ]
You did it, Outrider Amber.
[ Here, that's very encouraging. Cyno looks away, his cheeks tinted pink because he sure did catch a glimpse of her bra. It's not like he has a lot of clothes to remove to begin with, but getting rid of his neck accessory, the crop top and gloves seems like a good idea before pushing his shendyt down.
Instead of pep talking himself, however, Cyno's coping mechanism turns itself in, which basically means... bad jokes. ]
( she's mentally reciting the storybook she loves about courage. JUST IN THE CONTEXT OF ... GETTING NAKED IN PUBLIC. U KNOW. NORMAL THINGS.
"It is courage that has allowed you to become the first flying birds of this world"
TIME FOR HER TO BE!! A COURAGEOUS BIRD TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Amber strips off the rest of her clothing and they fly off. somewhere. with a sudden burst of adrenaline, she charges into the sea now fully nude. )
I'M ONE OF THE FIRST FLYING BIRDS OF THIS WORLD!( she exclaims, with both arms outstretched before bursting into laughter as her body collides with the water. )KYAA! This water's sooooooo cold! Hahahaha-!
Then I'm going to be the second flying bird of this world.
[ He doesn't yell, but it's loud enough for her to hear. His shendyt is pulled all the way down to the sand the next moment and Cyno sprints in her direction completely naked. When he's close enough, he splashes some water on Amber and gives her a smile. ]
( before he runs into the sea, she covers her eyes. just to grant him some privacy! when she hears him approach in the water, she opens them and barks out a laugh. )
A race!? You mean swimming, right? ( she can only hope so because, YOU KNOW, BOOBS AND ALL ... no sports bra would make running suck!! )
No way! Running while naked sucks when you're a girl! ( You can probably guess why, Cyno. )
Swimming, though? Haha, we can do that! How about ... ( Amber looks around while shielding her eyes with her hand. ) Oh! How about we race over to that cove?

[ As in tag from like 5 minutes ago, no detail can escape Cyno's eyes. ]
I'll turn around, you can go first.
[ No time to be embarrassed, they have some naked swimming to do for a house upgrade. ]

To reassure you, I have never been in water with a girl before. [ Yes, that's definitely helpful. ] Or anyone, really. Unless chasing scholars counts.
[ Probably not... ]
I don't see closing my eyes as an issue, though.
[ Is this a joke to help her relax? Maybe. ]
SUPER NORMAL. JUST ICE BATH THINGS
C'mon, Amber. Be brave. You're the bravest Outrider there ever was! You can get naked. You can do this!
( she throws her shirt off over her head and tosses it to the side, leaving her stood wearing her bunny rabbit print bra. don't @ her, Cyno. she really likes bunny rabbits! )
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, JUST GALS BEING PALS

Being nude? I can't bare it.

That's precisely what I meant. [ A pause. ] Unless you want to...?
