They'd come from their homes to the military base in Cape Canaveral, and that was where they'd agreed upon meeting one another. The plan from thereon in was simple. (Maybe too simple to start with—Josuke had originally under planned, after all—but thanks to some helpful 'intervention' things were on course and running smoothly.) A hop, skip, and a jump away was the beach, but in order to be sure they were appropriately distanced from military property, those who were able and willing were to visit the garage and borrow vehicles that could be used to usher their small group a little ways down the coastline. And by the time they had all arrived at the designated location—an end of the beach decorated with bits of driftwood and only a very light dappling of footprints—the sky was already beginning to darken. The bands of color that had once streaked the horizon like the layers of a sedimentary rock were now fading to a beautiful blue-grey monochrome; the rippling waves looked less like glimmering silk and more like impenetrable velvet; and the sun was barely a glowing sliver, minutes away from disappearing entirely behind the skyline. It was cool, but not cold, and as the fire was struck, as it reached brightly skyward, flames dancing and crackling, warmth soon began to fan outward. Around the bonfire were blankets and towels for people to sit on. There were snacks of all kinds: marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, chips, and hot dogs—and there were skewers with which to stab several of these foods. There was a volleyball, too, pairs of binoculars, someone's media player and headphones, and a small cooler full of drinks on ice: water, some selections of soda, and of course...the alcohol. In short, everything anyone calling themselves a 'teenager' might need to cut loose on a Saturday night.

[ Well, that's straightforward. Reiner smirks and dismissively waves a hand. ]

Don't worry, I'm not the "peeking at girls" type. I just thought it was weird -- sitting around in wet clothes once you're done will feel a lot worse than the cold. [ He puts his hands on his hips thoughtfully. ] But if you still want a drink after you're done swimming I don't mind bringing it to you, but before isn't a good idea if you don't want to drown.

[Jolyne grins lightly in return - a genuine sort of smile, since he seems to specifically not be a creep.]

It's nice of you to worry... I can handle a little cold. I'll just have to stay close to the fire later. That'll be my punishment for wandering out here like this.

I might hold you to that drink, though.

[She turns to face him more fully, as if ready to come back out of the water... although she... doesn't. do that.]

Are you coming in?

[soldiarity]

It could be worse. [ Really? How?? He elaborates: ] At least you didn't just dive in. Then you'd really be sorry.

[ Drying out clothes while you're wearing them is just its own special kind of suffering. Better to just avoid getting your clothes wet in the first place, is Reiner's take on it. ]

No. I considered it, but tonight I think I'd rather stay dry. I'm not in the right kind of reckless mood.
