Lynchpin---Castle and Surrounding Grounds.

[lynchpin_castle]

The servants are unseen and unknown. Residents are welcome to take over the Servant’s rooms or not, but it is not recommended. Likewise, it is unclear where the Master resides. Usually s/he will call a meeting of their champions and meet them within the reception all or Banquet room.

Meals are typically taken together as a group, and if requested--training times for the champions as a group may be arranged. Both of the mundane variety, and also recreations of challenge-zones, such as the Labyrinth and the Mirror Gallery. The castle and its immediate surroundings have been set to mimic Earth with its single moon and 24 hour cycle of time, along with a standard Julian calendar for convenience.

"Maybe before dinner?" Trunks responded, letting himself sink after that until his nose and eyes were above water. Hoping that would help cool off his blush.

"Deal." She said, and tipped forward to dive under, and did a small swim around him, before darting off to the side of the pool. She grabbed the edge and pulled herself half out of the water, feet clearly on the side. "That should be a good time to try and relax and wind down as well." She said, before pushing off, diving under and starting a lap circuit again.

The writer is not even sorry about the way her body is displayed in all this, or the way she moved gracefully, or the contracting orange and red colors under the clear clean water. Back to work out, yes?

This. Had. Been. Such. a bad idea...

Wide-blue eyes, and he needed to remember to breathe. Taking in a deep breath, and under the water once more heading to the edge of the pool. Focus, Trunks--focus!

Pulling himself up out of the pool fully, and getting to his feet. Stretching his arms up, and rolling his head and trying to ignore her as she swam. Reorient his thoughts and focus, since swimming was not the easiest thing for him.

Then diving back in, maybe not as gracefully as she did, and starting his own lap-circuit. Nor was he cheating, using ki or anything other than his own abilities.

This writer is ALSO not even sorry for the way his body moved, the way muscles flex and contract, narrow eyes blue and focused.

By time she had hit the other side, she had turned and held there a moment, seeing him climb out. She almost wondered if he was leaving, but he turned to dive in again and she couldn't help but smile. Very well built. She had to admit he looked good in the swim pants.

She dove under again and started back, eyes open under water. She wasn't using the Force either. That was cheating, but as she saw him coming closer, she turned a bit as she swam, like swimming on her back but under water. As they passed, she gave a small wave at him, a hello, and then righted herself and continued to kick, moving for the other side.

HE might be having a hard time with this, but she was amused and enjoying the presence of another in the water like that.

Then again, not everything was clicking just yet, like it was for him.

That would hit a bit later.

"Show off!" It was delayed a little bit, as he'd had called it to her when he was on the other, hand tagging the wall and pausing just to do that. But there's nothing other than good-natured teasing. Then he's turning, and continuing on his laps. Not nearly as at ease, but it was soothing and a nice change.

Maybe he'd come do this once a week or so. The company was nice also, even as he was trying to not think too much about why it was so nice.

She giggled as she caught the 'show off' comment, but said nothing back to it. Instead she kept at her laps, diving lower then he would go, and crossing his path once in a while as they went one end of the other. He wasn't bad at swimming, but it was also clear that he didn't do it that often.

This felt nice though. To swim freely, train a bit, and also feel more relaxed then before. She wasn't sure about him, but she felt better, more energized after a swim than anything. Wishing him a good day after they got out, she said she'd see him at the Observatory for Meditation. That gave her plenty of time to get her priorities righted.
