Léan looked quite elated that Viktor was offering to teach her how to scuba-dive. "...Here, or at the other beach?" he asked Viktor, slowly.
"Oh, here," Viktor replied, easily. "All I'd have to do is go fetch my truck and park it down here. I've got four or five sets of scuba gear in there." |
"It would be nice to see the reef properly," Glory admitted. "You know, instead of between breathing."
|
"You don't need goggles, either, remember..." Léan reminded her. "Just proper gear..."
"No goggles? Okay, then...you want me to go get it now?" Viktor asked, his hands on his hips. He looked rather womanly with his hands on his hips. |
"You can, if you like," Glory replied. "It's not like I'm really going anywhere."
|
"Eh...I haven't got much to do, either. Gimme a moment and I'll be back." Viktor headed back up the beach, and the hill behind it, to fetch his truck.
Léan exhaled, finally, releasing a long sigh. |
"Well, that was... unexpected," Glory finally said once Viktor was gone. "I did my best to distract him..."
|
"He's persistent..." Léan agreed, watching him disappear over the top of the hill. "I think the only way you could have distracted him was if you had dangled a naked human male in front of him and thrown the poor soul somewhere else..." he joked.
|
"I just hope this doesn't cause problems once we're back home," Glory said. "Though it'll be a lot easier getting you back home than it was getting you here."
|
Léan nodded, sighing. Then, he looked up at the hill, his sharp hearing picking up the sound of a humming motor.
A sleek black pickup had just made its way over the hill, and was heading for the beach. Viktor was behind the wheel. He killed the engine right where the sand started and hopped out. "C'mere. Let's find a size back here that fits you..." |
Reluctantly, Glory got up. For a moment, she was grateful that he liked men instead; she didn't have to worry about him trying to feel her up under the guise of helping her find the right size equipment.
|
Viktor spread out the suits in the bed of the truck, pushing the extra large one away for now--certainly too big. "Go on--which one looks like it'll fit you just right?"
|
Glory looked at the suits. She ignored the smallest one; she wasn't big, but she certainly wasn't petite, either. After a moment, she chose the one that looked slightly smaller than her normal clothes.
"This one, I think," she said. |
"All right, then..." Viktor grabbed one of the bigger ones--he was tall and had some muscle to him. "I call the bushes..." He scrambled behind some nearby shrubs to change. There were a lot of bushes around, and there was also the truck she could change in.
|
"I can just as easily change inside, you know," Glory called to him, gesturing to the house. Going inside, she went into hers and Selena's room and changed quickly before heading back out.
|
Viktor was done early--he was waiting for her when she got back. He, of course, had goggles in his hand. "Now, you secure the tanks like this..." He showed her the proper way to secure the tanks. "When you've got it, grab some flippers and come over..." He headed on out to one of the farther-out rocks and sat down, pulling flippers on.
|
Glory did as she was instructed, and sat down on one of the rocks as well.
"The rocks back home are smoother," she commented. "These ones gave me some nice scrapes on the back of my legs earlier." |
"Yeah, these waters here are calmer than yours back home, probably," Viktor commented, finishing with the flippers. He pulled his goggles down. "Put the mouthpiece in...then turn on the tanks and stand up...then just walk into the water. It's deep enough here." He did as he said, standing up, and then stepped over the edge of the rock.
Léan swam up once Viktor jumped in, tail swishing back and forth eagerly underwater. |
"The rocks are probably newer, too," Glory replied as she slid into the water.
|
Léan, once again, was much clearer underwater, and a few notches more attractive, than he was above it. He shied away from Viktor, who was getting himself settled underwater.
|
Glory was much more comfortable under the water, and was able to get herself settled quickly. It was a lot easier now that she was able to breathe, and she actually got a chance to look around.
|
The design of the equipment made it so that one could speak underwater, though it was kind of fuzzy. "You all right with it? Anything you need to know?" he asked, curiously.
Léan swam around in happy circles. |
"I'm good," Glory replied. It took her a little while to regulate her breathing, but after a moment, she didn't have to think about it anymore.
|
Léan seemed quite happy. He swam around in circles, a pleased look on his face. He was much more comfortable fully underwater than anywhere else...
Viktor shook his head, getting rid of a shell in his hair. "You can keep that equipment. The tanks say to fill 'em up with pure oxygen, but you can really just fill them up with sea air and you'll be fine," he explained. |
"Alright," Glory replied. She turned around as Léan circled around, watching him have fun. He was so easily amused...
|
"Don't go too deep until you've got an idea of how much oxygen you've got in there," Viktor warned, swimming away towards shore. "I'm going to head back to the other beach...get back to surfing."
Léan seemed a bit happier once he left. |
