It seemed conversation had broken out nearby. The dark skinned boy wasn't able to make out very much of what the two had spoken about but they seemed curious about their situation - too curious, as they soon turned and began walking his way. He began to feel panic growing within him and his darted about to try to figure out a means to rectify his naked situation.

There appeared to be a rich butler of some sort standing by the pool. The attendant stood diligently, with a folded towel hanging over one arm. The good news was that the attendant was quite near - only a few feet, his boots were within arm's reach. The bad news was that the lowest part of the towel that was draped down was still up about three feet from where Ri's but sat in the shallow part of the pool. He tried to work out a clever plan to nab the towel but could come up with nothing aside from inching his back up along he wall of the pool behind him until he was able to nonchalantly grab the plush drying cloth. It took several attempts, completely blowing his facade but he managed to keep from exposing himself to the whole of the pool, even if he did stand out like a sore thumb for the thirty seconds it took for him to actually obtain the towel.

Finally, his prize in hand, he jumped up and slung the piece of terrycloth about his waist quicker than it would have taken for anyone to get a look at his indecent exposure. He blushed furiously and sat on the ledge at the edge of the pool, an eyebrow twitching violently in annoyance at the incident as he waited for the inevitable approach of the others.
