[ damn, does he want six dollars? maybe he should've upped the ante. ]

Yes. I knew right away.

[ that he'd want to invite him. he just had to confirm he wasn't a frog cosplayer. there is absolutely no lack of confidence here. ]

I already have one person though.

[frogzoned]

Ah-- yes. Me too. I have to take care of Ylfa. She can't be on her own. I mean, she can, she's quite strong, and extremely terrifying in certain circumstances, but she is a child.

[ wait, ]

You do not have to pay me.

[squirt]

Hm... Yeah. That's okay. [ he has pool water brain, but he also doesn't mind helping look after a kid. ] I was swimming since I was young too.

[ that has nothing to do with anything ]

...You don't need anything in exchange?

[frogzoned]

Hah.

[ he gets it, actually. Solidarity. ]

No? Well, apart from the typical expectations of being a team, in that we will probably be involved in some life threatening situations together.

[squirt]

...Life threatening. I guess this place is that.

[ that throws him into a brief thousand-yard stare before he nods. ]

Teams stick together through everything. And anything. [ ... ] I'm Haruka Nanase. You can talk with your teammate, but don't forget my request.

[ join his swim club ]
