No, I... [ cough. ] I got this. [ coughcough. ] Dumb stupid bottle ain't getting the better of me. [ clears her throat, because her chest is burning. she's pretty sure some of that went down the wrong pipe. OUCH. takes a deep breath and throws her head back to finish off the remainder. ]
[ she's had a lot of practice slamming back mountain dew, red bull, and other sugary garbage drinks. admittedly the stuff he brought had been a lot more difficult to down, and she's absolutely paying that price right now. there's, like, eight of him, right? and she swears she feels like she's going to throw up her innards. not to mention her throats on fire, but, hey, this is fine... she's feeling F I N E. everything's fine. ]
[ He chuckles into it at first -- NICE TRY! -- but then just focuses on the kiss itself, one hand shifting to cup the side of her face. His hand is no doubt warm on her skin, compared to her own body temperature. ]
[ but the kiss is nice. or maybe that's his hand. or king, himself. or all three. regardless, she smiles against his lips and hums, absolutely and wholly content. ] Saranghaeyo jeonha ♥. [ ...it's probably slurred. ]
[ and even if he had mastered korean she probably sounds like she's speaking gibberish right now. ]
My heart is real warm. [ grins like an idiot. ] Hey. [ nudges him back a bit as she gets to her feet. ] It's, like, our spot here, right, [ don't mind her trying to remember how clothes work, so she's probably wrestling with her shirt right now. ] so we should be able to do whatever. [ stumbles to the side and nearly falls over. ]
And that's why it's the perfect thing to do! I can't get cold if I'm already cold. It's a double negative. [ throws her top on the ground and then wiggles out of her skirt. ] I'll actually just get warm, probably. It's science. [ clearly. ]
[ starts heading toward the water, stepping out of her panties along the way. ]
[ she stops dead in her tracks as soon as a wave crashes to the shore and the water trails up toward her, touching her feet. ]
[ holy. shit. it's freezing. ]
[ but if she backs down now she's going to look like an idiot. also, she can't let the beach win. as the wave retreats she starts walking about. ]
Don't think, King, just doooo~ [ starts running and, after a moment, when she's splashing through the shallow she dives through one of the small waves and starts swimming out. ]
[ she dog paddles toward the shore like a mad woman monster and screeches again, her tentacles going wild as she shakes off the cold water, because it had been a LOT colder than she imagined. ]
[ EW, BAD! TOO COLD!! BLECH!!! ]
[ she's about to take off toward the pier when she trips in the sand and faceplants, screaming in frustration. getting to her feet she growls, glaring at king like it's his fault. ]
[ the fuck is this tiny starfish man doing?! she seems super confused about him running at her and takes a step back, but then... no, they must be playing chicken, so she immediately starts rushing forward. ]
[ she lets out some inhuman noise as she runs at him, her enormous ears flopping around and her tentacles catching the wind behind her. king's going to realize something kind of hilarious if ( and when ) they collide. she still weighs the same as she did when she was human, so... lol. ]
