That would be great, thank you. I'm not very mobile.

[Fish tail...]

[ Better excuse than horse-Rion. ]

[ She flies off to get one of the water guns and returns with watergun in hand. For a moment it looks like she's turning the water gun to face him so he can geab it by the grip -

Except last second she changes course and flips it in her hand to squirt him instead (: ]

[He doesn't go 'ah!' because that's just not a reflex he has, but he does jump in surprise when he's squirted.]

I should've seen that coming.

[ It earns a slight laugh. ]

Yeah, you should have.

Oh no, I've been attacked.

[He's smiling as he tries to grab for the water gun. Time to counter...!]

Wow, who'd have done something like that?

[ She easily lets him take the gun. ]

Terrible.

[Squirts water at her shoulder.]

[ She lets it happen, but she's not laughing about it. In fact, she's reaching up to grab him by the collar with a glare: ]

Who said you could do that?

[ ~~she's just trying to scare him~~ ]

[---oh no, he's made a mistake, oh no oh no oh no-]

S-sorry, I'm sorry-

[Consider scaring him successful.]

[ It's a success! For a quick blink and you'll miss it moment she grins because in near the same instance she presses a kiss to his cheek before letting him go - technically the square doesn't say it has to be kiss a taller person on the lips! ]

[ It's done in the same rapidfire way so she can break away with a heartfelt laugh. Sorry, Robin. ]

[

what the heck

He touches his cheek where she kissed him.]

Um... So, you're not mad...?

Some of us have squares to fill too, you know.

[ She smiles mischeviously: ] And some of us are just easy targets for them.

That's fair.

[He is easily bulliable. He knows this.]

[ Nudges him slightly: ]

So what else do you got? Thanks to you, I've got another Bingo if I get another talking square - [ You can almost hear the roll of her eyes she holds back in her voice, ] How about you?

I can get a bingo if I put someone in a bubble... Or do a cheer together with someone?

[He really can't imagine Astrid doing cheerleading stuff.]

[ He's right super cheery Astrid is canonically a sign of going insane from sleep deprivation Astrid - ]

A bubble is probably okay? It doesn't say how long you have to be in it right?

Right. It'll only be for a second and then you'll be out.

Only for a second.

[ She doesn't like the idea of being at the mercy of someone else at all. ]

Okay.

[It takes him a second to work out how to summon water - apparently a thing sirens can do - but a sphere of water will briefly surround Astrid before disappearing. Hope she didn't swallow any of it.]

[ She doesn't swallow any of it - despite a moment of surprise. The bubble disappears and it was water so she's(?) probably wet now which isn't comfortable at all: ]

Ugh.

[ Trying to wring out some clothes - ] What else is next?

Sorry. -I think it's your turn, but could you warn me this time?

Don't worry, there's nothing else I have that could use warning for. And you can't warn someone if you're going to scare them - [ The other one was because she had him there so she might as well: ]

Besides, the one I have for a bingo there is 'Talk about the Future'.

That one's not that bad. Have you thought about what you'll use your wish for when if you graduate?

Not really? [ She says it with a shrug, turns her attention away from him: ]

That's such a long ways off, it's not something I'm thinking much about. Right now, I want to focus on getting there. I have a lot of memories to regain before even thinking about it. [ But she does frown slightly, her hand hovering just at her heart before she breathes out a sigh: ]

But I do know whatever happens I'll be choosing to go home, to Berk. It needs to be protected and there's someone I need to help for that to happen.

[ Because she's dutybound to protecting others first and she already knows a little - Rye talked extensively about Berk's needs and what Tokyo-F could offer. ]

That makes sense You have plenty of time to decide.

-I've thought about my wish, but I haven't thought about whether I want to go home or not yet, so we're opposites there. If the ghost that threatens my village is laid to rest, it won't need protecting anymore, and I could go wherever I wanted.
