Tez merely gave a slight laugh hearing her comment about him getting there. "Yeah, I can be a slowpoke!" he joked back. Not taking offense since he was like his sister in attitude wise. Though there were times when the two siblings differed from each other. Sometimes it was hard to believe he was the oldest out of the two since Seff acted like she was the older one at times.
It was then that he registered what the hell he was doing and looked away quickly. 'I've got to watch where I leave my eyes a bit too long!' he thought embarrassedly. It was a lucky thing Lily hadn't caught him at it. He was almost certain the other might've slapped him upside the head or something. It was then that she mentioned why she came to this world. Honestly, he could clearly agree with it all.
"I see....yes, this world does take away a lot of my own stress despite causing a bit of another." What he meant by that is the heat. The added heat made him a tad warmer than normal people because he was an elemental. Tez or Seff were the best companions to have if ever traveling in the mountains of The Land of Dragons. Their body heat helped keep others warm aside from using their fire powers to have a portable form of heat.
"I don't know why I came here today but it soothes me a lot....everything I've worried about has seemed to have lifted off my shoulders." Why he said this was a big question. One, the heat must be affecting his thinking and two, he seemed to be at ease here with Lily. Very odd indeed. Maybe it was because she was Seff's best friend or something.

Lily heard him laugh a little at the comment she had made, that was good. He knew she had been joking. She had to admit, that he had a quite a nice laugh, though she wouldn't tell him that of course. Why would she? 'Oh yeah, by the way I like your laugh' That would be pretty stupid thing to say to a person. She only hoped she wouldn't say it to him by accident.
"Oh, what do you mean that?" She asked with her eyebrow raised a bit. "What other kind of stress does this place cause you?" She questioned. She didn't have the slightest clue what his answer would be.
Lily dug her feet out of the sand a little, she had just gotten the urge to walk a bit deeper into the water. But as she was moving she tripped on something she hadn't noticed before. As she was starting to fall, she grabbed Tez's hand, it was just the first thing that she thought of doing.
This situation would be fairly funny to Lily if she weren't the one experiencing it. In movies and things like that, situations like this happened slowly for dramatic effect. But in real life, things happen so fast sometimes that you barely have time to think of what to do.

Poor Tez! The poor guy didn't see what was coming. One second he was fine and the next he was randomly grabbed by the hand. The next thing he saw was the ocean water with Lily accidentally yanking him right into the water! "HOLY-!" he managed a yelp before a big SPLASH ensued.
The water felt icy cold to him and it felt weakening. He had been planning to tell Lily the place was affecting him because of the extra heat added onto his already abnormal body heat for being an elemental. It had been tossed out of his mind in a flash from this little incident. Sadly, he would've pulled her and prevented Lily from falling but only if he had been more aware. She had caught him off guard and now found himself in an embarrassing position.
He was sopping wet and weakened but also practically on top of the poor girl. Reacting in a split second, Tez had gotten off. Almost immediately he had brushed away the wet bangs of his hair that just covered them. Giving his head a slight shake like a dog would do as water went everywhere before looking around. Looking over to Lily, he said "Um...you alright?" It felt rather awkward now.
Also, he was giving her that shocked and surprised look still. His brown eyes were wide as his mouth was shut soon after asking that.

It all happened in a flash. Lily could remember the moment before she tripped, and after she came up from the water, but almost nothing in between. Everything had happened so fast, it was almost like she had blacked out for a few seconds.
She spat a bit of salt water out of her mouth and just sat in the water as the waves that came moved her back and forth from her spot a little. Lily found herself unable to get up at the moment, the cold and the utter shock from the fall were too much. Though all in all, she considered herself fairly lucky.
She and Tez had fallen into pretty shallow water, at least compared to how deep the water was farther out. It could've been much worse, but the whole situation was still very, very unpleasant.
Tez's words had barely registered in her ears, her mind had been somewhere else. "Y-yeah. Just cold.." She said, laughing softly. She just now realized that she was shaking, but she tried her best to ignore it. "What about you, are you alright?"
After she had asked him that question, Lily figured it was time to get up. Though when she tried, nothing seemed to be responding. Not planning on sitting in the water forever, she did the only thing she could think of.
"Hey, I'm sorry, but do you think I could have a little help?" She asked Tez. She looked up at him with as much of a smile as she could muster.
Well, this was probably something they would remember for a while.

Tez was literally soaked from head to toe. His hair was still wet but maybe not like before since he had shaken it a little. It was good to hear the other was okay. Tez didn't care about his own well being before others. It was then that he heard the question she was asking him. "Nah! I'm wet and weakened by the water thing but I'll be fine!" he replied with a mere shrug.
Glad that this hadn't gotten too awkward. It was kind of refreshing with the water but then again it weakened him too. What was meant by weakened, the water prevented him from using any fire powers. He was vulnerable to attack if any Heartless appeared. Thankfully, not for now. Lily asked him for some help and he blinked over at her in slight confusion.
He was able to get to his feet but what she needed help with he hadn't a clue. It was then that she smiled at him that he understood. She couldn't get up! Not sure if he'd still be able to pull her up, Tez extended a hand to her. "Sure! Just grab my hand!" he simply told her. Bracing himself for a bit of struggle or strain with his muscles.

"Alright." Lily slowly outstretched her arm, then grabbed Tez's hand tightly. Though not so tight that it would cause him discomfort. Or at least she hoped it wouldn't.
Lily wasn't really sure how well this would work considering she and Tez weren't exactly feeling their best at the moment, but it was worth a try. She slowly and gently pulled on Tez's arm and began to get up.
It was hard at first, but she really pushed herself, using the little strength she had in her legs at the moment to stand up. When she finally did, she found herself almost feeling a little stronger, though she leaned on Tez a little bit for extra support, just in case.
She just hoped this wouldn't hurt him, or make things any harder. For he had said that the water had weakened him a little. Though she figured if they worked together they could get back to the sand just fine, it wasn't like they were that far away anyway, fairly close actually.

Tez grabbed hold of Lily's hand and began to pull her upwards. It was amazing at how weak the icy water made him. Not to mention sleepy. Of course, it wasn't life threatening for him. The water just weakened his current physical state. Nothing fatal about it. He did tend to avoid Atlantica, the water world. Of course, that sea water wouldn't kill him but he'd be vulnerable if he were to go there.
His fire powers and swords wouldn't be there for him to use and he'd be left with nothing to fend for himself with. Nothing but the ability to swim and that didn't get others far either in certain situations. He was amazed at how heavy Lily felt to him because of the state he was in.
Never the less, he did all that he could to help pull her back up onto her feet. She was helping too by pushing herself up a good amount before finally getting to her own feet but leaning on him for support. Tez was a little shaky in the knees from the water weakness but he was still able to walk.
Turning towards the shore not to far from where they were, he said "Alright....now to get over there! Let's hope we make it!" Tez had said this in a joking way. Acting as if this was a life and death situation before snickering at this.
