Tez was weakened from the water that he had gotten drenched with. In fact, it made him quite sleepy. He really didn't feel like moving too much right now after having helepd Lily back onto the shore. Why did bad things always happen to him anyways?! He really hadn't a clue. Maybe it was just his luck? Slowly lowering himself onto the sand, Tez sat down. Hunched over his knees a bit as he tried to get over the sleepy feeling and annoying wave of weakness. Water did that to him as well as Seff. If either of them, because they were fire elementals, touched the water they'd get weakened to the point of not being able to use their fire powers for a time. They'd have to wait to fully dry before being able to use them again. That's why he hated Atlantica. Tez was vulnerable in that world because his fire powers were useless and his swords would disappear due to the form change. He had a nasty run in with a Great White Shark. Tez wouldn't forget that encounter too quickly. Looking over towards Lily, whom was just as wet, he asked her "You okay?" (I didn't make a big reply thingy but I did my best lol! Taking it eeasy ! lol!)

[You know I don't care about that kinda stuff =D You always make good posts anyways ;]]
Lily had been lying on her back, but instantly regretted her decision as she sat up and noticed that sand was now stuck to her wet clothes. Oh well, she'd live. She just wished that this day had gone better.
She felt embarrassed for making herself looking like an idiot in front of Tez when she barely knew him that well. Though the day wasn't completely over yet. There was still time to make herself look at least a little less stupid. Though who knew if Tez would even hang around for much longer.
Then again, why did she care? If he didn't stay it was his loss right. Maybe it was just because of the fact that he was Seff's brother. It would probably be odd for her and Seff to hang out if she didn't get along with her brother.
Lily could assume that Seff and Tez would probably be spending alot of time together now, after all, they just recently found each other after so many years apart. So, she was going to give a shot at turning things around.
It's not like she had anything better to do.
"Yeah I'm alright, just wet..and cold and these clothes feel kind of sticky now too." She said with a somewhat nervous chuckle. Why had she said that? Wasn't she trying to make herself look less like of an idiot?
"Oh, and sorry I kinda.. pulled you into the water before, ..it was an accident."

Of course, Tez had sand stuck to his pants for having sat there but he really hadn't minded it in the least. He was too busy sitting there trying to slowly recover himself. Of course, it was sort of awkward being here with his sister's friend. For some reason it didn't feel right. Tez just assumed it was because it was going to take a lot of getting used to. After all, Seff and he were going to see each other more often now that they've reunited again.
Of course, Tez hadn't not liked Lily. It was just that she was a new person and it was going to take him a bit to get used to the other's presence. He glanced towards her when she spoke. Raising an eyebrow at the mention of the clothes being sticky. Just what the hell did she mean by that?! It was a very good thing Tez wasn't the perverted type. otherwise he would've said something very er....uncalled for. (XD!)
He closed his eyes briefly as he tilted his head back so that his face was up towards the sky. It was then that her apology had registered through his mind. Opening an eye as he peered over at her with it, he simply smiled. "That's alright....my sister Seff's been known to gt me into a lot worse....don't worry about it!" he said reassuringly to her.

Lily laughed a bit at the last thing Tez said. "Really? Like what?" Though Lily wasn't looking at Tez when she asked that question. Her face was bright red, still embarrassed about the..awkward statement she had made earlier, So she had her head turned away from him so he couldn't see.
Though it may have seemed like Lily was surprised at what Tez had said, she wasn't. She and Seff had gotten into their share of trouble and problems, though Lily herself was always apart of it just as much as Seff, so it wasn't exactly the same.
As Lily sat, a cool breeze came across the island, a normal thing that usually wouldn't have phased her, but now that she was soaking wet, the simple gust of wind seemed to last forever. It made the hair stand up on her arms, and even made her shiver a little. "I hope I don't get sick." She thought as she sat in her still wet clothes.
That was the last thing she needed or wanted to happen. But because of the fact she had no dry clothes with her, she would have to just deal with it and hope for the best.

Tez was oblivious to Lily's embarrassment. Then again, after that little episode, who wouldn't be? Of course, Tez would be bright red in the face after having done that. He briefly raised an eyebrow with that half smirk still on his face. "Well, simple things like having Xirx chasing her about.....sometimes I wonder if that Nobody has a thing for my sister if you catch my drift!" he chuckled.
What he meant was quite obvious. Xirx, even though he was a Nobody, could still have mental preferences for females. Hence the 'having a thing' for Tez's sister type of thing. If Xirx really did hear that during the next encounter he'd probably die and then try to kill Tez for that statement. It was simply reputation damaging. Of course, Xirx couldn't feel emotions but such a suggestion would appall him.
Tez mentally sighed at being wet. How tired it made him feel. It'd take him several minutes of drying time before he could probably start feeling better. Maybe even enough to use his fire powers to dry himself up and Lily if she wanted. The gust of wind that past made him shiver a little as he shut his eyes. It felt much worse to him since he was a fire elemental at a weakened state.
Scrunching his nose as it finally gusted past, he shook his head slightly. 'Man! Do I hate water!' he thought bitterly. Of course, he didn't blame that all on Lily. It wasn't her fault for having tripped then accidentally dragged him in along with her by mistake. Another gust of wind came and this made him scrunch up to try to keep warm. Looking over at Lily, he could clearly see she too was having trouble with the gusts of wind.
"Are you going to be alright?" he questioned her. Slowly, the wind was drying what water was on his arms which he could soon use to ignite his flames from to hasten their drying up but it still wasn't dry enough yet. Tez, of course, was a gentleman and knew when to help a lady when she needed it. It wasn't exactly intentional nor did he mean for it to seem awkward because he was used to having done this sort of thing for his younger sibling, Seff whenever she got too cold. Without thinking, because of how much a klutz he could be when not thinking straight, he had embraced Lily to keep her warm.
It was only then after a few minutes that it registered in what the hell he was doing. That's when the awkwardness began. Looking over at Lily in shock at what he just did, Tez's face lit up like a red beacon. "I-I-I'm sorry!" he apologized quickly. Averting his gaze from her face, Tez let go swiftly. Feeling utterly stupid and embarrassed. Maybe he was TOO used to his sister's presence hence the accidentally hugging of his sister's friend. Either that or maybe he just got a bit too comfortable with the other's presence and accidentally mistook her for his sister without thinking.

"Oh that guy is still bothering her?" Lily said with a chuckle. "I remember having an encounter with him..the first day I met Seff actually. He actually tried attacking us, if I remember correctly, but obviously we made it out okay, or else I wouldn't be here." Well actually that was probably a bit dramatic, considering that compared to other battles she and Seff have been in, that was nothing. And they had Xirx outnumbered three to one, for Seffs dragon friend Raina had been present during that battle too. But Lily was pretty sure Tez had gotten the point anyway.
Looking over at Tez, Lily couldn't help but feel like he was having the harder time right now, and she didn't know why. "Yeah! Don't worry, I'll be fine, it's just water after all. But what about.." But she stopped near the end of her sentence for when she felt Tez embrace her, she froze.
It hadn't lasted that long, maybe a minute or two. But to Lily, the minutes went by like hours. She wasn't sure what to do, so she just sat there as her heart was beating rapidly in her chest, so fast that she almost thought it would explode. Once it was over though, she still couldn't relax. "I uh.. it's alright, Um.." But Lily, whose face was just as red as Tez's was couldn't think of anything to say. This awkward moment sure beat hers.
A few seconds went by and she still couldn't bring herself to look at, or talk to Tez, and the odd silence was starting to become more then she could take. "Maybe I'm getting too worked up over this. It was kind of nice anyway.." Pause. "Oh god! Did I just say that out loud? I did didn't I?" Lily groaned, at this point all she wanted to do was crawl up into a ball, or suddenly gain invisibility powers so he couldn't see her. "I erm.. just never mind." She said quietly, now facing the opposite way as Tez. She didn't think it was possible for her face to get so red.

God, help these poor confused souls. That was all that could be said during this very very awkward moment. Tez was still bright red in the face when he had averted his gaze. Whenever he thought about what he had just done it'd only flare up even more. 'Why did I have to go and do a thing like that?' he thought. Angry with himself for having gone and done that to the poor girl. Well, it wasn't like he had harmed her. Just merely embraced her.
'I blame my reaction to her being cold on Seff! Whenever she got cold I'd do that and because of being so used to it I've gone and done it to the wrong girl by mistake!' he thought angrily. What thoughts might've gone through Lilly's head just now? Tez wasn't at all a bad guy but because of that she might think he was trying to take advantage of her. He hated himself for having thrown Lily into this situation. It wasn't at all intentional. Tez just hoped the other wouldn't be angry with him. If she was, he could understand.
He winced mentally as she replied to his apology. Only then did it register. Her words were awkward. Hesitant sounding as though she found it hard to talk and alleviate the situation. All he did was nod in response. Too embarrassed right now to look her in the eyes. There was a long pause of awkward silence as he sat there looking away in embarrassment. 'How could I be such a klutz and dropped her into this mess?' he thought. Loathing at what he had gone and done.
It was then that Lily broke the long silence. His eyebrows raised hearing what she had said. Blinking, he thought 'Sort of nice?!' Her words had now really confused him and left him in a stupor. He hadn't any idea how to react right now. It just made the whole thing even worse. Never the less, he tried to speak. "Uhhhhh...." was all he could manage at this point in time. Just baffled and literally blown out of the water at the moment from what she said.
Not really knowing how to deal with this, he tried to speak again. "I-I-I didn't mean for....for that....I-I er...." he sighed. He just couldn't speak without stammering and sounding like a fool. This didn't help his face. It still remained red. Trying to still talk normally, Tez said quickly "I guess it's because o-of Seff! I-I used to erm....hug her whenever she got cold! My sister...." he trailed off after that. Lost for words right now as he tried to fix his confused mind.
Poor Tez! Baffled and not knowing what to do with himself! "Well....er....glad you liked it!" he replied then his eyes widened. 'WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU SAYING?!' his mind screamed at him right now. Only making Tez's face go a deeper scarlet. He had to be redder in the face than his sibling's eyes.

Lily was pretty sure she had never been in a situation as awkward as this one before. Things went from ok to good to bad and then worse, In an honestly very short span of time. Not only had she made a big fool of herself in the recent minutes, she was pretty sure she had done a few things that had made Tez feel less then comfortable too. Especially with the last thing she had said. Lily couldn't help but wonder what Seff would do or say if she were here, though she was worried more about what she was supposed to say or do next.
Should she just stay quiet? Probably not, that would just make things feel more awkward, if that was possible. Though then again, it seemed like every time she opened her mouth, she said the wrong thing. She could always leave, but what would that do? Save her from more embarrassment maybe, but she wasn't the type of person to just walk off on someone like that..usually. And it wasn't like Tez did anything wrong either, it just seemed like neither of them were good at saying the right thing, whatever that was.
Since it was pretty much the only thing she could do without being rude, Lily was going to make an attempt at fixing things. "I..uh..didn't..that wasn't.." Or maybe not? That was it, she was completely lost. Lily was uncomfortable and confused and she had no idea what to do and what not to do anymore, since it all seemed to backfire on her somehow anyway. It just didn't seem like there was much point in trying anymore, well at that moment at least. Just as she was ready to go along with her 'stay silent' plan, she heard what Tez said.
..And found herself laughing pretty hysterically. "Wow...that.. was.. even.. worse.. then what I said!" She exclaimed between the laughter, grinning at him as well. It seemed like that one odd comment made her forget everything she had been feeling and stressing over, for the moment at least.

Tez's eyebrows furrowed when he heard what was distinctly laughter. Really not knowing what to do in this situation, he made to get up. Sadly, that's when another gust of wind from the sea reached them again. Still not dry yet, Tez grimaced. The cold was almost unbearable for him. He shivered before gritting his teeth at the gust.
Amidst that, Lily had still been laughing at what he had said. Blinking over at her, perplexed, Tez didn't exactly know how to react. Rolling his eyes, he replied "Okay, Okay! I know!" Shaking his head a little irritatedly, he said "I know I screw up my words, okay?" In fact, he really must've messed them up for Lily to be laughing at him. Tez put a hand to his forehead as he thought of how to fix this huge mess.
There really didn't seem to be any point in fixing it since the damage had already been done. "I wonder what Seff would've said seeing and hearing this!" he muttered to himself. Looking back over to the giggling Lily, he raised an eyebrow. "Was it really that funny?" he said, doing his best to keep himself from slightly smirking. Trying hard not to chuckle at himself. It was just too hard because he could see the other laughing at him as it was.

Lily would have to admit, the way Tez reacted hurt her a little bit. It wasn't like she was trying to be mean, and she had been laughing more at the situation they were in more so then Tez himself. She had felt bad when she first noticed that he wasn't laughing along with her, but became somewhat angry with the way his verbal response sounded.
"Well, sorry that I mistook you for someone with a sense of humor." She shot at him. It may not have been the best, or nicest thing to say but it was the first thing that had come to mind.
Hearing his next comment, Lily rose an eyebrow but didn't look at him. "If I say yes, what're you gonna do, bite my head off?" She replied sourly. Maybe she was overreacting a bit, but his reaction had stung, she hadn't expected it to turn out this way.

He hadn't exactly known he made the other angry at this point. So, Tez was giving her an utterly taken aback expression. Being a typical guy, he hadn't realized what he said until he thought it over then smacked his forehead in realization. 'Welp, I guess this is what I get for trying to play it calm!' he thought, rolling his eyes at his mistake.
'I can be a real moron at times, can't I?' he wondered. Bringing his attention back to the now furious Lily, he edged away a bit in case he were in danger of getting his head smacked. (XD!) "Me?! Bite off your head?! Yeah right!" he said with a slight laugh. More so at the face he was being given right now. He didn't know why but she looked kind of funny when angry. That wasn't a good thing to be laughing at though. Lily just might beat him up for it.
Still chuckling, he added "I'm sorry....but that face you have on when angry is just too hard not to laugh....You look like you're about to bite my head off when you're actually a sweet girl!" That might've insulted her so he tried to alleviate that quickly by adding to finish it off "I mean in a positive way.....I hadn't expected someone as nice as you to have that 'I'm going to kill you' face!" he chuckled. Now a bit nervous thinking he was going to be pummeled into the ground and maybe tossed back into the water.

It was kind of funny how one minute this guy was getting all worked up about her laughing at him, but when he starts laughing at her, it's just fine. Lily really didn't understand him. But what she did understand was that after the way he had acted before, she wasn't going to take being laughed at by him. She then stood up, turned around, looked him right in the eye, and gave him the best glare she could manage.
But it only took a few seconds before her expression softened and she found herself trying to hold back a laugh herself. For Lily, laughter was even more contagious then yawning."For someone who made such a big deal when when I was laughing, You seem to have no problem laughing at me." She said, smirking slightly.
"Oh and about that, well come on, everyone gets angry sometimes. I mean, if you said that you never got angry, I'd know you were lying. And seriously, If I had to be nice every day of my life I think I'd go crazy!" She said with a laugh. "Anyway, I don't know about you, but I think now would be a good time to end this all with a truce, I think we're pretty much even now anyway."

Tez, seeing the glare, tried his best not to go into a full fit of laughter then. He didn't know why the heck he was like this, but he just couldn't hold it back. There was just something about how she made that face. Yes, Tez could be very confusing if he wanted to be. This just happened to be one of those times. After a few moments, Lily's expression had softened as she started to join in on the laughter.
Holding his sides, Tez said through fits of laughter "I'm sorry!" It took him a few minutes before he could regain his self composure. He blinked, hearing what Lily had said. He snickered at that before nodding. "Yeah, if someone didn't get angry at one point in their life they're either a Nobody or very happy due to laughing gas." He chuckled after having said that.
It was then that Lily mentioned they should make a truce. Half smiling, he held out a hand. "Sure, why not?!" he said in a cheerful tone.
