[ Sinclair is surprised to be welcomed so easily, even more surprised to get his own room... but he's thankful for all of it nonetheless.

Sinclair joins Oria outside, in his own shorts and a short sleeved hoodie as he moves further into the water. His bruising has mostly faded by now and there's only a lingering ache]

You just got out of the hospital.

[He's long given up on trying to figure out where the bodyguards are stationed. Out of sight, out of mind]

[dissimulative]

[ Oria turns his head to look over at Sinclair and huffs. The starting end of the pool is only around 1.2 meters deep. Nice enough to wade in. Oria is still sitting on the entry stairs, moving his legs as he sits. Water therapy... Water.... save him. ]

I was in the hospital for like... 10 days. I wasn't even awake for seven of those. I wanna do something, but I don't wanna swim either.

[insinning]

[Hmmmm. Oria vs water once more...rip.

Sinclair wades further into the pool, because the cold water feels nice against his skin]

Then should we go for a walk?

[Are there hiking trails they can go around?]

[dissimulative]

At that point, I should just go camping.

[ Oria laughs a little. The deepest end is about 4 meters, so there's a wide range of where Sinclair can go and swim wherever he feels like. ]

My legs aren't that sturdy yet, so that's why I'm working them out in the water.

[insinning]

But you're still bored.

[He doesn't really want to swim either. He goes back to the steps with Oria and sits with him]

Some kind of game then?

[dissimulative]

[ A game that they can play while sitting on the pool steps. Hm. Oria thinks about it while looking ahead. He can't really think of many, but... ]

20 questions?

[insinning]

[The only other games Sinclair can think of are truth or dare which seems silly to play. He'll go with it]

Sure. You go first.

[dissimulative]

[ Oria tries to think of the broadest question, yet can wipe out a bunch of things at once. Sometimes he ends up tilting back a little too far, but balances himself upright. ]

Is it alive?

[insinning]

No.

[He valiantly resists the urge to splash Oria with water. It's tempting...]

[dissimulative]

Is it part of nature?

[ kyaa so valiant sinclair-kun... ]

[insinning]

No. [ If only Oria wasn't so weak to water]

--oh, should I ask too?

[dissimulative]

[ He's normal in real life though?? Wow!! ]

Sure. You can ask me three questions so you can get caught up with me.

But my next question is: is it made of plastic?

[insinning]

Can we touch it? Can we see it now? And um...is it man-made?

[There. Three questions. As for his answer:]

No.

[dissimulative]

Yes, uh...

[ Oria looks around. It doesn't look like it's around the pool area. ]

No and yes! Is it edible?

[insinning]

Yes.

[Man-made, but they can't see it hmmm]

Is it made of metal?

[dissimulative]

[ At least, not where they are... ]

Nope. Is it supposed to be cold when you eat it?

[insinning]

No. [Hmmm]

Do we use it every day?

[dissimulative]

[ Hmmmmm. Oria seems thoughtful for a moment.

It's not alive, part of nature, nor made of plastic. But it's edible and not supposed to be cold. He's tempted to say the potato dumplings, but potato is literally part of nature.

Hm. ]

Nnnno... Can people eat it in one bite?

[ ... ]

Normally.

[insinning]

[A man-made thing, can't be seen now, not used every day, can be touched and not made of metal. Thinking, thinking]

...yes. [Hmmm]

Does it use electricity?

[dissimulative]

Nope! Is it mostly considered to be a snack?

[ His feet kick a little underwater as he thinks. This is fun... ]

[insinning]

Yes. [ He'll get up and go back to wading through water. ] Is it considered furniture?

[dissimulative]

Nope!

[ Hmmm. ]

Does it normally come in different flavors?

[insinning]

Yes. [Hmmmmmm]

Do you use it to eat?

[dissimulative]

Nope! Is it a cookie?

[ Though the idea of using what he has in mind to eat is a little amusing. He definitely has this face :3c ]

[insinning]

No.

[Sinclair squints a little, and splashes Oria gently for that expression. Why is he making that face. Sinclair is clearly off base]

Mmm...is it used to carry something?
