Now dance fucker dance
Man he never had a chance
And no one even knew
It was really only you
[/size][/center] The sun was high in the sky and it was terribly hot, so it was perfect for a swim. Quickly making her way over to the beach Sara slipped off her clothes revealing her black bathing suit. Happily she threw down her belongings before she began walking down to the water, the constant crashing of the waves made her feel safe. letting her feet get wet first Sara cringed despite the heat the water was cold. Though she didn't want to go back home with out at least getting in, how lame would that be. So deciding to man up Sara walked further out until the water was above her waits, and that when she decide to dive in.
The cool water felt good against her skin, it chased the heat away. Coming back up for air her long ebony hair clinged to her head.After a while of swimming she decided that was enough, so she set up her towel on the soft sand and laid down. It was time for her to get some sort of a tan, her skin was white. To white for her taste, she could blend in with a white wall.ok not really but that's how she felt. Closing her purple eyes Sara sat enjoying to heat.

Lauren Winchester made her way down the beach, irritated by her hair constantly falling every which way, not properly obeying her. She had searched for Akio but found him nowhere, forcing her to give up on her search. She had decided to return to being 'Rex Coelestis'. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite that simple.
As she entered her clan, she was warned not to touch 'Rex's things' because he might come back and be mad to see his belongings taken away. As for Lauren, she just barely managed to escape before they started asking too many questions.
Coupled with the lack of a war currently going on, Lauren sighed, depressed as ever and took a seat on a bench overlooking the sand. She warned herself not to fall asleep in order to avoid a sunburn.
Staring out into the ocean, she noticed a girl in a black swimsuit. Lauren mulled over speaking to her for a bit, for quite some time...

Tekka had always wondered why little things like forgetfulness led to such huge problems. For instance, she had forgotten to watch a clanmate's breakfast burrito in the microwave and it burst into flames, sending Tekka running for her life. She didn't think anyone knew that it was her fault, and she intended to keep it that way.
The little blond had somehow, rather miraculously, made it to the beach, far from the Tora HQ and any mad clanmates. Well, the Tora sitting on the rock looked like a Tora, but she didn't appear to be mad, whoever she was. Still, looks could be deceiving and it was better to avoid a fight completely than run away with a black eye.
So Tekka sat on the dunes humming softly and trying to figure out why the woman watching the waves seemed so familiar.
And then it hit her.
She hopped up from her spot on the dunes, and jogged over to the rock tapping the woman's arm. "'Scuse me, ma'am," She said, attempting to use any sort of little kid charm she could muster. She was a little unsure of how friendly this woman would be if her hunch was right. "I'm Tekka, do you mind if I ask you something?"

She looked over at the raven haired beauty and finally decided to make an approach and introduce herself when a short blonde girl managed to draw her attention.
"Hmm? How may I-" she stopped, recognizing the girl. Lauren had recalled barking orders at her to take over the Deepsea Tides. Granted, it didn't look like she had accomplished it, but she couldn't really be blamed, after all Rex had failed quite a few endeavors herself.
"Uhh..." a clearly uneasy look about her as she spotted the blonde, but tried to regain composure instead of brilliantly sprinting away.
It took her a second to process what Tekka had said.
"I'm Tekka, do you mind if I ask you something?"
"W-well..." she smirked sarcastically. "Didn't give me much of a choice there did you?" She laughed, unsure if the joke had gone over Tekka's head or not. "How may I help you?"

Tekka rolled her eyes inwardly at the joke, like she'd never heard THAT one before. She put on a grin outside though, it was always good to be underestimated after all. "Well I was wondering if you were related at all to a guy named Rex. You look like him is all so I just sort of thought..." She trailed off and shrugged, waiting for the response.

"Uhh..." Lauren began, nervously.
It might actually look quite worse then she intended. Sure, finding out that their beloved Rex Coelestis might have died would be a crushing blow to the Tora Clan, but finding out that their legendary male leader actually fled from the army in cowardice, and was now some crossdresser would look even worse for her.
So she thought up a lie, and she thought it up quick. "Act-ually... yes." she began. "Don't tell anyone but... he's my twin brother. You see, he's some soldier in the army, whereas I'm just a medic." she wasn't sure if Tekka was aware that 'Rex' was originally a medic, but she knew saying that wouldn't hurt since she could easily pass as a medic, since she was one.
"Anyway, you're not supposed to tell anyone because..." she stopped to think about it. "Since he's fighting in the war, he was certain he'd have dozens of enemies, and he didn't want any of them attacking his dear sister to get back at him. You know, those he defeats in duels might think an equal revenge would be to kill his sister."
That sounded convincing enough, and perhaps she could even get Tekka to work for her. But more on that later. "I haven't seen him in a while though..." she began. "Any word on your end?"

Tekka's mouth formed a small 'o' as she listened to the woman's story. Inside though, the gears were turning. It certainly made enough sense, but if this woman was wearing a tora bracelet, why had Tekka never seen her before? She wasn't unobservant by anyone's standards. Still, she kept these thoughts inside for the moment and let a child-like innocence seep through the outside. She had been in a coma for a month after all, she certainly could have missed something.
She shook her head at the question. "Haven't seen hide nor hair of him since the last clan meeting. Sorry..." She blinked and realized that she didn't know what to call Rex's sister. "Uh, what should I call you Miss Rex's Sister?"

Sara could feel her skin getting hotter, she knew there was going to be a sun burn if she didn't move. Deciding to get up she put on her dress to at least cover something, sun burns where horrible. Grabbing her purse quickly she didn't know what she was going to do know, today had been incredibly slow.So she pulled out her cards and moved to a slight shadier spot, though shade was quiet rare at a beach, go figure. Siting down she fanned out the cards on the soft sand. Sara had been intently studying them for a while when she heard to voices. Quickly she looked up and around to see where they came from.
There were two girl not to farm from where she was, no here was the hard part. Choice one sit here all alone, or choice two go make friends unless they are rather hostile then that could end up in a duel. Either way Sara liked the odds, clearly she chose the second. Gathering her scattered dragon deck Sara ran over to the two, but as she neared them it didn't seem like they were friends.
"eh-hi do y'all mind if I sit with you? It's kinda lonely here, oh and I'm Sarafina. But please call me Sara."
She realized she was slightly rambling but who cares she was nervous give her a break. Smiling she watched the two as she waited for a reply. Habitually her fingers played with the cards resting in her hands.

(OOC: Rex was in a coma for a while too! <3 )
"Hmm... it's strange for my brother to be gone for so long without saying a word to his sister." Lauren began. "You don't think he could be..."
Lauren could never quite master fake crying. She tried to will it, but she could barely even manage to look sad. At last, all attempts to emote were nulled when a third participant asked to join them.
"Uhh..." Lauren began, recognizing her as the girl she had spotted. "That's... fine by me." Lauren moved over to make room for the girl on the bunch.
She looked at both Tekka and Sara. "You may call me... Lauren Winchester." She started.

(OOC: Coolio! ^^ *high-fives*)
Tekka was a bit surprised by Sara's appearance, she hadn't seen the Ookami on the beach at all. Then again, her attention had been focused on Lauren at the time, so it was an acceptable oversight. She smiled at the girl though. "Well hiya there Sara, my name's Tekka!" She held out a hand for Sara to shake, giving the friendliest grin she could muster.
"So what brings everyone to the beach?" She asked, swapping topics to give everyone an opportunity to talk.

"Well..." Lauren began. "I was just walking about casually and trying to enjoy the sun. I got here just before Tekka did it seems.
She looked at Sarafina. "And it seems our friend here was enjoying a swim before we got here." She blinked, before realizing what she said. Sara was clearly fully dressed and it'd be impossible for Lauren to know she was swimming unless she watched her earlier.
"Uhh... or so I'm guessing! I mean... what else would one do at the Deep Sea Tides?" She awkwardly rubbed the back of her neck, smirking.

Watching the girl scoot over Sara took the chance to sit down. Smiling as she looked over at the blonde who seemed to be talking Lauren originally. After the blonde introduced herself she stuck out a hand, clearly for Sara to shake. So she did, gripping her hand rather firm Sara believed in good strong hand shakes, no girlie dainty things.But then tekka asked a question before Sara could speak.
Sara opened her mouth to speak once more but Lauren spoke instead, looking rather shocked how did she know that. Sara hadn't realized that anyone was even here.
"well it's nice to meet y'all and Lauren is right I came here for a nice swim and hoping to get a tan, but sadly I can feel a burn.There goes all my hopes."
She said jokingly, a smile rested on her scarlet lips. Looking back at Tekka, she wondered.
"and what about you?"

Tekka grinned and spoke, making up a story as she went. There was another Tora here after all, couldn't have the burrito story told just yet. "Well, I was in the Mystic Wok for breakfast, and the food was taking awhile to come out so I went into the kitchen to see how it was going. Just then," She made a slightly-dramatic motion with her hands, popping them open from closed fists like starbursts and then bringing them together. "I noticed a lone wallet sitting on the counter top, filled up with money."
The blond shrugged, the drama suddenly flying out of her and running away at top speed. "So I took it, the money I mean, I left the wallet. The guy who owned it prolly saw me cause he came at me with a butcher knife, so I bolted."
She looked down at her shoes, paying particular attention to the small holes along the edges and the laces. "I would have gone to the forest, but last time I did that to avoid an angry chef I got my shoes eaten by squirrels." It was strange that the most ridiculous part of her story was the only really true part.
