Hibiki frowned, watching a male were person she had rescued jump into the lake like it was his own life source. She clapped her hands several times, and then finally whistled with her two fingers in her mouth to get his attention. "... Shouldn't you take your clothes off for that? You're going to catch a cold.", She said with a frown, slipping off her dress to reveal a plain bathing suit.
She watched him swim across the lake quickly, then run down the dirt road that led to the next village. So, he's going home..., Hibiki thought, swiftly taking off her lacy dress to reveal a regular white bathing suit. She hopped into the clear river with a small sigh, watching the fish that was next to her scatter.
"Take care...", She called toward him, folding her clothes. Hibiki put her dress down and took off her glasses, putting them on the dress before jumping into the lake herself. Regardless of the cold temperature, it was refreshing and reminded her of a new start for the were boy.

Sol had never been to a lake before; in fact, the only "fresh water" he'd ever swam in was a crappy public pool the nuns had taken the orphans to once or twice. So now that the prospect of swimming in this shimmering, perfect lake had arisen he couldn't resist. The only thing he had to swim in was his ratty shorts, and he knew they were falling apart and probably wouldn't last much longer if he decided to swim here constantly.
At that moment, he was completely underwater; it was like being in another world, away from all the shit he had to deal with above the surface. He watched fish dart by, and the bubbles that endlessly seemed to float around. He drifted a little lower in the deep section he was submerged in, and he didn't notice at first when his foot got caught in what appeared to be some weird lake weed; but when he realized he had to take another breath of air, he tried to swim to the water's surface and was stuck. He struggled fiercely, which only caused him to open his mouth and let water enter him; the last thought he had before he couldn't remain conscious was that the nuns would never let him drown in a cruddy public pool...

Hibiki held back screaming when she felt something on her foot. It didn't feel like the sandy lake, it felt like skin! She dove deeper, her eyes widening. At a certain depth she couldn't swim any deeper, but still... What if it was a rare, undiscovered animal? Hibiki examined the body, then felt mild disappointment. It was just a body. She did a double take almost in shock, then looked down. It seemed like he was just standing there, which was odd because most would float to the surface.
She shifted her weight and swam deeper, feeling the tips of some long weeds before coming in contact with the skin again. Hibiki stared at Sol's leg for a moment before unraveling his leg and giving him a swift push, which sent him up toward the surface. She slowly followed where his body was going, and carefully brought his head to the surface once she spotted his body. While moving her feet to keep them both afloat, she tried many attempts to wake him up, but eventually settled with slapping him a couple of times.

Sol coughed and sputtered when Hibiki slapped him, and he swore he had never seen so many colored dots swimming in front of his eyes since the last time he'd had acid. He turned his face away from Hibiki and promptly spat up the water that had invaded his chest before he started shouting. "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?! You slap people around like that all the time, lady? Ever heard of CPR?!"

"You wouldn't wake up, I tried almost everything- including CPR.", Hibiki said with a raised eyebrow. "So I decided to resort to hitting you instead of forcefully getting the water out of you and breaking a rib, if you don't mind." She put her hand on Sol's forehead, actually getting a worried expression. "Are you okay? Aside from your cheek, of course."

Sol looked dejected, and he calmed down. He was still breathing pretty heavy, and the right side of his face had actually turned a bit red from the slapping. He was a bit surprised by Hibiki's almost homely gesture, and her hand on his skin made him turn a little redder. "Yeah...yeah I'm fine now. Sorry I shouted, lady...I was freaked out."

Hibiki smiled at his apology. "It's alright, as long as you won't pass out on me... I'm Hibiki, good to meet you.", She said, seeing her home behind him just a running distance away. "Do you need to warm up? You sound pretty tired."

"Warm up? Yeah, that would be great." He realized he was shivering a little and he rubbed himself to get warm. "Ah, and I'm Sol."

"Okay.", Hibiki said warmly, swimming toward the nearest edge of the lake. Though it wasn't close to her house, it would be better to walk farther than to swim. "My home is the large one to the north east, Miss.", She said with a small smile, getting her clothes and glasses from the shore.

Sol was about to thank her, but when he heard Miss he twitched involuntarily. He growled angrily, "What'd you call me?!"

Hibiki looked back at Sol curiously. Of course she didn't see his chest or face very well, so she didn't know his gender. "What do you mean?", She asked, putting her glasses on so she could see Sol more clearly. After staring at him for a minute, she sweatdropped. "Ah... Oops. I'm sorry, I couldn't see you and I just assumed..."

Sol stomped out of the lake in exasperation and did a turn to show Hibiki he didn't have any hidden girl parts. He put his hands on his hips and shook his head, which sent drops of water scattering everywhere. "Dammit, you know this has happened to me so many freakin' times it gives me a hernia."

Hibiki smiled sheepishly, "I'm really sorry about that... You have a right to be angry, it must be humiliating to be mistaken as a girl. But I'll bet some uke out there would kill for your looks.", She said with a sigh, ringing out her hair. She smiled at Sol, walking slowly back to her house. "Shall we be off then, Sol-san?"

Sol was going to protest the uke comment, but he figured it wasn't worth the effort. He sighed and dropped his hands to his sides. He hiked up his shorts, which were starting to slide down his hips and said in exasperation, "Let's go then. Lead the way, lady."

Hibiki hid a small laugh and starting walking toward her house, eventually stopping in front of it after a couple of minutes. "Here we are.", She said, opening the door to her cozy home. She took off her shoes, got a blanket from the couch and wrapped it around Sol. "Would you like something to eat or drink?", Hibiki asked with a small frown, eventually looking down at his shorts. "... Or some new shorts?"
