too cold for swimming, too stubborn to stop

[Amiko]

Outside the leaves were beginning to turn shades of red and gold, a crisp autumn breeze rolled across the Xavier campus...The weather had grown too cold to swim outside, atleast for Amiko's liking. But the blue eyed Asian refused to give it up, especially with a heated pool down in the basement. She did love her swimming, it made her feel closer to her powers, though the water probably had nothing to do with the strength she's been gaining power-wise.

With a heavy black leather jacket over her blue and black swimsuit she made her way barefoot to the pool, planning on grabbing a towel when she got there.

Dropping the leather as she made her way into the pool room Amiko took in a deep breath. The room was humid from the water, and smelled a bit like chlorine. This made her feel more at home then anything in the world. Slowly walking to the edge of the pool she eyed the water and nothing else before gracefully diving in. She swam about five feet before coming up to the surface for some air.

[Sherlock LaRoux]

Sherlock had been laying on a bench near the pool fast asleep.
It was to cold outside to do anything and the children upstairs had been driving him crazy. So after being attacked for the 10th time by a swarm of little kids who wanted him to summon them a play mate((didn't they know demons were dangerous?)), he had decided to retreat down here to the basement. He had thought no one would bother him down here and he was surprised when he was awakened out of his slumber by the sound of splashing water.

"Gaah!",he said startled as he fell of the side of the bench with a loud thump.
He rubbed his head fiercely as he peered over the bench and saw a girl swimming. He narrowed his bright blue eyes at her for minute. He recognized her at least though he couldn't place her name.

Sherlock mumbled something about it being to cold to swim before he stood up and dusted off his fades jeans. They were almost to tight on him but he thought they went well with the black and gold cowboy boots he had on. His red flannel shirt was open,revealing a white tank top that had a small tear in it along the bottom. As for his hair it was completely disheveled and he had chosen to dye it blond about a month ago because he natural hair made him look older then he was.

He walked over to the edge of the pool, the metal on the boots clicking softly as he went and he stopped a few inches from the edge as he sat down and crossed his legs. He rested his head on his hands before adressing her.

"Arn't you worried about getting a cold?",he asked her curiosly.

[Amiko]

Amiko heard the voice as she surfaced. Looking around she found the source of the voice and swam closer, to use the wall to keep her up...saves alot more energy then treading water. "I would be if I was using the pool outside." She answered with a slight hint of a Japanese accent, sounding rather annoyed at the question. "If I were you I'd be more worried about ruining your boots then my getting a cold." She added, rolling her eyes a bit.

Her black hair was now wet, streaming down to her shoulders. Her blue eyes stood out rather stunningly against her Asian face, which seemed to glow thanks to the lights reflecting off the water on her skin. "If you're so afraid of catching cold what are you doing down here then?"

Amiko didn't exactly appreciate being questioned about having a swim, especially one in a heated pool, indoors. Sure alot of the kids use the pool to just have fun, she however uses it as a form of exercise. It was how she kept so slender yet so physically strong...Not strong enough to match Logan, but definitely strong enough to surprise people.

[Sherlock LaRoux]

Sherlock slapped his forehead and chuckled.
"I ment what if you wanted to go outside after swimming? Wet hair gives you a cold.",he said jokingly.

He wasnt to suprised about the response she had probably wanted to be alone as well. He looked at his boots a bit distracted before he shook his head waved his hand dissmissivly.

"They were nice and safe when I was on the bench.",he responded.

"And besides there made for some tough farm work. At least....I hope so...",he stood up and walked carefully onto the diving board and sat down.

He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"I don't really worry about being sick..Enough vitamins and anti-oxidants should keep my immune system working well enough.",he gazed at her subtly. "But I needed someplace to escape those annoying kids upstairs.",he added as he gestured up at the ceiling.

She seemed asian...If he had to take a guess Japanese? He had a decent grasp of different cultures, he himself was half french. Though his accent was very slight typically. When he got angry though it became a bit more noticable. He brushed a stray srand of hair out his face before carefully switching his posistion so that he was lying on his stomach. He let his arm dangle off the side and traced patterns into the water with his index finger.

[Amiko]

"I don't think that is much of a problem with me." She said, once again sounding rather annoyed as she ran a hand over her wet hair. As she did she used her powers to pull all the water out of it, leaving the black hair perfectly dry and a ball of water in her hand. With a flick of said hand she tossed the ball into the pool where it quickly disappeared, conforming with the rest of the water.

Her blue eyes followed him as he made his way to the diving board. She wondered if it was really a good idea to put yourself in such a position with a girl like her...Then again, she was very sure he didn't know what kind of girl she was...Or atleast the kind of girl she liked people to think she was...Which would be one tough chick who would re-arange your face for even looking at you the wrong way. What few people knew was deep under that tough shell was actually something semi-sweet.

Amiko raised a brow at the 'annoying kids' comment, wondering if he realized he was talking to a student now. Then again, she did understand...She didn't exactly like most of her classmates either. Not a big people person...Probably got that from hanging around Logan as a child.

"Well, if you are done questioning my health..." She said as she pushed herself off the wall of the pool. She let her body float in the water as she waited for either the conversation to get more interesting, or for him to leave her alone.

[Sherlock LaRoux]

"Oh.",Sherlock said with a yawn.
He was still kinda sleepy. He brushed a loose strand of hair from his eyes.
"So you can control water huh? Thats pretty cool. Even though I hate getting wet.",he chuckled.

He flicked at the water a little as his eyes drifted shut.
"What do you like the best about the accademy so far?",he asked opening his eyes again. The water reflected in his blue eyes making them look a little brighter then normal.

((writers block...XD sorry))

[Amiko]

"Once again...Strange place to be." She said with a slightly evil smirk. She was half tempted to get him wet, maybe it would liven up things...But nah, might stir up more trouble then it's worth...But on the other hand... he could barly keep his eyes open, maybe she should wake him up a bit.

She took a breath before diving under the water, using her powers to make the splash her feet created go a little bit further then normal. Far enough to splash a bit of water in his face. She moved under the water gracefully with a pleased smirk before popping her head out of the water under the diving board.

"Believe it or not...Logan-san's training." She loved spending time with her daddy...Well, legal father. And she liked that he worked her so hard, it kept her fit and deep down she knew he did it because he cared.
