Giving her a stare as if to say if she was sure, he laid out his hands again under the water, the action telling all that need to be said. "Go ahead and lay back, and keep doing what I said. From there...we'll see how it goes and if you get the hang out it. And if you're going to try and put your face underwater, hold your breath next time, right?"
Roxas just eyed her again emptily, his mouth and throat dry as he tried hard to swallow, staring at her blankly. It was his fault...he should have never fallen sleep, he could have saved him. Some best friend he was, he practically let him go to his death. He had stopped crying a while ago, running out of tears by now, but that didn't stop the guilt and woe that he was feeling...even if he wasn't suppose to feel. Who will he hang out with now? Who will keep him company? Maybe Roxas deserved that..it's all his fault. "I'm sorry...," he croaked weakly, as hid his face in his knees again, barely even heard. The two were the only ones left in the silent lab. Though he wondered why this girl was so broken over by it, which is why he felt he should apologize.
Axel got startled a bit, when she started coughing, and gently placed her down so her feet was balance on the floor as he slapped her back gently and repeatedly, trying to somehow help. He chuckled a little though. "Don't tell me I have to teach you how to breath too like a baby? Want me to make you blow bubbles?" Axel made sure it took on as a joke, before he truly suggested seriosuly, "Do you want to end the lesson here, or you want to continue? Swimming doesn't take a day when learning, for now, you just have to practice the position, kicks, and strokes."
OOC: Why don't you post something about Rei watching everyone's reaction? xD
Axel didn't want to lower them too far until he was sure she could keep up with herself, and noted how she was doing exceptionally well now. He nodded in triumph. It wasn't a professional stroke, but that will be later when she learned how to keep herself in the surface on her own. After that, maybe the next following days, she could try the deep end, but that depended on her progress, he'll be right next to her in caution. "Good, now try to add the kicks and stroke with a bit more strength and you'll get it. If you need a breath, stop and rest, and the continue. You have to keep practicing. When you feel you know it, tell me."
OOC: I think Reixa can go talk to Roxas now (unless she wants to rest emotionally), since he's in his emo corner xDD. Seeing as nothing out of the ordinary happened, Saïx heaved a breath, walking down the adjacent hall, and thinking of where to go from there. He had wanted to go down in the lab and see himself, but Vexen will perhaps know if what the girl said was true. And so, he portalled away into the Chilly Academic's room.
OOC: I guess...Nymph never posted though when she was here...*pouts*. I was getting all pumped for Larxene's reaction xD.
Axel was getting a bit impatient, but knowing this was going to happen, tried to cool himself down. This took time, and even though he wasn't very good at controlling his temper, he had to deal for her. But unbeknownst to her, she was in fact, doing the stroke perfectly, there's no right or wrong in it, except... "Remember at your own pace, don't just go all out now." While he was talking to her, he slowly took one inch his hands down from her stomach where he was keeping her afloat, making sure she wasn't aware, and kept her busy. It wasn't that far anyway, it was unoticeable.
OOC: Darn it, darkheart logged off x.X. Guess the whole thing has to wait for tomorrow then, or...rather, later on today xP.
Saïx was surprise at the firt attack, but that was it as he blocked again the second as it was about to hit his back in almost a inch as he jumped out of the way, taking it away completely in another direction. In a rush, he made his claymore glow brighter, and with a swift swing, hit hit her head to her skulll with a clang, not at all listening to what she said. Of course, he made sure it was controlled enough not to crack anything, but more of getting her in a dazed state, or almost blind to her vision. As he had stated before, he didn't have time for this, and he wondered why another member of the other Organization would even dare attack him in their property, especially over one of their members. This female should not even be here, and is not of her business or problem. Saïx backed off again a little, sighing, knowing there was no way the girl could manage well when driven by anger, or hate. At least Axel was concentrating. "I didn't kill him, my other side did, and as mentioned, he knew the consequences. You really are a child, and you still didn't answer if whether I should even believe you." He didn't even know if she could hear him. Starting to portal, he eyed the new one carefully, as the darkness swirled her from his view, and he found himself transported somewhere else. Saïx had no desire to deal with this, and thought over if he should send another member for the situation.
"Don't worry over it, he might like you too. But if this is what I'm seeing, it will be along time before you hook up," Axel remarked absently, paying attention more at what she was doing. Naminé was trying too hard, and she was slightly moving forward due to the propelling, but it was all frenzied. "Relax. Try to work at your own pace, take what I said, let it be controlled. And come on, Nami, you cannot go wrong with a stroke, unless moving your arms around and around is harder than I thought. Just work with what you can, instead of being too much like more expert swimmers."
Saïx just simply hit away the beam with his claymore easily, the weapon glowing white as it harnessed its moon powers. How annoying. Someone hates him, nothing new. He didn't care much for this girl, and she was just a pest to be rid of. However, what did kind of surprised him was the news of Axel's death. It didn't hit him emotionally, of course, but the news was quite shattering, since he was expecting him to make it. "I hope you know that this was what he placed, Axel knew what he was getting into, he made the deal, threw his life away when he perfectly knew that I had no control over what I do when I'm in my Berserker mode. It wasn't my fault, and if you should point blame, Axel is in that category as well. Just because you're angry at me because he's gone and happened to be precious, does not make him innocent of his own recklessness. You're just a child with that mentality." Then he raised a eyebrow, wondering if the girl was blind if she attacked him anyway, but asked sternly. "And why should I believe you?"
Axel smiled when she got it after awhile, and motioned for her to let go fully and stand up. He smirked at her pathetic attempt at denial, and said, "Suuuure you don't, and that blush is not for him right?" He stared at her amusedly, before he laid his arms in front of him, palm up, and gestured with his head to lay there, front-crawl. All that was is support, the water would take off the weight, so all he had to do is watch her. "When you lay here, just begin to move yoru arms round, I'm sure you've seen people swim, you know how it. For now, just stroke however you feel like." And then he teach her porper strokes when she gets the hang of it, and can at least keep herself up for a moment.
OOC: *pouts* You ruined my fun. Saïx barely heard a girly grunt, and since the only girl was Larxene, and this didn't sound like her, he turned around to face the new intruder, which he predicted it to be so. The weapon was in her hand, so she was looking for a fight, and if he had a heart, he would be irritated. He had no time for this. However, he summond his own weapon in his hand, backing a few steps away in case of attack, and opened up the sides again. He eyed her boredly. "What is it that you want?"
Saïx left Xemnas' quarters as he finished explaining what he had done to Axel after he had been called up, but now, everything was clear. Wallking down a hall, he wondered how have things been, and how was Axel's recovery going. It didn't matter to him whether Axel lived or not, but with Xemnas...it was going to be hard. Giving a sigh, he reached the second floor of the Hall Of Empty Melodies. In the castle it was quiet now, then again it was a bit early, maybe he should find himself in his room, or check on a few things. He walked across swiftly, leaving the spacious room and going to the next one. Thinking that it would better if he portalled, darkness surrounded him as he transported somewhere else.
Axel studied what she did and her almost slip, so he guessed he had to work slower on her. "Now remember, just tell me when you honestly are comfortable, then we can begin to swim a little...don't worry, I'll hold on to you, you'll see."If you want some type of goal to work for and keep you up, try thinking of impressing Roxas."
OOC: Heheheheh. Saïx isn't in his room..I'm wondering if I should make Reixa play a hunting game xD?
Axel nodded, forgetting everyone around at the while. "Yeah, now make it more controlled, with force, up and down...you have to keep kicking, as that propels you to float. Get it?" He watched satified as she did as told. "Now keep doing that until you feel comfortable, and tried to loosen yourhold on the edge to see how much buoyancy you have, but don't let go. When you want to swim, take your feet of the ground, and from there start. You'll learn how to stroke soon enough, but for now, kick. "
OOC: Try, um..across her dress...the upper bodice. Tifa just raised her eyebrows slyly, giving a smirk at Cloud, only to hear a bunch of laughter going on around, and people pointing. She could hear a Prep nearby say something on Larxene, and her heart jumped, immediately searching her eyes around for the female, though she really wasn't hard to spot at the moment. Tifa already knew what it was, but actually seeing it was a whole different thing, and she placed a hand over her mouth as she gasped, surprised. Damn Rei... "Oh my God..." "I have no idea," Riku shrugged at the question, wondering what was so interesting, the laughter was getting loud now, and it just made him more anxious to know what was happening. Backing away a little from Sharix hesitantly, he grabbed her hand again quickly, guiding her softly to a proper place where he could check. What was...really happening wasn't hard to see, as it was completely bright with a vulgar word written on it. When he saw it was Larxene, his jaw dropped, feeling a wave of surprise and bewilderment on his body, not wanting to believe what he was seeing. "W-what...?"
OOC: But Roxas isn't here no more >.<. Darn, just when it was about to get good. Axel heard his best friend, and stared up, giving a smile of greeting, but not wanting to give more of his presence to Naminé, since she was alreayd timid, he turned to her, giving her a reasurring look. "Don't pay attention now, okay? You can check him out all the time after this, but for now, put your hands in the edge and lift yourself up, and from there start kicking."
