Another Route [Batilde]

In the streets of Suzie Q, everything bustled hard. Kyokudou herself would be sitting in a bench near the corner of a street, not looking to capture even the slightest glance, which was all well and good, as people walked around and didn't pay attention as they were eager to move onto their next best thing. She knelt forward, running a hand through her eyes. Her hair was still cut crudely and shortened to her shoulders from the several days ago, but it was mussed up so no one could tell the difference. She also didn't wear her typical garb, which she kept hidden in another street. She was wearing a featureless shirt, and shorts cut to the ankles, without shoes. She had to "Borrow" the clothing of course, so no underclothing was possible, which both comforted and irritated her at once. She sighed and finally stood up, looking towards the nearest store. She didn't even feel like committing some petty crime, just to see if it had anything going on. As such, she walked straight into the store nearest to her, which against her better judgment, turned out to be a indoor recreational center, which contained areas to practice sports in, swim, the works. She looked around, hardly upset at this fact, and began to head towards the corner of one pool in particular to sit back. Even in a pool area the place was ever crowded, and her presence was hardly noted by most. It was strange every time she was in this mood, she always migrated towards water. Maybe it was a gimmick of hers. She always seemed to be bothered by the nights prior in many different ways. What she could have done, what she should not have done. It was all a mess. And to top it off, last night she had royally messed up; having to rely on someone other than herself to bail her out. It was weakness, or so she thought. She still let the ideas swarm over her head. Kyokudou could not calm down until her thoughts were in order, they only needed time, lots of time...

*SPLASH*

Batilde's arms broke the surface as she dove headfirst into the pool with a brilliant splash of water. She rarely got out to swim, but that didn't mean it was something she didn't enjoy doing. She loved swimming. The feeling of freedom and the waves brushing against her hair and skin was quite relaxing. Being early morning, and all that, there wasn't too many people around at the time either, so it worked out. Less people around watching her enjoying herself. Besides, the cold waters gave the girl some time to think about things that weren't school related at all.

Anyway, for those curious, Batilde was wearing a deep red, two piece bikini with black straps keeping the whole thing together. No patterns on them to speak of, but the material did look quite expensive and comfortable to wear. And yes, it was just as expensive as it looked. Despite not swimming too often, she did have a decent amount of options to choose from whenever she would go out swimming. This red one was one of her favorites, actually. It's modesty was appealing to her, and the colors complimented her skin-tone rather nicely. Sure, the white one worked better with her eyes, but red had always been a color she had been paticularly fond of.

After swimming 12 pool-lengths, Batilde climbed out of the water, and grabbed her light-blue towel which she used to dry her hair. In the middle of this process, she noticed a girl sitting near the corner of the very pool she had been swimming in... A very familiar face.

This girl and Batilde had met once previously. Batilde had caught the girl pickpocketing someone else's wallet a while back... and it didn't go so well Was this fate, by chance? Or was it just dumb luck that had brought the two together a second time? After a moment spent weighing her options, Batilde decided, against her better judgement, to approach the girl, wrapping her towel around her waist as she approached, still not completely dry yet, sitting down awkwardly next to the girl hoping to start some form of conversation. "..."

Aya looked ahead at the pool, not really at anything particular, so much to the point that she hardly noticed the girl that showed up near her. She couldn't remember the loud environment of the night where they had crossed paths. In fact she remembered even less due to the fact that she was actively trying to flee from her. She didn't notice her presence, and instead continued to stare. Her eyes began to flutter, starting to nod it off as sleep began to slowly overtake her. Just how long was she awake last night? She remembered staying up then seeing the sun....so morning. She was awake till morning. A yawn escaped her lips as her chin rested on her open palm, slowly allowing her body to tuck her mind in for the morning. She hadn't gone under yet, but she was starting to submerge.

"...Long night?" Batilde asked, looking at the teen next to her. The shadows under her eyes told their own story, and the drifting gaze betrayed that she indeed lacked sleep. A feeling she herself had gotten more familiar with than she herself would've liked. Studying til' almost the break of dawn for tests wasn't exactly anything new to Batilde. But... she somehow doubted that this girl had spent the night studying. Considering she was living her life on the streets, the thought of her actively trying to study felt off... but she had been wrong before. She'd give her a light smile, water still casually dripping every now and again from her hair.

At Batilde's words, Aya's chin slipped from her hand and onto the table, giving her an awakening more rude than she probably deserved. She turned her head slowly to the girl she recalled vaguely. Her voice sounded familiar enough. She was running from her when she had stolen some guy's wallet. She then placed her head on the table with a quiet groan. "Go away...you here to scold me or arrest me? Take it somewhere else..." she said. She sounded irritated, but due to her weariness, it didn't sound very strong her voice. Aya wouldn't put up that much of a fight if Batilde refused, but she didn't say that out loud. She turned her head to the girl with her cheek on the table, not looking at anything in particular.

Batilde chuckled lightly in response to what Aya said. "Nono, I'm not accusing you or anything, haha." Batilde replied, smiling a bit. "Uhm... Have we met before...?" She asked, even though she remembered Aya full well, but perhaps the other didn't remember their last encounter. Perhaps it was better off that way. Starting fresh.

"Uhhhhh, I dunno lady. If you're here for money then I may have taken some from you. Buzz off, if not, ugh whatever....stay I guess." She said, leaning back in her chair. "What is this place though? I think I woke up here from last night....did I miss something? Like, where even am I?" She grasped her head like she was about to get a headache trying to remember. Her head was foggy from no sleep, but the events of the night prior were slowly coming back to her. How in the hell did she end up near a pool though?
