No, I didn't really look for that. Do you think we have buckets?

[Finding crabs and fish can't be too hard though, right?

In the spirit of fun, Lea won't mind him splashing him in the face.]

[by_heart]

[Lea spits and rubs the water out of his eyes, then shoves Roxas down into the water in earnest.]

Of course we do! Lucky you playing around on that skateboard every day while the rest of us work our asses off.

[Buckets for swabbing the deck, buckets for fishing for food, buckets for everything...]

[heartismyown]

[He lands with a big splash which leads him to yelp in surprise.]

Hey!

[He splashes again, jerk.]

I do all kinds of work!

[by_heart]

Yeah? Nothing involving buckets, obviously. Bet you couldn't even find one if I told you to go look.

[This is, possibly, the only way they're going to get a bucket without him going to find one himself.]

[heartismyown]

I could so find one!

[Oh Roxas. Rising to the bait so easily.]

[by_heart]

Really? Where? I don't think I believe you.

[Lea crosses his arms and frowns skeptically. Of course, it's totally faked, but Roxas doesn't have to know that.]

[heartismyown]

I'll be right back!

[Naturally Roxas is going to prove he can do it, so he head back to the ship. It isn't going to be that hard to find a bucket after all.]

[by_heart]

[When he finally makes his way back, Lea is crouched down in the shallows, poking at the sand and seeing what he can scare up. It's been ages and ages since he's been to the beach, but he hasn't forgotten how to be a menace to sea life everywhere.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas puts the bucket down triumphantly.]

See? I found a bucket, no problem!

[He grins brightly and crouches down to look at what he's doing.]

Did you get anything? What do you do?

[by_heart]

Depends on what you're looking for. Either you gotta look in the water and see what's crawling around or you gotta poke through the sand.

[He pushes one hand into the sand and feels around until he hits something with a smooth back and way too many scrabbly little legs.]

Gotcha! See?

[He holds up the sand flea for Roxas to see. It's a big one, so he's rather pleased with himself over it.]

[heartismyown]

[He grins and nods.]

That's pretty cool! What else can we find?

[Roxas pokes his fingers into the sand, digging around carefully to see what he can find.]

[by_heart]

Crabs, probably. Some little fish, but those are hard to catch. If you wanna go looking for tidal pools, we might be able to turn up some starfish or sea urchins or something.

[Lea watches Roxas to see if he'll turn up anything.]

Just look out for jellyfish.

[heartismyown]

What do jellyfish look like?

[Doesn't sound like something he wants to mess with. Roxas gets ahold of something and he pulls it out revealing - a stick!

He stares at it.]

Well this is useless.

[He chucks it over his shoulder into the water.]

[by_heart]

Jellyfish look like lumps of clear jelly with long strings coming off the bottom kinda. They sting, so don't go picking them up.

[Lea fishes around and pulls up some empty seashells. They'd have to go out deeper to find anything inhabited, probably.]

[heartismyown]

Oh, I want that.

[Roxas reaches for the seashells. He isn't sure why, but apart from his collection he's left with a lingering peaceful feeling. However he got them, it was really nice. That much he could tell.]

Let's find a fish!

[by_heart]

[Lea hands them over, then stands.]

Alright. Well, first you gotta stop splashing around and stirring everything up or you'll scare 'em off. Gotta sneak up on them.

[He plants his hands on his hips and looks up and down the shoreline. Shouldn't be too difficult to find something.]

[heartismyown]

[The shells are destined for his pocket and he nods a bit, putting a finger to his lips. Roxas can be quiet and not move around much. He peers into the clear water curiously.]

[by_heart]

[Lea wades slowly through the water, shielding his eyes from from the sun with one hand and trying to see what he can scare up. He ends up having to go a little deeper in, almost up past his knees, but he manages to find a small school of colorful fish. He waves a hand to call Roxas over, careful not to make too much of a sound and scare them off.]

[heartismyown]

[Roxas was going to put an evil plan in motion, but it can wait until Lea least expects it.

He wades in quietly behind him, peering around him into the water at the fish. It's pretty cool, actually.]

[by_heart]

There're your fish. They bite, though, just saying.

[Not that it really hurts much unless the fish is big, which these aren't. He can tolerate a few nips on his shins if it means watching fish for a while.]

[heartismyown]

Do you think we can catch one? Are we supposed to eat them? They seem kinda small.

[by_heart]

Nah, we don't eat this kind. You might be able to catch one if you're real quick with the bucket, but I dunno. It's easier to get a rod and fish for bigger ones.

[They could probably catch some pretty interesting things here. Like, not the sort of nature documentary-level weird things they pull up in the nets on the ship sometimes, but something he could cook, at least.]

[heartismyown]

[The little fish are cute and he's quiet looking at them for a moment. Well if they can't eat them and if he's not going to catch them, then it's time to play.

Out of nowhere, Roxas throws himself bodily against Lea to get him in the water.]

[by_heart]

[It's the last thing Lea expects, so he's left tumbling face first into the ocean, scattering colorful fish every which way. Seconds later, he surfaces, scrubbing stinging salt water out of his eyes and spitting. His hair, it's important to note, still somehow manages to be sticking every which way.]

What the hell?! You're gonna pay for that one!

[Because Lea has long legs and Roxas is probably too busy being smug to notice his own legs being swept out from underneath him.]

[heartismyown]

[When he announces that Roxas is going to pay, he laughs and tries to make a break for it, but Lea is tall and he doesn't get far so he crashes into the ocean, just like Lea did.

He surfaces with a gasp and a cough, thanks to the laughing he may have swallowed a bit of water. Oops.]
