Even though it may not have seemed like it, Antoine wasn’t averse to getting wet. Far from it. Being a canine, he didn’t mind cooling off in the water every once in a while. It had been a hot summer, and he had decided that a leisurely swim in the palace pool would be in order for the day. With his combat training complete and his chores done (in spite of the fact that he could have gotten a maid or butler if he so wished, Antoine still preferred to handle his own cleaning – he could trust no one else to do it better then himself), he had some free time on the table, so he had stolen down to the pool. It wasn’t strictly for Sonic and Sally’s use; any of the royal court and their guests were free to use it when they wished. Aside from blue swim trunks, he wore nothing else. Pity he didn’t think to check and see if he was alone at the moment. |

The pool wasn't empty. The pool had a heater jet on the far end and Bunnie knew where it was precisely. She loved the warmth and the relaxation it gave her flesh. It had relaxed her so much she failed to notice the coyote until it was too late. "Oh dear." Bunnie said barely. She wasn't skinny dipping per say with her one piece taken slightly down to her tummy but wearing a bathing suit and getting direct heated pressure wasn't the preferable thing with the heat jets. Luckily she blended in nicely. But it was going to cause some water splashing to get things back to "public" mode. It took a moment but she finally got her top back on. She was still under the impression that Antione had the hots for Sally. So there was little point in trying to tease or allure him with anything. Besides, her scars became more apparent when exhibited directly open. Only Rotor had ever seen them up close. "Comin' in fer a swim?" She would be nice to Antione. After all sometimes she got lonely. It wasn't like the old days where they were all neighbors and saw each other daily. Or in some cases got on each others nerves daily. The middle of the pool was deeper than the "Front and back" portions. She'd sink like a stone. "If you're lookin' for company it's just me here tonight, shug." |

Antoine was standing on the edge of the pool, surveying the cool cyan waters. It looked quite inviting (and importantly, clean), but just as he was about to dive in, his ears picked up the sounds of light splashing, and he glanced over in the direction where it had come. Surprised, Antoine started at seeing Bunnie here. He hadn't even noticed that she was here. She looked just as surprised to see him before asking if he was coming to swim. "Oh, mademoiselle Bunnie! Uh, oui, I was, actually." Rubbing the back of his neck, he gave her a pleasant smile. "How is the evening finding you?" He asked, feeling a little awkward. He had thought he was going to be alone here today. He knew full well he wasn't exactly a bodybuilder, and hoped he didn't look too gawky in his swim trunks. |

Thank goodness he didn't see me without mah top on. I woulda died from embarrisment. She stayed hunker down though in the water. Just her head and neck visible above the water line. If she stood up all of the water would drain from her cybernetics. "How is the evening finding me? Oh! Ah get it. So far so good. Found me a warm little spot. Been havin' some sore spots so Ah figured Ah'd come down and try some heat on it. An' you shug, how y'all are?" He didn't look too goofy. He was Antione after all and how he managed to find a pair of shorts that almost matched his uniform was not unexpected but- how in the world did he find a pair? Ah guess Antione wouldn't be Antione if not for those little quirks. "If y'all are lookin' for some alone time Ah can get out. Ah done been here a half hour already." Truth- she could use the company. She was a social creature. She didn't like being alone much. Sure- she valued her privacy as much as the next in line. But books make for terrible conversations when alone. Hopefully he wouldn't shoo her away too fast. Lord only knew what Antione was here to do. Well, aside from the obvious. And atleast it wasn't the skunk. Geoffrey was tolerable but way too moody. She figured either he needed medication or a girlfriend. Antione was atleast---well---she knew him. |

With a smile, Antoine gave a slight incline of his head in Bunnie's direction. “I hope you are feeling better now. And I am well enough, merci. It is just another day for moi." Before, he was going to just dive in, but now that he realized someone else was here, he might have accidentally splashed her as a result and that have been rude. Instead, he lowered himself in before swimming out to the middle of the pool. He didn't want to make her go -- after all, she had been here long before he was, and the pool was certainly large enough for them both. "Oh no no, you do not need to be leaving if you do not wish." Poor oblivious Antoine had been wondering why only Bunnie's head and neck were above the water... wait. Was she?... Non. At least he hoped that she wasn't... Oh, he would have the luck to walk in on one of his friends while she was... naked. The mere thought made his cheeks flush red with embarrassment, but he tried to pretend that everything was alright. Yeah, he was cool as a... what was it? Oh yes, a cucumber! Not some blushing dimwit like he had been that one morning. |

Bunnie gave a smile. "Ah done found me a warm spot. Back's been givin' me a bit of trouble so rather than have'ta pay someone to put their hands on me or go out an' get a new heatin' pad or somethin'. Well, Sally-girl told me Ah could crank up the heatah an' let the water do some work on me." She saw Ant was a bit nervous. "God if he only saw me a moment ago Ah'm sure his li'l ol' head woulda burst." She thought to herself. "Ah'd join you if y'all were doin' a work out or swim out, er, whatevah, but some parts are more weighty than othahs. Ah'd sink like a stone if Ah got near that deep end right now." Bunnie liked to stay low in the water. Made her feel more normal sometimes. Here she was just another head poking up from the pool. "So what brings you down here, or do you feel like talkin?" She kinda hoped he wouldn't go into typical Antione mode and that he'd feel like catchin' up on times rather than going into a speech about the physical fitness of a royal guard blah blah blah. She did look back now on those memories with some fondness. There were recent times she'd love to hear the groans of others when Antione would start boasting about something. Living in comfort without fear from the old enemies was comforting but being able to sit on her porch and see her friends was nice. Edited by Bunnie, Oct 6 2010, 08:34 PM.

His blush was subsiding, thankfully. As he bobbed in the water, he wondered what Bunnie had been up to in order to have injured her back, but decided not to pry. “Do not trouble yourself, it is understandable.” He replied when she mentioned that she would have joined him were it not for her bionics. Antoine had long been used to his lapine cohort’s bionic limbs, but sometimes couldn’t help but wonder if she missed being able to do things like swim without worrying about sinking. But of course, he kept his questions to himself. He may have been a lot of things, but tactless to a lady wasn't one of them. And he certainly didn't want to seem as though he pitied her. Antoine wasn’t opposed to a little conversation. On the contrary, he wouldn’t mind catching up on old times either. While he appreciated the fact that they didn’t have to constantly worry about that wretch Robotnik blowing their little village or the Great Forest to bits, he felt a little out of touch and isolated from his old teammates in the immense halls and numerous rooms of the palace, even if the relationship between himself and the rest of them had been quite precarious a lot of the time, especially in the early days. “Oh, well," he casually began, "It was being very hot today, so I decided that a swim would be good." He had discovered that, more often than not, most people didn’t care for his stories. He thought his tales were quite interesting and maybe the others would enjoy hearing about them. He had hoped that hearing about being a royal guard would get the other Freedom Fighters to like him a little more then they did... but apparently it was viewed as nothing more then boring bragging. It was a rude awakening for the coyote. Not wanting their talk to become awkward and stilted, he decided to keep talking, but not about himself or his duties. “Bunnie, may I ask you something?” |

"Yeah, it was hot today. Ah guess Ah spent most of mah time inside today with the AC on." He didn't seem as nervous as he used to. Guess the war, or lack there of, will do that to a guy. Antione spoke: “Bunnie, may I ask you something?” Bunnie nodded yes, "Sure thing, Sugah. Y'all know you can ask me anythin' y'all want." |

Twiddling his fingers, he hesitated a bit before posing his question. "Well... How come you are not living in the palace?" Feeling slightly emboldened, Antoine added, "It is not being the same without you around." He hoped that he didn't come across as being too curious for his own good, but indeed, it seemed strange to have just about all of the old gang there except for Bunnie.

"Aw, y'all are sweet fo thinkin' of li'l ol' me." She couldn't help but feel for him missin' her. "Well the palace is a bit stuffy sometimes. Ah'll visit but the apartments in the part where the people live ain't mah taste. All them muted colors make it feel like a jail cell to me. Now Ah don't know 'bout you, Antione, but Ah done had mah fill of jail cells a long time ago. Sally let me have a hut, you know like the ones we used to live in, outside. Yeah it's a bit of a walk but out there Ah can have mah dark rich groundtones and decorate it how Ah want. Ah still got mah big ol' bed which you can't have in one of them little apartments. An' out there Ah can study a little. Ah know Ah ain't dumb or slow or nothin' but Ah feel like if Ah wanted to do somethin' for Sally or somethin' like that Ah should have some smarts accordin' to book smarts. And book smarts are-a what Ah'm lackin' in. So not being there gives me the ability to read and on occasions paint and do some stuff Ah don't think Ah'd be able to do." She walked over to the edge of the shallow end of the pool. "Y'all really do miss me, shug?" |

Wow. Bunnie actually thought that he, Antoine D’Coolette, was sweet? It wasn’t something that he heard from the opposite sex very often. He couldn’t help but grin sheepishly. Ah, so apparently she felt trapped within the palace. He could concede that she had a point about the palace's apartment sections. However, he had been allowed to decorate his room as he pleased (mostly with swords that hung from mounts on the walls, the D’Coolette family coat of arms, a suit of armor that had belonged to one of his uncles, and other things of that nature), perhaps that was a privilege reserved for members of the court? It was certainly different from life in a hut, that was for sure. Honestly, he preferred the palace (it had running water, for one thing), but he could understand why she missed their old homes. “That sounds very nice,” He said, his tone sincere when the southern belle talked about the hut which Sally had given her. Indeed, he thought it sounded quite homey. “Perhaps… perhaps I can be teaching you in the ways of the court?” He tentatively offered, unsure of what she would think of his proposal. “My mother was one of Queen Alicia’s ladies-in-waiting, and I could probably find some books on the subject.” Now Antoine was leaning against the side of the pool. He watched as Bunnie moved near the shallows. “Oui,” He nodded. “You were…” He paused as his mind searched for the correct expression, “like the glue that held everyone together.” And he did miss that charming accent of her’s, and the way she laughed, and her green eyes – he blinked, surprised at himself. Where had all that come from? (I've decided to play Ant as being a bit more oblivious to his feelings for Bunnie.) Edited by Antoine D'Coolette, Oct 13 2010, 12:44 AM.

"Well then it looks like we're gettin' the ol' band back together, Ant. " She was mighty proud of this turn of events. It'd be like old times, and if she got made into a court figure then she'd be able to get her some new clothes or atleast play dressup once and a while. Might be fun. The coyote had been swimming around the entire time but had stopped when he started thinking. He was keeping his distance why? If she wanted to she'd spring over to the side Antione was on- it'd be no big feat. Bunnie decided to play it coy- see where this would go. Was she actually feeling a melting come on at the "glue that held everyone together" remark? They all knew that they were interconnected and acted as a collective of sorts. The loss of any one of them would have been like putting your own eye out. If anything she was the one that held Sally's world in check on some occasions. Nothing more though. She caught him staring at her eyes. She felt a melt happening in her. Well this was different. Antione? Could she really be feeling something for Antione? The Coyote of all people? He was being compassionate and caring about her, or so she reckoned. "Come on ovah here, Antione. Let's not yell across the pool. Y'all can swim laps and such ovah here just as well. Besides- the heat jet is ovah here and Ah still ain't done workin' on mah back." She was planning something a little devious though if the frenchman played his cards right. Just a little experiment to see if what she was feelin was right. |

Coming out of his revery, Antoine was quite glad that she was willing to accept his offer. Not only would he be aiding Bunnie and getting a chance to enjoy her company, he would more or less be helping to reunite the whole group in the long run. This project would also break him out of the monotony that had life around the palace. He might have had a secondary motive for doing this. He knew that some people were still skeptical of his recent change of character. Perhaps if they heard about his helping Bunnie, they could see that he was not as self-involved as he once was? Now she had invited him over to her side of the pool. Antoine didn't see anything wrong with that -- in fact, it made sense, what with her back and all. He would just have to avoid splashing if he was to be do any swimming. "Very well, mademoiselle." He waded over to the rabbit. |

She waited as he swam over. Bunnie couldn't help but back away a little from the deep end border. She didn't want to appear as if to back away from Antione. "Ah just hate yellin' across a room an' much less a pool, sweetie." She backed up to her hot spot and circulated her back across the warm jets. "So, what's y'alls plan for-a teachin' me?" She watched Antione with curious interest now. The idea of being in close quarters with him was fascinating. He'd grown up an awful lot since their rebellious days. She knew they all grew up in a way but Antione seemed less... Antioney. He wasn't stuttering or going on and on about her best friend. Rather he was showing active effort in her well being? Come to think of it; Antione had always treated her the way a girl should be treated. "So Ah guess Ah'll have'ta pay y'all back some kinda way for, uh, teachin' me to be a proper lady." At this point she stood up in the shallow end. Standing fully the waterline creasted to just above her waist. |

"True, it is being a bit unnecessary, no?" Antoine replied. He leaned against the side of the pool, propping his elbows up on the edge. Swiveling his head, he regarded the southerner in what he hoped was a cool manner as she drifted back over to the warm jets in the shallow end. "Mes plans?" Antoine considered Bunnie’s question, slightly furrowing his brows and chewing his lip in thought. After a few seconds, his furry visage brightened. "Well, I will have to be getting some books from the royal library, but we could work on tablet etiquette, how to address the different heads of state, dance styles suited for the court, what have you. When are you having the extra time, I could come by and visit you," Now he noticed her watching him, and his ears flicked back slightly in nervousness. Did he look like a drowned rat now or something? Did his lesson plan sound silly? "Er, or you can come by the palace. Whichever is being the best for you." He quickly added. Hearing the sound of trickling water, he couldn’t help but notice she was standing now. Thankfully she was clothed, but even when sopping wet she still cut a lovely figure. Stop being a lecher, D'Coolette. He mentally chided himself. “Pay me back? Oh no, I need no money." The coyote laughed, waving her off. He would never try to extort someone like that.

She could see he was "interested". Men were so easy to read sometimes. Truth was she was beginning to desire a male in her life. Might as well "test the waters". "No no. Ah like the idea of y'all teachin' me to be a lady. An' Ah like the idea of y'all comin' to mah hut, Antione. Ah like mah cozy little place- besides it may make for nostalgia. An what Ah mean by "payin' ya'll back" is Ah can send out for dinners, or," she cracked her knuckles, "Ah do give a good backrub." God it was like dangling a chilidog infront of Sonic- thank goodness she wasn't mean cause she felt like Antione was practically wrapped around her finger. "Who knows what kind of "payments" we'll think up, Antione. Maybe for the first lesson, Ah can get us some good food, y'all bring the books. Ah got a few bottles of wine... maybe... well... you know. That'd be good right?" |

"R-r-really?" Blast, there was that accursed stutter of his again. How un-manly. Antoine felt heat creep up the back of his neck, and managed a rather nervous grin. Was this actually going where he thought it was? It seemed to be. Finally, a bit of luck was coming his way! Still though, he tended to be rather shy when it came to courting the opposite sex, which was decidedly odd considering how forward he had been in his earlier pursuit of Sally. Truth be told, he wasn't really used to being chased by a woman himself. Since he had officially decided to step aside in the infamous love triangle and taken up a position in the royal cabinet, there had been a few interested females, but nothing had ever really come of any of it. Calming himself, he cleared his throat before trying to speak once more. "Uh... I mean, that is sou -- er, sounds wonderful. I would be delighted to spend the evening with you." He tried to manage a cool smile, but it came out a rather silly grin. He hadn’t thought that his day would end up with him managing to earn a date with Bunnie, and just the very thought made him giddy. |

She grinned mentally. Showing too much emotion now might spin the table to his advantage. "Alright," she said stepping out of the pool, "Mah place, 6 to 8 y'all teach me to be a lady. Aftah 8? Well we'll just see how that part of the night progresses ovah a small little dinnah. Shall we say white wine appropriate or red?" She had gotten out of the pool and wrapped up into a towel but spent much of her "drying off" exercise venting out water from her legs and arm. She tried not to not show too much of her body off in hopes of seeing some more of Antiones reactions. The more she thought about it the more it was sinking in that she did miss the company of others a little. However she was a lady too, so any peeks he "snuck" were just peeks. Bunnie stepped over to a lounge chair at the poolside and lay down to continue her robotic drip dry routine. "Y'all really think you can teach me to be all of that palace smart an' royal knowledge type, hun?" |

“Your place at six. I can be doing that,” He nodded. Antoine was starting to revert back into his odd unusual speech patterns, but was too happy to catch and correct himself this time. He needed enough time to get ready and look presentable. Maybe he would even dress in something different! It seemed blasphemous not to wear his father’s guard uniform, but surely his father would not mind it this one time? The canine considered the wine choices put before him. He hadn’t been aware that Bunnie was a wine drinker. Generally, he wasn’t much for alcohol himself, but had heard that red wine was more of an acquired taste. “The white wine would be a good choice.” He watched as she dried off after stepping out of the pool before realizing what he was doing. Feeling his cheeks burn with embarrassment, Antoine decided that now would be good time to take study the ceiling instead. Lifting himself out of the water, Antoine took a seat on the side, allowing his legs to dangle into the clear water. “I am not seeing why not," He replied to Bunnie's last question. "You will catch on very fast. You have always been very smart, after all...” True, he hadn’t really taught anyone anything before, but, well, there was always a first time for everything. |

She couldn't help but stare at Antione as he caught a glimpse, "See somethin' y'all like, Antione?" She laughed to herself a little. It was still so easy to tease him, but she wasn't used to getting "that look". It was odd in a way, welcome in more ways than one. It was the look Sonic gave Sally. The look that Geoffrey gave Dulcy. He was looking at her, or so she thought, as a man looks at a woman. "Uh, Ah might be a tad forward in this so please excuse me. Antione, are y'all... interested in me or am Ah silly?"

Antoine's eyes widened slightly, like a pup who had been caught sneaking into the cookie jar before dinner, and awkwardly, he rubbed the back of his neck. Was she mad at him for his behavior? If so, he couldn’t really blame her. He felt a combination of guilt and bashfulness. He didn't want to look sleazy or something, but well, it was hard not to look. The Mercian cleared his throat. “No!… well… I mean...” What Bunnie said next caused him to start. "What? Oh no, no, you are not silly at all!” He held his hands up in front of him as he reassured her. “The matter of the fact -- er, the fact of the matter is... well, I think you are a very belle young lady, and I…" He could summon the ability to act urbane on occasion, but for some reason, none of that was apparent right now. Maybe it had something to do with the setting, he didn’t know. Bunnie had agreed to their “date”, so why was this so hard for him? |

Belle? Well Ah havn't been called that...ever. She smiled. "Antione... Ah may be a bit, uh, forward in this. But are y'all seein' someone or... well... Ah get awful lonely at night sometimes. Maybe... well?" She hesitated. Water continued to trickle down her legs and arm- the chlorinated fluid dripped it way out of her system. She almost seemed to mimic "flexing" muscles trying to get the water out of her completely. It came natural after so many years of dealing with these systems. But her face said it all- she was gen-u-ine in her sudden interest in Antione's "status". Edited by Bunnie, Dec 21 2010, 03:03 AM.

Seeing a smile grace Bunnie's face lightened Antoine's heart, and he waved off her concern at being too forward. Truthfully, he was a little relieved to discover that he wasn't the only one who had been feeling nervous, though when she posed her next question, his nervousness turned into euphoria. He sincerely answered, "Truthfully, no. I would be most honored to accompany you on a date." Antoine couldn't believe that someone as gorgeous as Bunnie had no male suitors. Were the men of Portal blind or something? |

Well if this just isn't an odd turn of events she thought to herself. "Well, Ah guess Ah'll be see'n you then. Mah place- 8 tonight." She was confident now she'd stopped leaking. Bunnie got up from wrapped herself in her towel at the waist. "Until then, Sug. Bon jour." |
