[Whoaaa. Someone is inviting him to hang out. Not only someone, but Kuzuryuu. And not only hang out, but come to a pool party? It takes him a minute to think this over though.]

Is it not still a little early for pool parties? [It's cold out still...] No matter, however. I would be glad to accompany you.

[And, a few seconds after that message, because how does pool party:]

Where is this located?

Well yeah, but that's what indoor pools are for.

[DUH.]

Entertainment District.

[This is the part where he gives more specifics about the location that I don't actually know so we're going to have to use our imaginations here.]

[Hurrah for imaginations. He jots this down, making a note to also buy some swimwear because like hell does he have any of that.]

I was not aware we had an indoor pool. What time? And...is there anything I should arrive with? Or is it not that sort of party?

[Because what is a pool party...]

I've passed it going to and from work, but I've never been inside.
She didn't say to bring anything so I'm guessing it's not that kind of party. I'm not sure if it's actually a party so much as just a group of people going together.
I'm waiting to hear back from Peko and Hinata, but I'm thinking the four of us can meet up somewhere around ten and head over there together.

Alright. Then I will simply arrive in the appropriate attire.
Ah, Pekoyama and Hinata will hopefully be attending as well? Eagerly I await, then, for the fated rendezvous point you will deem acceptable for such a meeting!

I hope you don't mean that literally. It's fucking January, please tell me you're not going to walk over there in nothing but swim trunks.

[He would think this would go without saying but it's Gundam. He's usually fairly literal.]

[There's a pause on his end.]

I will be sure to bring the appropriate attire.

[He knew it.]

Ok.
Well Peko and Hinata both said they're coming, so we'll meet at the station around 10. Sound good?

[You don't know him.]

Highly acceptable, yes.

[Oh but he does!!!]

Good.

By the way, I'm guessing this is a no but have you ever played chicken?
You know, the game where you get on someone's shoulders in the water and try and knock someone else off a fourth person's shoulders?

[No you don't!!!]

I have observed this ritual performed by mortals before, but have never taken part in it myself. Partaking in such mortal magic would have been detrimental, if not dangerous to a young demon such as myself.
Wisely I remained at a safe distance away from their ritual site, in the company of elder demons who could protect me while my barrier magic was still developing.

You are going to the pool party the young master invited you to, correct?

[Oh hello Peko.]

Correct. We are meeting at the station at ten o'clock, are we not?

Correct.

[A bit of a pause, and then--]

Did he happen to mention why he was going to a pool party in the first place? All he told me was that an acquaintance invited him.

That is all the information that he offered me on the matter. He received invitation and was allowed to invite others as well. Those "others" would be yourself, Hinata and I.
It is a little strange to attend a pool party in such chilling weather. I had assumed he would have more of an affinity with fire than ice...

[Could it be that the nine-headed dragon of his family is actually an ice dragon? Or...or is it that each head represents a different element?! Is it the head of ice that governs over Fuyuhiko?! Such a name would make that much more sense!]

[Does too!! Hence why he is not even surprised by a response like that.]

Yeah, I had a feeling it was going to be something like that.
Are you old enough to take part in it now? I need either you or Hinata to be my partner so I can kick Jakuzure's ass.

[He had a feeling it was going to be that???]

What oracle have you come into possession with? Or

[Hold on, there's another text coming here in a second. Gotta think over possibilities.]

Could it be that your cursed eye allows you to see beyond the veil that hinders normal humans? I had not considered such abilities being bestowed upon you from that incident...
Or perhaps it is San-D who has decided to bless you with her clairvoyance?
How could you have foreseen such a response, fiend? If you were ever presence once within my childhood I would remember! Yours is a face I could not easily forget!

Do I need to just stop texting you all together and stick to phone calls?
Or maybe I can mark my text somehow to let you know when I'm being sarcastic.
Because that was sarcasm, of course I didn't know exactly what you were going to say. But knowing you, I figured your answer would be something along those lines.

[Behold the power of friendship. Or something.]

You didn't answer my question though.

[Oh. Okay reading back on it he can see the sarcasm now. Right. Okay just not commenting on that and answering the question. With another question.]

You wish to have me as a partner for chicken?

The affinity does not matter.

Rather, I have a request of you. I trust you can keep this between us.

[The affinity does matter! It matters a lot, Peko. But a secret request sounds important and he at least is capable of taking things seriously when he needs to.]

If you require this to remain secret, I can assure you it will. You have my word.

The young master will not go in water deeper than his feet will touch.

[That. That's it, apparently. That's the big secret.]

Do not try to force him.

[...that's it? Actually, wait, even if it isn't that big of a deal this is pretty fortunate!]

Does he have a particular aversion to water then? Perhaps a fear of any sort?

I would not say that.

[Admit to the bocchan being afraid of something? Now that's not something she's about to do, no matter what!]

More of a personal preference.

[Ah...]

I see.

[There's a short pause before another text is sent.]

It would not be likely that I would have attempted to force him into the deeper water, in any case.

[...Peko...Peko wouldn't laugh at him for this, right? Kuzuryuu probably would, no doubt. And he'd be a little embarrassed admitting it to Hinata...]

I'm afraid I am unable to enter the deeper water myself.
