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!]
[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.
[That is an excellent plan, Peko. But how should he take this invitation...it would be safe, right? Having someone else there...that'd be good. Maybe he could even observe her face the water and learn from example...]
Were you aiming to visit today at any point? If not, if we could go together once before the party, I would appreciate your company.
[That was difficult to type out and send but there it is. Please help him, Peko. And also please don't make fun of him but he's pretty sure you wouldn't.]

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

[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.

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

[That. That's it, apparently. That's the big secret.]
Do not try to force him.

Does he have a particular aversion to water then? Perhaps a fear of any sort?
text; 1/14
[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.

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.

[BLUNTLY... though it's more curiosity than anything else, since he'd asked if Kuzuryuu had been afraid of water.]
text; 1/14
[Meaning yes, he is scared of the water.]
Drawing near the water's edge is enough to cause my heart to seize. It's an affliction I have battled for a very long time.

Why did you agree to go to a pool party, in that case?
text; 1/14
I agreed because it was an invitation extended by Kuzuryuu.
[He wants to hang out with everyone.]
I assumed I could visit the pool in the gym before then...
[Maybe practice and try and get over this problem by the time the party came around.]
text; 1/14
I frequent the pool there, if you would like to join me.
[Maybe she can pet the Devas while she's there... yes this is a good plan.]

[She wasn't actually, but alright, he lets her near the hamsters, this is something she can do in exchange... Are you ready to train, Gundam??]
