She shifted to her feet and moved to her chair slowly gathering her clothes. she was grateful and it showed on her face plain as day as she knelt down and slipped her feet back into her bottoms so she could slip them back to her waist carefully. she didn't want to offer another show at the moment. next she returned the odd wrapping to her chest though not as tight as before. she decided to not put her top back on just yet.

"So yeah... no more swimming, but maybe just walking around campus. maybe you can try to explain how I could possibly have seduced you. I mean I just can't figure it out. "

She was being entirely honest as she gathered her jeans, shoes, jacket and shirt along with her swim top and bagged them up with her chair. She slung it over her shoulder and secured the knot in her wrap.

The student deserved some privacy now, this time the redhead didn't intend to humiliate her again. Her gaze only returned to her to make sure she would appear polite in a way to keep eye contact between them. It seemed odd at the moment, but for now she couldn't simply stumble back to her dorm.

Well, at first there were some signs I thought you give me, I guess I misunderstood them. But that's not all. You seemed pretty unique, so I used the chance to break your shell and reach out for hidden parts of yourself.

Ryu walked over to her blanket and remaining clothes just before she knelt down and wrapped it around her still wet skin while her hands got hold on to her clothes. She got up again and her eyes tried to reveal a possible direction to move, most likely one who'd appear comfortable for Lyndsey, not for her at all. The redhead shrugged, not knowing how to continue exactly.

Some girls are arrogant, others are pretty or educated, even polite ones are around and some prejudiced. I don't know what you are exactly, but the quantity around wasn't that interesting, it's a sympathy thing I guess. So, one thing led to the next one and so on.

She listened to Ryu simply as she stood in waiting for her 'friend'. though she understood a little better it was still all far too strange for her to process.
"Yeah, that happens to me a lot. people always think I'm hitting on them or flirting or something. to be honest I've never flirted on purpose in my life, I guess it's just my tone and style."

She explained as best she could as she moved to stand next to Ryu placing an arm on her shoulder simply. She took a deep breath looking over the beach now as she thought to herself looking over Ryu for a time before shaking her head.
"What am I? I usually go with unique. I've never fit into a label. I'm too boyish to be a tomboy, to girly to be a drag king, to negative to be an optimist, to positive to be a cynic. Not good enough to be a goody goody and to good to be a bad girl and given I don't really have a sexuality yet, I can't be called a lesbian or a hetero girl either."

She nervously laughed to no one before she'd look to Ryu then the ground the ryu again.
"Sorry again Red for accidentally seducing you. I mean well... yeah I mean you're a pretty chick and all I just well, I don't have a sexuality like I said. I can't respond to you in any way like that. I have to sorta find out that stuff first, get passed my fears and that trauma..."

Ryu placed her hand on the arm on her shoulder, just before her eyes focussed Lyndsey out of the corner of her eye and pushed it off gently. She set up a soft smile and shook her head in perplexity.
It's allright, no problem at all. Guess everyone has to make their own decisions and premonitions, but I am sorry I misunderstood everything like that.

The redhead made a step forward to increase the space between them, rather trying to think about what she made wrong instead to ignore her new company. She scratched her head for a second before she turned around to her again.
I am sorry I tried to do something you don't want me to do, there is no need to excuse yourself, it was my fault. Not used to... well, women like you. You are quite attractive and I thought everyone would have had their first experience at that age. But... yeah, you should solve the thing with your fears and so on.

She made half of the distance back to her again, her voice rather low than before because of the short range between them.
I may not be the one who could possibly solve your problems, Blue. I am quite sure about that, but I won't put the shame on myself at all, I mean, it's the way I am.

"Wouldn't expect you to think it's a problem or regret what you did. You're right, you were just being you Red. Maybe we can just walk around of whatever. Up to you really, even if you want to call it a day. I'm not going to hold anything against you. you're a good girl Red."

she seemed to be regaining her more confident slightly mischievous attitude as she looked on and stretched again looking out to the water as she awaited some sort of response. she never was one to really hold a grudge.

((sorry that it's short short on ideas for that one.))

((Doesn't matter, it's all right ^_^))

Guess it counts rather more if these words leave your mouth, Blue. Ah, yes, a walk would be great, do you want to go back to the popular area to those 'whores'? Otherwise we could walk somewhere else and I could show you around, I mean, guess you know most places already so I'd show you the landscape.

Ryu responded with a smile even if Lyndsey didn't look at her at the moment, it was a nice gesture to decrease the tension in the air for a while, they simply needed to go somewhere else for now.

Hey, there's a pretty cliff with a waterfall in the forest, it's kind of far away but it is pretty fascinating and I know a shortcut. Of course if you want, it's just an idea, you know?

She tried not to mention another student showed it to her, it had been a strange time back then but for now it didn't matter at all. It was about time to get to know each other and not to think about other acquaintances.

"Cliff with a waterfall? well that could be kinda cool. Alright lead the way Red. I'm sure if you mentioned it It's worth seeing. No matter what it's better than going back to those girls fucking each others brains into goo."

she laughed at her little comment and the mental image of a girl's brain oozing from her head. she turned back to Ryu and took a few steps forward before shoving her feet back into her shoes for the walk ahead. It would be nice getting to know the girl better in a 'not stripping and being groped' sort of way and Lyndsey really believed that.

She closed her eyes and increased the strength of her smile by Lyndsey's comment, it sounded really funny and the mental image was rather amusing even if it seemed pretty unnatural that girls could have such a condition. Ryu shook her head and opened her eyes again before her smile returned to its usual state.
Well, seems like we have to walk through the forest. Take care of yourself, Blue, the forest is kind of dangerous.

Monsters could be everywhere and it was just a fact they were also in the forest, but she wouldn't understand what it meant anyway. She quickly put on her shoes as well and made some steps towards the tree lines before she checked if Lyndsey followed her. Ryu nodded and made the first steps inside, passing the first trees before turning around again.
I mean, just because of all those loose branches and brushwood, you know?

"No prob Red, I'm pretty good at taking care of myself. usually anyway. Well lead."

She smiled stretching and adjusting her clothing a little before they'd move off her seeming her usual mix of happy and playful, was it really how she was feeling or not was anyone's guess. she stretched a bit eyes half lidded as she moved to follow Ryu joyfully.

It didn't take long for the pair to reach something like a path, of course it wasn't the one they were going to take because they'd have to walk through the forest instead of any public areas, but it was interesting to see other students how they walked by, some of them wearing a swimsuit, others simply wearing their uniform and enjoying the sun. Ryu waved as an order for Lyndsey to keep going, even though it was quite obvious anyway.

After some minutes of walking through the woods you could hear the sound of water pouring down on a surface which created a hearable noise from the distance. The waterfall itself came out from a height of about ten meters, pouring down on a small lake next to the cliff where the clear blue water spread through the air just to fade away in the high amount of water waiting on the ground. The density of trees seemed to be low around the area, giving someone a nice view from a distance. The lake itself could be reached without any obstacles, no rocks seemed to be in the water except the small pebbles at its edge and ground. The most interesting thing would be the cave behind it, but the water would be too strong if someone would try to climb in.

Ryu took a deep breath of the fresh and high humidity containing air before she turned around to Lyndsey again. Indeed, it was a nice place, but it took more time to reach it from the dorms than the beach. She smiled, still trying to ignore the earlier tension in a way while she crossed her arms in front of her chest. I'd say this is the beautiful places on the island. Well, not at all, but it's... nice and stuff. What do you think?

She followed her friend into the forest calmly not really seeming to mind the walk beside her despite what had just recently happened between the two of them. She didn't seem to pay all that much attention to the other girls they passed on the path before they left it except to notice their destination.

The rhythm of water crashing against itself began to ring out gently as they approached the falls Ryu had spoken of. it was a relaxing rhythm and a rhythm that Lyndsey had to admit she was drawn to for one reason or another. When they finally she smiled as she looked over the water now laughing to herself faintly. She viewed over the water for a time before nodding once more to herself.
"well it's pretty, I'll give you that and it's a nice sound and a great view of course."

She commented sounding rather pleased anyway as she moved simply around Ryu.
"So what do you want to do around here? other than... y'know what you were doing on the beach to me."

Ryu scratched her head lightly at that. She simply intended to walk there and rest, nothing else she intended to do anyway, but now there was another student right next to her who'd like to do something rather interesting. It was a shame she didn't bring anything with her to have lunch or anything similar compared to the silence surrounding them.

Her gaze turned around to the waterfall again, the cave was something that interested her all the time but she doubted they'd be able to enter it. Taking a swim wouldn't be the best idea after all, it may insult her company again and that wasn't her intention.
Guess competitions wouldn't be a good idea now, hehe. You can control minds I remember? If you don't mind I'd like to try if I can withstand.

Her eyes returned to Lyndsey, maybe she had some ideas as well. It was an interesting place, after all they could practice some sports but she doubted it would be enjoyable for her.
Do you have any ideas? I mean, what would you prefer to do now? I guess I am able to do many physical things.

"Well... I can't quite control minds, I can suggest things and you might be compelled to follow my word or do what I say or believe an obvious lie or something. I doesn't work as well if you know I can do it though but, I can try if you really want."

She offered with that as she took a breath and walked a bit closer to Ryu taking a breath once more she'd raise her hand in a bit of a gentle dismissive wave before the woman's eyes. she wouldn't feel anything at first but, as Lyndsey spoke, there would be an odd tingle in her spine, and a bit of an odd urge and of course the want to do exactly what she said.
"It's hot red... you want to completely disrobe, you want to give me your swimsuit and go skinnydipping."

it seemed like turnabout would be fair play if this worked.

As Lyndsey spoke something convinced her to follow her in a submissive way. I need to cool me, it is hot and I'll give her my swimsuit to do it proportionately.

The redhead removed the blanket which hid her body and removed her shoes, just before she slowly removed the swimsuit of herself without any hesitation at all. She had been still anxious about what she did earlier that day and couldn't resist the need to follow her words. With her nude body revealed, she offered Lyndsey her swimsuit and waited for her to take it. After she took it, the young woman approached the water and kept going until the water covered her skin up to her waist before she dropped herself into the water and pushed herself off the ground to float for a second before she eventually managed to swim accurately.

Not quite sure about what had just happened, she continued to swim before she suddenly turned around, it seemed like she didn't even notice she just passed her swimsuit and walked into the water, completely naked without any clothing.
As I said, the lake is slightly colder than the the ocean.

She couldn't help but laugh as she took Ryu's swimsuit in her hand as she slipped nude into the lake as the water continued to crash down into it. She spun the one piece swimsuit around a few times in her hand when Ryu had turned around to look at Lyndsey.
"Oh I'm sure it is, but wouldn't it be warmer if you had this on?"

she teased sticking out her tongue playfully as she moved to the edge of the water slipping her shoes off and kneeling down as she'd take her swim top out of her bag and slip it over her head as she looked at Ryu's nude form.
"Guess you are affected by my little mind trick huh."
