Erikos laughed at that. "Yeah, you probably shoot godly lightning bolts or something. Maybe even a big scythe or something," he laughed

"Maybe," Daus hummed as if he were in thought, a bright smile tugging the corners o his lips up. Only now did he actually realize that Erikos was one of the only people that had made him smile in a while.

"I mean, you live in the underworld, which pretty much automatically means you've got a scythe. That's like, a built in thing," Erikos said, reaching for a glass of milk and taking a sip

"Scythes and other things too," Daus added, making small replicas of the weapons he used with a sort of wispy, white shadow flitting around the palm of his hand. It became a scythe at first, but quickly dissipated into a long, shadowy sword before he called off the smoke.

“Ooh,” Erikos said, grinning as he watched Daus’ smoke. “Vien can do things like that, too,” he said, gesturing to Vien

Daus nodded as he closed his hand around the smoke as it faded away, glancing up at Vien for a few short moments. Something about the taller boy's icy stare made him a tad nervous, but he knew that there was nothing bad about them.

Vien eventually wandered off with Baal, leaving the other two to their own devices. “So, got any ideas for how to spend the day?” Erikos asked Daus

"No, not really," Daus answered, shrugging a bit as he leaned forward on his elbows and rested his chin on the palms of his hand. "What do you do for fun here?" He asked, deciding that it could probably help them come up with some ideas.

"Depends," Erikos said with a shrug. "Swimming and fishing mostly. Sometimes I get to go out on the boat, though dad's out fishing so that's out of the question."

"Swimming? I bet you're great at that…being a water demon and all," Daus said as he looked towards Erikos, tapping his fingers on the table's wooden out of habit. He had swum a few times before, though he wasn't the very best at it.

"Only half a water demon, but yeah, I'm pretty good at swimming," Erikos said with a small grin. "I can surf too, and dad's got water skis around here somewhere."

"I bet…I could beat you if we swam," Daus teased, already knowing that he would easily lose, though he loved seeing Erikos grin at the thought of swimming. He flashed a taunting, lopsided grin, hoping that he wouldn't look like an idiot if he actually did swim.

"Oh you're on, twig boy," Erikos said, flashing him a smug grin. "Hope you've got stuff to swim in, because we're going swimming right now!" he exclaimed before getting up and jogging into his room

"Unfortunately, I forgot to bring a suitcase when I wound up unconscious next to a river," Daus answered, getting up as well and following after Erikos. He chuckled at the name Erikos seemed to enjoy calling him now…so he might as well come up with one for the other man as well.

"Well, you're kinda spindly but I'm pretty sure you could borrow a pair of mine," Erikos said, walking over to his dresser. He began to rummage through the drawer until he pulled out a pair of white and blue swim shorts and a pair of smaller black swim shorts. "Here, try these," he said, tossing the black ones to Daus

"Thanks," Daus said, nodding as he caught the black swim shorts, deciding that they must easily fit him. "Do you have a bathroom I could change in?" He asked after a long pause, glancing around before looking back towards Erikos.

"Uh, yeah, bathroom like two doors down," Erikos said, pointing before beginning to take his pants off. He didn't appear to have any issues with this, which was a little odd

Daus said a quick thanks before he spun around, intent on not letting Erikos see how red his face seemed to get. Why are you getting so flustered? he thought, shaking his head faintly as he made his way towards the bathroom. After a few moments, Daus made his way back in the swim shorts, holding his shirt in his hands as a few stray tattoos were revealed on the bare skin of his back.

Erikos had gotten changed already, the white of his shorts standing out against his dark skin. "Looking good, my man. Now, how about we watch you flail around in the ocean for a bit?" he taunted, a sly grin crossing his face as he struggled to distract himself from the other's torso

"Flailing? I'd call it drowning," Daus joked as he punched Erikos' arm playfully, the act more like a light brush against the other's skin. He felt a bit subconscious as he tried to maintain his gaze on Erikos' face, though it was proving to be a bit hard.

"Well, then I'll just have to save you," Erikos chuckled before grabbing his sandals. He slipped them on before walking out of the room, waving goodbye at Vien before walking out the front door

"That should be easy. I probably weigh two pounds for you," Daus added, laughing a bit as he followed after Erikos, excited to go swimming. He hadn't been close to water, much less an ocean in a long time.

"You probably do, twiggy," Erikos teased. He walked along the river, humming as he did so. The water was relatively clear, with a few canoes further downstream. He followed it towards where it opened into the ocean, smiling as he walked

"I'm going to come up with a nickname for you…someday. If you actually ever do something embarrassing," Daus answered, a teasing tone in his voice as he walked alongside the river, reaching down to touch the water every once in a while. A few, rare smiles brightened his face as he splashed Erikos, continuing to walk towards the ocean.

"But you see, I don't do anything to embarrass myself. At least nothing noteworthy," Erikos chuckled. They eventually reached the beach, the horizon dotted with ships here and there. "Last one in is a rotten snail!" he called before bolting off towards the water
