Dirk had handed her a plain box with an address written on it and asked that she make sure it was delivered before diving back into his work. In the typical way of assumptions, Dirk figured she knew he wanted it couriered over and Feferi figured that he meant for her to take it herself.

The box, taped shut, made a slightly metallic sound when she shook it gently. 'Roxy' said the address, further piquing Fef's interest. Dirks intention of her having the package couriered over bubbled away unnoticed as Feferi, grinning, strapped the box into her passenger seat and drove off to hand deliver the intriguing thing and see who this Roxy was (and to see what Dirk was sending her).

Feferi was dressed casually with a black tanktop and jean shorts over a pink bikini with matching pink sandals. Summertime was beachtime and Fef never knew when she would be near enough to a body of water to go swimming. Brightly colored bracelets rattled on her wrists, the light catching on the gold band around her forehead as she carted the box up to the front door and rang the bell, grinning and bouncing on the balls of her feet as she waited for the door to open. The doorbell sounded oddly like.. meowing? Except it continued long after a doorbell usually would.

Oh, hello. The waist-holding was something Roxy was definitely open to: the lingering tension in her gut from earlier was uncurling bit by bit, leaving her rather receptive to the physical affection. Roxy was a cuddly person as a general rule, anyway, which was what made her cats so great.

"I will teach you everything there is to know about cooking," Roxy promised, finding her hand easily slipped onto Feferi's shoulder. It made her a bit nostalgic for the days that she would use the top of her short friends' heads as "arm rests:" she might pull out the move on Feferi later on, after a few months of dating and I love yous to ensure that it wouldn't get her broken up with. Granted, they weren't officially dating yet, but it seemed like there might be something worthy of pursuing. "By the time I'm done with you, you'll be able to make pasta by hand and make the most bangin' of turkey dinners."

Feferi's palm felt warm in hers, and Roxy could feel her grin only get wider. The sun outside made her glad she had sprung for a hat, and doubly appreciative that Feferi had a pool that they were going to dip into. Before Roxy could muse further, she found that both of her hands were getting held hostage by a cute girl, and whoops okay maybe she should listen instead of marveling at how cute Feferi's face was.

"Can't say I ever really learned proper diving procedures," Roxy admitted, folding her thumbs over the back of Feferi's hands. "Gonna have to take you up on the floaty toys, though. Kinda hard to initiate a deep-grudged SPLASH WAR when you've gotta devote two or three limbs to stayin' upright."

Feferi smirked, squeezing Roxy's hands briefly before extricating herself. She could have used a water tendril, but she was trying to remember not to use her water control in front of Roxy yet. The secret of super powers affected more than just herself and Roxy was just the sort of sharp-eyed clever girl who could blow the lid right off of this.

Feferi turned with a swirl of hair, bouncing over to a low chest made of the same stone as that underfoot. The lid lifted without a sound and, with a practiced flick of her arm, Feferi flung a flat lounger into the water, then some noodles and some brightly colored weighted sticks in as an afterthought. They sank with a splash, revealing just how deep the pool was. It might as well have been a pit, at least 10 feet deep.

She grinned as she returned to Roxy's side with a pink inner tube. "For you," she said with a grin, then held it behind her back, rising to the balls of her feet as she leaned in toward Roxy, a coy look on her face. "...If you can tank of somefin good to give me in exchange." Her eyes flicked between Roxy's eyes and Roxy's lips, biting her own absently but making in abundantly clear what sort of thing she was hoping for. She fully intended to backpedal if Roxy looked uncomfortable, but sometimes you had to take a risk if you wanted a gorgeous girl to kiss you on the mouth.

While Feferi tended to the floating goodies, Roxy began laying out her towel and took the opportunity to spray her sunscreen on. Ever since she had fallen asleep outside when she was younger and gotten a case of sunburn, she had always been careful to lotion up; plus, skin cancer didn't sound like a fun time, no matter how great the time would be getting it.

She was fiddling with her skirt when Feferi at last returned to her side; at the offer of a trade, Roxy raised her eyebrows up and cast her skirt aside near her towel. She counted on the proximity to keep Feferi from scoping out something that wasn't quite her business (yet).

"Hmmm. Shit, you drive a hard bargain, girl," Roxy hummed, her hands sliding onto Feferi's waist. She only had to bend her elbows the barest amount to get her hands properly into position; perk of having a tiny partner, she guessed. Her knees bent as she stooped, her face stopping just a few inches above Feferi's. "You forgot somethin' you really should've taken into consideration, though."

Roxy grinned and tightened her grip around Feferi's waist. "I am one HELL of a sneaky-ass rogue."

With a push of her toned legs, Roxy jumped into the pool, limbs locked around Feferi so they both hit the water at the same time to the tune of Roxy's laughter.

Feferi's eyes had been closing as she leaned into Roxy when the other hurled them both into the pool. The water was deliciously cold, tasting familiarly of salt. Feferi felt her cheeks burning at how completely she had been taken by surprise, expectations defied.

She darted to the surface, kicking her feet automatically. The salt water buoyed them up more than pools usually did, letting them bob around on their little sea. Feferi tried to maintain a pokerface as she arrowed through the water toward the drifting innertube and popped up through the center of it. She tipped forward, tube vertical and around her hips as she kicked back over toward Roxy, ass up in the air as she tried to look stern and feign a glare at the blonde. "GLUB no innertube for YOU then!!" Feferi tried to say coldly, though her mouth fought her, a grin tugging at the corners of her mouth, having to fight down giggles as well.

It was hard to look terribly dignified while ass up and floating on a pool, having to paddle her arms to keep her face out of the water, hair spreading out around her like water weed, looking like more of a mermaid than usual. "Serves you right," Feferi said primly, arms churning under the surface like duck legs paddling to keep her upper half upright as she smirked at Roxy. The other floaties had spread out across the surface and Fef used a quiet nudge of her power to set them drifting as far away as possible, which in a pool this size was pretty far.

The temperature of the water was a shock to Roxy's system, but she acclimated to it quickly. She was much slower to reach the surface than Feferi, as she hadn't swam in some time, but she reached it soon enough with a grin unsmeared by the water. Thank god for Lip Whips; they were a goddamn miracle to stand up to the swimming.

The first glance of Feferi's face informed Roxy that she had quite possibly fucked up. As the other woman drew closer, however, she was relieved to find a grin fighting to work its way onto her expression.

Roxy tried her very best not to laugh too hard at the way Feferi was floating, but the glee ran uncontained in her voice. "Aw, damn, you ruined my master plan by bein' good at swimming. How could I've overlooked the fact that you can kick my ass in the water? I am sufferin' from the foiling over here. Just wrap me up in aluminum right now," she concluded, treading water until she and Feferi were closer to one another.

It was an odd thought, but Feferi definitely reminded Roxy of her cats back at home: they were always on the hunt for affection and hanging around hoping to receive it, but they could get bratty when it was denied (only to soon come looking for more). Roxy hummed in thought before flicking her wrist, sending a small amount of salt water towards Feferi's face. "You totes fell into my trap, though: now that you're in the tube, you can't defend yourself from my AQUATIC AGGRIEVANCES."

The splash of water made her laugh, abruptly stopping her arm motions and tipping forward so she dove straight down into the water, the tub left floating forlornly as Feferi slipped into the water like a seal, barely a splash behind her.

Fef's feet brushed the bottom of the pool as she wrapped a hand around one of Roxy's ankles as it churned past, squeezing for barely a second before zipping away before flailing could result in her being kicked accidentally.

Feferi began to circle Roxy, grinning and sharklike and completely forgetting that normal humans have to come up for air as she occasionally brushed Roxy's foot or a hand before circling wider.

At last she erupted upward behind Roxy, using her hands rather than her powers to throw a small wave over the blonde head, laughing happily and not even short of breath. "In the water you're at MY mercy," Feferi said in a passably supervillainy voice, though she spoiled the effect with more giggles as she swam toward the tube, pushing it back toward Roxy. "One floaty as promised!"
