He alights on the beach a short distance away from the the 2 other arrivals and quirks an eyebrow. Ah, women folk. One in a somewhat skimpy outfit. Wonderful. A soft red flush tints his cheeks as he brushes back his hood and ponders. He usually shows up to sit quietly off one of the overhangs and think, watching the waves lick gently across the littorals of the beach front. He supposes there's plenty of beach to go around, after all. He's sure he won't disturb anyone. |

Hopefully this time their meeting won't go too awkward for Rayne. That would be a first. "Um, sunbathing?" Her gaze flickers at the motion seen from the corner of her eye, but she sees that it's the stony looking fellow she's seen once or twice at the Usual Restaurant as opposed to any threat. Her eyes linger on him for just a moment as she frowns ever so slightly, but she then shakes her head and returns her attention to the person she's attempting to have a conversation with. "I kinda wish I could relax enough to do more of that, myself." |

It's more that I can't seem to relax my guard enough to be out and about without armor these days." She sighs, then looks back at Zelgadis again as Deis calls him out. Deciding to be more friendly than aloof since she's already engaged in a potentially awkward conversation (Rayne has an assumption that a conversation with Deis will turn that way), she gives Zelgadis a small wave as well. |

Awkward again.'' "So, uh, have you kept yourself busy? Or is sleeping still the primary thing you do?" |

− | Deis reaches up to Zelgadis's face, and unless he moves, gently taps on one of the stony patches there. Not hard enough to be uncomfortable, but enough to feel.

"Oh then I ''have'' to figure out some way to get you to relax! Can't have you going against your nature, can we?" Oh dear. This could present a problem... |

Rayne then pauses as Deis seems to set her focus on her. ''Uh oh.'' "Oh, uh, don't worry about me, Miss Deis! I'm sure I'll get myself out of this state of mind sooner or later. I go through a lot of phases, you know? I mean, you don't live as long as I have without changing yourself around a few times! Ha ha!" That was a bit nervous of a laugh. |

Though ''who'' you are is more important than ''what'' you are. Lot of people forget that too. Sometimes the 'who' has to change because of the 'what'. Or sometimes the 'what' and the 'who' are completely different. Is your 'who' and 'what' in agreement?" That's an oddly serious question from the usually nonchalant Deis. |
The nonchalant is illustrated quite well, in fact, when Deis turns back to Rayne at her words of changing around. "Oh, that's definitely true," she agrees. "Just don't change to your own detriment. It's not good for you. And it's totally no fun!" | The nonchalant is illustrated quite well, in fact, when Deis turns back to Rayne at her words of changing around.

Her own true form had been inaccessible to her since coming here, so she could see the desire to return to one's 'true' form. Rayne's question gets a giggle, and she turns to flop over onto her stomach again. "That's exactly why I sleep so much," she responds. "Passes the time more quickly. I went to sleep once, and when I woke up a couple centuries had passed and a blue-haired kid had a bone to pick with my sister." |

It's true, she hugged him gently; despite his stony exterior, she doesn't know his tolerance for physical damage. She's pretty sure he'd be fine, but no sense taking chances. She tilts her head to look at Zelgadis's face. "Aren't you?" Referring to the earlier mention of him being all right. |

His physical strength should be adequate for a hug, certainly. Now...the bosoms involved, might have been too much for him. He mouths an answer a few times, manages to stammer something that sounds sounds like 'buda-buda'...clears his throat and seems to cool off JUST a tad. "I...am fine. I was simply...s..surprised..." |

She just goes to Serenity's comment and nods, hooking a thumb at Zelgadis. "He was lamenting his condition, so I gave him a hug." She also doesn't say what condition, leaving that for Zelgadis to either explain or leave ambiguous. |

Bikinis and Babes! | ||

Currently though, she's in that burgundy bikini of hers, lying on her stomach on a towel, relaxing and drying off after said swim. The whistling gets her attention, and she looks up. "Oh hi!" she calls out, as she catches sight of Rayne walking past. She shifts, to turn and sit up, then waves in Rayne's direction. Uh-oh, Rayne... she saw you!
It's a moment before Deis sees Zelgadis. Though when she does, she waves. "Hey! You look lonely over there! C'mon over, there's room to sit~!"
And then she tries to draw the stony one sitting in stony silence into the conversation. "How about you? Did you have any problems when you first came here?" She offers a polite smile and leans over a little, propping herself up on one hand. "I'm Deis; what's your name?"
She turns her attention to Zelgadis then, the weird sort of shift from monotone to cheery. "Good to meet you, Zelgadis!" Deis offers. "You said something about problems? Owing to what?"
Rayne's mention of 'nothing remotely as bad' gets a wave of a hand from Deis. "I didn't mean to note that as a contest, dear. Just assuring you that I've totally been there. Hopefully that situation's been sorted out?"
Rayne's mention that her situation is dealt with gets a smile. "Oh good. I'd hate to have to thwack some loser because he wanted to kill a peacekeeper. That's just not conducive to keeping the peace."
The nonchalant is illustrated quite well, in fact, when Deis turns back to Rayne at her words of changing around. "Oh, that's definitely true," she agrees. "Just don't change to your own detriment. It's not good for you. And it's totally no fun!"
And then suddenly she seems to get an idea. "Oh, I know what you need," Deis decides, sitting up again and looking at Zelgadis. And then? Zelgadis may want to watch out, because there's a HUG INCOMING!
She sits up, looking at Serenity, still giggling a little. "Hi there~!" she offers. And in response to Serenity's question? "Oh, I was talking about naked hugs!" She seems determined to embarrass people!
