To cool his jets, Raihan takes to this area. It's no surprise a mansion like this would have a wide room with a pool, jacuzzi, and hot tub. What's really surprising is that it's empty. "More for me~" He strips himself in the washroom before making his way *Stark naked* To the hot tub with a small towel slung over his shoulder. If no one is around, he'll just do whatever he wants!
Ethel
Monika felt the need to relax also, she heard there was a hot tub at the pool, she was already in her swimsuit, but then she noticed someone was in there already. It was Raihan! "Dammit, I was hoping to have some peace and quiet.." She crossed her arms and grumbled.
Nicole
He lies back in the tub and let's out a biiig sigh. "This is the life~" He muses before his head lolls over and his eyes caught onto- MONIKA?! Why, that parasite that suddenly popped into Leon's love life?! He groans out, "Uuugh!"
Ethel
She rolled her eyes and released Espeon, she really liked to swim often, it was a wonder how she didn't evolve into a Vaporeon, she jumped into the pool and started swimming around. Monika just sat at the edge of the pool and dipped her feet in the water, waiting for Mr. Hyperactive to leave.
Nicole
"Oh, it's gonna be that way, huh?" Raihan had thought Monika would leave once she saw him occupy this spacious room- which should just be his in the moment. He tries to relax but can't with the apparent person in the room. He grumbles to himself while combing a hand through his hair in growing irritation.
Ethel
She nodded, "Yep, it'll be that way." Espeon went up in between her legs and jumped on her, she laughed and pet her head, forgetting that Raihan was even there for a moment.
Nicole
Raihan grits his teeth. "Why did you come here? Just so I could suffer?" If it's a test of who will be last to leave the room, Raihan is game. Plus, he doesn't want to leave the hot tub since it's so relaxing. "Wench..." He whispers.
Ethel
She crossed her arms and looked at him, "I just wanted to relax in the hot tub, I'm not the type of gal' who would want to make others suffer." She looked back over at Espeon and scratched her chin.
Nicole
"Pfft. He scoots over in the tub and pat the water besides him before resting his arms behind his head again. "Don't be afraid then. I won't bite~" He flashes her his canines as if emphasis on this. Knowing Monika, she wouldn't want to be near him and that's a small victory for Raihan.
Ethel
She crossed her arms, she knew he was kidding, but was feeling mean today. She smirked at him, "If you insist." She went over and sat next to him, but wasn't facing him. It was pretty relaxing though, she just rested her chin on the edge and relaxed herself.
Nicole
He leered at her back once she got into the tub with him. "It should be Leon who's in here with me," He grumbles and scoots away from Monika. "I don't understand why he would like someone so small..." He's having the urge to kick her out but knows better not to do that.
Ethel
She looked at him, "Do you like Leon or something?" She didn't feel offended at the 'small' comment, she gets it alot. She didn't sound ticked or angry, her voice was actually really soft and not intimidating.
Nicole
Raihan expected her to be a mass of angry monster but she took it calmly than he had hoped. Her question made him pause for a bit. "... Like? Of course I like him him. He's my best friend. Kind of oblivious, but that's what makes him charming... In a way." Raihan shrugs. The way Monika's tone was got under his skin and he's slightly a bit more irritated.
Ethel
She turned her body over, "I never really answered your question when I came in... About how we got together.." She bit her lip, "I admitted some scary things to him, about how my brother is out for my blood and my father wants me to lead Team Rocket... And after... I don't know how... But I managed to confess my feelings for him and... He accepted it... We just want to protect each other... I'm very sorry for taking him away from you, I really am.."
Nicole
He doesn't answer for a bit, hearing Monika out. It was all fine. Raihan might have been ready to accept that Leon is beyond his reach ~~in everything~~ until Monika apologized for exactly that. TakInG LeOn awAy. He's shaking and his doesn't look Monika in the eyes. "You made him pity you..? So that he'll accept your feelings? Why... What the fuck..." It's all mixed up for him.
Ethel
She holds her hands out infront of her, "No No! I... Huh..?" She thought about it, is that what she did? Well now she feels awful, she lifted her knees up to her chest and rested her chin on them, "Well now I feel like a bitch.." She couldn't really find another explanation as to why she confessed to him at that moment.
Nicole
He's staring so hard at the water it's as if was making it boil himself. "Ya took advantage of that idiot's sense of justice." He glares up at Monika. "Ya just wanted someone to cling onto, eh? He was the kindest t' ya so you assume he has feelings for you too?!" He's completely overlooking Monika's feelings and how she's taking this also...
Ethel
She gave him a tearful look, Espeon was also watching from the pool, and looked ready to draw blood. She covered her face, but she felt rage at the moment and slapped his face as hard as she could, (which was really fucking hard) and stormed out of there, with Espeon following close behind.
Nicole
He probably deserved that. It wasn't right of him to yell at her when she obviously felt guilty about it. He avoided the answer but it's true. He does like like Leon. Maybe more than his own rival would ever return. His jealousy got him acting like a kid. He sinks into the water slowly and try to play it off coolly. "That fixed my neck a bit..." He says to no one really. *"Ahhhh, this sucks."*

He continues to stay in the hot tub, almost falling unconscious because of how much he is heating up. Now that Monika left, he could finally leave himself. "Yay..." He musters and crawls out from the tub. So much for relaxing. He got himself in something even though he said he won't. Just some soap opera level drama- nothing more. All he knows is that he needs to take care of his swollen cheek. He leaves the room but not without changing himself into his casual wear first.
