Altima pouted a bit that her display hadn't caused any amusing reactions and concentrated on what was going on instead and sighed.  They wanted to return to her homeland, she didn't want to go back; then her sisters would be all gushy and sentimental and it'd just be embarrassing.  "I really don't want to go back. It'd just be embarrassing for me." She said with sigh, but they in the end would probably have to go regardless of how she felt about it.<br/><br/>But it still made her squirm some but more out of a need to wash herself off and slid down and away from them until she got to the deeper end of the pool and dunked herself underwater and began to wash out her hair.  "But we have to go in the end after we get the shard that's here somewhere." She said. "I can't guarantee that they'll be apt to help; sometimes they're more concerned with private security." Altima reported after a few moments of thought.<br/><br/>But seeing that Brand was acting scared again she just sighed, having the same pang of sympathy considering that he was the youngest among them.  Quietly, she went over and gently hugged him from the side, her breasts squishing against his shoulder for a moment as she did. "Hey don't be scared. As long as we're all together there's nothing in the world that can beat us, Not even those dark bastards." she said, trying to cheer him up in a serious fashion and cuddled against him for a moment to help it along.
