<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/zxHvvH6.png)</div>Name: Nathaniel Faulkner<br/>Time:  Day 1 Afternoon<br/>Location: Ecchi Island Beach Zone, Sector 5, Ocean<br/>Tagging: Tessa, Open<br/>Notes/Warning: Unexpected assault<br/><hr/><br/>The change in tactics was unexpected as Tessa forsook the splash fight to dive beneath the water. It would have been a good idea if she had not been dealing with an assassin, and if the water wasn't clear enough that he could basically see her moving beneath the waves anyways. It was a downside to the island, though he had the feeling that she expected that it would happen. The Countess wasn't a fool.<br/><br/>He reacted then, shifting forwards in preparation to act. He remained firm as she grabbed onto him from behind, her arms wrapping around his torso where she could feel his toned chest muscles. "Really?" he asked with a grin before letting himself fall backwards, carrying her into the water with him if she wasn't prepared. Nathaniel used the opportunity when submerged to slip free, before clasping Tessa's hand to help her out of the water. "This island is too pretty for those kinds of tricks," he noted aloud. Perhaps not the most romantic path he could have taken, but that was okay. It wasn't like he was trying to compete with someone.
