Mako shivered as he swam .
“Wimp.”
He rolled his eyes at his friend’s remark; “Well I didn’t expect it to be so cold.”
“Still makes you a wimp.” Stated the Tang without missing a beat.
Ladro had always been so generous with his compliments, hadn’t he?
“I’m surprised my dad even let’s you stay in my presence-”
Mako turned around slightly to face Ladro and gesture towards himself in a more noble and sophisticated way; “With me being the epitome of a princely exemplar and all.”

She shivered with the thought of something happening that she’d regret, and even worse, when his actual excellence found out.
Mako and Ladro both chuckled; “Wimp-”
