— mickey had come to learn that he much preferred it on land. it wasn’t that he feared the open waters and what all dwelled within it, nor was it because he easily got seasick or motion sickness. for lack of a better explanation, it felt like it was more because of the unfamiliarity of it all. the gentle rocking of the boat, not trusting himself to stand up on the boat without fearing the possibility of losing his balance and falling off. mick couldn’t say he was constantly tempted to jump on and go for a little boat ride. still, the idea of going on a boat trip seemed like one he couldn’t turn down.

guess that was how he found himself sitting in the boat, staring over towards the distance shoreline. his gaze lingered before he decided to lean  over to one side, looking down beneath the water’s surface. mick couldn’t see the ocean floor, though the occasional sight of a fish swimming by was enough for his lips to briefly twitch. he leaned back a bit and simply tried to take in the moment and the nice weather.

it was relaxing, admittedly, to be out on the sea. so long as the boat didn’t flip over, mick would go so far as to say it was a great venture out on the sea.

yall can say your character is along for the ride too btw!

[AMOR]

[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]there was no way amor would turn down a boating trip. strange, considering she never learned how to swim and every time she has tried, she's barely gotten anywhere and spiraled into mild panic. amor isn't too worried about it, though, not worried enough to even mention it to anyone who's on the boat before getting on; the worry being downed out by her excitement.

amor sat in the front of the boat, her legs folded under her as she leans over the side with an arm dangling down towards the water. the sun dancing across the water as the small waves rolled gently is captivating to her. she has a small smile on her lips, the scent of the salty sea filling her nose. after a bit, mor sits up slightly and looks back into the boat, eyes landing on mickey. she's able to sense a little bit of uneasiness from him,

"[color=#ffad33]what a great day, huh?" she states, trying to brighten his spirits and give him a little escape from the sea.

[GREENIE.]

The open seas was exciting, but of course daring Green would feel that way. Whilst it had taken some time to learn how to actually drive a boat, once getting a hang of it he began to feel less uneasy on the vessel, instead using his time on the boats to take in the amazement of the vast ocean. Today was no exception, legs kicked up as he sat on the boat, whistling a tune to himself thoughtfully. His hand lingered in the cool sea water, slowly pushing the water around with a cupped hand as he relaxed.

Despite the seemingly calm semblance, it wouldn’t be long before he tried to bring some excitement into the trip. ❝ I could totally go swimming right now. ❞ He pointed out, pausing before eyes darted around at the people on the boat, as if expecting agreement from at least another person before they took a dip in the sea. ❝ Anyone? Come on- ❞

— perhaps mick did come across as aloof and distant, not the easiest book to pry open. still, the older man seemed to prefer it that way, carefully keeping his distance emotionally. that wasn’t to say he wasn’t easy to get along with, though; he could at least carry a conversation fairly well. he wasn’t the best person to talk to, yet he certainly didn’t consider himself the worst. eyes looked over towards amor as she talked about what a great day it was, nodding his head thoughtfully in agreement. “it is, isn’t it?” he hummed in agreement, looking down towards the water. “very relaxing.”

”i could totally go swimming right now.” of course “relaxing” and “greenie” could never coexist for long. eyes slowly wandered towards green as he tried to get someone to go swimming along with him, shaking his head. he didn’t say anything initially, simply glancing throughout the group as green tried to recruit others. it was pretty clear that he was reluctant to get in. he'd basically have to be dragged in. after all, mick made up his mind that he wasn’t going to go - and he was too stubborn to be able to be persuaded - though, he figured, he could at least try and help green find somebody to tag along. looking towards amor, he absently gestured towards the water. “do you swim?”

[AMOR]

[align=center][div style="width: 400px; text-align: justify; font-size: 12px; font-family: calibri; letter-spacing: .6px; color: #494949;"]the idea of simply cooling off in the water, wading through waist deep water did sound nice, but this would be much over amor’s head; quite literally. the lack of people taking green up on his idea is saddening, though. almost tempts her to agree; almost. she purses her lip some and she glances around the boat for any ideas on how to make green’s wish come true if no one stepped up.

mickey’s question gets her attention, " [color=#ffad33]funny thing, " she lets out a little giggle, " [color=#ffad33]i love the water and being near it, but never learned to swim, " she shrugs, trying not to let how the struggle actually bother her; especially now, with her injury she’s pretty sure it’s next to impossible to learn. " [color=#ffad33]what about you? " she asks, a genuine interest on her face, " [color=#ffad33]you’re leaving greenie hanging, " amor half jokes, smiling.

[GREENIE.]

[align=center][div style="width: 430px; text-align: justify; font-family: verdana; font-size: 6pt; letter-spacing: 2.5px; word-spacing: 0px; line-height: 12px; color: #474747"]Green’s eyes searched across those on the boat. No one. Whilst some avoided even looking over towards him, others laughed it off or outright turned down the offer. Was Green the only one here who simply couldn’t relax when there was a perfectly cool and serene ocean to swim in? Eyes were pleading as they landed on Mickey. He couldn’t resist that look from Green, right? A shake of the head - oh. Nevermind. Next, Green glanced over towards Amor as she explained that she didn’t know how to swim.

❝ Hey - I could teach you some day…? ❞ It was a sweet offer from the kindness of his oblivious heart. He hadn’t quite realized that it would be near impossible for her to learn to swim after her leg injury. He removed his shirt, tossing it by his feet before he stood up, climbing so that he held himself up beside the sailboat’s shrouds. ❝ You guys are really missing out. ❞ He grinned smugly, glancing at Mick with a quirked brow as Amor commented that he was leaving Green hanging. ❝ Especially you. ❞

And, with that, he turned to dive into the ocean, disappearing for a couple of seconds before he resurfaced, smoothing his hair back. Green would stay in the ocean for hours if he could, much to the relief of the others on the boat who'd otherwise have to tolerate him and his eager sea legs.

— ”i love the water and being near it, but never learned to swim.” he raised his brows as she shrugged, seeming dismissive of the subject. mick decided not to press too much, seeming that it was a subject that didn’t make her particularly comfortable to bring up. instead of embarrassing her further, he simply hummed in acknowledgment, gaze flitting over towards green as he offered to help teach her.

”what about you? you’re leaving greenie hanging.” the words were enough for him to huff a short breath, subtle amusement on generally impassive features. “i don’t really swim,” he answered. shrugging absently, he watched green remove his shirt to prepare and dive in without anyone else wanting to join. “he’ll be fine,” he supplied, quirking a brow as green talked about how they were missing out - especially mick. oh, really now?

“some other time,” he offered before green turned to dive into the water. the fact that he made that offer alone surely spoke volumes. the things that green could convince him to do with just that look alone. watching him resurface, smoothing his hair back, he asked, “how’s the water?”
