[ Sleep... Sleep.. That sounded so good right about now. After having been chased for who knows how long by an insistent and blood-thirsty shark, a nap sounded appealing. But where could he lay his head to rest in peace without the threat of that shark finding him again? It was only by chance he had managed to shake him off as it was, thanks to a sunken ship that had far too many corridors and tunnels within it. Haru barely made it out of there himself and he was not about to go back in and hole himself up in one of those rooms for a breather.

Besides. Air on the surface was much more refreshing than the water down below, and he could never turn down the warmth of the sun when it shone brightly upon the surface of the waves. So maybe he would just take a risk for a nap and find some comfortable rock to lay himself upon for a few hours to catch a little bit of sleep.

He knew of a place not too far from where he was, an outcrop in the shadow of a cliff where few humans ever ventured, and thankfully for him that shadow would not be a literal one during that hour of the day when the sun was high and left few shadows along the coast. It provided the perfect amount of cover, comfort, and warmth and he wouldn't even have to wait long to get there. Sounded like a plan, huh?

Without a moment more of hesitance, Haru headed off to his napping spot, coming upon that outcrop only several minutes later with no shark in sight. Blue eyes scanned over the choice of rocks that lay before him until he decided on a smooth, large rock that was coming out of the water at an angle, the slope facing the shore. It was the more riskier choice in terms of being seen from the shore, but he would be harder to spot from any predator coming from the deep blue. So up he dragged himself out of the water to pull himself up onto the surface of the rock, laying on his stomach with his head resting on crossed arms. Ah yes... here would be very comfortable.. And he dozed into a dream of the deep blue and a school of mackerel. ]

[Between school work, training, and studying at home, Rei purposefully left out room for small talk for most of his day to day life. He couldn't run calculations properly in his mind with the constant distractions from other people. He signed up for track in order to find something to give all his focus towards in order to achieve that perfect form he had admired from the accomplished track stars. With track, there was a single, set path with a goal at the end. It was just the matter of execution of getting there that was the perfection Rei saw in his senior athletes that he also wanted to achieve.

So he trained hard with going the extra mile (or miles) by keeping in shape even well after club practice. His parents always advised him to not overdo things, but these self-training sessions were leisure for him too. He mapped out routes that were scenic and beautiful, which appealed to his own sense of beauty while also facilitated his running time. This time, it was along the coast where there were little obstacles as far as beach goers and cyclists go. As Rei jogged in his appropriate clothing and all, he looked over to his right where the ocean faced him. Kicking around the sand was never his favorite past time, but he did enjoy looking at the view from afar and he certainly could appreciate the sound of the waves hitting the rocks.

A break was in order before he needed to make the round back home, so Rei slowly eased himself to a stop by the rocks. Panting, he pulled out a mini water bottle from his pocket and drank. As his eyes trailed over to the glimmer that he caught his attention, he slowly lowered the bottle and adjusted his glasses to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.]

...a...cosplayer, maybe? [Or some sort of hobbyist? The young man on the rocks didn't seem that much older than him. His costume, that tail, looked rather radiant and more beautiful than any fabric Rei had ever seen, especially under the sunlight like that. In any case, it seemed like he was alone and before Rei knew it; he was already approaching him slowly. Today was rather warm, so the first thing that came to mind was the worst case scenario as Rei sped up, finally reaching the other boy's side.]

Excuse me. Hello?

[Rei checked his surroundings. There didn't seem to be anyone else with him, so he reached out his arm with the intention to give the other a light shake. He could become dehydrated or something if he wasn't already!]

It's dangerous to nap here by yourself. [Rei chided, like he would to...just about anyone doing anything improper.]

Please wake up!
