"Here we go," Jace drops some cans of cooled drinks on one of the beach towels that are spread around on the sand. Him and Kailah's team got a few days off so they'd decided to take their charges to the beach, only Kailah ended up having to leave for a quick solo mission (not that Jace minds), leaving Jace at the beach with Seven, Vesta, Kael and Megan. So far Seven and Kael have decided to play beach volleyball with a few others up ahead while the girls decided to stay back at the towels. Megan to tan, Vesta to read a magazine on various exotic plants. Needless to say, Jace decided to stay behind with them.
"Thanks," Megan sends him a grateful smile, grabbing for the beverage she opted for.
"Thanks," Vesta doesn't look up from her magazine, blindly groping for her bottle of water, before Jace chuckles and simply hands it to her.
"I should've known Sie would be here, instead of working, Herr. Arani." Comes a familiar German accent.
Jace looks up with a grin, "Luddy-ki- ... Aren't you dying in that, Luddy-kins?"
Standing a few meters away from him, in full exorcist gear, is Ludwig. He sends Jace a glare. "Unlike Sie, Ich has business to do here."
Jace raises an amused eyebrow. "At the beach?"
"At ze beach." Ludwig confirms, narrowing his eyes as if to say, 'And'?
"Checking out women in bikinis isn't a job, Luddy-kins~ Unless you're here to check out me in my swimming trunks?" Jace snickers, lazily stretching himself out on his blue towel like a cat.
"Sie sind ridiculus." Ludwig scowls.
"Oh please, who wouldn't want to check me out~" Jace chuckles.
"I wouldn't," Vesta flicks to the next page of her magazine.
Ludwig sends Jace a slightly triumphant look.
Jace pouts slightly. "Are you absolutely sure you're not a lesbian, love?"
Vesta waves him off, before taking a sip of her water, turning her attention back to her magazine.
Jace turns to Megan, "You'd check me out, right?" He flexes his abs at her, striking a little pose.
Megan ducks her head as she blushes slightly, pushing her sunglasses further up on her nose, not saying anything.
Jace sends Ludwig a grin as if to say, 'See?'
Ludwig just rolls his eyes. "Sie sind impossible, Herr Arani." He scowls before turning on his heel.
"Not as impossible as the tan lines you'll end up with if you stay out dressed like that for too long, in this weather!" Jace calls after him, only to be ignored. Jace snickers and opens his can of iced coffee before looking over at Megan who still looks embarrassed. "Want to touch my muscles?" He asks teasingly, rewarded by her rolling onto her stomach to hide her face into her arms. He grins as he sips his drink. Haa~ They really do need to go to the beach more often~
