Shada leaned back against the wall of the pool. It's been a few weeks since he's been able to actually have a relaxing bath. There's always either way too many people (well, actually it's just three, but Karim makes it feel like an entire town is there), he just can't leave his posts, or he's way too tired to bathe. But now, now he's all alone after a bare minimum work day. He closes his eyes, he really deserved this.
"Wasn't expecting anyone to be here at this time," an all too familiar voice said in mild annoyance. Shada snapped his eyes open and he stood up rapidly, turning in every direction to try and find the voice's owner, "oh well, you're defenseless. Not like I have anything to worry about."
"Where are you?" he shouted, "show yourself coward!"
"No thanks, I'm good. I have a pretty nice view that I don't want to lose."
Shada growled at that smug voice, and kept turning to try and find where it was coming from. It sounded like it was right behind him, but everytime he looked no one was there. This was likely just another trick, just another distraction orchestrated by the Thief King.
Just as Shada was about to make his way out of the pool, a pair of decently strong arms circled around his waist, and a chin rested on his shoulder. "You're so lucky you're fun, or else I would have killed you."
Shada quickly grabbed the Thief by the top of his hair and threw him over head, slamming him on the stone ground. The Thief let out a pained moan and slowly started getting back up, he wobbled a bit and made more pained hissing sounds.
"Ah, ow, ow, ow!" he straightened his back and rubbed his head, "that hurt! I haven't even done anything yet! Save your energy for later!" he whined and complained, kneeling by the water to check his reflection and make sure he was suddenly bald.
"You threatened to kill me," Shada stated simply, "that's more than enough reason."
The Thief King looked up and glared at him, not in a murderous way like he did with the other priests, his glare was mostly annoyed and a little playful.
Then, the Thief stood up and slinked over to Shada, his glare shifting to a smirk as he stood a full head beneath him. His hands slowly grazed over Shada's chest, wiping away a few drops of water, before linking around his neck, "Awww, is someone not happy to see me? I remember you being a little more playful… Don't tell me you regret last time!"
A few veins popped out on Shada's face, and he adorned a very, very angry face. "Last Time?" He gripped the Thief's waist and lifted him off the ground, making him squirm and causing his face to fall, "You stole my Sennen Item and made me run around the entire Kingdom for three days just because you were bored!"
The Thief looked away from him, trying to seem like he was ashamed even though he was clearly on the verge of hysterical laughing. A few snorts and giggles had already come out of his mouth as he remembered that escapade.
"C-c'mon…" the Thief stuttered, laughing a little, "It was a little fun, admit iAH!" Shada tossed him back in the pool and began to walk away. So much for a relaxing time.
The Thief splashed around a bit, his laughter got louder and louder until he was wheezing and gasping, "Oh come on priest! You never have fun with me! The other one's got soohoho boring!"
Shada just ignored his attempts at persuasion and continued to leave him soaking and laughi- Where were his clothes and where was his Ankh?
Shada ran back to the pool, only to notice that the Thief was gone and the water was still.
