In reply to: Isobel 's message, "That will teach you!" on 14:34:09 02/02/02 Sat

"That is not fair! You started first!"

Ravin inwardly chuckled at Isobel's words as he swam along, his strong arms cutting through the water with ease. The wound in his chest pained him a little but it wasn't enough to slow him down. Of course the whiskey he consumed, along with the herbal medication he took a little earlier probably aided in numbing the wound immensely. Thank the gods for alcohol, healers, and the awful tasting concoctions they handed out!

Because of the excellent physical condition he kept his body in, the thief wasn't even winded when he reached the other side of the pond. Swimming laps was a hell of a lot easier then scaling one of the tall buildings in the noble section of Bizmar! To keep his muscles in shape he often climbed to the top of the tallest trees in the Rover forest, and had races with his brothers. So far none of them had ever beaten him yet. The day someone did would be the day he'd retired from a life of crime.

He stood there grinning at Isobel when she finally arrived. As he watched her draw closer he once again found himself imagining his arms wrapped around her while their lips were locked in a fiery kiss. His wonderful vision was broken when she managed to shove him under the water. "That will teach you to cheat, Seņor Ravin!" he heard her say as he sunk.

Reacting quickly, he swam up behind her, got to his feet and lifted her up by the waist. "This is cheating," he laughed before tossing her into the water with a splash. When he heard her muttered curses a moment later and saw her begin to swim toward him, he dove and swam back to the end of the pond where they had started.

He scrambled up to the shore, plopped down on his ass and grabbed his whiskey flask. Grinning from ear to ear, he held it out to Isobel who came stomping toward him. "Care to share a drink with me?" he snickered. "We can toast to all the great cheaters in the world."
