[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa has also been the recipient of a Booster Gold Bikini Ray special, and is settling in one of the chairs near the shade, leaving the spots under the umbrellas for those that need more protection. ]

[The one known as "Barry" decided to take a look at this pool event. He was in no way dressed for the occasion.]

[ooeeooahah]

Not here to swim, I take it?

[ Ilsa is applying her sunscreen in a business-like manner. ]

[pnshandnslv]

No. Not exactly.

[ooeeooahah]

You aren't waterproofed?

[ She means it the way you teach children water safety, and is actually worried. ]

[pnshandnslv]

I came to observe. I don't swim if I can help it.

[ooeeooahah]

But you won't dissolve if you hit the water, will you? There's a few pranksters here.

[pnshandnslv]

Thankfully... no. That would be a problem, if that were the case...

[ooeeooahah]

Good. I can pull a sinker out of the drink, but not particulate matter.

[pnshandnslv]

[He thought about it for a moment.]

... Hm. You seem in better spirits.

[ooeeooahah]

Better...? Ah, when I was self-medicating. Yeah, it was a rough bit there.

[ She scoots over, leaving the foot of the chaise open. ]

Come on, sit. You're looming suspiciously.

[pnshandnslv]

Looming?

[ooeeooahah]

Hovering, then. You're obvious enough in that uniform, and you're uncomfortable, it seems to me.

[pnshandnslv]

Obvious enough for... what?

[ooeeooahah]

You're either not used to socializing, or not here to socialize.

[ Ilsa settles back, and smiles at him. ]

You're lucky I don't have my cousin's twisted sense of humor, or you'd be wearing a thong by now.

[pnshandnslv]

I'm simply observing. ... and why would you make me wear a ... thong?

[He lofts a brow.]

[ooeeooahah]

You've got the build for it, and it's less conspicuous here than the uniform.

[ She smiles brightly at him. ] It would mean that I'm helping!

So, observing... hang on a minute. [ She leans forward, and lowers her voice. ] Why are you squinting?

[pnshandnslv]

I don't think wearing a thong would be helping.

[He blinked.]

Squinting?... Ah, the sun is... bright.

[ooeeooahah]

It'd help your popularity.

[ She turns a little serious. ]... and the shades aren't enough? How long has it been this bad?

[ She starts rummaging in her huge beach bag for something. ]

[pnshandnslv]

I suppose I should work on that.

[He thought for a moment.]

I feel as though it was somehow connected to the package I received in the mail.

[ooeeooahah]

[ Ilsa pulls a man's straw Panama hat out of the bag, and puts it on Barry's head. The wide brim does manage to shade his eyes more without blocking his vision. ]

Were you mostly nocturnal before they pulled you in here?

[pnshandnslv]

[He didn't look too thrilled with the hat... but when did he ever looked pleased with anything?]

My night vision was always better... I'm thinking it has something to do with my... ah...

[How does he explain having a second pair of optics?...]

[ooeeooahah]

Then you probably got your night vision, with an increased sensitivity.

[ He may not look thrilled with the hat, but it's a good looking one. ]

I'm not an ophthalmologist, but I can give you a basic exam, make sure your eye health is okay. Not here, though, come see me sometime next week.

[pnshandnslv]

That... might be a fairly logical conclusion.

[A pause...]

Thank you for the offer.

[ooeeooahah]

If it's just gaining your abilities back, we might see about finding some better shades for you, to make you more comfortable.

Speaking of being comfortable, that dark uniform is going to be really warm in an hour or so. You really didn't bring anything else to change into?
