Baby blues slid from the ghost to the water, then back again. "I'm an afanc," he offered to her question, fin tipped tail sweeping around his hip. "Definitely water creatures." A small smile followed, and he started forward so he could join her on the dock. When he got to her side he leaned forward so he could peer over her shoulder at the water. "I love to swim." It was one of the few things he was naturally good at.
Another quick glance was turned towards the ghoul, and there was an awkward pause before he stepped back, and with a resigned sort of sigh, pulled his shirt up and over his head. He folded it and placed it on the dock, then straightened up with one arm folded across his front so he could clutch at the other one that was pin straight at his side. He looked incredibly uncomfortable, the color of his skin had lightened a shade, and he was trying hard to avoid the ghost ghoul's eye. "Ah, where did you say it was, again?"

He stared out where she was indicating, then nodded. "Right, be right then."
Whatever awkwardness and discomfort he showed in his own skin was lost the second he dove in. That thin body was streamline as it broke the surface, and he gave his powerful tail a solid flick to propel him forward and down. Now that he was under the rippling surface he could see the phone sitting on the bottom, and he hurried towards it and scooped it up, then kicked off from the bottom and made for the surface.
He was smiling when he came back up, a hesitant, crooked smile, and he slid through the water towards where she was perched on the edge of the dock, holding the phone out for her. "Right where you said it was." It was offered back to her. "Not broken is it?"

Chaya watched interestedly as the boil dove in, his hesitation lost instantly in his element. His tail flicked, and she could see him eeling down towards the bottom, though refraction obscured the details. A moment later, he broke the surface, holding her phone up, and she yipped delightedly. "You found it! You're great at swimming," she said, and leaned over to take it.
The phone refused to turn on, and she frowned at it, mildly worried. "It's not turning on," she reported. "But it should be okay. I downloaded the waterproof app, I'm sure it'll be fine! Maybe it's out of charge." She beamed at him.

"Er, thank you." Initial insecurity gave way to genuine appreciation, and he offered another loop sided smile before pulling himself up to sit on the dock beside her, looking down at the phone as she attempted to turn it on. The screen remained stubbornly black, and blue eyes flicked up to teh ghost ghou;'s face before back down at the phone as she mentioned having downloaded a water proof app. App..
Oh dear.
Shoulders hunching a bit, he crossed his ankles under the water, tail flicking nervously and creating little ripples. "Maybe, but.. You know an app can't save your phone from being water logged, right?" Not that he was a leading authority or anything. He'd only had a phone for a little over two months now, and he had so far only figured out how to turn it on, how to use the browser, and how to send messages. Not that he had anyone to send messages to.
He frowned, and somewhat hesitantly reached out to pull the phone gently from her hands. "You might be able to dry it out, or take it somewhere and have them fix it." He flipped it in his hands, staring down at it uselessly. "I'm sorry."

"I dunno," the boil admitted helplessly. "Did you pay for it, or was it free?" If she'd paid, he knew exactly why they'd make false promises. Greed was a powerful motivator.
His head tilted at her reasoning, caught a little off guard. She really was very kind, and despite being mildly puzzled the soft smile remained. He had never been very well socialized growing up. Their Loc was small, and his clan even smaller. For a long time he'd always assumed that anything new was bad, but in the few short months he'd been at Amity he was learning that that wasn't always the case. "Chaya, it's very nice to meet you."
He blinked, suddenly remembering her question about rice. "Possibly, if the circuits inside haven't been fried. No harm in trying."
