((He made it special by just engaging in a conversation with him. <3

BY GETTING AL TO BE SOCIALLL. xDDD -managed to get a semi-connection here at home-

Ffff. I'm totally stealing someone else's wireless Internet. ;D

And it wasn't that it was sad...it was jsut...so...

SWEET. The Notebook was just so sweet, yet sad at the same time andandandand....

Ugh. I'm just a big softie is what I am. C:))

Altair tilted his head a bit at Espen's reaction, though he smiled softly when the smaller male spoke. He reached over to ruffle the other's wet hair before looking at the pool. "I'm still trying to figure out just what's running through my head... My thoughts are so jumbled up that I can't decipher just what it is I'm thinking..." he said after a little while, lifting his head to look back over at Espen. "But that's how it's always been. Too much stuff, so little space," he chuckled.

((Weee~

Ah, Al, you're just so sweet. And cute. xD))

( xD Stealing interenet, are ya now, Rika?
Eheheh. You confused me. 8D )

I thought you said earlier you weren't stupid. Espen thought, hugging his legs to his body and blinking at Altair. "No one's ever had an empty head with no thoughts...Well, not counting the dead and unborn. But, sometimes, we give ourselves things to think about so we'll be thinking about something. It causes trouble, those things we do, but I think it also gives people a sense of security. Even those who don't ask for things to think about or go out looking for it would probably prefer having something to think about than nothing at all. Of course, they'd also prefer something good to think about than something bad to..." Espen blinked. "I'm sorry, I was just rambling on...I don't think any of that made sense, too."

( He is. e.e
Wahh. D: My cat scared me when she licked my foot.
...Weird cat. >__> )

((He was trying to make a joke. xD))

Altair tilted his head slightly as Espen spoke, listening intently. He smiled again, leaning into him for a moment. "It made perfect sense," he told him, then chuckled softly. "I know that nobody has a mind free from thoughts, but it would make everything so much simpler if they were in in order instead of jumbling themselves up..."

( Espen can't take a joke too well. xD
And, he doesn't really understand jokes unless someone else laughs. Then he's like, "OOOHHH. ...That's funny," )

Espen blinked, cocking his head. "Thoughts that were in order? Aren't they already?" He leaned against Altair as well, looking up at the ceiling. "The most important or bothersome thoughts to the least important and least bothersome thoughts. The stuff in the middle...Well, I guess that's the part that's jumbled up."

Altair looked down at Espen and chuckled softly. "You know, you're pretty insightful," he told him, smiling softly. "But I guess you're right for the most part. But what happens when what used ot seem so unimportant and useless becomes very important and very useful?" he asked, blinking his brilliantly bi-colored eyes.

((C:))

Altair smiled. "Well, I used to think that talking like this with someone was utterly unimportant and useless, but now I've found that it's the complete opposite. It's a way to make friends and learn more about what happens in other places, something I never would have found out without you," he answered. "So, thank you for striking a conversation with me. It's helped me see that forming bonds isn't as useless as I'd thought..."

((I have an idea in my head for, like, a kiss. Well, somewhat. >w>

Espen could end up almost drowning again, since you said that he'd done that several times trying to touch the bottom, and Altair could save him and perform CPR. .e.

Unless it's too early? -unsure-

In the RP it's only been two days, but in reality, it feels like an eternity. e.o))

( xD It does.
Maybe because of all the days we've been roleplaying these two days? o_o It's like, we don't move on.

Sure. .o. )

Espen smiled. "Well, maybe I should be thanking you, too." he said, pushing some of his hair out of his face. Wet hair bothered him when it was in his face. "I don't think I've had, uh, conversations like this in a while. And, maybe I've gotten more out of the conversations we've had than I can see." Er, I guess. I don't really understan what I'm saying anymore. Heh.

Altair smiled back, winding an arm around Espen. "Well, it looks like we've helped eachother," he said. "And I'm glad we did. And I don't think I've ever had conversations like this," he chuckled softly. He was so glad he had met Espen.

((Cx))

Altair grinned. "Of course~" he told Espen before unwinding his arms to slip back into the water, slightly surprised by the shock of cold upon going under. He must have dried off a little when he climbed out, so now the water was cold again. Oh well. He could handle it.

((-jams to her playlist on Windows MEdia PLayer- <3

Linking Park right now. |D))

( Lol. xD My playlist is on Youtube. )

Espen blinked, taking just a moment to realize that Altair was underwater, then dived in after him. It wasn't like him to be so eager, but he couldn't help himself. Instead of coming back up for air, Espen decided to touch the bottom of the pool again. The last time he'd done so, he'd simply swiped the tips of his fingers over the bottom, so this time, he'd attempt to lay his whole hand on it.

Easier said than done, Espen thought. Where's the bottom? As if his body was acting alone, Espen attempted to breathe, and got both a mouthful of water, and a burning nose. Chlroine always had the tendency to do that to his nose, especially when he breathed it in like an idiot. He didn't even realize he was drowning until he finally got his head wrapped around the fact that his back had touched the bottom. Not his hand.

When Espen didn't come back up after diving down, Altair grew worried. He dove down to see what was happening, surfacing a moment later, coughing up a bit of water he had swallowed while attempting to gasp underwater. He immediately dove back under, swimming quickly to grab Espen and pull him up with him. He swam to the edge of the pool, hefting the smaller male up while also trying to keep himself above the water.

Once he ahd done so, he climbed out, panicking mind having to take a few moments to remember CPR. He moved his hands where he was supposed to, pushing up with quick strokes. "Come on, Espen.." he murmured, voice wavering.

((o:

He'll have ot do that for a bit before doing mouth-to-mouth. xD P:))

( xD Don't you usually just start with mouth-to-mouth? ...Oh, wait... o.o
Well, I've got a partially drowned male to work with. *pokes Espen with a stick* Let's see what I can do. )

Right before Altair had gotten him out of the water, Espen had thought, "Nooooo." for a reason he'd probably never understand. He conkedd out just a second later, but he didn't see his life flash before his eyes or anything like that. It had happened to him before, but not this time.
