In much better spirits than the other boil, Calder swam back over till he touched the soft bottom of the swamp and stepped up to the other boil. He hadn't gone far, but seeing as he was in the water, he wondered why he didn't go further. Could he really not go in because of breaking out? What a pity. Still, he was in the water now and ...frowning a lot.
"Nice catch." He pointed out, before turning his head to look at the boy's dripping expression. ".....what's with the frowny face? Didn't I get enough algae?" He looked about, wondering if he had to get more, before looking back. "The water's nice and warm, isn't it?"

"Yea... yea you got plenty of algae," scowled the half beast after spitting some of the swamp water out of his mouth. For a moment the water did feel warm enough to stay in until the air started to prove his top half chillier than his bottom thus sending him to kneel some in the water to try and take advantage of it's temperature. If only that sunlight was closer.
"It's.. decent... I guess..." he snorted and looked backwards to the shore.
Great how am I supposed to get back without freezing to death.. Bul whined to himself exaggeratedly. "You know, I don't ever expect to be doing this again, you hear me?" he pouted but appeared to be staying in the swampy water with the kelpie.

Stepping to be right in front of him, Calder knelt down and looked face to face to the other boil before flat out pouting. "Why? I thought you might want to come here with me again. I could get more if you ever wanted some and make your dirt ball all slimy again." If he was trying to get more wet, then it must mean he liked it a little bit. "The water is really nice. More than decent." Maybe he just wasn't wet enough to enjoy it? Cupping his hands, the kelpie dipped them into the water and then raised it above the other boil's head before dumping the water on top of his hair. "See?" He went to get another handful of swamp water.

Bul rolled his eyes at the other monster making nothing of him moving closer at first- "Okay first of all, it's not a dirt ball, it's a snot ball... for snotty hack. And secondly-" there was a pause... a very awkward pause as the water dripped from Calder's hands to Bul's hair and flattening out what little bit was still standing up from after his fall. If there was one thing more unsettling than his lower half being underwater it was his upper half. Resisting the urge to punch the boil in the face, Bul instead threw his knee underwater at the other defensively.
"You do that again and I'll drown you.." he growled and tried to run his hand through his hair to deflatten it though was only partially successful.

Another hit, and unbalanced, Calder fell back to land on his bottom. It was more surprising than damaging, and seeing as he was already kneeling, it wasn't even much of a fall. What was more hurt was his feelings, and he flat out frowned at the other boil for hitting him. Why was it that so many people tended to hit him? Lower lip jutting out, he looked the boil and his stupid ball over. So huffy about a bunch of water. If there was one thing that could have made Calder smile, it was the crazy threat of drowning him. DROWNING HIM! A kelpie.
Finding that rather amusing, he sighed dramatically. "Well, if you want me to drown, I guess I'll just.........drown myself ....seeing as you hate me and don't want to ever go swimming with me ever." With that, he waved goodbye and flopped back into the shallow water, submerging himself and laying there.

Satisfied once more with landing a blow Bul was able to teeter himself from angry to content. It was Calder's unpleasant expression that made him smirk some before pulling back. But then the kelpie unexpectedly began to back down and Bul raised a brow. "Wait a second wait a second, you're just gonna give like that? What monster just gives up, huh?" he asked almost confused sounding before wading close to where Calder had flopped back.
He wouldn't REALLY drown himself... right?

Calder crossed his hands about his chest in the traditional 'going to expire' pose, and waited. He made no jerk to get up but remained perfectly still. What Bul didn't know was that Calder went to sleep underwater. His bed was nothing more than a bathtub filled with water. While hearing underwater was something he could do, hearing someone out of water while you were submersed was rather difficult and all he got was a lot of load mumbles. In response, he decided to just let out some bubbles as if he was loosing his last breath.

Almost worried, particularly after having experienced a lot of "death" on the island field trip Bul knew better than to let a creature from Amityville perish. It was this sense of compassion that drove Bul to reach down and tug Calder up to the surface and furrow his brows at him. "Jack damnit what the hell? Bro that's just not a good idea. Just because I kicked you.." he paused.
What am I doing? I thought he like.. ********' loved the water.

Calder was actually starting to wonder what type of person left a boil drown. Then he felt the tug on his jacket and was brought to the surface. Just as the nameless boil was flipping out about his decision to end life early, Calder felt a grin grow wider and wider before he just reached out and hugged the boil. "Oh, my hero!!! You do care about me!" So Mr. Frowny wasn't all bad. He at least wouldn't let some random stranger die.

There was a moment in which every pore on Bul's surface felt like it would rupture and spill FEAR into the bog but he had to resist. This boil was an absolute piece of work and its seemed no amount of pushiness would get to him... or at least to the point where Bul would feel ultimately superior.
"...." for a while the half beast still said nothing then finally let out a deep sigh. This time he wouldn't push or kick the kelpie but he wouldn't be wrapping his arms around him or anything of the sort. Bul could feel his clothes sopping wet especially after the hug and groaned faintly.
"Don't mention it... I mean it... ever" he said to the other dryly.

Seeing as he was not being hugged in return, Calder released and sat, tail flicking happily in the water. "You don't know how funny it is that you would ever say that you would drown me. I'm a kelpie. I LIVE in the water ever since I came out of my pumpkin. I could nap down in this swamp for hours." He was starting to chuckle as he pulled long locks of hair out of his face and tried to bundle his hair behind his shoulders. "...but it's nice to know you ccccaaarrreeee." He grinned, taking Mr. Frowny's expression as more adorable than threatening now. Reaching out, he poked his frumpy face. "Aww. Don't be so upset. No one's dead and I guess I won't tell anyone how you heroically saved me from the cold grip of death."

Well that did explain it. Come to think of it, the kelpie did mention napping down there before. Bul was too flustered with anger to come up with any sort of intelligent insult at the time and it all turned out to backfire on him. The half beast glanced away and crossed his arms. "Hmph... you actually think I woulda drowned you?" he said trying to make up for his fault.
Bul bristled some and showed a little teeth when the kelpie touched him. "Of course I can't promise I won't pummel you into a wall in the monster dorms should you tell.." he threatened. "You're lucky you did me a favor before all this..." he snorted and returned the other's poke sharply.

"Heyyyy." Calder whined, rubbing his cheek where he was jabbed. "You should be lucky that you even found me and was willing to get your algae Mr. I-won't-go-in-the-deep-parts. You'd be left frowning at the water ALLLL day." The boil was rather mean and ungrateful, but he wasn't cold-hearted. Calder reminded himself that he had pulled him out of the water. "I don't think you would pummel me. You didn't want to see me drown. Thaaattt means you wouldn't want to hurt me." It was simple logic to the kelpie, who rose up and flicked his tail, a whip of water spraying about. Reaching a hand out, he smiled. "Come on, Sir Frowny or do you want to take a nap in the bog with me?" He teased.

"Haha... you say that now, kelpie.." Bul chuckled. He wouldn't be too afraid of wrestling the other boil to prove his strength or anything like that. "Also would you stop calling me Sir Frowny? My name's Bul.." he huffed before wading a bit towards the more shallow end. "I can... probably take a nap but you gotta promise no dunking me, no splashing me, no pulling me into the deeper water... got it?" he growled.

"Then Bul it is. I'm Calder." He said, glad to get their rather belated introductions out of the way. Having someone's name made it much more easy to shout at them from long distances after all and if he did see Bul, that is exactly what he would do. What the other boil might regard as a one-time meeting, Calder set aside as a hopeful, potential friend. Sure, the hitting wasn't nice, but Christof hit him ALL the time and he was still friends with him.
It was surprsing that the other boil was even up for taking a nap and had even included him in the mix. What was even more delightful was that he failed to list several big no's on his list. Cuddling was still on the table and Calder nodded, not wanting to let that loophole slip. "Promise. No dunking, splashing, or drowning you. I'll be a good kelpie." Well, sorta good.
Moving over, he grinned as the boy crawled to the shallow end. "If you have problems breaking out, the mud in this swamp bed will probably do you very well." He selected a nice shallow spot and plopped down. Nap time it was! Screw homework.
Somewhere, Barth was probably smiling.
