Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cami had seen Otto dragging his skateboard out a few times and had gotten the not-so-bright idea that he should teach her how it works. She could roller skate because, who couldn't roller skate, and somehow figured that the idea would translate well. Oh how wrong she was. Now her butt was aching from hitting it on the asphalt so many times and she was fairly certain that, were it not for Kidana, she'd be more than just bruised.

Sitting on the ground, watching the board roll by for the billionth time, she let out a frustrated sound. "OTTO!" She looked back at him, sulking. "What am I doing wrong?"

Sticking her tongue out at his obvious tease she touched a hand to the arrow pendant at her neck. "You better be nice to me, Otto, or I'll end up using you for moving target practice!" Which, actually, sounded like a really fun idea. Quietly she mused how hard it would be to strap a dummy to something like a skateboard and send it rolling. Or maybe Otto would volunteer?

That'd be amazing.

Distracted by that thought she missed his question and instead has a suggestion of her own. "Why don't you help hold me up so I can sorta roll back and forth? Then you can sorta feel where I'm putting my weight?" Anyone else she would be using this moment to flirt and get up close and personal. For this she genuinely wanted to learn. At this point, though, she could at least appreciate he had skill.

Was that a challenge? "Are you challenging me?!" Light lit up her eyes at the idea but she wasn't going to do it out here. They were away from the shield that would keep him from serious harm and like hell she was going to try her luck with someone so important. Maybe she could get Rep to do it.

Cami was used to having been nagged at and badgered so to have Otto grumbling at her was nothing upsetting. She shifted slightly in the way he indicated feeling the board slide forward. She pushed her foot towards the back as if she'd somehow break or gain momentum and felt herself start to fall. Otto held her in place, thankfully, as she huffed. "Okay, let go. I got it this time."

She made it fifteen feet before falling.

Gathering herself up, scampering after the skateboard, she shook her head. "Nah, my a** is only black at the moment. I wanted it to be black and blue." Looking back at herself for a moment she sighed. "Maybe I should take up roller skating again or something, speaking of my a**. Do you think it needs help?" She turned for a moment so that Otto could see the part of her body in question before staring to stand on the board again. Carefully, without pushing off much, she leaned her weight into it again.

Slowly, steadily, she gained momentum. Arms tried to stay down at her sides as she simply used her hips and the weight of her feet to move, which was more easily said than done. Three more times she started and fell but was at least making progress before flopping down on her stomach next to Otto.

"I have no idea why I thought that looked easy when you did it. Probably because you're way good at this. It's unfair. I object." Her grin was wide. It was frustrating but she still had been having fun. "I think I won't be able to sit normally for awhile though."

Eyes rolled at his whining, reaching up to hold a hand over his face. "Use some of that pile of money you're sitting on to invest in a UV umbrella, you delicate blond flower. How long have you been on the island and you're still not used to the heat and sun?" Cami had grown up in a place not far from here, geographically speaking, and she soaked up the sun in a way only a native could. Sunburns were almost foreign to her due to her blessed heritage. The hotter the better.

"But yes, I was asking if my butt needed work. If it's attractive." She asked this rather frankly and clinically as if he were some sort of PhD in posterior attractiveness. Watching him wilt in the sun she sighed, dramatically, as if this were a major issue. "We can go home if you want. I might go swimming or something. Lots and lots of energy."

Blinking at him a bit she laughed. "Why wouldn't I ask it? I mean I haven't gotten a whole lotta interest so far since coming to the island but I guess I should be patient." Her deep sigh indicated just how she felt about that idea, perking slightly at the mention of a pool. "Wait we have a pool? I thought the only place to swim was the beach..." With the tentacle monsters that were more than happy to drag her down, beat her up a bit, and toss her back up onto the shore. Needless to say 'swimming' was an adventure she didn't much bother with.

Nudging a shoulder into Otto's side she batted her lashes up at him. "I bet you could get a buddy in to the pool for the big kid hunters. Your best buddy." Her. Obviously.

Sitting up onto her knees, wincing slightly as her heel jabbed right into a particularly tender spot on her backside, Cami wrapped arms around Otto in a big hug. "Pleeeeeeeeeeease? I really need to get in good shape so I can be a good Sun nakama or whatever the heck." As big as she could make her cornflower eyes they were, a smile hinting around her lips, irrepressible as always. To bring the point home she begged again in Spanish, then once more in her natural Creole, before going back to English. "You'd mark yourself down, cemented, forever, as the best most helpful ridiculous awesome person in the history of history. And I know. I'm a history student!"

She scrunched up her nose.

"Was. Anyway! C'mon Ottoooooo~"
