Boxer had tried to sell some papes and actually hadnt done too bad. Shed managed to sell about 15, it was the basic amount that most newbies started with. She wasnt the best at it yet, but it was her second time by herself since that day Jack had showed her.
Boxer made her way down to the river, the small deck she was on went a few feet over the water till it was a bit deeper, a ladder connected to the one side. She looked around, glad to see no one was around and then pulled off her top layers. Her body was wraped in shirts and she unwrapped them before pulling her undershirt back on over her head and shimmied out of her pants. The undershirt came down to about mid thigh, she figured that would be enough for now.
Boxer crawled down the ladder reaching for her clothes and the bar of soap shed stolen earlier. She proceeded to scrub her clothes clean. After rinsing them out she climbed back up to lay them down on the dock, letting the warm sun dry them. She then went back into the water to clean herself up.
She cleaned her body, lifting the shirt before pushing it back down, the water clinging it against her body. She dipped her head back wetting her hair and then proceeded to clean that as well. It felt so good to be clean. Granted this wasnt the cleanest water, but you gotta do what you gotta do. |

Ian was walking towards the river. He was just roaming around today, not really having anything to do. He was bored, and hot. But there was no way he would get into the water, his clothes were much too nice to put onto the ground, or go swimming in. He'd just deal with the heat as long as he could, which would be pretty long, he had a good sense of self-control when it came to the heat or the cold.
He noticed a girl in the river, being the typical man he was, he decided to watch her. Sure it was a stalker's behavior, but he was just curious and bored.

Boxer had been so happy over her 'bath' she hadnt noticed anyone nearby. She finished with her hair and made her way back over to the ladder and climbed half way up it to drop the soap back onto the dock.
As her head popped up over the dock, she stilled, her senses prickling and she spotted him. A frown creased her brow.
"What are you doing?"she asked, accusation in her eyes as she dropped from the ladder and landed back into the water till the water covered her up to her shoulders, her arms coming up to cover her top even though it was under the water already; reactionatory. She was touching the bottom where she was so it was a easy to stay afloat. |

"What are you doing?"
Ian shrugged, "I got bored so I went for a walk as usual, and I ended up here." He replied smirking, looking her over. From what he could see she was very pretty, she had dark brown hair and a blueish color of eyes.
His signature smirk crept back onto his face, if he was paid a penny for every time he smirked, he'd be two times richer than he already was. That was just his ego, and how many times it was fed by compliments from girls, and his parents' friends. "I can ask you the same thing, what are you doing?" He asked, pushing his hands into his pockets.

"I got bored so I went for a walk as usual, and I ended up here."
She continued to frown at him. "You were watching"she said, "Most people make their presence known"She retorted. The guy standing before her was attractive, she would admit that, but attractiveness was nothing to her when she felt vulnerable like she did. She felt very... naked and aside from the undershirt she practically was. It didnt help that the undershirt was pretty much see through now, thank god the water wasnt.
"I can ask you the same thing, what are you doing?"
Boxer raised an eyebrow at him. "Please dont tell me you seriously need me to explain why me or .. well anyone would be doing in water"she said. "You dont look like your mentally challanged. Then again looks can be deceiving"she quipped. |

"Most people make their presence known"
Ian shrugged and smirked, "Guess I'm not like most people then." He replied. He didn't mean to watch, he wasn't perverted despite some people's opinions. He wasn't, and he didn't mean to make her feel uncomfortable. "Sorry, I didn't mean to." He said, staring at his feet.
"Please dont tell me you seriously need me to explain why me or .. well anyone would be doing in water. You dont look like your mentally challanged. Then again looks can be deceiving"
Ian frowned, he wasn't used to girls firing back thing at him. Usually they giggled, and went all school girlish. Change could be good, sometimes. "Well uh, no. I don't need you to explain it. I get it now. I'm not stupid or anything."

"Guess I'm not like most people then."
"hm...' She tilted her head a bit studying him. Well he didnt look like another newsie, far too nicely dressed. He was either a liar or of higher status then her... wealth wise anyway.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to."
She was surprised when he appologised and actually looked like he meant it. She still gave him a suspicious look, she wasnt quick to trust anyone. Boxer bit her lip a bit and shrugged. 'alright...'She said. "I believe you"she looked around before bringing her light blue gaze back to him.
"Well uh, no. I don't need you to explain it. I get it now. I'm not stupid or anything."
"Well thats a relief"she muttered. Sometimes she could be very retortive (so not a word lol) without realizing it.
"are you going to swim?"She asked, "or just stand there? I can leave if you want, if not either you leave or turn around so I can get out"She said. She didnt care if he wanted to swim, it was big enough for the two of them, nor did she care if he just wanted to well whatever he wanted to do but she wanted to have her footing and get her clothes on. She felt that if she had her clothes on she would be more of a match to him or something. |

"are you going to swim? or just stand there? I can leave if you want, if not either you leave or turn around so I can get out"
For once, Ian was at loss for words. He couldn't think of anything to say, and he probably wasn't going to be able to say it properly. He opened his mouth, "Well I um, no, I'm not going to swim." He didn't understand how people could swim in such dirty water, he wasn't a big fan of swimming himself.
He ran his hand through his hair, wondering where his smooth-talking self was. Normally he was very charming, and very smart-mouthed around ladies, but today he wasn't. He was chewing on the inside of his cheek without noticing it, "I'll turn around." He said quietly, but loud enough for her to hear him.

Boxer watched him, raising a brow as she waited for him to answer. "no?"she said and shrugged "alright then...." She didnt know this boy, but she noticed that since meeting him his word usuage dropped a bit.
When he said he would turn around, she nodded. She couldnt fullly enjoy swiming if she knew he was up there. Besides it was kind of creepy. She waited for him to turn around before making her way to the ladder. She lifted herself up, keeping her eyes on him to make sure he didnt turn around. She didnt trust him.. hell she didnt really trust anybody.
her undershirt clung to her like a second skin, practically see through and she shivered at the breeze that hit her as she got on the dock and bent to collect her stil damp clothes. She didnt have time for them to dry so she just started to pull them on anyway. She could handle being damp, shed been wet before.
((sorry took so long. I been really busy  )) |

"no? alright then...."
Ian bit his lower lip, he was never good in awkward situations. He stared at the ground in front of him, the grass was scarce. Probably from people walking up and down to get to the docks. So there was a lot of dirt with a few blades of grass here and there.
He didn't know when to turn back around, if he turned around now and she was changing he'd get himself into more trouble than he already probably was. He sighed slightly, and put his hands into his pockets. "Um, can I turn around now?" He called out.

Once she had finished putting her clothes on, she pulled her hair out from inside her shirt and let it hung over her shoulders. The went ends getting her shirt even more wet. She tugged at her clothes and then bit her lip, it was best she could get.
At his question she looked back up at him. "Oh um.. yeah"She said, "its safe"
She crossed her arms over her chest and watched him with suspicious eyes. "Whats your name?"She asked.
(*sorry that sucked lol*)
