We were, but I could touch the bottom then. So I think that counts more as standing than swimming. And if I remember right I didn't exactly plan on swimming that day. [Thanks for pushing him in with his clothes still on Nami.] And I won't try to dunk you anymore. Lesson learned.

Oh, I didn't realize that. Sure. [She wants to reassure him about the dunking, but it's still good he avoid it. Love or not, survival is a strong instinct. And she let love override survival once before and death occurred so there's always that.] Swimming is a good thing to know. Especially since we hit water planets occasionally. You're on the planet, right? Doesn't look like the Iskaulit. [Though it's mostly his face in the frame.]

Yeah! I am! I'll send you my coordinates because I have a new swimsuit I want to show you! [One that shows off his chest.]

Oh yeah? [She smiles.] This starting to sound less about learning swimming. [Though she's still definitely expecting a body suit since she doubts it's entirely private wherever he is.

No, no! I want to learn how to swim. Besides if I learn how to swim maybe we can go skinning dipping later. [He says with his large eyebrows wagging and a smirk on his face.]

Now it definitely doesn't sound like learning to swim. [Just teasing at this point.] Let me find a suit, and I'll join you.

Great! I'll see you soon! [He waits with excitement for her to arrive. Hoping that she will be pleased by what he's done and healing from over the last couple weeks. He'll be waiting for to join him and wearing his coat. Smiling brightly when he spots her.] Kitty! Over here!

[The coat is even more expected than a wetsuit. He'll probably wear it into the water knowing him.] I see you. Hard to miss all in red. [She smiles as she gets closer.]

Yeah? Then maybe I should undress a little. I would hate for someone to notice us way out here. [His cheeks and ears turn a soft shade of red as he attempts to be seductive.] And, well, there was actually something I wanted to show you.

[He starts to remove his jacket and as he slides it off his shoulders the first thing she'll probably notice is he's not wearing his armor underneath this time. In fact his chest is bare. As in completely bare. The metal grate is now completely gone. Even the chunk of missing skin it once rested over was looking a bit better. Amazing what a skilled doctor could do.] I ah, I hope you approve.

[When he starts to strip it off she figures he's just teasing or maybe he's serious and playtime before swimming lessons. When the chest is bare she almost blushes since she's not used to him being so open outdoors and maybe it really is playtime which she isn't not into. She kind of likes the being out in the open scenario. The sense of danger and the heat of how much you have to need each other to want to risk it. Then the coat falls away and what he reveals is not the familiar Vash chest but one that has been healed more professionally? Or at least more modernly? At least in part.]

When? ...How? [She should probably be more careful in her reaction since he's clearly looking for some affirmations here, but she's so surprised that it's just happened. They'd talked about it before, but she didn't think he was taking any steps toward it. She reaches out with fingertips skimming just above the surface, not sure if the flesh was safe to touch yet.]

[His cheeks flush slightly. A little embarrassed by a fuss being made over him even if he can understand her surprise.] It sort of happened kind of fast. [Because he rushed it a bit. Wanting to do it before he changed his mind.] I met a doctor on the fleet. New guy and goes by the name Undertaker. [He chuckles. He knows it sounds bad.] He's actually a really nice guy and a really good doctor.

We found and bought some equipment on a planet that would let him see how deep down the metal went. When he looked it actually turned out to not be very deep. He said it would actually be really quick and fairly easy to remove so I told him he could go ahead.

I don't know if you remember the day I told you I was going to staying somewhere else for the night a couple weeks back? I, ah, I don't know why but I sort of wanted to surprise you? I hope it's a good one?

I remember. [Of course she remembers. She has a hard time sleeping alone. And she wondered if something was wrong, but she didn't ask. She accepted it breezily or at least appeared to because that's what she does with Vash.]

Yeah, I mean... You did it for you I hope, but it's good. [She thinks it's good. Metal not in the body should tend to be better when possible although there are exceptions. He seems healthy, but she feels uncomfortable at the thought of him doing it for her. It's a massive change to his body after all. And it probably came with some risk. I mean, maybe we should get into the Undertaker thing since he was a god of death or something. At least he said something like that when they talked. Her thoughts aren't all too focused on it at the moment.]

Why didn't you tell me? I could have flown you or something.

I did, but you still inspired me to be brave enough to do it.

[He shrugs.] I dunno. When I first went over I thought we'd just be looking. It went from looking to doing so fast I was worried if I waited at all for anything I might change my mind. I didn't want to do that.

We're looking at a bit doing a bit more. Fixing up a few more scars and ah-- [Both his ears and cheeks go bright red. He even clears his throat before speaking.] Um, he thinks he might even be able to put my other nipple back. I promise to tell you about everything else going forward.

I inspired you? [Sure, it was one of he first things he said, but it stuck out. It's such a nice and good way of putting it. Her mind keeps trying to spin things to the dark side. Bad mind. Things can just be good sometimes. She smiles at him and moves closer, finally bringing her hand down to lightly touch his skin.]

Does it hurt?

Actually, if I'm being honest? I wouldn't have even thought to do it without you. I would have kept hiding. [He smiles warmly and wraps his arms loosely around her waist as she touches his chest. Wanting to pull her into a lose hug.] So thank you for helping me be a better person.

[He shakes his head at the question.] It did at first, but not anymore. [Now he his smile turns into a playful grin.] One of the benefits of being what I am. I tend to heal fast.

[She slides her hand up and around his neck so she can press closer in a hug.] I do appreciate that about you. Still pretty slow about it compared to the guy who trained me, but maybe you'll catch up. [She smiles a little. Even knowing what she knows about later Logan according to Kurt it's hard to kick what he always meant to her.]

You were always a pretty great person, you know?

[Slowly and gently he rests his forehead against her own. Smiling happily.] Oh? So I have some competition then. I better not slack off.

And I don't know if I would go that far. I don't even know how to swim properly! [He says it as a joke. Intends it to be a joke. The problem is he believes he's not a good or great person.]

Better not. Keep yourself all healed and healthy. [Not that he was in competition for anything else with Logan.]

You know, not that high on my list of priorities for greatness. Maybe if we were stranded on an island.

Yeah, but I want to be great for you. Think you could give me some pointers?

Well, first I'd suggest accepting that you already are.

Only because you make me that way. [He steals a kiss as he says this.]

[She allows this kiss magnanimously!] Oh, no. You don't get away that easy. You were already pretty great before I got to you. It's very rare I make a positive impact on anyone I'm around. [Hi, this is her issue with feeling like she ruins people who already good. She's bad at hiding things.]

Well, you have me. [He takes her hand and places it over the patch of skin that the grate once covered.] And you go more than skin deep to me.

[She lets her palm rest there. It's not completely smooth, but it's a far cry from a metal grate. Her eyes meet his.] You're going to start making me think nice things about myself and then where will we be?

[Vash hums as if thinking about it. Even tapping at his chin for comedic effect.] In a place where we're both becoming better people?
