[ The month of Viola is clearly not a good time of the year to be going for a swim in Blanc. It could be worse, but it also could be far far better.
Guren had not exactly intended to involve himself in any of the city's fanfare for the day, but of course that is going to change.
Why shouldn't it? Good Samaritan status is always the best way to approach new people and show respect to the elderly or younger generations should they need assistance. ]
Damn it, get out of the water, old man!!!
[ This is exactly what Guren is doing. Supposedly.
The lieutenant colonel can be found at the docks, currently trying to get an elder citizen out of the water. The citizen is flailing oddly, somewhere along the lines of thinking he's going to drown and thus reaching for everything and anything. At the same time, though, he doesn't exactly seem to be sinking in the water or swallowing any other than what he's splashing around. What is being splashed also happens to hit Guren right in the face just as he's going to repeat himself.
Closer inspection reveals that Guren is also soaked head to toe, more so than any amount of splashing short of a tidal wave could achieve. Was he in the water, then?
Yes. Yes he was. In fact, he just dragged this senile old coot out of the water twice. He's just happened to jump back in and Guren's not quite willing to follow for a third time. As for why the old man is not drowning urging all of this (and why his yowlings of 'help help I'm gonna drown but I need me things--!! Save me things first, sonny—' are only pauses by the man's need to breathe is because he seems to have some sort of half-submerged raft he's on that's keeping him above the water but not out of it.
...Oh, wait. That is not a raft, just a giant mechanical ant (maybe ??) taking a snooze while being a designated life raft floatee to this poor citizen. Guren is actually not okay with permanently lending his carrier as the lifeguard on duty, so he's very direct in trying to get through to the elder. ]
For the last time, your stuff is not in the water. Stop being loud and crazy, it's unhealthy and a bad example to your grandkids!
[ who are, hanging out not far from this scene, eating and watching with interest the exchange between their grandfather and one of the city's heroes. They look around eight. They also are way better behaved than their senior family member. ]

[ Bolin watches with dismay as Guren punts his sheep off to the side while taking a rather spectacular dive off the dock to join the rest of them now. The thief has, thankfully, also stopped her struggle to watch with bemused horror at Guren's unadulterated rage causing the demise of the poor fluffy animal. It's a pretty sorry sight, though Bolin knows the Carrier to be fairly resilient, and sure enough it plops peacefully into the water further down the canal before resurfacing, bobbing along in the water with buoyancy that it surely shouldn't have with all that wool.
Anyway. The elderly man is now howling about a great harvest (he thinks Bolin is going to let him eat his Carrier??), and the thief restarts her struggles, Bolin tightening his hold on her while also trying to crane his heck to see how Guren is doing. ]
Hey!! Hey there! You okay?

reasonsthe record: There is absolutely nothing 'poor' about a sheep that has an insatiable bloodlust and an aggression problem to go along with it.Guren resurfaces, a bit quicker than Yun, but in a less graceful fashion and with not nearly as much buoyancy. Coughing a bit of water, he lets out a groan as his carrier floats on over to begin circling around him, the old man now on its back and declaring his majestic steed to continue forward for successful capture of what will create this 'great harvest'. ]
Yeah. [ Shifting, Guren actually takes a moment to look at Bolin (really look at him) and the disagreeable thief. God, really? ] Yo, you want help shutting her up?
[ He actually (probably) wouldn't give her a boot like he did the sheep, but, well, how does she know that? Pick your choices of action wisely, collar-fetish-lady. ]

[ Because the woman has now taken to kicking him, and one swipe of her legs winds up being just too close to aiming between his legs. Turning himself around in the water, he shoves the thief in Guren's direction, which is apparently not a gesture that the woman appreciates, yelling something about the proper etiquette in handling a lady and—
She shuts up when her shoulder bumps into Guren, sending a scathing look toward the Hero before her expression melts into something considerably more surprised. Pleasantly surprised.
The cold water of the canal is certainly the best place for a first date as she cozies up to the older man, murmuring something lewd while Bolin just gapes.
The audacity of some people. ]
Sure, I'm a pervert, when you're the one feeling up innocent guys!
7 weeks later... /sweat
Guren himself doesn't seem particularly bothered (closer inspection would reveal he actually doesn't even seem to be paying attention to her or otherwise noticing her presence at all), simply taking her by the arm with one hand and moving to grab onto Crunchy to halt his circle laps. The carrier seems to get what it's supposed to do in this case, immediately moving to the dock to climb up and help him get up onto the dock with thief latched onto him more than he is to her. ]
Upsy-daisy, kid. [ he calls back to Bolin. Time for you to get out of the water, too.
The mechanical ant collapse with a flop on the dock, the old man too much weight for its spindly legs now that it's not floating in the water. The old man does not seem to notice his transportation has passed out, however, and his grandchildren at least finally come to interfere and assist Crunchy.
With Guren finally going to stand up, completely drenched and weighed down even more by the equally soaked collar-thief than his clothing contributes, looking less amused with the creepy lewd individual that clearly has some strange priorities. ]
You gonna turn her in or what? [ He's not sure what the other hero's intentions are-- he could just want whatever she stole (he still doesn't know any better on what that actually is) --but he'll give him the option, at least.
...Not to mention, the opportunity by specifically not allowing himself to simply... knock her back into the water and leave like nothing happened. ]
