Shawn quickly turned his head at the sound of someone approaching on the dock.........but he relaxed, and smiled, when he saw it was only Ivy..
"Hello! Shawn, right?......" she said sweetly, after climbing onto the dock beside him. "What is this? Well, i know it's a boat....i thought the goddess would give us one since this is an Island surround by water.....but it's quite big! Biggest one i have ever see......can we drive it??"
He just smiled at her multiple questions, and watched as she stopped for only a few seconds to squint and shield her face from the sun with her hand. "Also, would you like to go swimming? I don't trust myself alone in the water....."
"Well first, it is Shawn.....and if i remember properly, you're Ivy....." he responded with a smile "Second, it's what they call a houseboat. Very popular in certain parts of Europe, and moderately popular among the more financially well off in America.....& elsewhere. I've been on a few before, and my family has one.....but this one, well it's a tid bit different....." Shawn stopped speaking for a moment so he could hop up onto one of the outdoor bar stools ".....it doesn't seem to be drivable. But it makes quite the hangout spot, eh? and sure.......we can go for swim if you choose." he finished, before suddenly pulling his shirt off and throwing it on the bar counter beside him.....revealing his naturally toned chest, marked only by his cross tattoo. which sat almost parallel from his heart.
"I no lifeguard, but i'm sure i wont let ya drown........now if a shark comes about" Shawn sarcastically shrugged his shoulders......before laughing.
"Don't worry about that last bit.......we'll be fine........" he reassured her, before sliding off the boat and making his way to the other side of the dock........where he'd sit on the railing for only a few seconds, before for falling back into the ocean.....much like a diver would.
Shawn would be out of sight for thirty seconds or so, before finally appearing several feet back from the boat.
"You coming?" he yelled up to Ivy.
"Hello! Shawn, right?......" she said sweetly, after climbing onto the dock beside him. "What is this? Well, i know it's a boat....i thought the goddess would give us one since this is an Island surround by water.....but it's quite big! Biggest one i have ever see......can we drive it??"
