Nihi Sumba, Sumba Island, Indonesia, Monday Evening

The sun might be setting, but the temperatures are barely dropping, and there's still plenty to do if relaxing for the evening isn't your idea of fun.

"Oh this is the most beautiful place I have ever seen" Kurt gushed with a wide grin. "I could just sit and stare at it all and never feel like moving. And at the same time I feel like I am missing so much when I only get around to one, maybe two activities each day" he added with a small laugh as he tightened his grips slightly in return and shifted a little closer as he did, swinging his feet a little in the pool as he did.

With as much attention as she'd been spending on the space in between them, Libby felt her breath catch, just a little, when Kurt shifted closer, and without knowing if she should do the same or shift away for decency's sake, she stiffened a little as if to resolve to not move one way or the other.

"I definitely want to get in as much as I can," she said. "And then I can just come out here and relax afterward. Kind of perfect, really..."

Kurt nodded, noticing the change in how Libby was sitting and holding herself. He stared down into the pool for a moment, trying to decide what to do that would break the sudden tension before it got too bad while not making things any more awkward. He eventually turned and looked at Libby with a smile.

"Think a swim sounds pretty good before turning in. Wanna join me?" he asked as he gave her hand a slight squeeze before slowly letting go and starting to slip off the ledge and into the pool. He had debated taking off the t-shirt he was wearing but decided to keep it on... all things considered.

Libby's brain and its continued ability to function properly appreciated the discretion.

"I'm still not very good at swimming, I'm afraid," she said quietly, although it should be noted, when Kurt moved away and slipped into the pool, she may have scooted a little bit closer to the edge herself, leaning forward, as if in anticipation for just diving in herself here shortly.

"We can stay over here, in the shallower end..." Kurt offered as he ducked under the water a minute to get himself fully wet and then poked back up and stood up. "Can easily touch the bottom but still deep enough to get wet and all."

Kurt hesitated, biting his lip slightly, almost forgetting somehow that he had fangs that kept him from worrying his lips like that usually. He looked at Libby and then gave a little sigh as he reached up and held a hand up to her.

"I could help ya get a little more comfortable and all..." he offered with a smile.

The moment Kurt made the offer, Libby's face lit up with a smile, and there was no hesitation in taking his hand this time.

"I would like that," she said, now scooting forward enough to drop into the pool with him, "thank you."

Kurt smiled as he took Libby's hand and helped her in. He gave her hand another light squeeze and then started to half float, half swim as he backed away, pulling her forward a little before letting go somewhat reluctnatly.

"We'll stay here on this side till you're ready," he reminded her with an encouraging grin.
