Rennia turned to look over her shoulder as Adam slowly worked off jacket, guns, boots, socks, and shirt, and rolled up his pant legs. She mused about how she'd worn very little for that particular reason, but said nothing about it. She even restrained the amused smirk that threatened to show up on her features at the thought. There was something about the suffering and discomfort of others, be it real or in jest that the fiendling enjoyed to some extent.
When he spoke she gave a nod, looking out over the lake that rippled as the wind played at it, splashing their legs with the cool water. Rennia's hands gripped lightly at the edge of the dock as she swayed back and fourth, idly passing her time as she waited for Adam. When he asked the question she let her eyes trail over for a moment before looking back forward. She replied in a neutral voice, neither sounding curious nor particularly annoyed at the question. "What about her?" She made no comment about the slamming of her brakes again though she shook her head ever so faintly.
Afterward those red orbs took to looking out over the water again. There was a certain distant look about them, as if she was zoned out, though the rest of her gave the impression that she'd be listening if Adam spoke again, that she was merely lost in thought as she waited for a reply or a question to be asked.

Adam kicks his feet ever so slightly in the water as he sits up, hands on the edge as he looks over the water. "Oh you know... nothin' ya don' want to share.. just stuff like... What she looks like... how'd ya meet..." He shrugs once more. "Stuff you enjoy talkin' about or rememberin'..." He looks to the sky once more before looking back at her.
"We could... always talk about what I created...." A wicked grin crosses his face as he raises his right hand with his pointer and thumb out, obviously referring to a gun. "But everythin' is up to you... I just feel like passin' the time..."
Adam takes in a deep breath as he releases it into a sigh of content. He hasn't relaxed in a long time and the sun feels good. He starts to wonder how he'd look with a little color on him, he's very white for always being on the road, maybe taking the jacket off and having the windows down more often would do him some good.

Rennia shifted back on the pier, moving her hands to support her as she leaned back. She tilted her head skyward and seemed to gaze off into the distance as she ponders his reply. "You're going to have to be a lot more specific in your questions if you want any answers. There's just too much one could say and I don't particularly care to sort through it all. To answer what you have asked... She was an angel, and I don't mean figuratively. I'm talking the sort with white fluffy wings. She's bout as tall as me, palish skin though not 'I've not seen the light of day in centuries' white. She kept her hair somewhat like mine, except hers was white like her feathers, and she had blue eyes. As for how we met... Well... Like one meets anyone else. They came into visual and audio range and we communicated. I imagine that's hardly surprising."
She looked over at him as he mentioned talking about what he created and she gave a shrug. "No offense but no thanks. I'm sure they work well for you.. but you don't see me sitting here talking about my gear. My car sure...but I probably know a great deal more about your truck than you do so I don't know how good of a topic that would be. Also... It's customary to provide a topic when one requests to talk with someone. Otherwise you'll find it's going to be very quiet for the next little while." After that she turned her gaze back skyward, taking in a deep breath and letting out a soft sigh, seeming to enjoy the sun on her skin, the wind in her hair, and the water lapping at her legs.

Adam ponders her words as he thinks long and hard. "Hmmm..." He leans forward to look into the water before he leans back once more. "Well... how... about...." He rocks back and forth as he kicks his feet in the water. "How did you get engaged? Like... how did you know ya wanted to marry her?" He thinks that's an innocent enough question.
Adam sort of wondered for a moment why he was at the lake, why was he brought here instead of just around the corner of the building. At first he thought she was going to be taken care of like Lennie from 'Of Mice and Men' but he figured she'd just shoot him in the face. He was slightly down he didn't get to show off his special rounds but he figured it is no skin off his bones.
Adam's thought process was askew when the words of Ciel returned to his mind about someone special to love him. Why was he asking this of Ren. Why was he questioning himself so much.

Rennia chuckled to herself softly at the question. For a moment she stayed silent, debating on whether or not she would indulge his question. After a moment she concluded she could answer it without really saying much at all. "After awhile being alone gets to be somewhat boring. So you start looking around. Spend enough time with someone, who like you is ageless.. and well.. It's better than the alternative."
"Really wasn't a hard choice, I liked her, she liked me." The woman shrugged as she went back to looking out along the lake and the horizon. Rennia of course was simply choosing to relax, either unaware of Adam's inner concerns or simply uncaring. For her she was taking a moment to relax, something she didn't do often, albeit by choice. She was a creature of work, preferring to be doing something than sitting around. Still, once and a while it helped to take her mind off the bullshit that was life. "So what's your next question, hmm?"

Adam has started to get sweaty from the sun, his muscles shining in the sun as he sat there. Adam could go into modeling if it wasn't for the scars and disposition to hating cameras. He noded to her first statement, understanding that she didn't wish to speak volumes but still offered him an answer. When her second statement came about he quickly replied. "Well I'd ask if you had any questions for me but I know you'd most likely roll your eyes and not give a shit." He chuckles as he nudges her once with his elbow in a playful manner. "Hmmm... question...question... What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" He muses, he found the old movie in the library when he was younger and he thought it was a riot. Maybe the woman had seen it during her immortal existence. However, if she did not, this would make for a soft chuckle and then awkwardness most likely.

Rennia gazed over at him, and for a moment, he might swear she was actually looking at his physical form. Could she possibly find something good about him? The moment would unfortunately pass as quickly as it came and her gaze went back to that entirely analytical one. "You'd probably be surprised what I find interesting Mister Helviath. As for your other question, I would have to ask you if you are referring to an African or a European Swallow?" If there was any doubt to her having seen the film, it would likely have been dispelled by her reply.
Afterward she went back to looking out over the lake, seeming once more to grow somewhat distant. A faint sigh would escape the fiendling before she tilted her head as she gazed at a wayward boat. "I don't suppose you'd happen to be able to tell me the answer to the ultimate question of life the universe and everything would you?" Two could always play at that game... but it was a valid question never-the-less, albeit somewhat Ironic coming from the older woman to the younger man.

Adam laughs at her answer and nods. He nods in a calm manner maybe just silently enjoying the scene would be enough. Then the question came, he knew this, he loved this. He read the book and saw the movie in theaters. "Oh that... 42...." He proceeds to kick his feet with a soft laugh. "Now... my dear... Only when you know the question will you know what the answer means...." His intelligence is showing or at least his nerdiness for the science fiction.
Adam starts to stand up and stretch, he starts to take off his jeans and underwear as he sets them gently on the dog as he simply walks forward and off the edge. He had no swimsuit and she had already caught him in the act, what would she care if he was naked again. He thought of what could go wrong but he could care less about his body. He had trained it and toned it into what he wanted, at least for now, so he figured why not swim. Adam started to tread water around as he looks at her.

So he knew the answer, Then again she wasn't overly surprised given he'd obviously seen Monty Python. The two weren't that far off so it wouldn't be much of a stretch to go between the two. Rennia could of course go other directions, Star Wars, Star Trek... all sorts, but she had no particular desire to get into nerd wars with anyone.
Her eyes watch Adam as he begins to undress further. Oh pleasant, she thought as he removed his underwear. True it was nothing she hadn't seen before, him specifically, but that didn't mean she needed to see it all the time. On the other hand... she had seen worse... a lot worse. A faint shudder ran through the daemoness as those thoughts unfortunately invaded her mind. Thankfully she was quickly able to shove the thoughts out of her mind as she moved back to the present.
She peered out over the water at him and perked a brow, giving a somewhat inquisitive gaze at the man. "Are we enjoying ourselves?" She wondered for a moment if she should tease him about leaches, but decided for the moment she would behave and let him have his fun. Besides, from where she was at, she could easily steal his clothes and leave him to wander the beach completely exposed. Now that would be amusing.

Adam nods. "I don't remember the last time I've gone swimming..." He paddles around and seems to over react slightly as the folliage of the lake touches him. "Ack!" Out of habit he seems to 'grab' his guns and point down. He of course stopped treading and began to go under with a louder. "Ack!" This little spasm would of been quite the sight. A grown man suddenly jolting as some plant grabbed his foot, he then pretends to shoot at it and then proceeds to slightly drown and flail some more as he stopped kicking and moving his arms. Thankfully this happened in the blink of an eye so he obviously realized he didn't have his guns he started to kick and tread water once more.
Adam acted like nothing had happened as he coughs a little. "So... do you go swimming often?" He seems content to pretend nothing just transpired and simply aims to continue the conversation.

Rennia's mouth parted slightly as she gazed upon the flailing maniac. It seemed the old Adam wasn't...entirely gone. Rennia couldn't help but bring her hand up to cover her mouth and giggle like a school girl. Well it was more like the low sultry chuckle she was prone to, but it still was more of a display than she normally gave. Perhaps it was just too funny, or perhaps she just merely wanted him to see she'd noticed and took amusement in his moment of flailing. "I gather it's been quite some time Mister Helviath, given your inexperience with marine plant life."
She pulled her hand back down and raised both brows at him at the question. "I swim enough... Whenever I decide I feel the need to take time off. Certainly enough to know when I'm being attacked by sea monsters or seaweed. Why do you ask Mister Helviath, looking for someone else to share in your embarrassment? I assure you I'm not liable to attempt to shoot at it... Especially in the water."

Adam nods as he keeps swimming. "Been a while..." He listens to her as he answers her with a little thought. "I would love someone else to share in my embarrassment but that's probably not gonna happen even if I pleaded...." He chuckles as he swims about. He was enjoying it and getting used to the lake. He proceeds to bare it all as he does a back stroke around and around. Showing his form as he dives under and back up. He knew how to swim and thankfully it's like a bicycle in regards to knowing it at one time or another.
"So who were all those guys at the shop? You and kristen needed extra help?" He asked this in a inquisitive tone not one of mocking or amusement. "What the hell are ya buildin' that you two can't rig up yourself..." He perks an eyebrow as he looks up at her. "Are you buildin' a robot? Oooh! Maybe you're building an airplane or space ship..." He continues to paddle around. "Maybe you're building an amphibious car...."

Rennia rolled her eyes comically as Adam mentioned it not happening if he pleaded and chuckled slowly as she watched him showboating. Occasionally she would kick her feet whenever he'd get closer to the pier, spraying water at him, not that it would do much considering he was up to his neck in water anyway. Still she would do it to get the kick out of spraying him down with water.
"They, sir, are the staff I had previously mentioned during your last trip up here. They... you know...work there. It's race season down at the track so the shop's in full swing. We've got cars coming and being worked on around the clock. Hell we had twenty go through over the weekend alone. Kristen and I work fast, but not that fast. For that you need a crew." Rennia thought back to that crowded weekend that had been such fun. She'd gotten to work on quite a few dragsters, including one of the ones she had helped build. They were truly amazing machines and she wished she could see more of them, both in the shop and on the track.
The daemoness suddenly pushed herself to her feet and seemed to begin wandering off as she made her way partially down the pier. Suddenly she'd spin around on her feet and ran for the end of the pier. As she reached the end she'd give a mighty heave of her legs and wings. The daemoness shot upward and began to rotate, her back soon aiming down towards the surface. She'd give a calculated thrust of her wings, pushing her further up until her head pointed down towards the water. At that point she'd stick both hands out before she plummeted straight into the water, wings tail and all. Despite what one might think, those wings would prove to be fairly well suited for swimming as well as her tail for underneath the water, the daemoness proved to be a bullet of another sort as she began zooming through the water at rapid speed. Eventually she'd come to the surface, taking a deep breath as she looked over at Adam.

Adam coughed a little as she kicked water into his face a few times and flailed a little bit but he laughed none the less. He watched with a slight hint of confusion and readiness to get out of the water as she started to walk away. He was about to pull himself up when he saw her spring up into the air and dive into the lake. It was a while before she surfaced and he decided to sit on the pier right before she came up for air. "Bravo!" He claps excitedly as he sits there naked. "I don't have wings but that does seem like fun...." So Adam stands up and with the speed he had trained for he bolts to the end of the pier and launches himself. Of course with not as much grace due to his lack of a swimsuit but some grace none the less. His speed allowed his jump to have some movement while he spins into his dive. He angled it more like a javelin than anything as he does one final spin into the water. He moves just barely under the surface as he comes up next to Rennia. "In all honesty I thought I was going to belly flop...."

Rennia reached up to brush her hair away from the side of her face and glanced up at the pier where he was momentarily. "Wings have a great many uses besides looks and even flight." She slowly began working her wings angling them narrower as she pushed them back and widening them out as she pulled them forward. It had the effect of pulling her backwards in the water while her hands and legs remained relatively idle. She swam backwards in a small circle before coming to a stop off to the side as she watched him dive back in. She pulls her wings up and around her as the splash came in, effectively blocking the water with them.
Afterward she opened them up and looked over at him with a shrug. "I thought you were too... a shame. T'would have been amusing." Suddenly her wings arched back until they were almost out of the water before the bent in a scooping motion as they shot forward. They bit into the water, collecting a mass of it and pushing it forward. The act of course pulled Rennia back, but not without launching a massive wave of water in Adam's direction.
