We Broke The Game

Chapter 8

"How about the pool?" Kam asked looking around the group. Everyone agreed, except Altaïr, who wanted to be a party pooper.
"I will lock you in a room, tied up, blasting my music into your ears if you do not agree," Marriel stated trying to threaten the Assassin, "You don't even have to walk into the water."
"As if your music would make me break, I am an Assassin," Altair stated proudly even tho he really didn't want to listen to her music, he already had enough of it for that day.
"Oh it's an actual technique, you can get people to surrender by using music. The military even uses it time to time," Marriel pointed out, "I can blast non-stop music Altaïr, if you want to play the game I'll do it." Marriel saw his form sag a bit in defeat. Kam chuckled knowing Altaïr would give in.

"Sure," Altaïr grumbled and a chorus of "yay!"-s erupted throughout the group.
"Uh, Marriel, I didn't get the bathing suits?" Kam asked thinking about it.
"Well I wasn't going to have my group try them on so I bought a bunch, plus I thought we might think of the pool later," Marriel replied.

"C'mon lets go get dressed I'll go get them out. Shay, can you go get Haytham, also here is yours and his," Marriel adresssed them. Shay took the two, his was red and black and Haytham's was a blue brighter then a navy but still decently dark. Shay inspected them slightly as he went downstairs to Haytham.

"I'll help you," Kam said to Marriel, shuffling through the many colors and sizes of swim trunks. Soon they handed it out to everyone and explained how you wear one. Ezio had red and white striped trunks, Connor has a simple bright blue with a white lining around the legs and waist, Altair had plain white ones, and Edward had a sky blue colored pair. Marriel and Kam returned into their rooms to change into their swim suits.

Everyone was dressed and ready they went downstairs and outside to their large swimming pool. The girls had wanted their swimming pool to be slightly unique, so they had it look like the water was coming down from rocks, almost like a real waterfall, into the pool.

"Connor! Jacob! Pool!" Marriel yelled and the two darted off out the door. Desmond didn't like the pool the best, but he liked to lounge around near it. The guys filled out and Kam was behined a grumpy Altaïr who wasn't happy with the current situation. Haytham was practically a little child meeting his favorite super hero as he saw Edward. Yet he didn't make any move to speak to him, he just looked at him. Marriel walked up to Edward when he walked out.

"Hey, uh, could you talk to Haytham? He looks like he is going to pee himself in excitement to see you agian," Marriel suggested to Edward.
"I dont see a problem in that, he is my son after all," He replied walking towards Haytham. Shay decided to go over to Marriel since he was following Haytham around.

"C'mon Altaïr, just a little dip in the pool! It won't kill you!" Kam yelled.
"I'd rather not Kam," he replied calmly back. Meanwhile when the two were bickering Ezio was sneaking up behind him.
"Really, please, it will be fun!" Kam laughed splashing him a bit. Altaïr backed up into Ezio, who got a grip on Altaïr and threw him in. Kam was laughing as well as Ezio as he jumped in after. Altaïr kicked and punched at the water, trying to mimick how the others perfectly stayed a float. While he was splashing around water got onto the little white kitten and Desmond who were perched up on a sunny rock.

"Calm down Altaïr! You'll naturally float!" Marriel said when she finally caught her breathe. But he didn't listen so Kam had to help him get to the part of the pool where his feet could touch the bottom. Connor casually sat on the waterfall rocks his feet splashing in the water a bit. Dog Connor was splashing around as Jacob moved his little legs as fast as he could to keep up.

"So, Mi- I mean Marriel, do you do this often, come out here? Like that?" Shay asked. Marriel scrunched her eyebrows confused. Then she remembered the fashion of that time, women weren't too keen on showing that much skin to so many people.
"Yes I come out here often, or I go to the river and lake. And, ah, yes I come out here, like this, when I intend to swim. It is our modern fashion for swim wear," She replied awkwardly, she felt slightly uncomfortable wearing her suit now. She usually was only with the dogs or Kam, whom could really care-less about what Marriel looked like. But now she was around a bunch of guys.
"I do not mean to offend or make you uncomfortable, I was just wondering," Shay replied almost apologizing.
"It's fine, I just realized that I'm around a bunch more people then I'm used to," Marriel replied giving a small smile. She turned on the radio at a low volume and looked back to Shay.
