Maya,
I would not dream of doing such a barbaric thing to you; that is, unless you agree to take proper revenge, and do the same thing back to me.
Nonsense. In this way we will both fulfill the quest requirements together, and neither of us shall suffer the shame of being cold, wet and miserable in the out-doors alone. Perhaps we will even have some fun.
anyway!! he definitely didn't type anything else!! he's also definitely showing up down by the docks, as promised, presumably after giving her a more specific spot to meet up. Unsurprisingly, he's also a little early; he waves at her when he spots her, his smile not belying any of the hesitation he's feeling now that he's actually standing out here in the cold... ]
Fair enough. [ he still can't believe she adopted that horrible goose. ] Your passionate spirit is pretty admirable, but it probably won't cut it for keeping warm, though. We can go back to my house afterwards and dry off.
[ beckoning her to come with!! the docks await... and the very cold harbor. ]
[ but if Maya learned self-preservation, then who would Lupin get to do stupid shit with in town?!? Nobody!! He's having some misgivings for sure, but, well, here he is. When they reach the nearest edge, he comes to a halt; then, after a few seconds of self-preparation, he shrugs off his jacket in a heap on the boardwalk before beginning to unbutton his vest.
(At least he can avoid soaking all his clothing.) ]
I don't know. Your willpower seems awfully warm and protective from where I'm standing. [ a beat. ] Sorry for getting a little indecent, but I don't want to get too weighed down.
[ he's just talking about taking off his shirt but he's #victorian ]
I'm well aware, Miss Maya, but I didn't have a choice in the matter last time.
[ he knows she's not talking about his wardrobe malfunction from last year, but he can't help but joke about it anyway. If he doesn't laugh about it, he'll cry... In any case, he's relieved she stops at her jacket, because he has delicate sensibilities. She's actually more modest without that heartboob monstrosity on. ]
All right. Now, the best way to do this would probably be to stand facing one another and push.

Lupin!! Do you want to toss me in the sea???
[ No hi, no how are you, Maya has no time for pleasantries. ]

Yours,

I think that might be a little excessive??
But sure, I won't get in the way of your dreams.

Well, I can't say I never liked your optimism. Sure, let's go wild!

Sure! I'll see you then, Lupin!

Yo. Feeling adventurous today, huh?

[ Maya definitely looks as bright and chipper as ever, shifting from foot to foot. ]
And if I hold onto it, maybe it'll keep me warm after I drag myself out of the water!

It's true that towels are a lot more outwardly effective than sheer strength of will... probably fluffier too.

I promise this won't be the first time I've seen a shirtless man, believe it or not.
[ As she also shucks off her jacket. Her shirt, though? That stays on. ]

Just kind of push and drag at the same time, then?
no subject
Dragging might be a little harder. Do you think it won't count if we're pushing instead of throwing?
[ hmm. maybe he should have thought about the logistics of this a little more... ]
