Antimony bared xet teeth at him. "It means 'ass mucous', an' that's what you are!"

[Red Lion]

"I fight you!" said Burt taking a swing, only to be caught mid-punch by Bert. Bert hefted him by his collar and threw him into the ocean with a growl.

[uncledaddy]

"You'll stay there if you know what's good for ya!" called Antimony, kicking sand in Burt's general direction.

[Red Lion]

Burt sputtered and flopped, "I can't swim!"

[uncledaddy]

"Good!" Antimony pulled a face at him.

[Red Lion]

Bert put an arm around him, "Come on, let's empty this bucket and get back to fishing,"

[uncledaddy]

Antimony nodded and walked along with him, throwing a glance back at Burt to see that he stayed where he was.

[Red Lion]

Burt eventually floated to the shore in a tangle of sea weed.

[uncledaddy]

Antimony kicked more sand at him as they passed by with the new bucket.

[Red Lion]

"Hey Antimony, there's something I gotta talk to you about," said Bert.

[uncledaddy]

Antimony looked at him. "What?"

[Red Lion]

"Well, you know next semester is coming up and the next boxing events are going to be in Barcelona, the boxing team is going to be required to study in Spain for three months," said Bert.

[uncledaddy]

"That's a long time," said Antimony.

[Red Lion]

Bert threaded his fingers through Antimony's, "Yeah, I know...you know, if you want me to stay, I will."

[uncledaddy]

Antimony shook xet head. "Nuh-uh, you go," xe replied. "Jus' make sure you send me letters!"

[Red Lion]

Bert gave xet a kiss, "Of course I will!"
