WARNINGS: None

i - Swimming or... non-consensual jousting

Swimming isn't something York is... familiar with. Sure, he's been to the beach before, he's gone in water, but swimming? For fun? Never done it. Androids are thankfully waterproof and Stark models are no exception to that. So he's out in the water at the start, testing out treading water and swimming laps.

It's easy enough information to access too, already in his saved data.

It's when the Agrii join in that things go... awry.

Being smaller in stature compared to other He Rows and to the Agrii themselves - and also the latter's lack of boundaries - is how York found himself out of the water. On someone's shoulders Fending for himself in a game of water jousting that he was not familiar with. The alien holds him firmly thankfully, but York doesn't have enough strength to win against his opponents. "Put me down!" he barks, trying and failing to kick his feet in between rounds. Instead another opponent comes near him, ready to try and knock him over.

ii - something about alfred hitchcock

He's done something like this before. On another planet, a long time ago.

York's throwing rocks at birds, trying to keep them away from the food. It's easy for him to do this task since he doesn't actually have to focus on eating, and his aim is - unfortunately - pretty decent. The birds do not like this, of course, and eventually, York has to abandon the food and run. The distraction at least somewhat worked as the bird fly angrily after him, cawing at him until he gets to the water and dives under.

He swims out hopefully far enough to peek his head up enough so he can watch the avian creatures circle around in the sky over him.

iii - WILDCARD

{got an idea? let's see how it plays out!}

Water jousting isn't something Leo has done in a long time, but he's familiar with the game; he and his brothers did plenty of water games back in the sewers (gross as others might think it is). So when the Agrii kidnap him to play, he's surprised, but not exactly unopposed.

Unlike York, he hasn't been doing too badly; he's lost some rounds, but won others. When the Agrii angle him towards York, he can't help but smirk when he sees the guy's plight.

"Not having fun getting dunked over and over?" he calls.

"Not particularly, no," he calls back as the Agrii move towards each other to put Leo and York in range. The android looks apprehensive, but has his hands up all the same. He probably won't win against reptile, but he doesn't want to just metaphorically roll over, either.

"Thankfully my system doesn't react negatively to water. Just don't like how they plucked me up for this without asking, fuckers."

"Ah, that almost makes me feel bad for totally kicking your metal butt."

Leo grins, readying his hands for the fight.

"Almost."

The grin would say otherwise, so York remarks on it with an easy "no you're not. You're nowhere near feeling bad," the android says as he readies himself for the fight as well.

The Agrii move closer and it's clear this close that York seems to have figured out emulating nervousness. It doesn't help that the android has never really been the easiest to get along with, so doubtful anyone would put it past another person having a grudge with him.

"Heh, would you believe me if I said I was sorry for all my bad shit in the past?" But there's not a lot of confidence in saying that even with his hands raised up in being as ready as he can be to 'fight'.

He definitely isn't anywhere near feeling bad. Especially since he knows it won't damage York. Now he has free reign to do what he wants!

"Maybe," he answers as his Agrii moves him closer. "Unfortunately for you, it doesn't mean I won't do... this!"

So saying, he ducks down and aims a grapple at York's torso, aiming to throw him backwards and into the water.

Yeah, there's no way York can expect this kind of grapple, and it's clear that his Agrii doesn't expect it either with how they shift their feet to keep upright. Maybe it'll be surprising for Leo that York isn't as squishy like a human would be, but all firm like his own hard shell.

The Agrii under him lets out a surprised yelp as York holds on with his legs locked in and holds out on giving in so easily. He is so out of his element here - they don't have programming like this for Stark models! He grabs onto Leo's shoulders to try and shove him back, feeling the Agrii beneath him holding on tighter to help keep him stable.

It's not that surprising, since he knew York wasn't human. Most of his roughhousing growing up was against tough shells and solid torsos, so this isn't a deterrent.

He'll jerk up, trying to buck York's hands off his shoulders. His poor Agrii is just getting dragged along with him now. At least Leo is careful not to choke them.

It's also not like swimming was a thing the Stark household did. Of course not, they were too precious to get wet. Like show dogs or something. Or a groomed poodle.

The bucking gets him to loosen his hold and that focus is pulled away with his Agrii pulling at his legs so they can breathe. Unlike the android holding on, air is a necessity for them! "Sorry," he mumbles before loosening into an easier locked hold and attention going back to Leo. "Seems you've got skills in this. An advantage, since the only time I've really been in water is after the explosion of a freighter ship."
