Rin wasn't sure whether she liked the cat or not yet. So she acted like herself.
"Hi," she said simply.
"Yeah, Rin, this is a friend of mine." Then he turned to Patch. "She'll seem a little grumpy at first, but don't worry, she's great when you get to know her!"
"Quit talking about me as if I'm not here, Haru!" Rin snapped.
Hatsuharu laughed. "Aw, come on, Rin. It's okay!"

Patch didn't know what to do, so she just stood there. She looked at Haru, then at Rin. She didn't want to cause these two to fight... "Haru told me you liked to come to this spring a lot. I come here often too. I'm surprised I haven't seen you here before." She said, trying to come up with a conversation..

Rin shrugged. "Maybe we have seen each other. I keep to myself." She still wasn't sure whether to dislike or like Patch. She was really nice... the hyperness was a little annoying, but she wasn't that hyper right now anyway.

"Maybe." Patch replied. She glanced at Haru for help. She didn't know what else to say.
((Bleh xp! Sorry for the short post. My muse is supper low. I might modify it next time...))

(('Sokay))
"Hey guys, why don't we all swim? It's pretty hot out and it could really help to cool us down. 'Specially you, Rin, covered in black the way you are!"
"But Haru--" Rin protested.
Hatsuharu already knew quite well that Rin didn't enjoy swimming. "You should try it. If anything goes wrong, I'll be sure to help you, okay?"
Rin sighed. "Fine, but if your friend decides she doesn't like swimming, I'm not going in either."

"I've never heard of cats swimming before...." Patch replied. She posed before continuing, and a big smile came across her face, "Sounds like fun."

Rin sighed quietly and headed to the stream, which was a few foxlengths away from them.
"I'm not going in until you're in, Haru," she stated.
And Hatsuharu complied, jumping in, loving the feel of the icy water. He had a longer pelt, so it would take a while to dry, but he didn't mind. He'd always enjoyed swimming, even as a kit.
Boy had he scared his parents when he jumped into the stream the way he had so long ago.
"Come on! Water's fine! It's not even that deep!" He called to them.
Rin groaned and went into the water, staying where she could feel the ground. She wasn't quite sure if she could swim at all, so she didn't want to take chances. Her pelt was fairly long too, and the she-cat, the oldest of the three, made a face.
"It's going to take forever for me to dry off, Haru," she complained.
"Well, it'll keep you cool throughout the day! You should be thanking me!"

Patch laughed. She ran, and jumped in. She couldn't touch, but she didn't mind. She swam over to Haru. "This is great!" She exclaimed. She swam a circle around him, then laughed again. "This is so fun!" She said happily.

"Yep," Hatsuharu agreed.
Rin was watching the water, wondering if there were any fish in the stream.
Haru laughed. "Fishing, Rin?"
"Might as well," Isuzu (Rin's her nickname) replied simply. She didn't quite like Patch, too energetic for her taste. But she also liked how light the she-cat could be.

"Oh, you can fish? I never was good at that." Patch stated as she swam. She swam upstream a little ways, then went underwater.

"It's one of the reasons she comes to the stream," Hatsuharu explained. He watched as the black she-cat lashed out one paw suddenly. The paw sent a fish flying onto the solid ground.
"Good catch! It's huge!"
Rin nodded, concentration on the water again.

"That's cool!" Patch said. She swam back over to where Haru, and Rin where, but she made sure she stayed out of Rin's way, in case she caught another fish.

"Be quiet. Fish can hear, and loud noises will scare them away," Rin hissed at Patch, words a little sharp. That's not how she'd intended them to be, though. Nor were they quite snapping, or annoyance yet. Just the faintest trace of irritation had been in her voice.
Hatsuharu sent Patch a quick apologetic glance. He knew his friend had a hot temper, maybe he shouldn't have had Patch meet her, considering the younger she-cat was rather sensetive.

Patch gave the faintest smile at Haru's apologetic look. She gave a flicker of her ear, as the wind changed direction. "Sorry," She whispered. She slowly backed away, not scarring the fish away.

"She's like this with everyone. Even me," Hatsuharu told Patch. And to prove it, he purposely made a lot of splashes, no doubt scaring any fish near him away.
"Haru!" Rin snapped, glaring at the tom. "Quit that! You're acting like a kit! Are you trying to get on my nerves on purpose?"
"Sorry, Rin," Hatsuharu replied with a smile. "But you know you love me anyway." Of course, he didn't mean love, but more the friendship love.
Rin rolled her eyes, not admitting it was true.
