[Justine shivers at Connor's touch while a warm smile spreads across her lips. This isn't her first instance with the gentle touch of a claw but there is something about the way that Connor moves that gently wraps Justine in a blanket of warmth. He might be a robot but he is one of a kind in every way.]

Oh? Then I'll stay close to you.

I wish I could see under water. [Maybe she can think of a spell for the next full moon. Justine has no plans to leave Connor's side any time soon and it'd be nice to swim with him. Hopefully there won't be an induced winter and the water can be a touch warmer.]

I'm glad that you're doing well. I always wish I could do more. [More so since he fight with Harry.] Do you want to play with the coins?

I wish you could see underwater, too.

[Connor leans in to kiss her briefly, just because he can, before letting go of her in order to dive down for a couple of coins. He's quick thanks to his powerful tail, and he comes back up with three coins and starts juggling them with a smile. His fangs glint in the moonlight, but his expression is playful.]

Like this?

[He would like to take her mind off her fight, but he can't do much like this.]

[Justine returns his kiss and them smiles as he disappears from the surface of the water. Her balance wavers as he dives down but she floats the way that Paris had taught her and is able to keep her head above the water.]

Yes.

I am really glad that you like them. I could try and throw them further.

[Though she'll have to start moving around in the water or risk hypothermia with the air temperatures as low as they are.]

[He's quick to keep close to her, both to keep her floating and to keep her warm. The pool is very deep, but he has an idea. He concentrates, and the water beneath Justine's feet hardens to the point she can stand on it. He can't do anything to change the temperature of it, but it's already warmed by the heated rocks at the bottom. As long as Justine stays submerged, she'll be warm.]

You want to play fetch with me?

[He teases her, but his expression is fond.]

[Her feet touch the suddenly solid surface and she gasps in soft surprise as she looks down at her little perch. It's... perfect.]

Ah. Yes. If you'd like.

My magic isn't very strong but I bet I can make them hard to catch.

I bet I can catch them anyway.

[He swims back a little, giving Justine a playful smile, all sharp teeth.]

I'm faster than I look.

[Justine laughs softly.]

Is that so? Let's put that to the test.

[She closes her eyes and focuses on the coin in her hand. When she dips it into the water the coin looks as if it'd grown a tail and is swimming around like a fish. A rush of dizziness rushes over Justine and she nearly passes out before catching herself. Magic is harder for her on the full moons.]

[Connor is fast, but it's Justine he rushes to, not the coin. He looks concerned, holding her steady.]

Maybe we should do something that doesn't require magic?

[Her palms lightly rest on his shoulders as a light smile curves her lips.]

Maybe. I should have enchanted them ahead of time.
