[armoredsoul]

[Al coughs and sputters, finally reaching the side of the pool and clinging onto it while gasping for breath. Behind him the Golurk is slowly moving over to help him get out, though since they landed in the deep end only it's head is visible.]

[Al catches sight of Envy and glares at him]

Are you just gonna stand and watch or help me out here?!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy snorts, rolls his eyes, and heads over to the edge of the pool, reaching down to grab onto Al's arm with both hands and haul.]

Fine, princess, didn't realize that you were so out of shape you'd need help climbing out of a pool.

[armoredsoul]

I'm in sopping wet wool, you ever tried swimming like this?!

[Al grunts and scrambles, but with the boost he's able to crawl out and start stripping off the extra layers.]

[exeggutorhead]

No, because I'm not an idiot who manages to aim his landing for the only spot of water.

[He'll help him out of the pool but he's not picking up cold wet clothes in the snow, so he stands back with his arms crossed.]

And you made Heather worry, you know.

[armoredsoul]

You try steering a giant ghost rocket and tell me how well it works for you!

[Wow, rude, Al isn't a slob like SOME of his brothers! He folds the coat and jacket over his arm before some of what he said catches up to him and his head snaps back around to Envy.]

Wh--Heather? Why?

[AL YOU WERE JUST AWOL IN THE FOREST FOR A WHOLE WEEK. SOME PEOPLE NOTICE THIS.]

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy gives Al his very best 'are you fucking serious rn' look.]

Probably because nobody knew where the fuck you were and you weren't picking up.

[armoredsoul]

[That...okay, that's fair.]

Well, I wasn't really wanting to talk to anyone anyway.

[Doesn't mean he won't be defensive about it.]

[exeggutorhead]

So you were just sulking.

[armoredsoul]

Shut up! Like you haven't done the same!

[Maybe it's a bit of a low blow, but Al's upset and it's Envy.]

[exeggutorhead]

[OUCH, AL. There's no flinching, but Envy's eyes do narrow, and he snaps. Clearly, that nerve was struck.]

Oh yeah, and who did you lose then?

[armoredsoul]

[Al flinches, and there's a hint of tears in his eyes before he storms right past Envy towards the house, clutching that bright red coat close to his chest.]

Just shut up! What do you even care?!

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy stands there, fists clenched at his sides and teeth gritted, and there's an odd hesitation before he shouts after Al.]

Well, I don't!

[...except he can't just walk into the house now. HE'S GOING ON A WALK DOWN THE STREET. HUFF.]
