[Taako pulls Kravitz by the wrist through the water, tail twisting impatiently as he halfheartedly drags the other man forward. Sure, where they're going isn't perfectly safe, when pretty much their colony's only instructions are "don't mess with human shit", but Taako knows he can talk Kravitz into anything. Lup's providing cover for them back with the pod, so they have the time to slip away for a few hours. Just a quick trip and back. Taako takes a hand off of Kravitz to adjust the strap on his shoulder bag, stop it from digging into his neck from the angle he's swimming at. His long hair is braided back today to stay out of his face, devoid of the typical adornments he has around his neck, wrists, and tail. Still, the pale blue of his scales glimmer in the sunlight as it filters through the water, glittering from patches of dark skin back to the near-white of his hair. Today's for adventures. Today's for finding new, interesting things.
If that's in the shipwreck, or with each other, well, that's a different story.]
The quicker we get there the quicker we can get back. Kapeesh?
[At first, Kravitz tried with everything he had to discourage this plan and act like he wasn't super fucking enthusiastic about it. It breaks the one and only Big Rule, and although he cares more about not having to deal with the fall out of being caught, more than he cares about actually breaking it, that still makes messing with human shit something he's not on board with for his own reasons.
But Taako is nothing if not good at convincing him, and Kravitz has long since given up trying. He clasps Taako's hand and grins at him knowingly, allowing himself to be dragged more for the goof at this stage.]
Are you really sure this is what you want to do with a few precious, uninterrupted hours? Scour some filthy human ship? I don't know. Convince me again.
Oh you massive idiot. I know you can swim, come onnnnn. I’m certainly not gonna spend this whole time fuckin’ dragging you there.
[He tugs a little harder, still grinning. Doofus. His doofus, which makes his heart thrum weirdly and sends shivers all the way to the tips of him, that he hopes Kravitz can’t feel.]
Y’know, if we finish early, we’re gonna have time left over if you’re really sooooo intent on that sort of thing.
[In a moment, he stops swimming forward, but keeps the momentum of his pull, thrusting Kravitz into his chest and sending them both just a bit backwards as they press together and Taako curls his tail around Kravitz’.]
But you’re gonna have to be faster than that if you want it, huh?
[And just a second later, all of the closeness is gone, and Taako swims around him in a tight circle as he laughs. Kravitz is too easy to mess with. He adores it.]

[He laughs too, entirely giving away his act, but not making it any easier for Taako to pull him along. Teasing Taako leads to him teasing back, and that leads to wonderful (often frustrating) places.
Case in point. Taako flings them together via momentum, and for just a second he can feel soft hair drifting over his shoulders and scales pressed roughly against his own, intimate and promising, capped with words no less so- and then it's all gone again in a rush, predictable and nonetheless effective.
Kravitz groans as Taako laughs, long suffering and adoring in one. That's sort of the way this works.
He does pick up his pace, batting at Taako with his tail and he moves past him.]
Alright, alright, I'm thoroughly convinced. Lead the way.
[He's still laughing, showing off sharp teeth as Kravitz smacks him around with his tail as he hurries to keep pace.]
Oh, I got you babe. C'mon, we're almost there.
[True to form, it's only another minute or so before they swim over the edge of a crater and the wreck comes into view. It's an older ship, splintered wood leaving holes in the hull and tattered sail billowing in the current. Taako looks delighted, grabbing Kravitz by the hand as they approach.]
Look at this. All ours for the looting. Who knows what kinda cool shit they couldn't save.
[It's positively huge, and Taako looks up and down, investigating for a way in.]
[He feels like 'almost there' could mean anything coming from Taako, so Kravitz is relieved when it really is only a few minutes before they arrive. He can't like, either- the wreck is a compelling and somewhat eerily beautiful sight. Where treasure, uh, 'fascinates' Taako, the history of another world fascinates Kravitz. He's a nerd.]
Hm. I must admit, I'm beginning to see the merit of this expedition. [A toothy grin as he drifts closer to his excited boyfriend.] Besides the company, of course.
[It's cheesy, but Kravitz is cheesy. He loops an arm around Taako's waist and tugs him in, humming as he decides.]
Top to bottom. I believe there's a higher chance of saving the best for last, that way.
[He blows a raspberry towards Kravitz as his hand finds purchase, his gills fluttering as his tail flips impatiently.]
Gods, don't be such a fuckin' sap. Come on, don't you want to see me glittering with fancy human jewels? Let's go!
[He wiggles until he's moving, streaking through the water and up until he's above the deck, looking for places the infrastructure has crumbled or the doors can be opened and slipped inside. By the looks of it, it wasn't just a party vessel, but Taako's already trying to get into the highest deck which seemed to hold some sort of boardroom.]
