Lynn, off on her own.

As she walked across the beach, Lynn never took her eyes off of her rival and the object of her affection. God, she couldn't STAND Saki. She had been at the beach for what, an hour at most, and she was already moving in on Lynn's man?

Well-- not REALLY Lynn's man. The extent of her communication with HammeredTime was pretty limited, and most of it involved staring at his beautiful body as he streamed. But Saki had never even expressed interest in him! How dare she pull something like this!

The two of them were over at a volleyball net, and Saki was getting way too close to the Reinhardt cosplayer for Lynn's comfort. She was twirling her fake red hair and pushing out her hips suggestively, touching his gorgeous arms when she laughed like the fake bitch she was.

"D.Va online!" Lynn shouted as she jumped in front of them, arms out and showing off her body-tight swimsuit. "Will you be my shield?"

It certainly seemed to get HammeredTime's attention. For a perfect moment, Lynn got to see him turn his attention away from Saki-chan and toward her as he looked her up and down. She chafed a little under his gaze, but it was worth it. Better than him looking at Saki, that was for certain. "Vell, vat do ve have here?" he said at the top of his voice. His German accent wasn't great, but he made up for it with his enthusiasm. Well, that and his glistening tan muscles.

Saki, clearly glaring, tried to step between the fake German and Lynn. Clearly she wasn't happy about losing his attention. "This is Bunny Hapa," she said, unable to fully exclude Lynn from the conversation.

"I know!" not-Reinhardt said. "Ve've spoken several times!" Lynn's heart-- and something else-- stirred when she heard that. She never would have guessed that he'd actually remember her.

"Yeah!!" Lynn exclaimed, pushing Saki-chan a bit off to the side. She tried to push out her comparatively modest chest at him. "I don't think I ever got your name, though, and it's a bit hard to just call you HammeredTime..."

The Reinhardt cosplayer beamed, offering Lynn his hand. "Kurt!" he said. "And let me say, I am delighted to make your acquaintance!" When Lynn went to shake his giant hand, she found him lifting hers up to his mouth to kiss the back of her own.

Lynn went bright red at that, nearly jumping around in place in the hot sand. Right next to her, Saki looked absolutely livid, and just as red, though for different reasons.

"Why don't we do something!" Saki blurts out loud. "It's no fun just standing around!"

Lynn was amazed at her rival's obvious discomfort. Had she struck a nerve here? She had never seen the other cosplayer woman get so worked up like this. Well, this was something she could use to her advantage.

"Very vell," Richard-as-Reinhardt said. "Vhat should ve be doing?"
