"Huh?" Long asked without turning around.

"You said it's fine for friends to go topless," he stated, "C'mon, take it off."

"It's not a requirement," Long argued.

"But it's fine so why don't you just take it off," Rosen protested.

Long was quiet for a long moment before replying, "I don't want to."

"Why not?" Rosen asked, "You really should loosen up a bit."

Long didn't reply, and he didn't take his shirt off.

Rosen sighed a little, "Your abs are hot, nothing to be ashamed of if that's the issue," he replied quietly.

Still nothing from Long.

"Hey," Rosen said, slapping Long's rear, "I'm talkin' to yah."

Long started a bit before shaking his head.

Rosen blinked, "What? It's rude," and turned to walk away.

"... Rude?" Long asked, confused.

"To not acknowledge when someone's talking to them," he stated as he grabbed his boxers and put them back on, taking off the towel.

Long turned back to the water and remained silent. Which didn't really help the problem.

"Are you feeling well enough to swim?" Rosen asked after a moment.
