"So, you learned to swim, not bad," Shiro called out, a playful tone in his voice.
He watched as Kuro and Goro climbed onto the ship, panting and dripping wet.
"Yeah, yeah, we did," Goro said, catching his breath. "While you were busy playing hero."
"Swimming lessons instead of fighting," Kuro added with a grin. "We left the hard part to you."
Shiro chuckled, shaking his head. "You missed all the fun."
"Fun?" Goro raised an eyebrow. "We had our own adventure. Water's not as easy as it looks, you know."
Kuro nodded in agreement, still trying to catch his breath. "Yeah, next time, you take a swim and we'll handle the swords."
Shiro's laughter echoed on the deck, a light-hearted sound amidst the aftermath of battle.
"I'll consider the trade," he replied with a smirk. "But only if you promise to keep the ship intact."
