Silent and passively Nelliel would watch the two men debate their worldview like an outsider, not wanting to contribute in the worry that it might add too much fuel to the fire and her opinion and thoughts broke into their dance of life philosophies. Even as Alex steamed with his energy radiating enough to heat the water around him and bubble it things were beginning to get a little too heated for her, both literally and figuratively. A more assertive approach was necessary for a sore situation like this much to her desire to stay out of it.
"Alex, you should relax."
Bringing her hand up to the man's forehead and trying to give some form of tenderness to try and diffuse him a little. After all she didn't want him to do something that would get him hurt, there was barely any doubt in her mind that this would end up bad for him.
"People should be able to live their lives as they please, some don't desire the greatness or recognition of others. Nameless souls that go unremembered in name doesn't make them nobodies and just having your name remembered doesn't make you a great person. The attitude of Vastime is their own worldview, a noble one for sure but I don't really care about being recognised, I don't need a legacy. Alex is one of the few people I've met to recognise me for what I did.... and I don't care much for it."
If Hayden was beginning to feel like she was taking Alex's side that was not the full truth. In fact this was Nelliel's own view whether or not Hayden and Alex appreciated it and even so she took one of Hayden's hands as the other one slid down to Alex's shoulder.
"To be remembered for my actions and reputation as an Espada or strong fighter doesn't make me feel much more worth as a person. I don't really care for it, I fought because I thought it was the right thing to do or something I had to do. Not for the reputation that I got as a result. I feel life's value is relative to what we attribute to it. As long as you feel content at the end of your life, what does it matter if you left nothing behind or won't be remembered for it but if you want to leave something that you value behind what makes that any different to your worldviews?"
Saying her part she waited to see how the game had changed, trying to pacify the situation a little bit and find some common ground in their arguments with her own thoughts that she felt stood in-between them but leaned towards Alex which she wondered if it had anything to do with his wanderer status.
"I want to be remembered by the people that matter to me for the person I was, not the things I did in my life."

KING OF VASTIME
As the situation seemed to get heated, the other guy seemed to literally get hot. For the briefest of moments Hayden had the desire to see what the guy could do, after all there was nothing quite like a good fight. But he figured that wouldn't actually go down well, so as he prepared to say something Nel seemed to interject catch him off guard. But he would listen, and he would listen deeply for the moment quieting his thoughts. Even as it seemed to veer to Alex side for a moment, before she did something which caught the king unaware once more.
The feeling of her hand slipping onto his callous one was admittedly nice, there was a calming effect to it. Physical affection was not the man's best attribute nor was it was something he was used to, but as she did it he visibly relaxed for the moment. Her words carrying far more weight to the king then Alex if only because of the way she said it. It was a fair view one he didn't know his entire feelings on, but something he could take into account as evident from the thoughtful look on his face.
"I can.. understand that I suppose."
There was an earnest attempt in his voice, from both of their views. But it was clear that in some way he couldn't fathom it, not quite dismissing it but more so that he had grown with his own to be his life. So to hear these views, to try to truly understand them he'd take a breath shaking his head, cooling down himself. Perhaps he had been a bit reckless in nature, or provoked himself into speaking so crudely. He'd take a moment of silence before speaking, looking to Alex.
"I cannot.. understand that, well. It is a foreign concept to me, and I do not wish to devalue your own beliefs on the subject. I apologize for having done so, or coming across that way." The words seemed picked carefully, with a few pauses as he tried to grasp the right words. This was not something he did for the favor of Nel or Alex, but because he wished to move on from the matter. There was nothing to be proud of when he let his own ignorance take a hold, so for this moment he would allow them to take that as they will.
"Alex, do you know of something fun to do? I don't want to ruin a good day with needlessly serious discussions." The man would let some type of jest come into his voice at the end, as if trying to dismiss the accusatory nature of both their arguments earlier. An ernast attempt to move forward.

Alex
Artist: - Song: - Word Count: N/A
Alex knew Nel was right, but it wasn't until her hand touched his forehead that he took a step back inwardly and cooled down. Figuratively, at any rate. He was in fact already heated up to a great extreme, and that actually kinda hurt. He'd have just vented all the heat, but...well, Nel was touching him, so he didn't want to just let it all out in one go. Maybe he'd hurt her. Probably not, but you never know. So he tried real hard, focused on all that heat he'd built up, and figured, hey, let's just send it all out one spot.
So he did that. Oh, it was actually pretty painful. Don't get that misunderstood. Alex felt like his left hand was just about to fall off, and he was fairly sure he felt a few bones in his hand crack. Yeah that sucked. Still, he coulda done worse, and hey, that could be a nifty trick some time, who knew?
“Sorry, Nel. Didn't mean to upset you like that.”
In truth, he did feel bad when she said that she hadn't liked being recognized. Alex was pretty surprised by that. He didn't really feel bad about hurting people's feelings, generally speaking. Feelings could go suck a dick, after all. But for some reason that didn't do well in his head, hearing Nel unhappy with all that. Fuckin weird. Maybe he'd go think about it some time.
Huh? Oh, a question from Hayden. Something to do? Well they were at the beach, weren't they? That seemed like a stupid question, and he actually almost said that. But he figured Nel probably wouldn't like that, so maybe he'd not do that. Ugh, what a weird feeling. Didn't like that one bit. Ah well.
“Well we're at the beach, yeah? Sounds to me like it's prime time for us to get oiled up and have a beach volleyball montage. I'm sure the ladies of Vastime would like to see that from the king, yeah?”
He was serious. He was definitely, undoubtedly, 100% serious.

The arrancar was surprised to see that she had so easily diffused the situation, she had expected for them to maybe keep pushing it or try to clash in other ways but her own opinion thrown into the pot seemed to humble them both which had her looking visibly relieved that she wouldn't have to stand in-between what could've been an actual fight over her, even if she was in their sights if they clashed with each other over her then that'd just be childish.
"That's alright, also don't do that to your hand. You'll hurt it."
Considering fixing it and offering him some help she decided against it, hurting his hand like that was a lesson for him to learn and just because she had tried to help him out from that "nasty" hit he took before. Even though she left it now she was keeping it noted for later to take care of his hand. Regardless the topic quickly changed from serious discussions about worldviews to talk of volleyball and oiling up.
"Hmm, are we all getting oiled up? How is that any fun? Volleyball sounds fun but I can't play or else it'd be one-sided and that's not really good sportsmanship."
Even though it would be interesting to see them compete in a game of volleyball, oiled up too no less, Nelliel wanted to do some slight teasing. It wasn't as though she didn't understand anything of what she said and specifically did it to see what kind of reaction she would get to this while her hands left the boys and went to idly fix her hair that hadn't really moved from it's previous position.

"Much as I think that is a fun idea, think the teams would be lop sided no matter what. But I know some people who'd be interested in it, turn it into a little team three v. three in the near future."
The male suggested showcasing that he wasn't quite for the idea of a lop sided match regardless of who it was, it wasn't fun in the competitive sense for him. But it did cause him to take a moment to cast eyes his eyes on the beach to perhaps find something for the three before the pause became awkward. It didn't take Desmond long to find what he was looking for, the corner of his lips tugging upwards. It seemed he had found something which sparked his fancy as he lifted up a bronze hand pointing towards a location at the beach to draw their attention.
It wouldn't take long for them either to see the group of people somewhat gathered on the beach around some relatively constructed sandpit, lined with odd looking rocks embedded into the ground. Within the center of the circle was two men currently in shorts grappling against each other in an impressive display, struggling to gain dominance over the other. One appeared to be quicker as he shot down gripping the man's ankles throwing him into a lock, another struggle ensuring.
- Display:
It was a brief discription so it was given some context to the two, the sly smile on his lips becoming something of a grin as he placed his hands on his hips staring at the contest. It was a fine display so far, filled with surprisingly agility from the two men who seemed to be besting one another as a third man wearing a bandana seemed to be refereeing haphazrdly. But it all seemed in good fun even getting some cheers from the crowd. Hayden would turn to look behind him at Alex.
"Oil wrestling ain't too common anymore save for the Turks. But people do it here if you wanna throw down for the amusement of our friend here. Don't worry about any differences in power, the Arenarias counteracts that. Makes it more of even."
That grin on his lips seemed to only grow for Hayden, it was excitement. Not at the prospect of defeating Alex or even losing himself but this was after all one of the things he enjoyed. A good competition or display of athleticism took him back to simple days, and surely between these two masculine dudes one would get a good showing. He'd lift his arm up flexing slightly as if to prompt Alex further, good intentioned teasing to say the least but a challenge none the less.
"Gotta admit, the prospect excites me being Greek and all. It's the sport of my homeland!"

“Aw, c'mon Nel. You're not down to get all oiled up? Could be a good look for you.”
Alex's brazenness had certainly returned, considering the lightening of the mood. But that was a good thing, he didn't really wanna get too serious here. Sure, making friends was cool and all, but he had moves to be puttin' on. Nel seemed like a good girl, not the sort to just get with once and call it a day. That was a nice little change of pace.
“Pugna? That's a terrible name, you oughta come up with something a little snappier. But aight, I'll see your game. Let's get to it, I'm betting $50 I got this no problem.”
Naturally, he tossed the money just on the ground, as if it were a betting table. Money was no object to him, and truth be told, the poor street child in him kind of hoped it flew off. It'd make someone's day, odds were. Nevertheless, Alex made his way toward the arenaria, assuming Hayden would follow after him. He glanced back only once, and shot Nel quite the wink.
“Wanna grab dinner after this, by the way?”

"A contest of teams sounds fun, that would be nice to see organised for the future."
Voicing her agreement to the idea of an organised game of volleyball did bring a smile to her face, she loved games but she doubted the two of them would like the Eternal Tag she would play with her Fraccion. This place after all was not infinite in space and expansion so it wasn't ideal unless they ran around in circles. Then that could work she had to guess.
"Hmm? Well uh... I suppose if you both wanted me to get oiled up and participate I could. I don't know if I'd really be suitable for it though, you mentioned it bridged the gap of power and I'm not really much of a fighter nowadays. I'd probably be beaten easily or even worse hurt someone by accident in a match."
Her demeanour cracked a little, only for a brief moment did she appear shy from the thought of just one of them let alone both of them seeing her all oiled up. Given they were both just flexing on each other about trying to get her - not that it had really ended either. After that small blush though and averted gaze she recovered back to her previous relaxed attitude.
"You two should definitely do it though regardless, I'm happy to just watch."
The next proposal took her by surprise, and left her like a deer in headlights for a moment. It was just dinner but the intent was pretty clear to her. It wasn't made any less awkward that Hayden was there too and so she wanted to try and act accordingly since she didn't know how both might react if she declined or accepted, probably pretty casually - maybe she was just overthinking it.
"Well that sounds nice, I don't think Abalia would have an issue with it. You'd maybe just not have that much but I can share some of mine. I don't know what she's cooking though for tonight so it'd be a surprise."

Hayden didn't really have any real comment to make towards, he was far too excited at the prospect of doing something today that he was actually good. Rather, something that had been awhile coming. Even as they made their way to the ring and did all the preparations, stepping into the ring he paid no mind what Alex has asked her. Such was the way of life. But as they went at it for an indescript time he didn't go all out, seeing the male measure up and etc. But it was partially through one of the rounds that the day was indeed cut short.
A man wearing a uniform, heterochromatic eyes seemingly focused on the king as he approach stopping a decent ways away. It was clear as Hayden caught a glimpse he'd stop wrestling, holding up a hand to signal a time out of sorts. He'd walk over to the man as he spoke into Hayden's ear causing a grimace from Hayden before a sigh follow'd. The man bearing the uniform and name tag of 'd'al Decter' seemed to step back waitingly.
Hayden would place his hands on his lips, a slightly annoyed look on his face. "I must apologize. Something urgent has come up and I must attend to it." He'd hold out a hand to the crowd, knowing that some may be dismay'd at his depature. He'd settle his gaze on Alex and Nel. "Enjoy your time, but I must leave for now. Some other time, yes?"
And with that'd he'd gather his belonging as him and the uniform'd male walked away.
