axiomed: (Remind me of how I used to feel)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
If I fall, I'm blaming you.

[ That's essentially a yes. ]
grandstanding: (Since someone looked at me that way.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[It certainly is, and part of him is pleased that Charles finally agreed.] I won't let you fall. Do you want to go in the chair, or just by yourself?
axiomed: (Acquainted as we are)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ He purses his lips, thoughtful. The chair looks safer, but he trusts Erik. ]

We can leave it here.
grandstanding: (25)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
All right. Get your arms around my neck. [He steps forward and leans down, sliding his own arms under Charles's legs. He's getting a princess carry.]
axiomed: (I couldn't give you all)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ Charles hates this carry, but there's little point in arguing when he said to leave the chair behind. Deftly, he wraps his arms around Erik's neck with a nod. ]
grandstanding: (Wow get the stick out of your ass)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Once Charles is ready, Erik lifts away from the ground, floating slowly upwards. He knows it's an awkward position for Charles, but it's easier for holding on. One of the positives is that no one else is up on this side of the mountain at this time of day.

He turns his head to look at Charles, distracting him from the trip upwards.]


I'll go up a couple dozen feet.
axiomed: (Get confused and you fade away)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 05:30 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know how you do this regularly.

[ His arms tighten a little. ]
grandstanding: (I read your thesis and it sucked)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't say it's regular. I've only done it twice since landing here. [Despite the heights of the trees and the size of the mountain they are ascending above, Erik prefers to stay on the ground. He learned how to fly when he was thirty-one. Too late in life to really integrate it into his everyday habits, but early enough to utilise it when he found it of use.]
axiomed: (The days and nights)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 05:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ He glances below. ]

My, that's . . . quite high up.
grandstanding: (Always in control)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Erik slows in the air, and they come to a halt. From here, the cone of the volcano more visible, though not directly below them. That's too high for Erik to go while carrying someone else. But the shape of it and the rest of the mountain is easier to see in full, along with the ocean of trees that extends out around them in every direction, except the one that leads to the sea.]

Yes... I think that's high enough.
axiomed: (They still cling to the wall)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Charles' breath catches. ]

Amazing . . .
grandstanding: (I'd make wine from your tears)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[It isn't hard, with the skin-to-skin contact Charles's grip necessitates, to feel his awe. It sparks some answering pleasure in Erik, to have been able to share the view with him despite his reservations. A brief smile tugs at his lips.]
axiomed: (They could talk all night)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 06:22 am (UTC)(link)
I could get used to this . . . possibly.

[ He glances at Erik, smiling. ]
grandstanding: (Never tear us apart)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
[A memory flickers past, of a time when Erik suggested he lift Charles's chair to get them back to Epona's dorm faster. That had ended rather quickly, with Charles panicking and wanting to get back to the ground. It's accompanied with a flare of warmth and amusement.]

Possibly.

[Erik redirects his attention, lowering the magnetic repulsion and letting them float slowly back down to earth.]
axiomed: (My head and my heart)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 07:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ He presses a kiss to Erik's chin. ]

Thank you. That was wonderful.
grandstanding: (25)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't even what I brought you up here for. [He sets Charles back into his chair as they touch down. Once he's done, he gestures to the steaming spring.] It was this.
axiomed: (The days and nights)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ He inhales sharply. ]

I didn't even know we had those here.
grandstanding: (Your mind is under attack now.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
You can write it in your notes later.
axiomed: (For something lasting)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ He swats his hand lightly. ]

It looks divine.
grandstanding: (:>)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 09:07 am (UTC)(link)
[He smirks, and shrugs off his jacket. There's little point in denying that he agreed to indulge Charles's investigation of the landscape partly so he could come back to the springs. It's time to follow through.]
axiomed: (Otter Icon 9)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 09:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Charles sheds his clothes neatly, draping them neatly onto the arm rest.

Then he changes to his other form to trot towards the springs. ]
grandstanding: <user name="malagraphic"> (On the line)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Erik removes his own clothing, stepping out of his pants and heading into the water. He lets out a sigh as he sinks in. As always, the heat felt good after the hard slog of walking up the mountainside to get here.]
axiomed: (No strings attached between you and me)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ The otter drifts towards the edge before it switches out. ]

Relaxing, isn't it?
grandstanding: (Well aren't you special.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 09:36 am (UTC)(link)
You don't have to tell me. I've already been here once before. [He opens one eye to peer at Charles.] And not full of tourists, for once.
axiomed: (By the end of the day)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
Don't show off, it's unseemly.

[ He lets out a quiet sigh. It feels great to his back too. ]
