[ 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. ]
grandstanding: (Floating Head Villain.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 09:46 am (UTC)(link)
You'd know it if I was showing off. I prefer to know my surroundings. [The spring had been a bonus.]
axiomed: (I hope you feel the way I do)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 09:57 am (UTC)(link)
Did anything else catch your eye?
grandstanding: (I read your thesis and it sucked)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mm, yes. The beach. [He had gone down there a few days ago, to scope out the fishing situation. And also...] I thought we should all head down there for your birthday, in fact.
axiomed: (Feeling sorry is your favourite feeling)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ He stares because he hadn't really been keeping track of the dates. Time has never been a concern. ]

Oh . . . sure. I had forgotten about that.
grandstanding: (More bang for your buck.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Erik, on the other hand, tracks everything. Down to the letter. He just shakes his head lightly, not surprised Charles hasn't paid attention to the dates. It isn't worth saying that he would have been unlikely to have cared about his birthday in years past. They both know about that time.]

Don't sound so excited

axiomed: (This town has got the youth of me)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 10:09 am (UTC)(link)
[ He shoots Erik an apologetic grin. ]

Sorry. It never occurred to me. But I suppose considering the calendar, birthdays could very well be a thing.
grandstanding: (Your mind is under attack now.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-10 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Erik has often wondered whether he ought to add another year to his own age, after their eight months in other worlds. Time hadn't passed at home. But had it passed on their own bodies? Ultimately it didn't make a substantial difference.]

Could be, and will be for you at least.
axiomed: (You mean nothing to me anymore)

[personal profile] axiomed 2016-07-10 10:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ He nods slowly, still a little disbelieving. ]

Of . . . course it can be. Uhm, thank you.
