athru: (so here comes the rising tide)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-18 05:48 pm (UTC)(link)
You didn't ask me nicely.
grandstanding: (Uh ... huuuuh.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-19 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
And I'm not going to, after that display.
athru: (and hope to dies)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-19 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
You're not very jolly.

[ But she does stop, settling into the water and closing her eyes, head tilted back. ]

Have you been enjoying the planet, at least?
grandstanding: (How terribly gauche)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-20 09:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He just huffs. His lack of jolliness is well noted.]

Very much so. Just being outside without a mask is wonderful.
athru: (and brick by brick)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-20 09:05 pm (UTC)(link)
They were awful, weren't they? They bit into my skin all the time.

[ She crosses her arms, shaking her head. ]

It wasn't too bad inside, though.
grandstanding: (And ask me your questions.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-22 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He doesn't think it surprising that Raven found the mask chafing. By this stage, she's probably fairly unused to anything being on her skin.]

That's damning it with faint praise.
athru: (the stars have all aligned)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-22 10:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ She's trying, at least, considering a new place and nakedness don't often go hand in hand - but most of the clothes she wears she makes herself, so she might as well be naked for how it can feel at times. ]

I wasn't going to sing songs about it, was I? My date was the only good part of that nonsense.
grandstanding: (Everybody wants to rule the world)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-22 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh, yes. Hank mentioned that. [He lets that hang there, how much Hank told him being up to the imagination. It was essentially nothing.]
athru: (and all of the lights will lead)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-22 10:32 am (UTC)(link)
Hank is such a gossip.

[ She huffs, crossing her arms. ]

He's told everyone.
grandstanding: (Swish.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-22 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Now there's a title he never thought anyone would award Hank. He'll have to use it against the man later. Captain Gossip.]

I'm sure he's just... excited.
athru: (i'm a fighter)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-22 10:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ And First Mate Mystique, of course. ]

I was, too. I suppose I just didn't have anyone to be excited at.
grandstanding: (I read your thesis and it sucked)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-23 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
Other than Hank, I assume.
athru: (get hitched and make a career)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-23 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, yeah, but I think he already knew how excited I was.
grandstanding: (Don't do what you'll regret)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-24 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
I don't quite see the importance of sharing the experience with others, personally. [His own enjoyment of his dates is private. Both he and Charles tend to agree on this; indeed, most people in Kyriakos never realised they were together, outside of their teams.]
athru: (but i can see the stars)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-24 10:43 am (UTC)(link)
I get that. I think it's just... New. And it's fine, I don't really have anyone to share it with except Charles, and he seems to take it well enough. [ At least Raven knows - and she's already told Charles just how okay she is with it now. She might not have been, not at first, but now - now she's content. ]
grandstanding: (Uh ... huuuuh.)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-25 09:21 am (UTC)(link)
You talk to him about it?
athru: (bird to your chest)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-25 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
... I talk to him about everything.
grandstanding: (Wow get the stick out of your ass)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-26 09:45 am (UTC)(link)
I see. [Regardless of his short answer, he understands. He and Charles have discussed so much, both deep and trivial, that he knows the appeal of being able to share with someone like him. He is surprised that Raven has come this far in so short a time; it sparks some consternation in him, but not much.]

Well, don't discuss this with him yet, but - I suggested to Hank that we should get together for his birthday.
athru: (loving can hurt)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-27 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ There's no real secrets when it comes to her and Charles - not really, and there never had been. The fact is that the only thing she had ever worried about telling him was how uncomfortable she'd been at times, and now that they were working on that... Well, she had no reason to lie. That's just how it was.

Tilting her head, though, her lips turn up into a grin. ]


A surprise for his birthday? I like that.
grandstanding: (I'd make wine from your tears)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-28 10:06 am (UTC)(link)
Not quite. I'm going to tell him before we go. Just contain yourself for a couple of days.

It's come at a good time. We might as well make use of the planet. [Charles loved it here, and in a way, Erik's glad this month has turned out so well for his partner. The birthday itself is almost a footnote. A convenient one, though.]
athru: (i can see the stars from america)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-28 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I am capable of keeping a secret.

[ She shakes her head, crossing her arms. ]

I haven't actually seen him here yet. Is he... Enjoying it?
grandstanding: (There's truth in your lies)

[personal profile] grandstanding 2016-07-30 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
He loves it. [It's the simple answer, and the truth.]
athru: (and all of the lights will lead)

[personal profile] athru 2016-07-30 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Why did I even bother asking?

[ She shakes her head, glancing out over at the landscape, before she huffs. ]

It's not that bad. As long as you get to control it.
