So that's what happened! I'm relieved, I thought the floor came up.

Nope. Not this time. [Nuzzle.] Why'd you fall?

I'm only awake from the knees up.

[ tapping his shins in an attempt to accelerate the process. ]

Oooh, tingly? Move your legs around.

Trying to -

[ slowly trying to move his ankles and ignore the annoying feeling it shoots up his legs. ]

-- so what were we doing before the falling?

We were practicing to be in a space circus. Or I was trying to help you get somewhere comfortable to sleep.

I don't wanna be a clown, they're freaky.

[ she gets another kiss, this time to her lips. ]

Thank you.

You can be the elephant. [Kissing back.]

Are you thanking me on my super successful attempt to get you somewhere comfortable to sleep?

Rude.

[ he's in the best shape of his life over here! ]

Mmmhhhhm, yeah, super comfy - [ sprawling himself on her ]

I like elephants. And you can't be the tiger. I'm the tiger. [This floor is not that comfy, sir. But he's cute and she can't bring herself to argue for getting up.]

The elephant and the tiger. Sounds like a fable.

[ it's what he was counting on! ]

Never expected them to fall in love. They are really good on the trapeze though.

Trapeze is metaphor for computer, right?

[ cuz he'll definitely severely injure himself at the very least if he tries the actual trapeze. ]

You don't want to fly through the air with the greatest of ease?

If I ever feel the need to that - 1. question everything. 2. I'll just ask Kara for a ride.

How dare you, sir? If you ever want to try heights I get to air walk you first. [They haven't had a mid-air kiss yet.]

Hey, you said fly -

[ even if he got over his fear of heights, he may keep it to himself just cuz he's got a feeling he'll be getting that argument from both of them. well, not the mid-air kiss thing, but the dibs on taking him up. ]

True.

[How does mid-air kissing not tip the balance in her favor? Is it because she didn't actually say it? It was implied!]

[ that, and he's very protective of kara's feelings. he's been trying his hardest to make sure she doesn't feel replaced or sidelined because he knows how sucky a feeling that is. ]

I promise if I ever want to air walk, you'll be my first call.

Good. [Kissing him softly but slowly.] How are your legs holding up?

[ kissing back. ]

Great, I can feel my twisted ankle now.

[ he smiles though, so it's clearly not bothering him too much. ]

What? Wiiiiinn. [She sits up so she can scoot down and investigate.] Which ankle?

Saying that it's fine is not gonna get me anywhere, is it?

Only to a doctor. [She gently shifts his pant leg up and feels over the ankle. Not her first time. Mild first aid is a thing with the X-Men. Not like they had doctors or healers.]

Had to ask.

[ pulling himself up to a sitting position. ]

I think it'll just pass, doesn't hurt bad. I've had worse gaming injuries.
