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.

[She gently moves it watching his reactions in case he shows pain above what he's expressing to her.] Okay, seems like it is just twisted. [Eyebrow up] How do you get gaming injuries?

I promise, I don't like pain. If it hurt, I'd tell you to get someone.

[ he loves that she worries, and at the same times it can be a little much sometimes. ]

Eh, a lot of repetitive motions with fingers and not moving everything else for most games. And then you got your dance mats and wii games that include the occasional too much moving the everything else in the wrong way.
