Isla San Pedro, Chile, Wednesday Afternoon

Summer's voicemail about the painting had come in yesterday. It was the first message from Fandom since they'd taken off before the holidays. And it felt a little like they were being called back. Like it was time to re-join real life again.

But not yet. Not just yet.

For now, Octavia had a picked a stretch of beach - not a particular one, just a nice one - to wade out into the water from. She was feeling the sun on her skin, some very gentle waves against her legs.

And just breathed.

Duke grinned. "I like to be au naturale," he said. "Don't see either of you complaining."

Especially since he was very careful about how long any of his various parts were exposed to sun without protection.

“Like an otter,” Duke said. He took her hand, holding it up. “I like that.”
betterthanaplan: (a nice smile)

"And I'm going to hold your hand while we float so we don't drift apart," Duke said, squeezing hers in return. ". . . And maybe bring you a pretty rock sometime. Is than an otter thing?"

"Yeah?" Duke gave her a smile, smaller but softer, less lazily manic than the last few had been. "I'll keep an eye out, then."
betterthanaplan: (things are looking up)

“Oooo. With the butterfly statue and everything?”
betterthanaplan: (thoughtfully amused)

“That’s because you’re curating carefully. The Samsara’s the most exclusive spot around.”
betterthanaplan: (romancing)

“That’s your whole philosophy in a nutshell.” Duke dropped his feet so he could tug her into his chest. “You imbue everything with so much meaning.”
betterthanaplan: (thoughtfully amused)

“Yeah, yeah,” Duke said, giving a little snort. “That’s the other part of you. You like to be very precise.”
betterthanaplan: (thoughtfully amused)

"That is very, very true," Duke said. "And I like that you like it. Means if I'm not sure where you stand on something, it's probably me not listening well enough."
betterthanaplan: (thoughtfully amused)

"Or you're being confusing about it," Duke said. "Because you're human and we all get a little weird sometimes."
betterthanaplan: (pleased)

[personal profile] betterthanaplan 2023-01-09 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Duke followed her glance and laughed. "True. Humanesque? Sapient? What's the correct term I'm looking for, oh Knower of Words?"
betterthanaplan: (*shrug*)

". . . Okay, yes, but now I feel like a jerk."
