Could I but ride indefinite, As doth the meadow-bee
And visit only where I liked, And no man visit me
And visit only where I liked, And no man visit me
His protestation is a muffled sound with her ear to his clothes as she tackles him down, but it supplies her with a vindictive glee as they go toppling down into the water as a lumpy, uncoordinated unit. The water is shallow enough to be warm from the oppressive desert sun overhead, making it a far more pleasant landing than the Valkyrie had anticipated - Talyson's bony knees aside.
Shamelessly planting her hands on his body to push herself up to sit on her shins, hair half-wet and sticking to her cheeks and temple, Hotaru laughs brightly. It feels so good to do it, and Tal's feigned pout only makes the ballooning feeling of sunlight in her ribs shine stronger. Holstering her dagger on instinct alone, the Valkyrie grins down at her best friend and pokes him in the chest from where she sits over him. "Then you'd have to immediately deal with my antics in the afterlife with no reprieve." The mischievous light in her eyes assures that he will likely never get that reprieve anyway, but if one of them dies first they'll have to take advantage of their short vacation from the other. "Either way, I'm considering that a win for me. And you owe me a haircut." Though given she never cut it after Enzo died, she has far too much to spare and desperately needs to cut it anyway given it is to her hips now.

And dwell a little everywhere - or better, run away
