“Oh, for sure! I am glad everyone sort of gets a long nowadays. It would be awkward otherwise.”
“Saima, it’s not your fault. I forgot to put this little meeting in my calendar and they just texted me asking where I was. You are not a distraction! And I will see you next week for those lessons, yes?” She called after them wanting to make sure they knew this was her fault.
“True, true. And life already comes with enough awkwardness.“
“Hah, I get how that happens. But see you next week for those lessons. Can’t wait to get started.“ They throw up a hand in a wave as a final goodbye gesture before continuing to stroll – soon enough to disappear back to their homeland.
Matt held them close, pulling Saima even closer to his side before he tugged the both of them off.
Traveling in this manner was second nature to him, an easier, intrinsic magic, movement of particles and being through that which he was most connected with – the ground. It was quick and dark and suffocatingly heavy, until it was not, and their feet hit solid ground once more.
Upon arriving Matt turned his attention first to his lover, making sure they had traveled well beside him, not in need of a rest or some respite before exploring further into the ancient and deep woods they’d settled in.
Before Saima knew it, they were off alongside Matt – moving through the world in such a quick matter. It felt like hardly much had happened at all outside of being pulled so close to Matt, which had been a nice touch. Even if it was more of a safety and staying close thing.
Even the little moments, Saima couldn’t resist finding some pleasure and contentment in. Upon arrival, they stomped their feet a little to reassure themselves that they were back on solid ground.
A surprise kiss on the cheek. “Well, hello there. Nice to see a familiar face, again, no?”It had been quite some time since Saima had last seen Elliot. So it had been a pleasant occasion to see him again. “Tell me, what have you been up to – I’m sure life has a way of keeping you plenty busy.”
He promises he’s all waxed down too. I mean, for like, the next day or so. After then it’s all downhill from there, unless S likes 60s porn style Italian bush.
“And here I was thinking you were a twink this entire time.” Get it? Bear? Twink? “I’ll try not to assume every bear is you, but it might be hard to get rid of the association now. What kind of bear, though? Tall and skinny or short and furry?”
Well, that’s none of S’s business as they aren’t too picky about that sort of thing.
“Haha, not the worst assumption to make.“ They shrug and give a bit of a sheepish chuckle at that. “It’s alright, can’t blame you for thinking of that. I tend to take tall and lean forms – so I as a bear would be similar, a brown bear. “ It’d be the unusual eye color of the bear that would likely give Saima away to anyone who was actually trying to mark them out.
“Oh, come on. Live a little. Laugh a little. I’m kidding!” About the sending nudes part, anyways. There are quite a few people sending him nudes right now, but his ringer is off, so unless S can sense it in their heart that Vin is out here getting dick pics by the dozen…
“I wouldn’t disrespect your humble forest life like that. It’s too clean out here. Untouched by… nastiness. That isn’t like, murder.”
Insert a strange tinge of nervous laughter. It does get more genuine but at first it is quite unsettling.
“Of course you are. Of course, you are.“ It’s really not even the receiving that took them out – but sending, oof, that’d be something else altogether.
“Absolutely wonderful. Caring for those left out by others is just absolutely delightful to do. Hah, I can imagine those followers definitely enjoy the chances to have a great time in your honor.” A small wistful sigh. “A bit of a shame that there’s nothing really to compare to those memories.”
“I have the internet now. I don’t need to leave.” Vin is going to tuck himself inside of his expensive hoodie now, arms and chin pulled inside for warmth. But nevertheless, he feels a chill run down his spine. “S— darling— you have WiFi, right?”
“Fair.“ If nothing else, access to the internet did make existence all the easier to bare. “I do actually have WiFi, of course, I do. It’s pretty high quality too so.. not a bad place to hole up for some time.“ Something had to come out of having Internet access even out in the forests.
