So when they say 'quiet' they really just mean 'as terribly dangerous as usual'

Who: Steve and Dejah
What: Continuing from here, Steve and Dejah escape the beasties in a treehouse
When: Mid-afternoon
Where: City of Adventure,
Notes & Warnings: Mentions of blood and poisoning.

Now that the beasties are done with, Steve's going to climb his way up to the treehouse and collapse on the floor. Collapse because that was much harder than he'd expected it would be and while he knows he has some work to do, that he needs to check up on Dejah--

Dammit, he needs to get up and check on Dejah.

It hurts, and he's sore, but he pushes himself up and goes to take a look at her, check her wounds, see if any of them have turned an unsavory color. It's hard to tell, given her red skin and her blue blood, but so far, hopefully, so good.

"Sorry about the toss. I just... I needed to get you up there and I couldn't think of anything else to get you out of harms way. I hope it didn't hurt too much. How we doing?"

His awkwardness draws a gentle smile to her face. It's been so long since someone fumbled over their words when addressing her, much less a man as accomplished (and yes, attractive, don't deny it Dejah) as he.

They reach the end of the small room and she turns into him to make the return trip. She's getting stronger with every step.

"Don't think I've forgotten what state I found you in," she says, a hint of playfulness under her words. "Perhaps when we return to the water's edge to look for my sword, we can find your dignity down there as well?"
dejah_thoris: (smile quiet)

She laughs as well, only wincing slightly. She grips his hand at the lance of pain, but it's much more manageable than previously.

"That sounds like a story I'd love to hear. Perhaps when we go camping next time?"
dejah_thoris: (bitch please)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-05-25 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
She nods in silent agreement, letting him guide her to a place where she can rest again. She's actually starting to feel hungry.

"Really?" She sounds perplexed, actually. "It was my understanding that humans were exceptionally body modest. Do you make it a habit to be found naked in places about town?"
dejah_thoris: (cheeky smirk)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-05-26 08:52 pm (UTC)(link)
"My apologies," she smirks up at him, a twinkle in her eye. "Perhaps there are other ways to leave one's dignity behind in an alleyway, more than once?"

Her brow furrows. "That sounds unpleasant. I assume this was before your..." She hesitates. She has distinct opinions about using untested protocols on people, but she knows he came from a different time and place than she did, and she will not judge him for it.

"Before your service."
dejah_thoris: (bitch please)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-06-01 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Please. Steve Rogers," she says, her chin dropping a bit. She was, understandably, a bit out of it the night before, but now she remembers where she knows the name from.

"You are more than a soldier."
dejah_thoris: (intent)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-06-01 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
She blinks, the wash of -- is that sadness? Something so powerful, she can feel it against her skin.

"But before, when you were getting pummeled in Brooklyn's alleys, you were just a young man. Surely it wasn't all detrimental to your dignity."

She leans a little closer, letting her shoulder touch his.
dejah_thoris: (cheeky smirk)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-06-01 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, all things considered, you've seen me covered in mud and blood, raving from fever, among other things." She sounds weary, but grateful. "It isn't as if I have a shred of dignity left with regards to you."

She mirrors that small smile back to him, looking at him through long dark lashes.

"I suppose we're pretty much even on that count."

She's known him less than a day and of all the things she knows about him, she knows he is and always has been a fighter.

"Thank you," she says. "As to who wore it better, I have my opinion on the matter, and to preserve what little dignity that remains, I will keep it to myself."

She waggles her eyebrows at him.

"Now, you said something about soup?"
dejah_thoris: (bohemian)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-06-05 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
She chuckles and sighs, grinning right back at him. A distant part of her marvels at the hint of pimalia moths fluttering in her chest right now. What in Issus's name is that all about?

"I need to get cleaned up myself. Shall I join you?"
dejah_thoris: (princess)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-06-06 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
She frowns, chews the side of her lip for a moment, glancing around before meeting his gaze again.

"I do not wish to put you out any further, but I would bathe, proper, if it's possible. Do you think, perhaps, there is a way you might find to get me to the ground?"
dejah_thoris: (swordswoman)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-06-06 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
She looks up at him and her head tilts, a smile slowly spreading across her features. She gives a slight nod.

"That should do nicely. I think I can manage that without too much trouble."
dejah_thoris: (skeptical)

[personal profile] dejah_thoris 2016-06-06 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
She looks around them at the treehouse, as if committing it to memory. She sighs, a bit of a weight settling about her shoulders.

"Yes, I suppose we should. I'll have to remember this place is here. It looks like it would be a wonderful place to spend some time just -- relaxing."
