WHAT Christmas in July
WHERE Every-fucking-where
WHEN Day 141 & 142

[IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR. It's . . . well, time doesn't really work well here anyway, but it's been 'a while' since the last 'festive activities' so that's what's happening, right here, right now.

It's still warm enough for shorts and t-shirts, but there's also big fat snowflakes falling from the sunny sky, making piles of it that are pleasantly cool and don't seem to melt. Skating rinks! Palm trees and cacti decorated with pretty sparkly lights! Do we even have those? We do today.

Besides that, you can do whatever you want to, to get into the #mood:
  • Mistletoe? Mistletoe for kissing, for cuddling, for whatever?
  • Mysterious gifts with your name on them that turn out to be a long-lost item from your childhood?
  • Blankets that you get trapped under until someone joins you in there to cuddle?
  • [insert your fun here]

[T'Challa creeps up slowly, but plants his footsteps deliberately into the crunchy snow so Erik hears him coming]

[difficulty level: 5000???? well ok]

[straightening up, but barely since he's still slouching, does run the back of his hand under his nose but comes away dry]

May I take a look?

[resolute but not angry, not looking him in the eye either]

No.

[... I mean, that's fair. he doesn't leave, though, just sliding his hands in his coat pockets and hanging out]
aintrunning: (v)

[passes his hands over the book a few more times before going to just hold it in both]

Had to leave it behind awhile back.

I'm glad you have it with you again.

Same. Not even sure it's the real deal but whatever.

Authenticity is relative. It's about the sentiment.

[slightly worn:]

"Sorry you can't hang with your dad. Here, have his book back."

It's not exactly considerate, no. This place usually isn't.
aintrunning: (a)

[personal profile] aintrunning 2018-07-16 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah . . . It checks out, at least.

[he's being polite, not looking over to see even though he's curious. he stops to crouch down instead, dragging his fingers through the snow]

[sighs, making a big production of sliding over and making room on the ledge for T'Challa]

[he glances up, stunned for a moment, but collects himself and shuffles over to lean against the window. there's not that much room, and they're big guys, so, shoulders are maybe just slightly bumping]

Mama is from the plains, where the women sing their stories. I always liked that best.
aintrunning: (z)

[personal profile] aintrunning 2018-07-16 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[makes a face, leaning away]

Ma was born and bred in Oakland. Never even left California. She tripped hard when we went camping.

[you're the one that invited him up, geez]

I assume you mean in a good way.
aintrunning: (yy)

[personal profile] aintrunning 2018-07-16 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[didn't invite you to touch me!!!]

No, the bad way. The "what do we need a latrine for, we aren't staying out for more than a day, right?" way.

[he laughs lightly at that]

Yes, that would be quite alarming.
aintrunning: (vvv)

She picked up fishing, okay. Couldn't get into hunting, definitely thought about going vegetarian after that.

[what is this conversation he doesn't know. shifts a little, just shuffling his feet]

I've always found the premise of American sport hunting distasteful.
aintrunning: (aa)

[personal profile] aintrunning 2018-07-16 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[glancing at him]

Wasn't American, it was Wakandan. Hunting to eat and survive.

[nodding, very awkwardly]

I was speaking of the practice in general.

[LISTEN IM SORRY WE'RE NEVER TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING I'M TRYING GIVE A BROTHER A BREAK]

[personal profile] aintrunning 2018-07-17 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wouldn't know, didn't really run in those circles. For, you know, reasons.

[o... ok just nods again, dropping his gaze]
