Lake Tahoe.

[dontchaserabbits]

The elevation in Lake Tahoe is something that requires getting used to. Raleigh's out of practice with altitude but settles in okay once once he downs the water bottle Tendo put in his rucksack like a doting mom. That man needs to get back with his kid, stop working so much.

"We're here," Mako's quiet voice announces, clear as a bell in Raleigh's ear.

"Mmm?"

"You fell asleep. Pay the nice driver so we can get out of the taxi?"

Five of her fingers find five of his.


"Mmm."

[dontchaserabbits]

"Are you falling asleep on me now?" 'On' being figurative, given positioning. "I can't be boring you yet."

[co_pilot]

"No one would call that boring."

Her other hand may stray downward to teasingly pinch.

It's enough to make Raleigh jolt.

"I'm taking your towel next time, I swear."

Raleigh slides down to land his head against Mako's chest, letting his mouth land here and there and anywhere.

Now it's her turn to jolt, though it's more of a gradual, fluid movement, her head tipping back as she sighs.

"I do not believe you."

[dontchaserabbits]

"Is this because you've finally become aware of your magic powers?"

[co_pilot]

"What power would that be?"

[dontchaserabbits]

"You woke me up again."

[co_pilot]

She laughs, not even trying to stifle the sound, and rolls them over.
