But what if I tell you I like punishment? Is it really punishment at all then?

It's still punishment, that's just a kink.

You'll never dissuade me of anything that way.

Maybe I'm not trying to dissuade you.

Hmm.

[that’s a very loaded monosyllable]

[leans in to kiss the very tip of his nose, teasing]

If that's your idea of a good time then I guess I have no choice but to put in the work.

[there is a smile in his eyes, even if it doesn’t make it to his mouth]

Sweet of you.

I aim to please. Just you wait.

[there's a faint bubbliness in his voice at the idea of planning something, of having something to look forward to in the future that isn't just more weird sheep rituals]

I really can’t help but look forward to it.

[perhaps he’s feeling it too. little by little, they’re winning closer and closer to their goals, after all.]

For now, what else would you like to do? We could always stretch our legs elsewhere.

[hops to his feet, pulling Charon up with him]

How do you feel about a romantic walk on the beach?

I would love that.

[offers him his hand]

[gives the top of his hand a gentlemanly kiss before he guides him out of the conservatory and towards the beach]

I did have another thought, if you get bored of the walk. A flight would give us a better view.

Oh...?

[this is sadly before they got their names back, so he can't just give Lethe a dragon ride]

[don't make me remember timelines damnit]

It would require some ingenuity since we can't fly on our own, but I thought that combining our intangibility with a big enough gust of wind might toss us up high enough to enjoy it from above for at least a little bit.

I'm willing to try.

If it doesn't work we can just pretend it never happened.

[they reach the beach without issue; if nothing else, it is a lovely sight on the ground]

[it probably...does NOT work just cuz wind can't touch the intangible, but at last it's a quick experiment.

the sea is beautiful as always.]

[he tried, ok!! it's a fun little experiment, trying to get a big enough air current to lift them upward while they're solid before going intangible. the physics don't work, but it's got them walking off their meal and enjoying the view all the same

by the time Lethe is ready to give up he's a little sweaty from the effort, a silly smile unable to leave his face]

I guess we'll have to wait until one of us grows wings to try again.

[they're very windblown it's cute. starts straightening Lethe's hair and shirt]

Pity that dragon potion doesn't give me wings that work.

[does the same for Charon, combing his hair back into place with his fingers]

Next time I'll get Daisy to give me a stronger potion. It really should do more when it's got proper dragon scales in it and everything.

I have no cause for complaint other than this, I think.

[there’s something a little suggestive there]

[cocks an eyebrow at him]

It is a complaint, though? Should I offer compensation since my gift was found wanting?

Asking you for compensation on a date is distinctly unromantic of me, isn’t it?

[teasing now]

[leans in close]

Then come up with a clever name for it that sounds more romantic.

[hooks a finger in his shirt collar]

A natural follow up to a successful romantic outing, perhaps?
