[parodeity]

...so you like just don't know zodiac signs, d'you. [ amused. ]

[windeity]

[A skeptical look.]

No? Not really. I know the animals and stuff though because I'm a ram. [Thanks, John.]

[parodeity]

You should look 'em up. They're associated with certain people, too.

[windeity]

...I'm going to feel like a dumbass once I figure this out, aren't I.

[parodeity]

Luckily I love you despite the fact you're a complete dumbass. I actually have a thing for the criminally obtuse.

[windeity]

That's a low blow, Strider. [There's a grin though and he shakes his head.] Whatever, talk about how obtuse I am later and come at me again. You haven't won yet.

[parodeity]

I'm one away from winnin' and then you'll never be able to pin me to anything? [ what if instead he just gives john a continued hard time for that statement. ]

[windeity]

[What if he narrows his eyes and bolts, hammer swinging to try and knock Dave's feet out from under him? What then?]

[parodeity]

[ he jumps and lands neatly on the huge hammer portion mostly to fuck with john??? ]

[windeity]

[GODDAMN CAT. He yanks the hammer out from under him instead to try and throw off his balance.]

[parodeity]

[ his free hand slaps onto john's head and for a split second there's pressure and weight as he flips over john...like a cat.......... ]

[windeity]

[His arm snaps out and grabs Dave by the back of the shirt to try and stop him? CATS!!!!!]

[parodeity]

[ does. john have a plan if he snags dave out of the air by his shirt or. ]

[windeity]

[Flipping him over his shoulder in a fireman carry? So no absolutely not, but if he's successful he hauls Dave up and over and just stares at him.]

[parodeity]

[ so how would he end up holding dave ]

[windeity]

[They would end up like this and John's just looking at Dave anyway.]

I am not a vaulting horse, dude.

[parodeity]

[ how can you look at dave from that angle john...regardless that doesn't keep his right arm in place so enjoy a metal blade gently pressed into john's side because if you're going to grab someone disarm them first dumbass... ]

Three-two.

[windeity]

[Mostly by looking over his left shoulder, but yeah he didn't think this through and--]</small ...goddamnit, really?

[parodeity]

You need to plan better. Let me down? [ he captchalogues his sword for the moment. ]

[windeity]

I know, but that was instinct. [Still, he drops Dave to his feet and captchalogues the hammer as well.] But okay. You won that round. So what'll it be?

[parodeity]

[ right, he won. dave shrugs and slides his arms around john's shoulders apparently to just kind of drape casually. ] I do have something in mind, but what if I come up with somethin' better later?

[windeity]

[That's fine, his hands are only coming up to grip Dave's over his shoulders.]

Well. I could maybe be persuaded into two favors if you time it right.

[parodeity]

What kinda time would that be? [ he presses his face into john's neck and it's fairly clear he's just hugging john and breathing him in with zero intent to start anything else. ]

[windeity]

[He doesn't mind at all and he's using one hand to run over the back of one of Dave's in a soothing sort of gesture.]

The right kind, duh. [But he glances at Dave again.] Hi, dork...comfortable back there?

[parodeity]

Yeah. [ john's warm and smells nice so yes. ] ...come to bed with me? [ it's unclear if that's meant to be his favor or not. probably not. and he means "i'm a little tired" which of course means he's mostly exhausted. ]
