Rohan draws no attention to how he can feel the slight change in how he is nestled in place.
Hm.
It's cold up here. The closer he is, the less cold he becomes. That's just a fact they have both come to accept. ]
Is THAT a physics lesson?
[ HE'S NOT SURE HE WANTS IT ]
no subject
[Jiji may be the pilot of the family, but that doesn't make him any less interested in aircraft. Or in aviation history, for that matter.]
I could do one. But you might scream again.
no subject
[ His hand briefly motions in front of Jotaro’s face before that arm is back around his neck again... pulling himself a little tighter against the other man in case he's feeling wicked. ]
You are going to do it anyway. I KNOW you.
[ That's a bold proclamation. ]
no subject
[He tilts his head in Rohan's direction, just enough that the gleam in his eyes is unmistakable.]
Kishibe Rohan-sensei, wrong. Perish the thought.
[And that's the warning he gets, before Jotaro's hold tightens protectively around him and they go swooping up in a classic demonstration of the maneuver described: first looping upward the full hundred and eighty degrees before sweeping end over end in a half-barrel roll that takes them from upside-down to upright in a single smooth motion.]
no subject
[ Before he can consider the word 'figuratively' to follow up, he is suddenly very, very upside-down and very, very nauseous when he realizes it. He likes experiences as much as the next guy and craves what near anything feels like. There ARE some lines. He does NOT scream but he DOES yelp again, his mouth staying open in a defensive sneer which bares his fangs and is trying to scare... something. The whole concept of the AIR threatening him provokes him enough for a loud, breathy HISSSSSS. ]
Where did you even LEARN that??
no subject
[But in accompaniment to that hiss, there's a soft rumble — amusement deep in his throat that bubbles up in the form of a chuckle.]
I won't do it again. But I've still got you, see? You're all right. I've got you.
no subject
[ He thinks he can trust Jotaro on this one. Thinks.
He also thinks he can trust him to fly and speak at the same time. Fly, speak, and hang on to him. ]
I thought it was only the ocean that you were well-versed in. [ Clearly he was wrong on that one. ] Did you... read a lot on your travels or did you just pick this up? [ Rohan leaves the question open, swinging his eyes from Jotaro’s face to the rooftops below again. ]
no subject
[Says Edgelord McHardAss™, faithful patron of the local lending library since 1975.]
I kind of always have? Even when I was a kid. I'd get interested in something and then want to know all about it, so I'd read everything I could get my hands on about it until the interest shifted to something else. I really liked armor for a while, when I was maybe five or six?
...I like knowing things. But you do, too, don't you? So...you get it. That feeling. Wanting to know things. It's that same feeling, I think, that you have too.
no subject
I like bookish, learning types. You don't fit that bill. In a good way.
[ He looks right back up, eyes going wide. ] New things aren't bad. I know that feeling of wanting to know things. It's the very definition...
Nnn... are we close?
Close to home.
[ Because boy howdy are they close up in the air and he wants to draw... ]
no subject
[Even with the clarification, there's a moment where Jotaro catches himself thinking that it's not really what Rohan'd meant at all — or at least, he spends a moment entertaining the notion, anyway. Nnn...are we close?, and there are so many ways to interpret a single word, so many variations that could all be proven as true.
How often this keeps happening. How frequently they end up close. Once, it was even close enough to kiss.
Well, twice. Depending on how you count it.
He adjusts his movements, trimming his wings for a smoother, steadier ride. When he flies on his own, he likes to go rough, likes the shove of air resistance in his face and the ragged animal feeling of working to keep himself airborne; he likes to feel as though it's a fight to stay there, to test himself against physics and find them wanting in his stead. But with a passenger, it's different. He needs to think of Rohan, of the fact that he's at the mercy of whatever sort of ride Jotaro offers him, and things are always different when you've got someone else to worry about besides yourself.]
Had enough of flying for a while?
no subject
It gives him ideas. Beautiful ideas. Ideas he will take a better look at when he is back on the ground and in his house, yep. He isn't whining about having something new and exciting to do, and he too caught the double-sided implication of what he had just asked without acknowledging it. Boy. ]
I think I'm better-suited for groundwork. That's all.
no subject
[Thanks, Superman. It's convenient, the way the darkness is as clear as daylight for his gargoyle eyes; it makes plotting their trajectory easy and instinctual, and soon enough they're coming to a much easier landing than the one he'd made when he'd arrived at the tailor shop before.]
no subject
That's quite enough flying for me this week. You have gotten--....
Good at it. At least.
I knew you wouldn't drop me.
[ you weren't saying that fifteen minutes ago, bud. ]
no subject
[He holds steady then, relaxing his hold on Rohan but without making any overt motions to let him down or push him off; evidently he's noticed Snakebutt's caution and is patiently letting Rohan figure out the process of getting back down at his own pace, rather than assisting in it himself.
Not that he really minds. A few extra seconds of being close? That's difficult to protest. Not when it's only for a moment.]
You say a lot of stuff about things you already know, I've noticed.
no subject
Because I know a lot of things. We have lived in the same house for how long now...? Come on.
no subject
[But at least, he seems amused by it; the remark seems to be more self-directed than anything else, like he's figured something out and pleased by it.
Idly, he joins Rohan's effort at fixing his hair for one swipe, so light that he's barely even touching the locks of hair he's adjusting. Then, when he draws his hand back, it's to unshoulder Rohan's bag and offer it to him again.]
You should get inside. It's chilly out here.
no subject
I should. I need to draw y-- [ PRETTY SNEAKY, BRAIN. ] Show me what you want me to draw, hm?
no subject
Sure. Let's go see if any of it works out.
