I don't intend on staying out of Hell. [Dorian splits the last of the wine between their two glasses, then drinks his as quickly as possible. He balances the glass beside the bottle. And he pulls himself to his feet.]

Think you can climb to the top?

[Dorian gives Judas one of his sweetest smiles.] I don't think about peasants. [And he's off, climbing up through the branches with little attention to what it will do to his clothing.]

[Dorian doesn't normally have a height advantage, and he has his recklessness, but it's strangely heartening to see Judas taking risks. Perhaps it shouldn't be. Perhaps he shouldn't mistake recklessness for confidence. And yet, yanking himself up from one branch to another, throwing himself onto the mercies of luck, he still smiles.]

[Dorian grins, perching there with a hand on a higher branch to keep him stable.] I spent about a decade travelling anywhere I could, from the depths of the Amazon to the heights of Everest. This isn't even effort.

I travelled a great deal after the Second World War. [He yanks on the branch above him, getting it to drop leaves on Judas's head.] Reconstruction was boring, and I was getting bored. So I followed the paths of doomed and missing explorers, trying to solve the unsolved mysteries of the world.

[Laughing, Dorian tilts his head to the side. This, of course, means he has to rely on the branch for balance, which means even more leaves in Judas's face.] One or two.

[At least when Dorian rights himself, the offending branch stops its assault.] Oh, I didn't tell anyone about the things I found out. I just wanted to solve them for my own satisfaction.

[personal profile] depicted 2014-03-29 07:05 am (UTC)(link)
Always. [He nods his head towards those final branches.] Care to try getting to another tree?

All the better. [Dorian eyes the distance, taking measure, preparing himself, and jumps.

And falls. Ow! He probably twisted something on that branch. Several branches crack and fall under him, but he is caught before he totally hits the ground.]


Ah.

[Dorian looks up a little dizzily towards Judas and the mess he has made.] But the branch you need to jump to is still there.

[And that's what matters.]

[Dorian only grins.] So you don't believe you have more skills than your lord? What kind of peasant are you?

[He tries to pull himself up, realizes this is going to screw up his balance big time, and decides not to after all. Let gravity fight for its victories.]
depicted: (take a breath and hold on tight)

[personal profile] depicted 2014-03-30 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Dorian laughs, which unsettles the branches. He has to move fast, scrambling under fallen ground so that he can grab a branch with his one arm.]

Congratulations, Judah. You have won yourself the right to continue doing all the manual labour between us. [And then, with hard effort, Dorian swings his feet up to a branch. He nearly slips off but is able to gracelessly get hold of the trunk. Carefully, he pulls himself to his feet.]

But how I regret falling now. Robes being what they are, I'd love to be above you.

[Dorian seems pretty amused by that last comment.] You still have so much to learn. Context matters far more than actual questions of visibility.

[Dorian gauges a branch above him, steadies himself, crouches, and launches forward. With the best effort he can, he grabs hold and scrabbles up, one level closer to Judas now.]
