She runs through the streets with eyes painted red

WHO: Riley and Balthazar
WHAT: Going for a run
WHERE: Around the town/possibly partially into the woods
WHEN: Day 65
WARNINGS: None. I'll be certain to update if required.

They hadn't set up a time, but she'd pinged Balthazar on the network, asking him if he could meet up with her outside her place. They could either run down to the lighthouse and along the beach, or they could go up towards the woods, though she wasn't sure how far she'd feel comfortable going into them.

She waited for him to show up, doing a few stretching warm up exercises. Accelerated healing or not, it didn't hurt to avoid having to deal with a charlie horse or any other kind of painful cramp. She hummed a tune to herself as she stretched, keeping her ears and nose open for her companion.

He appears around a corner with minimal fanfare, only a soft crunch of gravel to herald his arrival. It's a little funny that a human should be so quiet in his approach. Almost catlike. Still, he's not here to startle her.

"Hello!" He calls as he gets within a few dozen yards. He's dressed more or less as he always is, minus the blazer, which isn't exactly ideal running attire. He's even wearing dress shoes rather than sneakers.

He may need some instruction.

He looks down at his shoes, which he hasn't really thought much about. But for running, she has a point.

On the other hand, he did fine in them as a Leviathan. Maybe it'll be all right. "I hadn't even considered that, actually. They're not perfect for running, are they? You may have to give me a head start."

"Wait, wait, you didn't tell me this was a healthy thing." He leans away exaggeratedly, hands up. "That changes everything. I'm going back to the bar."

He smiles to show he's joking. "What were you doing there, stretching? Should I be doing that?"

Look how cute he is; he has no clue what they're doing! Angels don't exercise like this.

He gives an exaggerated stagger at the smack, playful. "No, but you might. No hitting!"

Not it's likely she could hurt him that way, even if she were trying. Nodding at the suggestion, he tries to mimic what she was doing, bending to touch his toes. He's fortunate his vessel was in good shape when he picked him up (at least outwardly; there's some liver and kidney damage). He's reasonably flexible.

"I have sensitive skin." He grins at her, then nods and takes the advice, leaning over further until he's bent double. Straightening again, he looks at her expectantly. Now what?

He goes on imitating her, having no better idea how to go about this. He's never had a leg cramp, of course, or any other kind of cramp. Occasionally his vessel's joints go snap, but he doesn't much feel it.

"You're going to have to be my instructor, I think. I haven't done this in a while." Or...ever.
tryingitall: (squee!)

[personal profile] tryingitall 2013-05-03 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
"I have amazing genes." He winks and straightens, stretching his arms up over his head. "High alcohol tolerance, too. Comes in very handy."

Relaxing again, he tilts his head at her jogging in place, then gamely joins in for about two seconds before dissolving into jumping in place repeatedly, like an excited child. He gets some impressive height, too. "Woods. Definitely woods."

Not a good idea to get too close to the lighthouse.

He grins and takes off after her. "We'll find out!"

If it were a matter of getting to a destination, he'd get there first, no question. Actually using his vessel to run around is less familiar. He won't tire, but he may have trouble matching her speed.

[personal profile] tryingitall 2013-05-06 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
He runs alongside her, able to match that pace, and occasionally swerving to one side or another like a child distracted by a butterfly off the path. Something sparks in his eyes; he seems to get caught up in the feel of motion. He should have done this before!

...yeah, just two normal humans out jogging. Totally.

"I only trip on things when I'm drunk, and I haven't even had a drop today." He protests, bounding a few paces ahead of her happily, then resuming the steadier pace.

"Well, I've gone by Balth, Bal, and Balthy. I had someone call me Ballzy for a bit but I tried to discourage it. If you call me Bal-Bal I'm nicknaming you Whiskers."

Yeah, that's a threat.

He pauses to pluck a dandelion blossom and blows the seeds loose as they go on. "Early mornings are the best time to catch me, in that case."

"Only if you give me a ridiculous nickname," he replies, pretending to sound defensive. "It's better than Spot or Freckles, isn't it?"

[personal profile] tryingitall 2013-05-09 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
He picks up his pace in response, discarding the dandelion stem. "Oof. No, not Chomper, either. Wouldn't want to upset the people I chomped. Go a little to the left, there's a deer path or something about 100 yards down."
tryingitall: (oh well)

[personal profile] tryingitall 2013-05-09 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
He grimaces a little. It's a sensitive topic. But he started it, so he answers gamely, "I did, but I promise you, it wasn't for lack of trying not to. You're lucky you caught me in a peaceful moment."
