Sex: Male-would you be okay with ending this thread after maybe one more post from each of us? i was thinking they could find the skyfall glen territory next, and either hunt or fish at the lake there. I can put up a new thread there if you want.
Between the thick, leafy forest canopy that still hung over them, Jethro could indeed see the peak of an incredibly high, and treacherous-looking mountain. It looked to be a far more challenging climb than the slopes he and @Nori had struggled to climb at first, and the thought sent a surge of excitement and adrenaline through the dark one. He would like to climb it, at some point. To conquer it, to stand quite literally on top of the world - or as close as he could get, anyway, and look down upon it all.
Curiously, the other couldn't look at him as she spoke her name. Was that embarrassment, there? Self-consciousness? That was new - and so incredibly unlike Nori. But he wasn't the type to ask. Not so soon, anyway.
"Good to meet ya, Siyet," Jet offered after that, though he did not slow his pace until their wandering carried them to a stream. The two of them shared the same idea, wordlessly moving forth to drink from it. The clear water also afforded Jethro another rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of himself as that dark, hideous-looking face stared back at him. Such a sight caused a number of memories to resurface - things he would've preferred remained buried. Jethro closed his eyes as he finished his drink, ignorant to the woes of the other as he turned away.
Although it did nothing to abate the heat, the cool water did re-energize him to a degree. The stream was not enough to fish out of, unfortunately, though.. it was flowing down from somewhere, which meant there had to be a source ahead, right? "Let's keep followin' this. See if it brings us anywhere," Jet proposed, casting another glance towards the other, at that.
