Moss, moss, everywhere. Luckily the terrain is getting smoother, no more sharp rocks underneath the green moss, waiting to break your ankles. The forest looks like no one has been here for ages. No B&B for you. The good news is that the animals don't fear humans and you should have no problem catching yourself some dinner.

"But you'd look better without it"? Aye, I'm sure you would!

[ laughs loudly. don't take it seriously. he meant it as an attempt to make fun of himself. that's something you were expecting to come out of his mouth, weren't you? ]

[recurred]

[folds arms and just sort of smiles. you really are a bag of ridiculous]

[cabineyes]

Now. May I have my coat back, please?

Or did you grow so fond of it that you'd rather not part from it?

[ clara's new look. the motorbike girl. young impossible rebel. ]

[recurred]

[she already owns a leather jacket, long before you gave her the coat]

[pulls it off the tree she'd rested it on and tosses it over to him]

It smells, by the way. Can't say pirate musk is my favorite thing.

[cabineyes]

[ catches it. hey show some respect. ]

If it bothers you that much, you're welcome to wash it.

[recurred]

[folds arms]

Last thing I'm going to do is your chores.

[cabineyes]

Thought I might ask.

[ mr. smee is not here so. lmfao. doesn't put the coat on because it's too humid for that shit. ]

[recurred]

[hikes up skirts and picks up her canteen to head on out to get water]

You could always drop it in the creek.

[cabineyes]

Lass, if you think that will do the trick I'm going to withdraw my request.

[ also picks up a canteen because nick and michonne are shooting some mean glares at his way. ]

[recurred]

[makes way back down to the water]

It's better than nothing.

[cabineyes]

Somehow I very much doubt it.

[ it might ruin the coat. :'( ]

[recurred]

[stops at the edge and kneels down to dip the canteen in]

Whatever you say, fussy.

[cabineyes]

[ fussy? ]

Careful or you might find yourself in the water again.

[recurred]

[looks up at him and narrows eyes]

That a threat?

[cabineyes]

A warning shot.

[ your ass looks so fine crouching down in front of me. ]

[recurred]

[makes a sort of brushed off 'ah' noise, this is serious. and dont think she doesn't feel those eyes. those dirty peeper eyes]

[withdraws canteen and pushes herself up to face him]

Not much of one. A proper warning shot would be more like...

[raises eyebrows and dumps canteen over his head] This. [jerk]

[cabineyes]

[ oop. ]

[ that's just wasting water, it won't make him stop. quite the opposite. blinks in surprisement, amused by this sudden turn of events. ]

What? Is this a plan to get me naked, lass?

[recurred]

[idly twists the cap back on while watching him drip so...drippily]

I don't think I'd need much more than a request to get that.

[cabineyes]

[ thank god his guyliner is water-proof! brushes wet hair back from his face. ]

Try and find out.

[recurred]

[still not backing down from the initial canteen dumping. a step back could and should have occurred, but instead she just takes a controlled breath and tilts her chin up at him]

Trying to challenge me?

[cabineyes]

[ almost close enough to drip on her. there are water drops in his eyelashes as she's close enough to see. tilts his head slightly, trying to deduce what's going on in that cute little head. ]

We're not that different, you and I. We both love a good challenge.

[recurred]

[jaw locks and unlocks as she thinks, fingers fiddling with the canteen thats between them before one hand lifts off and reaches up to brush a bead of water that's collected on his chin.]

You'll have to try harder than that.

[cabineyes]

[ automatically leans into the touch even though it's very brief and neutral. does nothing about the dripping, just stands very still as his eyes follow her every move. ]

How hard would you like me to try?

[recurred]

[keeps her hand there, almost warily as she looks from it back up to match his gaze. tough, know it all exterior slightly wavering before she holds it back again.]

Enough to convince me to lose.

[cabineyes]

[ wants to move but decides against it. it's like he's waiting (and hoping) for something to happen and not wanting to ruin it. the teasing tone is completely gone from his voice. it started as just another game but now he's probably betting in too much. ]

Clara..
