[That I know is going to haunt her in her sleep tonight. Sure, they skirt around the issue so often it's hard to pretend like it's not become a habit, but sometimes she thinks that maybe there should've been more. More of a discussion, at least.
Either way, it doesn't feel like the time for it now.]
[ he laughs, forgetting that his own mood had dipped. he'd thought that to be a bet long forgotten, but he supposes he had made the mistake of underestimating her own desire to make sure he's a decent competitor the next time a fair rolls into the city. ]
Did you really go looking for someone to teach me?
I wouldn't mind learning. Bastet needs a few more friends.
[ he wouldn't turn down the offer to learn if she's gone through all this trouble to hunt someone down. she may say it was by accident, but she'd kept it at the forefront of her mind. it's not like he's going to throw the effort she's made in her face. ]
[ as if that's an easy solution to not sleeping. bellamy knows it isn't. he'd suggest she read a book, but he's certain the ones she has would only keep her awake and encourage her to keep busy. ]
[ he doesn't know why he begins to type it, but he doesn't erase his message, either. ]
What's something you haven't been able to do here? Something that you want to do but obviously haven't yet for whatever reason.
[ he doesn't know why he's surprised by it, but he is. he hadn't so much as swam back home, and he'd only gone into the water on the beach to have fun with o, but swimming hadn't been what he'd expected from her. walking, sure, but he figured she may want to opt for a spacewalk without any rules being involved. ]
[ he doesn't even expect his own response, surprised by it when he sends it. ]
[Now? she almost types, almost sends. She didn't confess to that lacking activity in her life for the sake of making him offer, though it means something that he has. She looks out the window and it's dark as it's going to get out there, but she doesn't want to swim in the sun with people watching.
It's Raven. Of course she wants to float under the stars.]not on my own
[ he figured she didn't want to go alone. it's dark, he expects the beach to be quiet and far from its usual buzzing self, and he thinks about her leg, if only briefly. he's thought about going to the beach at night many times over, but only gets as far as walking along the boardwalk before circling back to his apartment. ]
[ he thinks to type back okay?, as if he doesn't quite believe her. he doesn't really know why he thinks it, anyway. they've spent time together, at her place, at the festival; he thinks, maybe, they can be considered friends. ]
[ he hadn't ever really thought about that on the ground. she'd always just been "raven" and nothing more. ]
[ which is funny, given he'd fallen asleep on her during fast and the furious, but it's not something he even wants to bring up. it's the last message he sends before he ditches his phone and makes his way over to hers. ]
