You mean smoke signals won't cut it?

[ninjainviolet]

[ Whoops. Clumsiness multiplied by two thanks to being unable to see and having no sensation. ]

I promise. Although, I'm guessing it's a little too late for that? I hit you, didn't I?

[ He has the dryness of his tone to thank for that. ]

I'm sorry. I'll try not to let it happen again.

[deus_ex_phs]

You sure I'm not the one who just dropped you?

[He's teasing, keeping things light.]

Don't worry, it's fine. You warned me you can't see or feel. Just worry about warning me about the lights before we run into them.

[ninjainviolet]

[ She gives him a wry look. ]

You know, you have a point, but if you just dropped me, then you're on the floor with me--considering how close your voice is.

[ She's returning the teasing in kind before sobering up. ]

Okay. Yeah, you're right. [ And she looks off for a moment, her brows furrowing. ] That one I pointed to before is still bigger than the others, but it's stopped right now. And there aren't any others around it.

[ Allll by itse-eh-eh-lf. ]

[deus_ex_phs]

Maybe I'm just that clumsy?

[A quick grin that she won't be able to see to appreciate, but might be able to hear in his voice, before he gets back to business.]

Alright, heading that way now. Tell me when you think I should stop.

[He's changing course, aiming for that lonely light.]

[ninjainviolet]

Somehow I don't believe that.

[ Yep. She hears that grin and chuckles in response. ]

Okay. [ And she keeps her head pointed in the direction of the light, which hardly moves as they come closer. Her grip tightens and she nods. ]

We're getting pretty close. You should stop soon.

Would you mind if we wrap this up soon?

[deus_ex_phs]

[He takes a few more steps before slowing to a stop, cautiously checking for any sign of the light that she can clearly see.]

Alright, I'm going to set you down now. I think I'm going to need my hands free.

No problem

[ninjainviolet]

I'd say that's a good idea. [ A beat. ] Unless you planned on throwing me at them.

[ Then she'd really be upset.

But she's already moving to get down, her face still turned towards the light. ]

Done!

[deus_ex_phs]

Blunt force trauma. Good suggestion.

[He is entirely joking there.]

Okay, let's get started...

[And from there, it's going to be an odd night of chasing lights and monsters.]
