Roof, Sunday Night

Pip was up on the roof plunking on his guitar, staring up into the stars.

Jesus. Poor Marie. And to think he started this day planning on soaking everyone.

[[Open!]]

Walter grinned as she went, and laughed when she whooped. They must be rubbing off on each other.

He waited for her to have a few seconds of free fall before launching himself off the edge, hooting delightedly.

Nadia closed her eyes and spread out her arms as she fell. This was as close as she'd ever come to flying without being in a plane, and she relished it.

Though, at some point, they would have to figure out how to get to do it from higher up. . . .

If they could only rent a plane...

Walter let Nadia fall as far as he thought he could safely permit before throwing out a handful of wire to catch her gently, and the other handful to start the process of catch and release on the side of the building that would bring them both safely to the ground.

Walter was quite good at multi-tasking.

Nadia smiled as she felt the now-familiar brushes of wires slow her descent. Roberto had been very impressed when they'd done the parachuting lessons, and she'd already been familiar with jumping from great heights.

Not that she'd ever told him why. . . .

Years of practice.

Really, these jumps never lasted long enough, and too soon he had to give Nadia a last adjustment to make sure she landed on her feet and made the final grab on the building before releasing to it drop down to the grass nearby.

But he did so love how much she loved it.

Nadia landed, then let herself flop backwards on the grass as she stared up at the building and the sky and sighed.

"I don't think I'll ever get sick of that."

Walter lay down on his stomach next to her and propped his head on his folded arms. "Someday we're going to go someplace with a tall bridge or something like that," he promised her. "Or renting a plane."

"I agree. Sooooo much." Nadia rolled over so that she was bumping shoulders with him. "It really is a nice night."

"It is," Walter agreed, leaning against her. "Do you want to go for a walk before we go inside?"

"Ooo. Maybe we should find a nice spot and . . . avoid rocks in the back."

Walter laughed, remembering the Mountie finding them. "I'm glad you remember that. Yes, let's."

"Of course I remember that. I have a very good memory for embarrassing situations. Which isn't always a good thing. . . ." Nadia trailed off as she got up to lead the way to some place more private.

Walter got up and brushed himself off, even if he was likly to just get mussed anyway and followed Nadia out of the scene and off to do something else fun.
