He wiped the bit of water off his face, blinking. "I see that," he deadpanned, watching her get out of the river. He didn't worry about the droplets that had soaked into his clothes as there was nothing he could do about it.

((Sorry, short post... Lack of inspiration will do that to a girl. *frowns* So, it's a bridger post.))

(It's cool. Sorry about the late reply and all. So how about a change of scenery? XD)

She could will the offending drops off his clothing, but she decided that he'd dry off eventually. Picking up her shoes instead of risking ruining them by wearing them, she walked away from the river's edge. She passed by him, looking at him questioningly.

"So that's your truck there, right?" she asked, pointing to it. Without waiting for an answer, she headed towards where the truck was parked, looking back at him as if expecting him to follow her. "What're you waiting for?" she asked playfully.

((What did you have in mind?))

Titus walked after her, sticking his thumbs in his pockets. "Yes, that is my truck," he told her as he came up next to the (naturally) bright red vehicle with chromed accents. He then fished out his keys and hit the unlock button. "Climb on in." The fire mage meant 'climb' as the truck was fairly tall and had nerf bars installed so that one could swing up into the truck easier. Even he had issues on occasion getting up into the tan leather driver's seat when he was absolutely exhausted.

(Bwuh, I totally forgot about Trisphee. x.x

I have no idea, exactly. We can either go to a public place, somewhere he's personally connected to, or to neutral ground. Depends if you want to get mushy or action-y. Hey, he's the one behind the wheel. XD What would you have in mind?)

Coming face to face with what would be the reddest vehicle she has ever seen, even redder than the usual firetruck it seemed, Kali thought it typical of its owner. She also thought the truck was sheerly towering over her and her short frame. Her family was never particularly blessed with height and it showed the most in her. Well, thank goodness for the nerf bars.

She opened the door on her side and chucked her bag on to the passenger's seat. Taking hold of the side of the opening, she literally had to climb in as he had told her to, jumping to get inside the truck with a grunt.

((It's okay. And I guess I'm going to wing it.))

He realized she was going to have troubles the moment she tried to hoist herself up in a way that wasn't like trying to climb into a horse's saddle. Titus walked around to her and grabbed her around her tiny little waist. "Here's a tip, before you throw yourself onto the ground. Use the right foot first on the nerf bar, grab the oh-shit bar, and vault up like you would onto a horse's back." Instead of letting her put it into practice, though, he lifted her up high enough so that she could more or less get her butt into the seat.

Titus didn't mind he was essentially a bit handsy with her. She had a little waist and it wasn't that difficult to do that with. At least he had ignored his initial impulse, which was to grab her ass - or, rather, the back of her thighs - and lift. That would have likely gotten him slapped. At least this way, he was in more or less neutral territory and had gotten her into the truck with few issues.

He circled back around the truck and did what he had told her in reverse. Left foot on the nerf bar, grabbed the steering wheel, and smoothly hauled himself up onto the seat. Once there, he heated the diesel and turned the engine over before buckling up. "Well, I have a few ideas where we could go," he said to her after a moment of silence. "We could go get something to eat or go to the park or even go see a movie. All I know is that I don't want to really go anywhere where my family would likely go, because I really don't feel like talking to them and having them mention the shit I did today. What do want to do?"
