Nevermore Tasks 030

[hisbutlerbound]

Good evening, Adstringendum. Do pardon a late night conversation.

[The video shows himself to be a little high. There's obvious mewling from down below before he tilts his camera angle down to show the rather thick wire he braided himself near his feet. He's balancing on it quite easily as the tightrope stretches from the nearest house to a nearby

[If she was the type to squeel girlishly, she would, but she isn't, so she wont]

Black, I could kiss ya! It looks perfect! I'll be out there right quick!

I'll be waiting for you on the ground when you arrive. Try not to rush.

[thelittledoll]

[Try not to rush, he says, but of course Doll'll be out there instantly, grinning from ear to ear as she glances upwards towards the wire and way too excited to bother with any cockney]

Cor blimey, it's perfect! I wish I had my shoes fer this, but socks'll be fine! Black, you brilliant man!

[INCOMING HUG, SEBASTIAN]

[Offline]

[hisbutlerbound]

[Yeah, he's down on the ground even if he seems a bit too excited and he'll glance down at his happy face. Good girl. He has her right where he wants her.

That is until she gives him a hug and he stiffens. One, he's not use to getting hugs and two she was a girl. It was most impolite of a butler]

[thelittledoll]

[Pft, you're still Black to her, screw being a butler! She'll let him go in due time and scale that tree, with those hand holds and steps, like a MONKEY, talking all the way]

I can't believe ya went out of yer way ta do this! Cord looks nice and sturdy too!

[Once at the top she sits down, removes her shoes and uses the laces to begin tying the edges of her pants down/her socks up, so they dont slip or anything]

["Black" will tilt his head, watching her scale the tree with ease and rather thinks she is a monkey. He'll follow her right up and take the tightrope by hand, easing himself up before her and stand up straight, achieving balance quickly

I made sure, Freckles. I couldn't allow anyone to get hurt. Though I doubt "Smile" would try again.

[thelittledoll]

[She laughs to the idea of Smile on the rope]

He didn't seem to thrilled about it in the Circus, didn't he?

[She stands after she's made sure her attire is 'proper', pausing to find a rather thinnish branch to break from the tree, snapping it down until it's a good weight for her, using it to counterbalance as she steps onto the wire, carefully a surely.

No net, no guidewire? No problem, this is her passion.]

It feels like a good tension. Ya haven't done this before, have ya?

[Offline]

[hisbutlerbound]

No, he didn't.

[Had it not been for his own help, he would've never done it. He takes a step back as if it's far too easy for him]

Not on a tight rope, no. I've had to balance on unsturdy things before. It is just something I seem to have a knack for.

[thelittledoll]

[She grins to him stepping backwards like that, trying to one up her? She'll gracefully move to one foot, her body naturally moving with the wobble of the wire, stick out for counter]

Aha! I remember ya on the balls! You and Suit! Cor blimey, you both were amazin'. We wouldn't lose ta ya, of course!

[Offline]

[hisbutlerbound]

[An another step and a quick one backwards with both arms out, though his legs are rather pointed in steps even if graceful with one hand extended out to her]

Some people just have natural talent or jobs that require them to be most flexible. Do try to keep up but without straining yourself.

[Offline]

[thelittledoll]

Ha! That's true, that's true! ... Is that a challenge, Black?

[She straightens herself out again and moves in quick, short steps to close the distance, her hand going to his, her expression cooling a little as she drops back into 'Doll' for concentration. It isn't odd to have a highwire partner, she's just never had one better than her]

[Offline]

[hisbutlerbound]

It certainly is, Doll.

[Sebastian is straight and pointed, a picture of perfect balance and his fingers curl around hers, waiting for her move before he takes his own. Another step back and he's pulls her, testing her will and her balance.]

[Offline]

[thelittledoll]

[She'll flail later about that, instead she's concentrating, matching her movements to his as he pulls, adjusting for the sway and dip of the wire, her feet moving slightly to keep her balance, stick out to aid it]

[Offline]

[hisbutlerbound]

[He's not use to the wire so every move she makes forces him to move as well to counter the bend of it. He doesn't let go of her hand for a moment, his own hand out to the side when he moves inwards. He's silent and just watching her]

[Offline]

[thelittledoll]

[If you can't trust your highwire partner, you're as good as dead, so when he moves inwards, she move inwards, matching her steps to his, and while her face is impassive, her eyes are alight. She loves this.]

[Offline]

[hisbutlerbound]

[He's watching her, intune with every single one of her moments. He hears the movement of her feet on the wire and the very view and look into her eyes. His hand moves outwards and presses to her stomach. It is the only warning he gives before he lowers his hand down near her thigh but does not touch to give her the foot hold she needs to climb higher on his own person]
