[and here she was, trying to enjoy the last of the warm weather, taking a slow walk around. she is still noticeably wheezing if you pay attention, but going out for a little fresh air never killed anyone - even though the irony would be great.]

{Humming to himself, Dimitri closes his eyes once more. Swinging there and letting his legs rest for a bit. It's been forever since he played on any type of swing. It really brings him back to a much simpler time.}

[chernobylite]

[she'll stand nearby, unsure about coming closer. she wants to, but at the same time, not. but, despite herself, the breeze causes her to cough and clear her throat.]

[moskva_prince]

{Turning his attention towards the cough.}

Should you be outside?

[chernobylite]

[a shrug, it takes her a moment to get her voice back.]
Fresh air has never killed anyone, has it? Besides, I couldn't sit inside anymore.

[moskva_prince]

{Swinging slowly, he nods.}

Never did hurt anyone...and I know what you mean. Being inside does that too you...

Are you alright?

[chernobylite]

[a shrug. she could be better, and would rather if she could breathe properly - but if he hasn't noticed - ]
I have been better.

[moskva_prince]

{He chuckles.}

Really...when?

[chernobylite]

Twenty years ago. [and that's the god's honest truth. now she kind of feels like she's dying all over again.]

[moskva_prince]

Do you want to ride the swing, I'm finished for now?

I'll push you if you'd like.

[chernobylite]

[she shrugs. why not? if she's feeling friendly she might as well.]
Da, sure. [and coming toward him.]

[moskva_prince]

{Stumbling off the swing, he holds it steady for her.}

It'll do you some good; it might make you feel a little better.

[chernobylite]

[she slowly settles in, putting her legs through and resting her arms on top, legs swinging idly.]
We'll see what it does...

[moskva_prince]

{He nods, taking a hold of the tire and pulling it back. Not even a foot off the ground, he releases her.}

[chernobylite]

[almost on instinct, her legs swing with the motion, in some way keeping herself going.]
This is peaceful....

[moskva_prince]

It is, I was surprised to find a swing of some kind here. {He takes a deep breath while pushing her gently.}

Is this all you have been doing today; meandering?
