Story time: (RP)

S: Acclimatizing to the high altitudes of the Bolivian salt steppes had been anything but pleasant. Having the smallest physical efforts absolutely steal your breath was almost demotivational - hardly the huffing and puffing Seiger had looked forward to at the event.
But the hardships did not end there: ''Remember, alcohol has a much stronger effect at high altitudes'', Andy had warned him - and Seiger had learned that the hard way... or rather, the absolutely-not-hard way. Needless to say, it went right into his Top 3 Embarrassing Moments to lure Alexa all the way to Bolivia for this trip and spend the entire first day here hyping her up for night-time greatness... only to absolutely fall short of expectations there.
The words 'I swear this doesnt usually happen' had rung hollow even to his own ears. His valiant efforts to please her regardless had merited that his recently split lip had opened itself again and smeared blood down his chin.... all in all, a rather disastrous performance from him.
Sure as sunrise, that should have meant the end of that - call it an impossible no-fails-allowed culture, but every line of work Seiger had ever held had taught him he has expendable and easy to replace. Duelist who maims his hand? Fired. Mercenary who botches a contract? Fired. Lover who fails to perform? ...For some reason, Alexa had not 'fired' him. She didn't even make a big deal out of it.
And so here they were, on the evening of the acclimatizing's Day Two, soaked pleasantly in the thermal springs these plains had to offer. It was difficult to tell which bits of light came from the dying sun setting in the West like a great bloodshot eyeball, and which came from the dancing tongues of flames the atmospheric torches emitted, spreading their steamy gossip in the shapes of flickering orange lights that bounced over the small waves and puffy steam clouds that rose from the pool... and of course, the bodies within.
,,You know what causes this steam?" Seiger asked casually as he eyed his partner.

A: As for Alexa, aside from the constant exhaustion as they got used to the altitude, everything went rather peacefully. Any moment away from managing from the stable was truly a vacation, no matter the setting and set backs. Still more than happy that Seiger initially invited her to join him here, and nothing had changed on her side. Overall, everything was still perfect.
Her head rested on his collarbone as she silently appreciated the cozyness of the location. A sunset, in a thermal source, while skinny dipping with this Tall Dark and Handsome, what’s not to love. And its only when Seiger’s voice resonated again -of course, as she figured long ago that silence wasn’t his favourite setting- that Alexa opened her eyes again to look up at him. “ Hmm?.. what does?”

S: As peaceful as the moment was, having her attention fixed intently on him as he asked his question was an even greater delight to him. If she had thought he'd bring up the scientific explanation, she was mistaken - leave that to the scientists. He merely returned a cheeky grin:
,,I'm pretty sure it's you."
And just to make his point abundantly clear, he touched two fingers to her shoulder with a TCHH sound, as if briefly scorched just then.

A: Of course Al could only roll her eyes at his very elaborate assumption, still smiling nevertheless. What a dork, was he truly the same dangerous looking military daddy she set her eyes on in Tuscany?.
“pretty sure?” Al repeated, “ —why not certain?” She raised her eyebrows and looked at Seiger with a fake offended expression, gladly teasing him.

S: An eye roll, yes, good... that was typically an expression she reserved for something truly great; a particularly cheesy comment ooor, of course, a particularly pleasant moment.
The air of affronted dignity she presented next evidently bore a stamp of teasing, and he returned the energy by dropping his voice:
,,Why, sweet thing, that's because it might just as well be me. You should touch, feel for yourself --"

A: Al scoffed almost instantly “Is that so?” She peeled herself off him so she could see better. Her eyes went up and down until Alexa reached with her hand, only touching his chest with the tip of her finger, making the smallest “tss” noise as a new banter to feed their ego fight.

S: If, for a short moment he was disheartened to have their physical contact broken, it was short-lived as she fixed her attention upon him. Subconsciously, he huffed himself up a little; obviously enjoying her scrutinizing eyes eating him up. The finger to his chest sealed the deal - he grabbed her wrist and pulled her close, closing the distance between them in an urgent kiss. If not either of them, then surely the passion of that kiss caused the steam.

.....things kinda quickly went off in another direction hereafter, hahaha :' >
