[counterstep]

( ah. god, that sends shivers through him. and still he listens: again, again, again. the clip is saved, memorized, and venerated.

he sends back, nowhere near as elegantly put and with a wisp of laughter hanging in the air, )

How dare you try and skip over that with how thoroughly beautiful that was. You'll pay for it later.

( and that's a promise. )

magic is definitely sneaky
did you have something in mind?

[annarr]

[it's a small accomplishment, perhaps, but the hope that the words will be there, ready to play, in the next moment of uncertainty feels wonderfully warm in his chest.]

Just that it might be an interesting test on my capacity to concentrate.

[counterstep]

oh
like an illusion?

while we're necking? 🙂

[annarr]

As long as I can manage, at any rate. You've been known to be a bit distracting x

[counterstep]

well I think the fact that I'm really turned on right now basically means we have to do this now

[annarr]

[honestly, this hadn't been on the bingo card, but no one's out here saying it isn't an incredibly pleasant surprise.]

Hypothetical "now" or literal "now," darling?

[counterstep]

good question

really, I could go either way, right now x

[annarr]

Go on, then. Name the park.

[counterstep]

it'll have to be Central then, won't it?

[annarr]

Easy, surely. There's practically a forest there.

[counterstep]

we should start easy before diving into the more challenging, no?

[annarr]

You're that confident you're going to like it, darling?

[counterstep]

well if you were here to feel me up, I think you'd understand

( really, he's too embarrassed to articulate how quickly he got hard from just the thought, and he's still thinking about it, so...

and anyway, he's always been fond of communing with nature. so to speak. )

[annarr]

Now you've got me curious.

["now"]

Come find me in the park so I can see xx

[counterstep]

babe, you really want me to walk out with an obvious chub in my jeans?

( look, if loki really wants him to... it's kind of kinky, admittedly. )

[annarr]

Why not?

For science, darling.

[humans like science, right?]

[counterstep]

well if it's for science then surely I must x

omw

[annarr]

[see? he knew it.]

We'll get you sorted out xxx

[counterstep]

( loki could have just asked, and bucky would have done it, though. he's weak.

at any rate, given his living out in brooklyn, it takes some time to get to central park, but he arrives some twenty-some minutes later (he lost count after someone shoved him into a pole on the subway platform). as he walks up, he shoots loki a quick message: )

here and hunting for an elusive and beautiful snake x

[annarr]

[it's all a very heady power. probably best to give science the w now and again, as ballast.]

Is the hunt part of it for you?

[counterstep]

well in some ways definitely

( it's how their relationship even grew to this point. bucky had sought every opportunity to connect once he realized how much they shared, and now, he cannot imagine life without loki. )

but we might be here for hours if I don't get a few hints
big place, after all, and I have no magic to track you with

[annarr]

I suppose hours would be a bit too long to wait.

Do you like the water?

[not a complete narrowing down, but a start. they've never really done simple (except, perhaps, at the core of things).]

[counterstep]

depends on how much, I suppose ( which is directed more to the puzzle rather than his real feelings about it. )

a sip? a gulp?
a whole glass?

[annarr]

Enough for a boat.

Not a large boat, but there's certainly a few of them.

It's quite picturesque, actually.

[counterstep]

perhaps a separate excursion is in order x

( a proper date, even.

but the lake, it would seem. the ramble? it'd make sense, for finding somewhere dense with cover, somewhere simple to test magic with yet not to obscure. )

how is the view?
