old hunting groundsJeremiah just gave Algie a look. "Yes, well. I'm not the one who's a published author back in his home country." At least that meant Algie was far more interesting here than Jeremiah was. A son of a Countess who had finally come back home? There was no story there. (There absolutely was.) He was distracted by the food, however, and sat to enjoy it as well. It was just as terrible good as he remembered it being. An eyebrow was raised when Algie was writing the check out, clearly not sure what he was planning. A hand was waved for him to continue on, Jeremiah leaning back with a stretch and an amused look on his face. Anyone who actually recognized them might be a little worried.

faded chillJeremiah himself was not as cold as he should have been either but that was not really surprising, all things considered. He stretched under the hand along his back, fingers still beckoning Algie closer. Once close enough he was grabbing the other man's hand and pressing a kiss to the palm before it released it to run his own hand through greying hair. The silver-haired man was feeling particularly pleased and relaxed.

faded chillAlgie tilted his head with a small chuckle for the hand in his hair, blinking lazily without his glasses. It took a good moment before he realized that Jeremiah's spine didn't feel like an ice cube. He tilted his head to get a good look at it, the scarring was certainly there but ... "Miah, your back looks better."

old hunting grounds"No one cares about my books," Alg huffed a bit. It had been a while since the last trilogy had been released but his next book already had a release date so it wasn't even like they could badger him for that. He was hardly JK Rowling or JRR Martin. Alg continued to eat, pouring the au jus over the roast beef because it was really the juice that made the whole thing. "Taste the same. Though-" He took a bite, "They say smell has the strongest sensory tie to our memories." He inhaled and laughed, "Does it smell like we're young pricks?"

faded chill"Hm?" Jeremiah raised an eyebrow, looked up at Algie. It took a moment for him to click because he was in that special relaxed place he had not been in for some time. "Does it?" he asked after a moment, head tilting to try and look over his shoulder at it and then snorting at himself for even trying. "I had meant to say something earlier when you got back." A pause. "Not about my back, at least, but that I did not get as cold as I should have while you were gone." Never mind that with him now focusing on it, Algie's hands were not as warm as usual either. The feeling they usually gave off felt muted.

"Too much?" he laughed at Algie's expression. "I'm sorry, precious." His fingers squeezed and he pressed a kiss to his lover's cheek.
They did end up being slightly obnoxious tourists on the way back to the hotel though.

"You don't honestly believe that, do you?" Jeremiah shook his head. There was a mini-series, Alg, that meant some level of being in the public eye. He was mid-bite when Algie made the young pricks comment and he ended up choking on his food, having to reach for his glass for a drink. "Probably," he said after a moment, cheeks reddened, "you're certainly back on with that timing of yours." Algie had always been able to time things just right to either have Jeremiah snort his drink or nearly choke with amusement when they were younger (and older but not as often).

faded chillAlg took a moment, concentrated, and barely seemed to lift himself off the bed. Generally all he needed to do was let his mind drift or think 'up' thoughts and he would just go. He'd explored this in his free time. Now he barely lifted at all before the sense he'd hit a wall set in, "I don't think the magic works when we're away..."

faded chillJeremiah just arched an eyebrow at the not nearly as amusing lift. His fingers flicked towards the towel at Algie's waist but then he was rolling his shoulders. There was a lack of stiffness there, as well as a lack of pain he had become accustom to. "Proximity to the cage, you think?" he questioned aloud. Part of him had wondered but then also thought immediately it was better they had left the cats in America (because, yes, he had briefly thought about bringing them). "At least I may not have to worry about my eyes being a problem ..."

old hunting groundsJeremiah just gave him a look, filching what he could from the plate before Algie finished all of it off. "You keep telling yourself that, snowflake," he teased before his phone buzzed. It was eyed suspiciously before he saw that it was from Wil and- "Are you bloody kidding me?"

faded chill"Or the chill," Alg murmured, pressing a broad hand across the other man's spine. If they truly lost their magic when they were further away... His fantasy of running away forever felt just a bit stronger. "It's something to think about.. with all the other thousand mysteries." He realized very suddenly this was the first time they'd done anything like this together... together. Traveling, a hotel room, just the two of them- He pushed back Jeremiah's damp hair and leaned in to kiss him before scooting up on the bed and laying out beside the other on his back. He looked a bit besotted when he felt comfortable enough to be.

faded chill"I don't-" Jeremiah had not really thought about it much because the fact of the matter was that his life had changed when that had happened. The chill, the pain that ebbed and flowed, was something the had to accept as a constant in his life. With it fading- "It's something to think about," he agreed finally, quietly, leaning into the kiss and fingers brushing against Algie's cheek. When the other man laid out on the bed next to him, looking at him, one of those rare things happened. A ruddy red spread briefly across his cheeks because Algie looking besotted was always something that made his stomach flutter. "... think about it later," he said, rolling onto his side and resting a hand against the dragon tattoo there on him. "Thinking about this now. It's nice."
