A new day. A new set of please stop hurting me. Dawson rolled his shoulders until something popped.

"Y'know what we should do? We should, like, do a duo thing. You could sit on my shoulders n' stab things while I cover ya," he suggested.

Maebe eyed the temple carefully, but her gaze strayed when he told her his idea. A slow and predatory smile lifted her features, and she snuck up behind him, poking his back.

"You'd have to make sure you could carry me on your back, first. After all that food you keep feeding me, I bet you can't manage."

Of course he could manage. Of course she was just trying to get him to carry her. Of course.

It was only natural that he took a knee and gestured her to hop on up. There were no predators around, why not?

"Mayb, I could wrap my hand all the way 'round yer waist practically," Dawson said with a snort. "I'd hafta stuff ya like a Thanksgivin' turkey t'getcha anywhere near pudgy. C'mon now, humor me!"

Success.

Maebe climbed up onto his back with a slow, careful slide. She did not seem interested in getting on his shoulders, despite how much fun that might have been. There was something childish about being on someone's shoulders. Something endearing and cute and sweet and -

She slid onto his back instead, wrapping her arms and legs around him like a little backpack and latching on.

"I will humor you this far." She compromised. "Until we have an actual fight on our hands." His back felt like it was radiating heat against her bare skin, and she wondered if maybe gaining some weight would make her cold skin warm up, too.

But she doubted his warmth came strictly from having the padding. It was probably the way his heart beat strong, and fierce, and the complete opposite of hers in every way.

"Fiiiine." He hupped to his feet and, hyper-aware of the placement, tucked his hands beneath her knees to keep her steady. "Fer someone with a fire demon, you sure feel cold..." The going wasn't particularly fast, but luckily they didn't have to worry about much. He could savor the moments that reminded him again of his nieces and nephews, asking for rides to avoid tired legs or to see above other adults. It was good to feel needed again, even if it was just in his head.

Dawson couldn't ask her to keep staying as a backpack once they reached the pool, sadly. He did her the courtesy of kneeling back down to let her off if she wanted, well before the vines could reach. Tarzanning wasn't in him today; rather he just summoned Syn and kept it over his head like an umbrella or overly large safety hat, letting the vines lash as they would while his free arm tried to wrestled them back. Getting angry at them had never did him any good anyway.

"We could practice," he continued as he reached the other side. "Y'know, in case a mission might need somethin' like that." He had no idea why that would ever be a case, except to look cool. Wasn't that reason enough?

She slid off of his back and dropped to the ground, instantly curling up as the suddenly cold air rose goosebumps on her previously warmed skin. "Practice fighting on your shoulders?" She asked, legitimately curious about the idea now. "We could. I've never done anything but play chicken while sitting on someone's shoulders. I'll probably be horrible at it, at first."

He made the right choice, letting her off to go through the lake on his own. Her first few steps were instantly hindered by suctioning gunk, pulling her deeper down into its depths until she tugged herself out of it. Her shoe slid off of her feet with the last wrench of her leg, and she quickly bent down to grab it and pull it out, too. Like hell was she losing her only pair of running shoes.

At least the vines, which snapped around her and dragged her away twice afterwards, did not try to take any of her clothing in the process.

It felt like a disturbing deja vu. The muck writhed around her legs, luring her into the waiting darkness. She struggled and fought until she was free, only to be dragged back to the start by forceful, demanding vine whips.

This was getting uncomfortable. She was wet, cold, and now she could feel the effort exhausting her. She just wanted to be warm again.

Warm, and dry, and cuddled, and cared for.

The vines picked her up into the air and slammed her down onto the hard ground three times in a row, leaving her arched in pain on their last attack. When she relaxed, she refused to open her eyes.

"Go." She called out. She didn't try to convince him she was okay. She didn't explain why he couldn't wait for her anymore. She just needed him to go without her this time. At least she knew he'd gone through the same moment before, and he'd understand.

The temple had worn her down.

"We could practice, yeah!" He was already psyching himself up. "We'll both suck, but we'll suck together, yeah? 'Til we a unstoppable machine!"

And then a wave broke out over him. Dawson rolled, sputtering and coughing out algae-filled water, around the same time Maebe found herself unable to go on. He attempted to assure her he'd be back--a step up from his stop drop and fuss routine--but all that came out were more coughs.

The trek back was a little easier. Maybe the wave had watered the vines and made them nicer? What if that was the trick: what if the vines only wanted someone to water them every once in a while?

He started to wonder if he should invest in some damn scuba gear at this rate. Slowing down would have been his natural suggestion, but he doubted Maebe would at this point. It was interesting, seeing the same girl who had been too bothered to clean up after herself as they ate now spearhead the campaign to get him his shiny.

"Anythin' we get ta practice on?" he asked.

Maebe craned her head up when the giant bull charged for them, and pointed her quickly forming weapon in it's direction. "That, probably. Let's knock it down to size first, though."

She did not feel comfortable practicing a move she wasn't familiar with, on a fully capable monster.

And just as she'd said, her trident leapt up and carved a giant chunk right out of the bull, beginning her violent tirade of cutting it down to size.
