[ temenos is the kind of guy who is always composed. like. always. even in the execution arena, he was composed, never showing a single crack of his own emotions short of calm and compassion, and right now
right now his ears are starting to turn red and he looks very flustered as he manages to bobble the staff of judgement enough to not drop it and try and keep the material down. at least he has on pants.
he gives axel a withering look that lacks all the heat because again, his ears are red. ]
[ That's probably the thing about it. It's like seeing a whole new side to Temenos...and the way he's getting incredibly flustered and all red? It's kind of really endearing too.
At least he does indeed have on pants. Wouldn't it be terrible luck for another train to pass soon after this one has... ]
I dunno. Seems like it's going to be awhile.
[ But, the balancing act's going to be an exercise in f(faith)utility for while, he imagines. Especially with that sling. There's a light smile on his face, and even though his tone's good-natured teasing, he's going to slide an actual, better offer in there with: ]
Sooooo, want me to just, yank you over here, or you really think you'd be able to deal with that for a bit longer?
[ this is mortifying, actually. it's mostly mortifying because it's ridiculous. he's going to say something especially sassy, at the first part, because there's a second where the wind starts to die down. ]
Don't -
[ count your chickens before they hatch, he's going to say, and yeah, wow. it sure would be bad luck, wouldn't it! which means that when he takes exactly one step, a second train comes right through and does the exact same thing, sending his cassock flying right back up with a whoosh.
mortifying. temenos shuts his mouth for once in his life and manages to shove his hand down to keep the fabric from billowing up yet again, and says goodbye to his dignity with bright red cheeks and a final: ] Just - please.
[ Even Axel can feel it in the force that there is undoubtedly a sassy remark potentially forthcoming, but...
Rip in rest, Temenos. Look at that wind velocity. The weather should've warned for excessive bad-luck-infused turbulence above grates. He's raising a hand to cover his mouth temporary because god. ]
Heheh, yeah, yeah...
Fortunately, I'm really the type of guy who doesn't leave people hangin' when they're in need. Even if their clothes might.
[ He thought that was a funny one but he reaches out for Temenos' uninjured shoulder, and his other hand to the other man's opposite side to brace him after he pulls him with a hefty tug back onto his side. Grateless.
Almost completely letting go, but not without a warm shoulder pat. ]
There we go. Maybe try avoiding grates for the rest of the day?
[ oh very funny. you are not funny!!!!! not funny at all! well, its not like he can do anything btu suffer the indignity of it all at the moment so he just rolls his eyes. thankfully for them both, he is as light as a feather and not difficult to move, and with relief and a modicum of effort on his own end, axel is able to easily pull him to sweet non-windy freedom. hope this very shoujo moment doesn't awaken anything in me.
the heavy fabric of his cassock drops, and he sighs, reaching to smooth his hand over the front of it and try and get unruffled. his ears are still very red. ]
Noted. [ this is dryer than it should be but it is also lacking heat mostly because he is lacking dignity.
[ Axel's even considering the rolling of eyes endearing. At least it really isn't like trying to move a boulder, or anything like that, though Temenos placing that bit of effort does favors. Shoujo moment definitely could have done with more bubbles—
Jokes aside, he lets out another chuckle, good-natured, and fond, of course. But he doesn't offer any further teases as the other straightens himself out a bit more. ]
Anytime.
You used to running into situations like this back home?
[ Axel's absolutely seen his fair share of trains. Namely because of Twilight Town. ]
[ mortifying. once he's satisfied with his general appearance, he will take the moment to compose himself back to his usual self as the red starts to fade to pink. sheesh. ]
Errant gusts of wind? Sure. Errant gusts of winds from below, not so much.
[ giving the grate a look that's a little withering. ] A badly thrown soulstone could've caused the same reaction, but the only locomotive I've ever seen does not function underground.
I don't suppose I could ask you to forget this happened?
[ And so, his little fight with storms has come to an end?! That's probably a blessing in of itself. He'll give him a moment for the composure to continue returning, because he's gracious like that, though is he going to stop from being jocular? Nope, not a chance. ]
I'll take a guess a soulstone's a magical artifact in your world. Anyway, I'll also give you that Twilight Town's not big on under-the-town railways either.
[ So! It looks like at least Temenos isn't from the dark ages. At the request, though, Axel can't help himself giving another lightly amused chuckle of some sort. ]
...Also, while I'm pretty good at keeping secrets, I'm gonna say that something like this is pretty hard to forget, Windy Tem.
Axel's watching the guy raise his staff with a glower, and for a moment, he does feel like there's something vaguely intimidating.
Until, suddenly, the flashbacks of what just occurred a few moments ago pass by in his own head quickly, just like that. To the point where he starts to let out a few snickers.
His Marilyn Monroe hours have successfully diminished the power of that look tenfold. ]
Oh yeah? Because somehow...I really really doubt that!
[ Wee woo wee woo danger alert!! He laughs again, more than a snicker this time, though more playful, hands raising a bit, only for him to say: ]
A little chat about you and the flappy robes in the wind?
[ crying
There is a grin now clear on his face as he's launched back into Teasing Mode. Will this mean he gets murdered by the end of this thread? Stay tuned as he hops back, to see if the other will follow because they're messing around. ]
[ as he raises his holy staff so high and does in fact chase right after him, keeping a very wide berth from the grate, thank-you-very-much! this is goofing around even if he's just embarrassed. the staff is the only way he's going to smack someone that much taller than him but he's not really trying all that hard. because teammates. ]

I don't know the meaning of repenting!
[ It's okay, though, because at one point he slips on his own feet and then goes crashing down. Axel then holds up a single finger: ]
...I'm still maintaining that by the way, even now. Just so you know!
