[She might be blushing, but Fjord thinks it's entirely cute.]
One princess carry for the Princess, coming up.
[He shifts to let her get her arms around his shoulders, and once she's got a good grip, he releases her to put an arm around her back and under her thighs. And thank god his strength check was good, so he has no trouble scooping his girlfriend into his arms, grinning broadly at her.]
[Jester holds her breath in anticipation as Fjord bends to scoop her up into his arms, worried he might accidentally pull something trying to bear her weight. But those new muscles aren't just for show, apparently, and she lets out a delighted shriek as he hoists her upwards.]
Wow, look at you! [She smacks his shoulder for emphasis, then points toward the bedroom door.] To the backyard!
Nah everyone's gonna be lookin' at you. [How could they not? She was absolutely magnetic and charming after all.
He did however happily follow that direction, glad the door hadn't shut all the way so he could just nudge it open with a foot. Maneuvering through the house with an armful of happy girlfriend took some doing, but he was having fun carrying her, especially with how pleased it seemed to make her in kind.
Only once they got outside did he gently let her down onto her feet, though keeping an arm around her back for the moment so she could find balance.]
[Jester dissolves into delighted giggles, her arms circling snugly around Fjord's neck. As he carries her downstairs, she very helpfully sticks her face in his neck and gives him lots of wet, noisy kisses. Only once she's being set down does she relinquish her hold, and waddle carefully over to the still-dead grass. At least if she falls here, she'll have a softer landing.]
Geez, Fjord, I can't believe how swole you are. Did you and Jim, like, work out together or something?
[Those cute little tickly kisses, and the giggles from Jester both win low, rumbly chuckles from Fjord in turn, quite enjoying how silly and affectionate the tiefling was at the moment. Drifting along after her as she wanders, just so he's near if she needs him.
He knows she's more than capable, but he just... really wants to be close right now.
And Jester should enjoy- there's an immediate whiplash between the half-orc immediately peacocking just a bit at her compliment, and hot on the heels of preening, the flush to his face as he cottons onto that innuendo.]
[Jester's definitely not complaining about Fjord's close proximity, giggling as she skates over the bumpy lawn at his blushing.]
I bet he's a really good workout buddy! [She lets him off the hook, her tail whipping as it works overtime to keep her balanced.] Keep at it, you might be stronger than me someday!
[Fjord grins at that, utterly charmed at the whippy little movements of her tail as she works on her balance. Hanging out close enough that she can grab for him if she needs a hand staying up, but trying not to crowd her at the same time.]
Well, I'd be kinda torn then. Like how strong you are, but bein' the strongest would be kinda fun too.
[Once she's done a few wobbly loops on the grass, Jester begins to make her way over to the sidewalk, grabbing Fjord's elbow for balance and hanging on tight.]
I like it, too. But it's pretty cool you can pick me up now! [She huffs, slowly releasing her grip on his elbow as she collects herself and pushes off from one foot. She's a little wobbly, but she manages to roll smoothly down the sidewalk for a few yards, giggling madly the whole way.]
No argument there! Bein' able to carry you is a nice perk. [He's just a little sappy over it. Just a bit. No big deal!
He does chuckle softly as he lets her use him as a support, smile fond even once she lets go and gives the skates a proper try on the sidewalk. Incredibly pleased that she was so very happy with the present he'd found her, enjoying the sound of her laughing.]
Yeah? Seems like once you've got a handle on those, you can be an even zippier menace than usual.
[As she turns, she tucks her heels in a little bit, and her instincts are correctβit helps her turn in a neat circle. On the way back, Jester just sort of rolls into Fjord, her face landing squarely in his chest.]
[Fjord's arms just immediately wind around Jester when she smacks gently into him, a soft, amused little huff slipping from him as he lowers his head to bury his face in her hair.]
Not as much as I love you. [Did he realize he mumbled that into her hair? Maybe! Maybe not! But he did say it!]
[Jester's arms lock a little tighter around Fjord's middle, and she lets out a happy squeak into his chest. For a moment, she doesn't know what to say, like if she says the wrong thing he might bolt. But carefully she pulls back, violet flushed across her cheeks as she gazes mistily up at Fjord.]
[She definitely can feel the start when Fjord realizes that yeah, he absolutely said that out loud. Especially with the way he was blushing in kind when she drew back.]
Well yeah. [How could he even think about trying to side-step it when she was looking at him like that?]
[Jester makes a soft, choked, happy sound, a happy wiggle going through her body.]
That'ssogreat. I love you too. ...Obviously.
[She really does, and it feels so amazing to be able to share that with him again. To know that he's ready for what she'd grown used to so quickly back home.]
