[ what's up smiley, yuri's head is just gonna pop out of a window a floor up, look down at him and then twist so he can look up at where he's looking. ]
... I can see your mind ticking from all the way up here, you know.
[ APPRECIATE HIS FACE. yuri turns so he's look back down again, and folds his arms on the windowsill. ]
Yeah. It's a bit too much to climb as is.
[ ... ]
If you start inside a building you can just climb out the highest window and save yourself some energy, you know. [ -- and then he just vanishes inside because this building has More Windows above this one. ]
By the time Yuri peeks out of the next window, Joonghyuk is already climbing past the second floor. Apparently, he finds it less taxing to just start climbing. His daemon shifts into a hawk and follows him. ]
[ wow, stubborn. he's just gonna go up to the top of the building and then swing himself out the window and start climbing. i hope yjh gets a foot in the face.
his own daemon is much smaller now and wound around his neck like a little scraf. she's just chilling, having a good time. ]
[ He will not? And if the foot comes at him, he will shove Yuri away. Good thing I know Yuri is nimble enough and weighs like a piece of white bread so he should be okay.
Depending on the height of a peak, you could possibly see over a storm. It's hard to tell if this is actually an island or if this is some walled port city.
[ But! Not the case here? Joonghyuk looks over to an area when he sees something flash by the corner of his eye.
[ i hope the flash blinded them both, because yuri's certainly squinting. ]
...
Well, if that's a lighthouse I can make out over there, maybe a port city? There's not a lot of need for a lighthouse if no ships are gonna dock here, ever.
Once upon a time. Sure doesn’t seem like any ships are coming in now, dense fog aside. I wonder how long it’s been like this — if there were ships and trade there’d be more in the way of people and supplies.

I can't climb the tower.
[ THAT ANSWERS EVERYTHING. ]

Anyway, they can reach the top of the building. ]
... The view is awful.
no subject
I'm not sure why you thought it would be anything else. [ still, he's squinting out into the fog. ]
You can smell the ocean clearer from up here though. If there was any doubt left about there being a beach nearby.

[ But! Not the case here? Joonghyuk looks over to an area when he sees something flash by the corner of his eye.
It is the tower. ]

[ oh. the tower. what secrets do you hide. ]
no subject
[ yes... The tower... It is shiny at the top from the lightning, but now it's hard to see.
Lightning strikes further away and they can see that the top of the tower reflects? ]
no subject
[ hmmmm— oh? ]
… What was that at the top of the Tower? Glass?
no subject
[ ??? After mansplaining, he squints some more. ]
... Whatever it is, it is reflective.
no subject
Yeah, I can see that much. If it’s to make it visible in a fog, it’s not doing the best job of it. [ so… is it something else? ]
no subject
... Is it for sunlight to reach something inside the tower?
[ They can't even properly see what it is. He hates this. ]
no subject
Like an observatory or something…?
no subject
[ Joonghyuk is a criminal. ]
no subject
[ he’s among company. ]
no subject
[ Who cares about being gentle? This place is mostly abandoned.
He looks to the other rooftops. Just as desolate. ]
We might need to coax more out of those children.
no subject
[ like lock picking instead of breaking it, sir. ]
… … ….
[ he looks like he can’t imagine yjh coaxing anything out of children other than a fight or flight reaction. ]
no subject
[ When he looks back, he notices Yuri staring. He doesn't say anything for now, thinking Yuri will look away. ]
What is it?
no subject
[ scawy. ]
no subject
They are difficult to get rid of, actually.
no subject
That's surprising. Are you someone kids flock to, then?
no subject
[ So it's a mystery to him why the kids are after his ass. ]
