[ The window slides open and Thalia's head pops out as she leans over precariously, brushing some of the longer hairs out of her eyes and holding them there as she grins down at him. She's dressed as promised, in black bikini-cut undies and a cut up and cropped old shirt. There is no crown on her head, not a touch of silver in sight. ]
Who's there?
[ Thalia waves her phone at him before reaching back inside to set it on her bedside table. ] You climbing up or are you letting yourself in?
[ from the ground, luke grins. his smile may outshine the moon with how he stands beneath her window and peers up. there's always a damn tree to climb, but luke's since grown to trust them to carry his weight, particularly this one. once she disappears, he sets upon his task to climb it rather than answer her. ]
[ it's easy to, long limbs and agility that he thinks may outdo even the best tree huggers in the world. once he's by her window, he swings his legs over and lands with a thud on his feet. ]
[ he grins. he only sounds slightly winded, ] You could've just let down your hair to make it an easier climb.
[ Thalia eyes him up from his feet to his head, her arms folded with her feet apart. Watching him puts a smile on her face and she cannot be assed to work it off into a more nonchalant expression. ]
So, what, you could be my Prince Charming?
[ That just makes her throw her head back laugh, even though she fully expects him to sulk and throw a faux-tantrum. The laughter subsides quickly and she only bothers to cover her mouth and rub under her nose by the end of it, slowly approaching him by her window. ]
I'm not exactly trapped in a tower. [ Trapped by other things, sure, though she still thinks the analogy is stupid. ]
[ the look he gives her can be summed up as follows: duh. ]
[ of course he's prince charming. if luke could be anyone in the land of fairytales, it'd be either that or goldilocks who gets a lot of free food. he'd be able to lock the damn bears and their friends out of their house and take it as his own — of course, he'd wait until they paid the mortgage off completely before he made his move. ]
[ standing before her, he throws his hands behind his back and remains where he stands. he's a gentleman and he wishes to stand by such a title. ]
[ his voice is patient when he speaks, ] Because I saved you. [ it's like as though he's speaking to a princess who has awoken from a long slumber — or thalia. sometimes she requires him to spell out his good intentions, always seeing the bad in him. his eyes never leave her, watching as she approaches him. his lips curve upward as he's unable to bite the shape back. ] I'm Prince Charming. It's my job. Sometimes I'm so good at it you don't even realise you were in trouble in the first place. [ he shrugs his shoulders, as if it's as simple as that. ]

Is that all?

Just kidding, you should be in the shower or something.

I was thinking of taking a shower and locking the door so no Peeping Thalias could get in.

Ugh. I'm tired and we've been going around in circles the entire time we've been talking.

It's exhausting talking to you. :)

Why are you still talking to me if it's such a strain on your delicate sensibilities?
