Test Drive Meme #1

[proximods]

The sun is shining and the weather is nice and toasty. Overly toasty one might argue, even. It's a great day to be laying around at the beach, so it's a good thing that that's where you've found yourself today, whether you'd made plans to be there or not. Bathing suit and sunscreen ready, you're going to get your tanning time on.

But with heat comes the expected side effects for a place like Proxima Gamma. While the cool water can sometimes slow the effects, the heated beaches and freshly popped flowers seem to have made getting close to someone else just seem like a really great idea. You can try to fight off the side effects much as you want, but the scientists like to believe everyone has a breaking point.

[ She brushed at dress, sighing slightly as the cool water went up to her calves. Reaching down to stuck her hands in. With a glance over her shoulder, she smirked at him.]

What's the matter Hiccup, apparently it's the proper hairstyle here.

[ Astrid do NOT TAKE OUT THAT BRAID. He is very concerned about this. ]

Well, I mean, proper isn't really the world. People can maybe wear their hair down without the same sort of implications, but you it's not improper to keep it up. Besides, why would you want to let it down in this heat? That just seems a little foolish to me.

[ YEAH. THAT'S IT. TOO HOT, ASTRID. ]

[She tilts her head at him, watching him fumble. After all, that was nothing new. She debates between just all out laughing at it, or continue to tease. She holds back the laugh, the edges of her lips twitching.]

The...same...sort of implications? What implications Hiccup? [Her eyelashes batted slowly and she played the fool.]

[horrendoushaddock]

[ He's starting to blush, but he's not buying Sweet Innocent Astrid routine. He shakes his finger at her. ]

Oh, no. No, no, no, I know you Astrid. You know exactly what kind of implications I'm talking about.

[Her eyes widened and her lips pursed as she shook her head quickly. She was still going to feign she had absolutely no idea. In fact, she reached up for her hair, starting to play with the piece of rope that kept the whole braid wound together.]

Go on Hiccup...tell me.
