Well too bad. I'd kill them first.

[He smiles.]

I'm pretty dangerous, I swear.

[gothchicklit]

I'll keep that in mind if I ever need a bodyguard. [ Which isn't really out of the realm of possibility here.

She moves to sit up again, gripping the bar for a moment. Now that she's let the alcohol settle, it's hitting her harder than she'd expected. ] I definitely think it's time to throw in the towel.

[redhotsummers]

[He holds back a laugh and pushes off.]

Well, then time for that ride, right?

[He turns her back to her, looking over his shoulder.]

Hop on.

[gothchicklit]

[ October stares at him for a moment, an amused look on her face. ] I didn't think you were actually serious. [ But she's not going to turn it down.

It takes a moment for her to actually hop on, partially due to the alcohol and partially because thanks to being very nearly drunk, but she eventually gets settled on his back. Her arms wrap around his neck and her legs wrap around his waist. ] I'm not choking you, am I?

[redhotsummers]

Of course I was.

[He grins and wraps his arms around her knees as he shifts his weight, testing to ensure that he could handle it. laughing, he shook his head.]

Nope, I'm good. See? First rate service here.

[And he starts out.]

[gothchicklit]

I hope you're not expecting a tip when we get back to my room. [ Her hands spread out slightly against his chest, fingers drumming lightly against his sternum. ] I don't have any cash.

[redhotsummers]

Well lucky for you, I work for free.

[He bites his lip, shifting her slightly as they walk. This has to be one of the stranger things he's done on the ship...but he actually feels pretty at home. Reminds him of stupid shit he'd do in high school.]

[gothchicklit]

You don't want to say that too loudly; people might not realize you're talking about piggyback rides.

She grins a little but when he shifts her, October leans forward a bit, though it's impossible to catch his eye while on his back. ] If I get too heavy, just tell me. I promise I won't go psycho on you for calling me fat or whatever.

[redhotsummers]

Dude, you're tiny. Besides, I'd be a weakling if I couldn't handle you.

[Really, despite being almost taller than him, she's a thin thing--easily carried.]

WOW what happened to the html there?

[gothchicklit]

I'm just saying. [ Her chin moves to rest on his shoulder. ] But if you keep talking like that, I might have to make this a regular thing. ...minus the alcohol.

who knows, lol

[redhotsummers]

Hey now--

[He laughs.]

I'm not some sort of pack animal.

[gothchicklit]

[ She grins. ] Okay, fine. But what if I break my leg?

[redhotsummers]

Well that's different. That's me saving a damsel or whatever.

[gothchicklit]

Hey! [ She reaches down to poke him in the side. ] I'm not a damsel in distress, broken bones or otherwise.

[redhotsummers]

Ow!

[Alex laughs.]

Fine, I'll just leave you to crawl then, ms. not-damsel.

[gothchicklit]

Or you could just help me and leave the damsel comments out.

[redhotsummers]

Aww, but what fun is that?

[gothchicklit]

Being a good guy and staying on my good side? [ It would take far more than that to get on her bad side, though. ]

[redhotsummers]

Aww and I thought I always stay on your good side?

[He hits the lift, and bends down slightly.]

Hit the button for your floor, please.

[gothchicklit]

There's always a first time for everything.

[ One arm stays wrapped around him while she reaches out with the opposite hand, hitting the button for her floor. ]

[redhotsummers]

Yeah, well sometimes there is a never for things too. [He looks over his shoulder at her, smirking.]

[gothchicklit]

[ Wrapping her arm around his neck again, October grins a little in return. ] Here's hoping that's the option we end up with.

[redhotsummers]

[When the elevator reached the floor, he walks out, shifting her slightly.]

Got to keep you as my buddy, you know?

[gothchicklit]

Your life would kinda suck without me. [ She gently nudges his head with her own. ]

[redhotsummers]

It certainly would be a bit more boring.

[He chuckles, and really he agrees. He likes October, and since their last real argument, things have been good. It's rare for him to have a friend who was a girl, who he didn't get completely freaked out over.]
