[attr="class","uriah"]surprisingly, there are very few ways to get dry without a towel. he looks around the beach for any ideas, finding none before turning back to her.

"...my airbnb isn't too far away."

maybe he's too cheap to stay at an actual hotel or maybe he just prefers something more comfortable. either way, it's only a mere five-minute walk away.

"or we could hike up to the viewpoint there. we'll probably dry out by the time we arrive."

’...My Airbnb isn’t too far away.’
[break][break]
Of all things Uri could have said, of all possible answers he could have given, he just had to say that, didn’t he?
[break][break]
Sol stares at him.
[break][break]
And she continues to stare.
[break][break]
And she says nothing at all.
[break][break]
What is there to even say, at this point? For saying something like that, he really doesn’t deserve to have her humour him with a response. It’s stupid, and he should know as much. She had given him no more than a ”maybe”, and this is how far he’d go with it?
[break][break]
Then again, knowing Uri, he may not have meant it in the way any sane person would interpret those words. But, that still doesn’t make it any less stupid.
[break][break]
So, what does Sol do?
[break][break]
She turns away without a word and starts walking.
[break][break]
Towards the viewpoint.

[attr="class","uriah"]for a long while, he's simply stared at, and he's at a loss as to why exactly. it's only when she turns away and starts walking that it hits him.

uri, you idiot.

with a sigh, he follows after her, holding most of his belongings in one hand while his other reaches out for hers.

"i didn't mean it like that, sol."

Of course Sol wouldn’t let him hold her hand this time.
[break][break]
She takes her shoes and her purse and she walks along the beach, not even bothering with putting the former on at first.
[break][break]
She also doesn’t bother with looking at Uriah, or with talking to him, only acknowledging him in any way once a couple of minutes have passed.
[break][break]
”We’re going to the viewpoint, Uri.”
[break][break]
And that’s that.
[break][break]
She could have waited much longer.
[break][break]
Maybe, she should have.

[attr="class","uriah"]it might've been just a couple of minutes but it sure feels like forever. he's tense the whole time, unsure what to do or what to say; what could he even say after that? so he's relieved when the silence between them is finally broken.

"okay."

he should say more, and so he does.

"i'm sorry. i really just meant we could've dried off there and nothing else."

pausing, he looks off to the side for a moment.

"...i'm not the best with words sometimes."

Yes, he’s not good with words, but honestly... Neither is she, and Sol knows this.
[break][break]
It’s why she prefers to be quiet. It’s why she rarely speaks if she doesn’t think she has anything good to say. It’s why she keeps most of her thoughts to herself. She has learned to be this way.
[break][break]
Uriah, on the other hand, seems to say whatever comes to mind without even thinking about it.
[break][break]
”It’s okay.”
[break][break]
It is, even if it did upset her.
[break][break]
”As long as you don't actually expect things like those just because of what I said.”
[break][break]
Expectations.
[break][break]
At this point, Sol really hates that word.

[attr="class","uriah"]where she prefers to stay quiet, to keep her thoughts to herself, he often chooses to do the opposite. it's what makes him end up in trouble most of the time, and he really should learn by now.

he shakes his head.

"no, no, of course not."

his gaze returns to her momentarily before moving off to the path ahead of them.

"i'm just looking forward to spending more time with you."

the path starts to slope up and he can basically see the viewpoint from here.

"i don't think we're that far now."

’I'm just looking forward to spending more time with you.’
[break][break]
At this, she finally looks at him, because even though she tells herself not to, there’s a part of her that hopes these words are true. A part that hopes Uriah means them, and that he’s not just saying what he thinks will placate her.
[break][break]
If it’s the latter, it works, for she sighs and with it lets go of some of her tension.
[break][break]
”Good… My clothes are still wet though.”
[break][break]
This sucks, but honestly, she doesn’t really regret ending up in the water.
[break][break]
Another long few seconds of silence.
[break][break]
"...Thanks for explaining, and for apologizing."
[break][break]
Her words are genuine, because even though both things were owed to her, Sol still knows it's not something that would be done by everyone.

[attr="class","uriah"]uri does mean it. he doesn't lie very often and what he says is almost definitely the first thing he feels, as they've come to experience.

"yeah...sorry again."

his clothes are wet as well but he doesn't seem to mind it. it's still pretty hot out despite it being the evening, which makes him wonder whether they'll be able to catch the sunset in time.

"of course. i can be pretty dumb at times so thanks for putting up with me."

”At times?”
[break][break]
She echoes his words, but there’s an ever so slight smirk tugging at her lips, obviously just teasing him.
[break][break]
”You’re not dumb, Uri, but you should be more careful with the things you say.”
[break][break]
He really should, but will he actually listen to her advice? Probably not.
[break][break]
And as the sky is tinted in the colours of the early evening, she looks ahead, noticing the viewpoint they’re heading towards. Sol has never been the kind of person who cares much for taking a moment to stop and appreciate her surroundings, but sometimes things like those are nice. Plus, it’s not like they have anything better to do, right?
[break][break]
”You better make it up to me for tossing me in the water, by the way.”

[attr="class","uriah"]pretty much all the time but damn there's no need to call him out like that. he still chuckles all the same, nodding in agreement.

"i'll try to be more careful."

the viewpoint comes into sight and it looks like they will make the sunset after all.

"pretty sure you pulled me down with you, but okay, i'll make it up to you somehow."

maybe with flowers...

Martín del Mar's words ring loud in his head.

"what would you like?"

”Because you deserved it. If you’re going to try to toss me into the water, at least make a good effort. But, when you do, don’t cry because of the consequences.”
[break][break]
It’s a fair warning. After all, anyone who does something like that without consent should expect to potentially get beaten up for it, right? Sol definitely could have done much worse than pulling him down with her…
[break][break]
‘What would you like?’
[break][break]
Honestly, she had been joking, but when the question comes, she pauses.
[break][break]
What would she like?
[break][break]
It’s a difficult question, and one Sol doesn’t have an answer for right now.
[break][break]
”Hmm… I’ll tell you when the time comes.”
[break][break]
Ominous.

[attr="class","uriah"]it definitely is a fair warning, and it's one he'll remember for the future if he ever tries to do anything stupid again. in his defense, he didn't think it was stupid when he did it...

i'll tell you when the time comes.

"kinda scary but okay, you got it."

whatever it is, he'll find out eventually.

for now, they arrive at the viewpoint slightly less wet than earlier. it's quiet, almost empty as they approach.

naturally, he gravitates towards a bench that looks out across the cliff, toward the ocean, and to the setting sun.

”Are you saying you think I’m scary, Uri?”
[break][break]
Intimidating is probably a better word when it comes to describing her, and Sol knows this, because plenty of people have told her as much before. She doesn’t see it as a particularly bad thing, or as a particularly good thing, but it does make her question why Uri seems to like her so much if he also thinks these things…
[break][break]
It’s something she wont bother with asking for details on, though. The matter is easily pushed aside, and she simply goes to sit at the bench, by his side.
[break][break]
The sun is setting. When was the last time she bothered with watching a sunset?
[break][break]
Probably when her Lycanroc was evolving.
