My partner, the genius.

[Her voice is teasing, laughter lurking in her tone, because the familiar banter is a welcome distraction from the tension of the climb. The strain's more noticeable now and she falls quiet for a while as they climb higher. Her gaze follows the rope where it goes up over the side - supposedly to the railing. The climb will be easier once they have the ship to brace themselves on, rather than empty air. She pushes herself harder.]

I just need the right push. I figured out how to use the coffee maker out of self defense. You don't try to kill me if I screw up the ironing.

[The coffee on the other hand...

Just a little further and then they'll at least have some kind of support. Much further and he'd start worrying about falling.]

Re: Day 2

[widows_kiss]

Clearly a push I'll need to start looking for once we get back. How else can I housebreak you, I wonder, with the right motivation?

[There's a smirk in her voice, but also a note of relief as they reach the bottom of the airship. She braces her feet against it, still using the rope and its easier and quicker to push herself upwards now. She glances down, making sure he's still alright and right behind her.]

Re: Day 2

[asthehawkflies]

And here I thought you loved me just the way I am.

[He grins but damn, it's good to see the end of their climb. He follows her up along the side of the ship, taking a moment to rest before going the rest of the way.]

Re: Day 2

[widows_kiss]

I think the word you're looking for there is 'tolerate', Barton.

[She keeps her weight braced on her feet for a moment, giving her arms a rest as she hovers above him, glancing down to meet his gaze.]

Alright?

Re: Day 2

[asthehawkflies]

While we're discussing the matter, Tash. You owe me t-shirts. All of them.

[Because damn it, he doesn't mind her borrowing them but she kind of uh- bends them out of shape a little in the chest area.]

I'm good.

Re: Day 2

[widows_kiss]

I don't recall discussing that matter at all. [There's a hint of smug humor in her tone at that and she catches his gaze for the briefest of moments, laughter lurking in green depths.]

Good. Do try to keep up then.

[That's all the warning she gives as she pushes herself upwards, scaling the side of the ship with a hasty ease. She only slows when she reaches the top of the railing, pausing to make sure the way is clear before hopping over onto the deck.]

Re: Day 2

[asthehawkflies]

Well, they say the memory starts going after a few decades...

[He smirks up at her, and god, he's missed this. Working alongside her is a joy.]

You're the one holding up the rest of the people on the rope.

Re: Day 2

[widows_kiss]

Barton, I will throw you off this ship.

[No she won't, because there's still laughter lurking in her tone as she lands to crouch beside the railing, taking in her surroundings. It really was like a giant sea-going ship. She waited for Clint to join her, eyes taking in everything.]

So. Do we look for a CIC or just a giant wheel?

Re: Day 2

[asthehawkflies]

But I draw fire so well...

[He follows her up, sliding over the raining next to her, a knife drawn.]

I'm thinking ship. Why put a CIC on something with balloons for power. This ain't the helicarrier.

Re: Day 2

[widows_kiss]

Because they're cultists. Who flies a ship with balloons? Why are you expecting logic to apply here. [Okay, so maybe there was some extra aggravation in her tone there, but they were dealing with cultists and that was enough to put her in a bad mood.]

Let's just go find them before they decide blowing up the ship sounds like a great idea while we're still on it.

[She turns to the left, keeping close to the railing and watching for any sign of movement. It seems quiet, but she's not taking chances.]

Re: Day 2

[asthehawkflies]

Uh... [Okay, she had a point there. This whole deal was pretty crazy.]

I dunno, the aesthetic would fit. Spoiling all my fun.

[He huffed softly, but was still grinning.]

Yeah, blowing it up is our job.

Re: Day 2

[widows_kiss]

I exist to spoil your fun, Barton. Mostly because 'fun' to you is 'insanity' to anyone else.

[Not that she was really one to talk.]

Let's see if we can take a few more of theirs out at the same time. Preferably before the crews can jump ship. I owe them some payback.

Re: Day 2

[asthehawkflies]

Right, like you aren't just as crazy and loving it.

[His gaze sharpens at the suggestion, switching effortlessly to a more focused mindset.]

I think we can manage that. We usually do.
