Well, it's a marvelous night for a moondance

[usaisnumberwon]

*Alfred had climbed up one of the tallest hills in HQ and set up a picnic blanket. He laid out several more blankets, for when it got colder - and it would, it is winter after all - and a basket full of goodies. In case the food and drink Matthew might bring ran out. Better to have more than not enough! He waited for his boyfriend to show up.*

He's going to love watching this lunar eclipse!

*He agrees with you.*

I love adventure! Even this one is kind of an adventure!

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

We should do some exploring of HQ someday. And call it an adventure.

[There were tons of rooms, after all. And not to mention the outside.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

Yeah...we'll just make sure to take proper hiking supplies.

*Exactly! So much to explore!*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

I'll pack extra in the first aid kit, too.

[He was playfully saying that Al was accident prone.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*Well there was some truth to that.*

Good idea. I might have to protect us from a wild animal or something!

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[He can't help but laugh at that.] Like what? A moose?

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

Hey! Those moose are dangerous! You gotta watch yourself around them!

*...leave it to Alfred to actually have been chased by a moose.*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[...he just doesn't understand moose like Canada does.]

Did you bother one, Al?

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*No, no he doesn't. He tries though.*

...define "bother."

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

...in your case, I'd say 'offer it a hamburger.'

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

I did NOT offer it a hamburger! I think I got in between a mom and her baby.

*Well, he had...tried to pet the baby moose. >x>*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

Usually that's the number one cause. [He's mostly teasing him.]

Though getting between any mother and child is never a good idea.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

I know, but...it was really cute, and I thought it was hurt until Mama showed up and chased me off!

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

She was just doing her job. And probably thought you were going to hurt her child. Animals can be very protective, you now.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

I know I know...wasn't gonna hurt it...so now I never go out when moose are out! *He crosses his arms and pouts.*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

Now you're just overgeneralising. I'll have to teach yout he proper way to approach moose. [Canadians know those sorts of things, after all.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

There's a proper way? *That they do. They have more Moose after all.*

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

There's a proper way to do everything, Al. Even approach moose. [Plus, he's more in touch with nature. Usually.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

Huh...well yeah, teach me sometime then. *He looks up at the moon.* Look! It's turned a different color...sort of.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

I'll be more than happy to. [That way, Al's less likely to be beaten up by a moose. Turning his attention to the moon, he looked up at it with a sort of awed look.]

That's amazing.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

Isn't it?! I think the peak will come in a few hours...sometimes I wish these things went faster, because I get so sleepy. But in comparison, the solar eclipses are too short...

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wish that they'd last longer. In retrospect, they always seem not to last long enough, after all. [Turning his head slightly, he snuck in a kiss on the cheek.]

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*He blushed.*

I...I guess so but this is going to take all night, this lunar eclipse I mean.

[vimyridge.livejournal.com]

[Playfully bumping his with his nose, he turned a bit and wrapped both arms around him.]

Good. The longer the better.

[usaisnumberwon.livejournal.com]

*His blush darkens but he wraps his arms back around Matthew.*

...long isn't bad.
