............ Hah?

( what a question to ask someone off the bat. she's not particularly sensitive about it or anything, but. )

What's it to you?

( How Is This Relevant, )

[likemybooks]

I need to know if I can carry you. [Said flippantly. It's a normal thing to ask if you have to lift someone, no fuss.] You seem light enough. It's just around the group, and then you can go back to...whatever you're doing.

[eirs]

( a glance down at her coffee.

well, at least this one gave her a heads up. that's a step in the right direction.

but still. )

What do I get out of it?

[likemybooks]

The...honor of having helped to complete my dare?

[A pause.]

I'll buy you something when we get back to Tokyo? Or Las Vegas?

[eirs]

( she doesn't react much until the second offer, to which she sets her mug down atop a log to keep it off the sand. expectant, but unsure how he's about to handle her. )

I'll hold you to it.

( when you've got basically $2 to your name this is nothing. )

[likemybooks]

[He nods, turns back to smirk at March 7th, then rubs his hands together.]

Let's see... [He's not the strongest guy, but by making sure his arms are wrapped around Tao's legs, then one on her back, he can distribute her weight well enough to lift her.]

Fall back, I got you.

[eirs]

( is she having second thoughts now? maybe a little. mostly because she feels like he's going to drop her.

and for the record, this is maybe the oddest trust exercise she's ever been a part of. )

........

( and at least she isn't being fireman carried. she guesses. there are worst ways to be handled. so with a sigh, she'll ease into letting him take over carrying her weight, an arm looped over his shoulder just so she doesn't get fully dropped if it happens. )

You better not drop me in the sand.

[likemybooks]

[Taryon realizes that if he drops her, he might get relegated with the worst chores in the van. Tao will despise him for...well, not forever, but for a long time. And he will have failed his dare.]

I will not.

[With that promise, he bends his knees and catches her weight. With some struggling, he lifts her lower half until her feet no longer touch the ground. It's a shaky grip, but he is successfully princess carrying her.

Taryon refuses to say anything in the fear that he will lose the strength he's got. He takes one small step in the sand, then another, inching his way around the circle of Outsiders.]
